I know a friend that use two PCIe riser adapters on a single motherboard, I laughed at him because I was so sure it won't work but it worked, running up to 11 graphic cards on the motherboard.

This is what you looking for

I have a motherboard that was specifically for crypto mining with 6 slots available and I have 9 GPUs Nvidia GTX 1660, how can I use these graphic card on a motherboard with just 6 PCIe slots available?
The best thing to do is build the first farm for 6 video cards, and buy a second motherboard for other video cards. Then you can buy any video cards of the 1000-3000 series.

Get a PCIe slot extender and pray it works on your motherboard, they are cheap and worth giving a try, the reason why I said you should pray it work is because on few motherboard it won't work very well, I've seen this happen so I'm talking from past experience.
