How to implement 6 dual width GPUs on ASROCK RomeD8-2T for dedicated server setup

Good day.

I found your website researching for solutions on my model of ASRock RomeD8-2T for a dedicated GPU server for 3D render farm. I intended to utilise 6 RTX 3080 GPUs with the board but also realised the PCIe slots are single rather than double slots. Please how do I successfully take advantage of the 6 PCIe 4 x16 slots to setup a GPU server with an EPYC 7H12 CPU? Can I also get a recommendation for the best cooling solution and casing? My objective is not with a consideration for budget but performance preference.

Thanks and please forgive any wrong ethic with the post as am new and don't do this often.

You'll be able to run 6 GPUs on that board only with pcie rise cables. Or with custom liquid cooled GPUs that are single slot.

You'll either need a mining rig as a case where you can place your gpus, or some roomy rack chassis. You can use a standard air cooler for the cpu.
