I am curious on how to accomplish 6x 1080ti and 6x Acorns on the Asus Prime myself. I have a similar mobo as far as slots and most features in the Asus Maximus Formula X. Of course I know now (after reading the manual - Asus web page did not list my board as compatible) that I could use the ASUS Hyper x16 card which is cheaper than the Acorn Nest options but I was concerned about the PCIe lanes limited to 16 for the 8700k and the motherboard.
