I see this very often recently that users try to just go all-in without any prior experience with hardware and building cracking rigs and afterwards try to blame others (hashcat etc) for their fault... I'm not saying that it is the case here... but why would you start with such a huge project and such a difficult task of setting up such a monster cracking machine ?
Are you experienced with these types of setups ? Did you build several (smaller) cracking rigs before etc ?
I mean, for the machine with 13 1070, you would need at least 13 * 8 GB (VRAM of 1070) of RAM... that would be probably a minimum of 128 GB (or 112 GB, which is kind of an odd number)... risers also sometimes come with a lot of trouble, especially if they are cheap ones and you are not experienced with them... the power supplies (PSUs) can be difficult to set up correctly and there might be even a problem with your power outlets/cabling etc to power such a huge rig etc etc etc
Building such a huge rig is indeed a challenge and it is easy to miss some important steps (especially if you are eager and try to save a lot of money at the same time, e.g. not buying founder edition or reference design cards or "forget" about how important cooling is for maximum speed and prevent throttling etc).
I don't want to discourage you, but it's not that easy to get everything working.... please at least don't blame hashcat or hashcat forum users afterwards for things you didn't consider or saved money on.
It's just a friendly warning that there might be some challenges to get everything working at maximum speed if you are not experienced with this things.
