I have a motherboard that was specifically for crypto mining with 6 slots available and I have 9 GPUs Nvidia GTX 1660, how can I use these graphic card on a motherboard with just 6 PCIe slots available?

Get a PCIe slot extender and pray it works on your motherboard, they are cheap and worth giving a try, the reason why I said you should pray it work is because on few motherboard it won't work very well, I've seen this happen so I'm talking from past experience.

The best thing to do is build the first farm for 6 video cards, and buy a second motherboard for other video cards. Then you can buy any video cards of the 1000-3000 series.

I know a friend that use two PCIe riser adapters on a single motherboard, I laughed at him because I was so sure it won't work but it worked, running up to 11 graphic cards on the motherboard.
