I am going to try the "[OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.4". Just waiting on my flash drive coming in today. Has anyone used this before ?

Windows 10 can support more, http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/13-gpu-mining-rig/ ....
Maybe the motherboard cant. CPU can do 16 lanes.

As others have suggested, try your luck with your preferred Linux distribution.

Graphics drivers for Windows 10 have a cap at 8 GPUs (each AMD, and Nvidia), excluding some "mining-specific" cards.
Linux should be able to handle more, and since you didn't mention having any AMD GPUs, it shouldn't be too much of a pain. (Running GPUs with different manufacturers tends to be rather difficult on Linux.)

Windows sees the cards drivers installed fine... Freezes with claymore and newest afterburner only sees 8.

Use Windows 10 Fall Creators update. will get more than 8 GPUs working.

Try simple mining OS. Very easy to use and Linux based do it scales much better than Windows.

Z170A mobos are known to not do well with high numbers of GPUs.
Increase the ram, increase the PSU W and switch over to Linux.

you can't run more than 8 with windows. I am using 16 on linux. You can use by windows 8 amd+8nvidia but not more than 8 for the same driver

Maybe you need reboot your windows or intall ubunty?

I will try ubuntu tomorrow.  I hear its a pain in the ass tho.

Make sure you are providing enough power to all of those.

Same thing happend to me so

Did you figure it out ? Was it just power ? I mean my afterburner don't see it only 8 of out 9. Windows see 9, Nvidia control panel see 9.... GPU-Z froze like claymores.
