I'm putting plans together to build a render farm and am wanting to use PCI riser cables to lift the GPUs up and off of the motherboard so that I can provide better air cooling solutions. Also, to try and maximize the number of GPUs I can put on 1 node. I haven't seen much online of anyone doing this. But I have seen this article talking about it below. I don't want to use liquid cooling. I want to do something similar to a mining rig, but using riser cables to keep the bandwidth for Redshift.
How far has anyone taking this? I'm looking to use an AMD Threadripper Pro for it's 128 lanes. I'm currently looking at this MB:

You will want to make sure you don't lose any performance when attaching a or multiple GPUs to the Motherboard through Riser Cables.
