Thank you for the feedback.
Agreed, but it is too late to RMA them. So we are looking for a way to make some use of them.
How does one determine the maximum amount of cards / power a motherboard can handle? Besides, we are moving away from the thought of further extending this build, i. e. we replace the board and the CPU with something that only handles 4 GPUs at max. (E. g. ASRock Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming + 1900X)
Got plenty of space in our cabinets and found the 6U chassis to be fairly suitable. The chassis requires the use of risers. Really looking for a setting where those 4 cards work properly cooled in our cabinet.
Already did, but it does not help in this case. The goal for now is to build something working around the RTX cards. Mistakes have been made purchasing them before anything else, now looking to find a solution.
Best,
