Has someone managed to run more than 13 GPU (nvidia) on Linux ? I currently have an Asrock card with 13 GPU from Nvidia and was tempted to go for a 19 gpu mining rig but before doing this, I'd like to make sure it works. I wrote to Asus and the only thing they can provide is a recommendation but with their recommendation you never reach 19 GPU of the same brand so it defeats the purpose of going for this card in my case.

I bought this board without reading the documentation so now i have ~16 nvidia GPUs so i'll try to get it working on ubuntu and report back here

Won't work, the limit is BIOS/CPU related from the looks of it, basically anything over 13 regular cards will not post properly on this board.

I really wish people would read that actual documentation provided by ASUS when buying this board, or the documentation on the product website, before posting this incorrect nonsense.

This motherboard has gotten a bad reputation for absolutely no reason.

It is by the far the easiest motherboard to use. You have to make zero BIOS changes other than to select iGPU as the main display. It ships default in mining mode. All PCI-e slots are spaced to avoid the ASRock shorting problem. Multiple ATX ports to avoid linking with third party addons. Increased PCI-e power for riser stability.

I have 3 of them, and it will be the only board I use unless they release one that's even better with no need for mining specific cards.
