I just tried to connect m2 port to a m2 to pcie adapter but system doesn't detect the gpu connected to it... does anybody knows some bios mod or additional setting to get it works or may it depends from hardware/chipset limitations? thanks for helping.

I am going to see if I can get a 9th GPU working this weekend.
FYI - using a PCIE Splitter to achieve this and version 7 PICE Risers...
Thanks for sharing, I haven´t thought about PCIE Splitters. I´m running windows 10 on a MSI Z170A-S02 currently mining on 6x 1070 GPUs. Do you think it would be possible to expand it to 8 GPUs using PCIE Splitters?
Thanks in advance,
