I have this Board, it rocks for a year with 5 GPU, I discourage you to use ribbon type risers as it gets power from your mother board and burn it, use powered USB riser instead.
though I did not try them on 6 or 7 GPU due to PSU limitation 850W

oh i was only going to use a single 16x ribbon for the 16x socket. definitely aware you really don't want to run more than 2 cards on the board directly 24-7 for that very reason. other 4 cards are going to be on 009 risers from the 1x slots. do you guys usually use like one cable per two 1x riser cards via molex? i've seen posts of some people trying a 1x riser in the 16x slot but they also often complain of issues and a loose fit. my only concern is enabling the 16x at 16x may run me short on pci-e lanes. i can't find anyone who makes a 16x plug for the board that goes to a standard powered riser
hmm. do you think i'm better off just trying to secure a 1x powered riser into the 16x slot along with the 1x slots now you have me thinking about pcie lanes
i have a seasonic prime platinum 1000w for power. was going to check the wattage and see what i get with 5x1070 + the 4790 cpu. not sure if i can really push for a 6th card without going over 80% rated power. would like to say at 60-70%
