I'd still suggest using risers, rather than seating it on the mobo to help air flow to and out of the cards

I'm using an Asus Prime Z270-A (and a Intel G4400) with 6x GTX 1070 and 1x GTX 1060. The mobo has by default 7 pci-e slots and I think you could use 3 gpu's without any risers. https://www.asus.com/be-nl/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/

As a psu, I'm using a Corsair AX1500i.

Do not go with any MSI motherboard, I unfortunately learned the hard way and after spending a couple days trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with my machine (PSU, risers, GPUs, etc...), slowly learned that there are LOTS of people in the mining community who have issues with majority of MSI boards, which was unfortunate because I was originally recommended this board..

Anyways, I'm trying out these 2 now.. Both were recommend to me from several miners.. ASRock tends to be a very popular brand, but these are what I went with

This one holds 6 GPUs using risers of course and

This one holds 13 but I wouldn't recommend going over 6 per rig just out of stability and maintaining it to stay online...

I haven't used the ASRock mobos yet but they are being delivered today, I can report back later tonight after I have everything setup if you'd like.. or send me a message
