don’t use windows.
try
simplemining.net also know as smos
or try
hive os
both are good for mining.
i use smos for my 24 rigs.
yep, we run linux in this game, but i requires that you know how to use it,
i just boggles the mind the number of people using windows to mine, and also there is no point in trying to mine more than 6 gpus, it doesn't matter if the mobo has 100 pcie slots, you need to go back to the bios, and correctly set it up for basic six gpus get that running, and before that install linux, ubuntu 20 is fine and learn to use all the tools including lshw, nvidia-smi, nvidia-settings,lspci
I just don't understand how noobs can jump right in with a ton of high end cards, without first just getting a single gpu gtx-1060 to mine correctly,
lastly about 20% of all risers sold are bad, and 50% of those are crap; you also need to buy real good modular power supplys for the rtx-3070, given that three need +800Watts GOLD seal top of the line
Also never run the overclock bullshit until you get stuff working, i get so tired of hearing people who don't even mine talk about overclocking and after burning, all it does is overheats and kills your $1k cards
too many things wrong with this post, but I would say, get back to basics start with a simple six slot gpu mobo, and one card, and get trex tuned and running, and then only then add cards one at a time, and for gods sake kill the WINDOWS
That right there makes these posts not even worth replying, why in the hell are people using windows? Do they really think that its free? It's not even considered an OS anymore its officially an advert platform like facebook.

On the subject of 'how many gpus I have on my rigs', I must be in a real hot place, I double space my gpus on my rigs, and have huge fans running opposite ends, an huge exhaust fans pulling heat, given that a rig can only handle 3 high end 250w cards, and 1000w higher power supplys are super expensive and still lacking the number of modular connections required
I'm sure you can run an 18gpu miner MOBO on the old gtx-1060 class cards, and runnng at 60watts, sure why not, and only using one 6pin pwr cable per card, but these bad ass rtx-3070s are like 5x hotter and more power consuming and heat generating.
Rig chassis cost $10 its the cheapest thing to buy, keep the wiring clean, its just fine, hell I don't know about you people I have to pull all the cards and clean them every three months, otherwise the dust-bunnys short out the voltage-regs on the cards, and yes I'm running air cleaners systems, if I had 8+ cards per rig and had to pull those cards so close together every 3 months it would be insane.
The cards die if there hot and/or dirty, they must be kept clean and cool. Once their dead often you cannot repair them. You people must be operating in some kind of 'clean room' with air-cond
