@hrh_fourtyseven Maybe 2, maybe 5 - you'd need to find the technical specs of the board.
So I can handle 8 HDD at least without any Pcie USB Controllers and I can use that extra PCIE for another gpu just for Burst Mining :)

Googled a little...changing motherboard. Asus Z270-A have 7 pcie + 2 m.2 so I can have 9 pcie and one for usb controller :)
Are you sure GPUs will draw all their power from the auxiliary power connector, only ?
Your m.2 ports will not deliver the 75W that are provided on "normal" PCIe slots.
The M.2 Converters have separate Power connector, Tested and working like a charm, trust me
