One of my friends is getting his hands on a 19-slot mobo... Funny thing is he has no idea how to set up the damn thing.
What's the latest on Windows' support for more than 8 GPUs of the same brand? Would I have to set him up a Linux distro if he wanted to run 19 GPUs on that mobo? Or is 16 doable under Win10? I wasn't recommending that mobo to him due to the major point of failure risk... but hey ho he went for it. Now I can see myself setting it up for him...

That board needs 6 x P106 Mining card, as pre-req to work.

He did it with Win10 - 19 x GPUs
If I remember correctly BBT started with p106's and started adding normal GPU's to max it out instead of the other way around. I would check the latest BIOS/chipset drivers for updates on compatibilty, but 8 normal Nvidia and 8 amd should work fine, or start with 13 AMD and add Nvidia one at a time. The worst part of that board is the crazy loading times and then trying to load OC values after that. Seems more feasible to stick with 8-13 GPU motherboards.
Everyone's jumping onto the mining bandwagon nowadays. Got colleagues at work flocking to me as they hear I'm into crypto. Helped one of them ordering parts. My plumber/electrician has setup a rig and I was walking him through how to get his mined coins out of Suprnova into his Coinomi wallet!
