I think this is possible only if all GPU's are installed into x16 slots, but I have not heard about the existence of motherboards with 6x PCIE x16 slots.
The best result I saw using I7-8700K and  1x1060 was 500KH @PCIEx16,  420KH @PCIEx4 and 230KH @PCIEx1.

I7-8700K. 1060@PCIEx16 + 1060@PCIEx4:

Can you make test with I7-8700K and 1070@PCIEx16?

Once the miner is optimised in the next few months it will be able to run at full speed on the GPU with low cpu load.  It's just the way the miner is currently written thats making it cpu / pci-e bus bound.

If you have the hardware and you don't mind swapping the cpu on then it makes sense to do a swap and mine at the best hash rate.

It's a combination of Cpu speed(DDR3 ram cpus take a big hit) 80% x pci-e width 15% x 5%GPU.

So with 2x GTX 1060 on a i7 you get more hash than 4x1060's on a i5 2500s . ~700h/s

More than 3 cards and the performance gains are reduces too..

I'm getting about 8 btm a day on i5 2500s with 1060 x 4. More profitable than most on crypto coinz.

So I have the option of getting a i72600 (max supported by Mining rig) or using two cards on 16x and 8x mode on a i7 3770. To get 700h/s. What's the best watt/hash? As I doubt my i7 is very efficient
