Linux should support up to 32 but custom settings like clock, voltage only work for first 10 so would need to flash BIOS to get right settings for all GPUs.

Looking good

Have you made that frame from scratch or did you buy it?

It can certainly be a challenge getting larger rigs to run stably but it's somehow more rewarding to see them running if you do. Good luck!

I suspect you've probably seen most of them already, but there's quite a few Youtube videos of 13 GPU miners built using that motherboard. It does seem that Linux is the best option for such a large rig:

I'm currently working on a much smaller rig; just 5 cards. I'm using extruded aluminium and aiming for compactness and simplicity this time. I've got it down to 500mm (high) x370mm x370mm, though I could probably go a little smaller. I'm looking to standardise a compact, stackable and robust design that I can easily make more of to use as room heaters this winter. I'll post some photos when it's finished.
