Hi,

I recently bought PCIE 1 to 4 expansion cards from below.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-PCI-E-1X-Expansion-Kit-1-to-4-Ports-Switch-Multiplier-Hub-Riser-Card/122820612734?hash=item1c98add27e:g:TD4AAOSw9gRaFAFL

However, on my old system with chipset X58 and also on new H97 chipset, only maximum 6 GPUs working. I tried every possible settings in BIOS but no luck getting more than 6 GPUs working on any of these chipset.
I am now thinking to move towards newer chipset like B250. If I purchase lower end mobo. with 1x PCIE 16 and 1x PCIE1x slot , will it work? Do newer chipset support 8 GPUs? I am not talking about special mining motherboard, just a regular one.
