Does anyone has challenged with asrock h110 pro btc?

Hey, was this rig ever stable?
To put it another way, is this a new issue, and previously this rig was stable?

One thing I wanted to post on, PSUs, deserves it's own post, so check back in 30 min, I'll write it up now.
Good luck btw.

Yes, it was stable with 10 AMD RX. Now it's working for 14 hours. But yesterday there were 3 sudden reboots in one hour

Your RIG and component selection/quantity is very similar to one of my RIGs.
Actually, I have scaled back from 13GPU, max 4x RX580 per 1000W Corsair, (assuming 1 PSU is also powering MB).
I did build a 13GPU rig for someone, and it IS super stable, but it was a long fight to get there, and I'd estimate it cost at least 1 month of downtime before I felt that is really stable.
That is 1 month of lost mining time, and a LOT of my time, Given it was super stable at 10GPU, loosing so much time for the 11th, 12, and mostly 13th GPU makes me consider if that was worth it.

Of course, given payback time mining, it WAS worth it, but one can only say that with hindsight, and I've actually settled on 8GPU as a max per rig, (with 1000W PSUs), simply because I can build that up to super stable in half a day, and have a pretty high certainty it will be mining after 5 hours, and at what hash rate.

The problem is, with more and more GPU per rig, down time REALLY starts to hurt more and more.
Even rebooting a 13GPU rig, that is 13 GPU doing nothing.

Don't get me wrong, I learned a lot from that 13GPU project, it's actually a Asus B250, so has another 6 slots free, but adding in Nvidia at this stage, means shutting it down, 13x GPU doing nothing.
Now, if it was unstable right now, that might be different, but it's super stable, I don't even reboot it, I was hoping for a new run-time record on it actually, but had a damn power cut last week, but it still holds the record in all my rigs, (170 hours) nonstop (until the power cut), and that is Claymore too of course, no restarts even.

Anyway, good luck, and kudos on the 13GPU rig man :-)
