If you are considering running dual PSU it might be cheaper to run two systems each with 4 GPUs, you can easily score two used H61 motherboard + CPU + ram combo cheaper than 270 MB.

I haven't seen any success stories running 8 GPUs unless some people with modded gear and none shared the solution

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

when using 8 or more gpu rigs, do you split psus? Lets say I've 8 Rx 480, But my psu has only 6 gpu connectors. Each cable has two gpu plugs but one of plugs is 6pin. How do you handle this?

Yes but you can use 2 +750w which is alot cheaper than one big monster psu. They is if you run 8 RX470 4g

Yeah ... good luck running 8 GPU's on one motherboard.

Has any tried any of the following MB from MSI?

Z270-A PRO
Z270 GAMING M7
Z270 GAMING M5
Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON
Z270 KRAIT GAMING
Z270 SLI PLUS
Z270 SLI
Z270 GAMING PRO

Most of them has 6 PCI-E ports and some has 2 M.2 ports.

I want to build a 8 GPU rig using RX470 but so far I am stuck on 7 GPU with old 1150 MB.
