I have 2 platforms on ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 (Fatal1ty)
1. 6 x AMD RX series. No problem with 6 x GPU even I have default bios
2. 6 x Nvidia (1080 x 2, p104-100 x 4). Damn, I have a lot of problems even I have last bios 4.90 and 4G above option enable.
PCIE1-1080, PCIE2-1080, PCIE3-P104-100 , PCIE4-P104-100 , PCIE5-P104-100 , PCIE6-P104-100. If I plug the last P104-100 in PCIE6, system don't boot
PCIE1-P104-100, PCIE2-P104-100, PCIE3-P104-100 , PCIE4-P104-100 , PCIE5-1080 , PCIE6-1080. System work with 6 gpu but unstable. 2 of P104-100 get "code 10 Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API", but If I disable and enable this devices in device manager then ok, all gpu (6) is work. But anyway in some causes I have a bluesscreen 0x0000009F DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE
I tried almost everything in bios, what should I use in NB and SB, GEN1, GEN2, GEN3? Any other option? Who work well with Nvidia?

I can share my info with you guys. I made 4 RX Vega 64 cards mine on this MoBo. Win10, Blockchain driver, PCIe x1-x16 risers. For some reason system can't boot and run normally while one GPU is connected to second "long" PCI-e slot via riser, so I skipped this slot.
So it is possible! But it's a bit complicated...

OS: Ubuntu 16.04
RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3200MHz
Two GPUs work no matter how I connect them to motherboard, be it via risers or on 16x slots. If M.2 installed, only one GPU works.

I remember seeing notes on specific AM4 boards that use of the M.2 slot will sometimes disable one of the GPU slots.
I'm not sure if your board is one of those, but it seems like *ALL* of the AM4 boards with more than one PCI-E 3.0 slot "shares" lanes between the second slot and the M.2 connection.
For some reason MB makers seem to dedicate 16 of the 20 (for Ryzen) PCI-E lanes to the first GPU slot on ALL of the boards I've looked at, and have to share out the other 4 among everything else.
Any AM4 board I've looked at to date with 3 x 16-bit slots use PCI-E 2.0 from the chipset to run the 3'd slot, usually at x4 or "share" x4 with other stuff.
I wanted to build a rig with with Ryzen 5 1600 as the CPU mines cryptonote (XMR) at around 350H/s. ASRock AB350 with 6 PCIe looked to me a good option for the price, but I can't run more than two GPUs. Worse, when one M.2 SSD is installed, only one GPU works. Anyone tried this motherboard?
That is exactly what i did except I used a ssd. Everything works fine with 6 gpu. The initial set up is tedious though you need to add card one by one so a lot of reboots. After that, you should be fine.

I want to order this mobo too:

is it compatible by default with 5 GPU?
Of course I also bought:

thank you in advance for your time
Thanks! I will look up the bios today. Hoping some magic happens.

Two GPUs work no matter how I connect them to motherboard, be it via risers or on 16x slots. If M.2 installed, only one GPU works. I'm currently using one 850W Thermaltake toughpower RGB PSU to run two GPUs, 850W should easily be able run three GPUs, right? Risers are SATA powered (instead of Molex).

Yeah, your 850W power supply should be fine.
I'm not too familiar with the new Ryzen series, but the chipset/CPU should have enough PCIe lanes for more than 2 cards, albeit not with maximum bandwidth, but that doesn't matter for this type of use.
When you say that 2 GPUs work no matter how you connect them, have you also tried putting one in the primary x16 slot (through an x1 riser) and then others on risers only through the physical x1 slots (and not the other x16 slot)?
Have you tried opening the BIOS and looking for settings regarding the PCIe link speed? It should be somewhere under chipset settings. If you find it, set the link speed to 1.

According to some posts in that thread, it should definitely be possible to get more than two cards running using your current board.
Can you provide more information? (RAM, PSU, OS, powered/unpowered risers, basically everything that might be relevant.)
When you try to run more than 2 GPUs, are the first two plugged directly into the x16 slots?
