This claim says that you should be able to install 4 standard 2 slot GPUs on the Godlike MB and be able to run them without water cooling (my opinion). The discussion thread disputes the 3 slot distance between Pcie slots.
I got talked out of buying a used Godlike MB because of the possible cooling issue and wanting to run more than 4 GPUs for BOINC E@H crunching.
However, I have also been experiencing not very good riser card hardware. So an alternative was to get an MB with enough space between full-length slots to run the GPUs directly on the MB. Yes, I just ordered a brand new set of riser cards. I expect to trash almost all of my current riser card hardware. I bought some used ones. Which as usual was a mistake.

The MB slot spacing on the MSI Godlike looks standard to me. I run 4 double-wide gpus in motherboards with the exact same spacing.
The cards will fit. The only caveat is that there is like 1/8" of clearance from face of one card to the butt of the adjacent card. So air-cooled cards will run a bit hotter than if there was some more spacing between cards.
No problem with water-cooled custom or hybrid cards even with the same issues of lack of air input spacing to the fan on the card as the radiator does the majority of the cooling.
My two-slot wide hybrids typically run in the middle 40's.

I have running an Asrock B450 MB with a 2700x CPU, 2 sticks with 16MB ram and two Rx 580 gpus.
This is the most stable my Rx 580 gpus have ever been. I am really pleased with this combo. And the cost of the MB's is budget level.
Con: It doesn't have an obvious CPU multiplier. So I haven't been successful in overclocking the CPU. Ryzen Master didn't seem to be able to either.
So I am looking at a new Asus Strix B450-F Gaming II motherboard that actually has 3 long slots on the MB plus it has the B450 chip set. And it is a budget MB that will apparently run a Ryzen 3950x CPU. Yes I know the MB doesn't have Pcie 4.0
The review from Tom's Hardware (no relation) claims it OCed an 2700x well past 4Ghz so it it should be able to run a 3950x at standard maximum (non-OC) with no problem.
I just offered someone $80 for a new one.

In summary my EYPC MB was probably damaged in some way and was never able to run more than 4 gpus reliably. Given that everyone else was managing 7 gpus...
The replacement Taichi mb was run on my erector-set MB frame (which probably damaged the MB) and has been running in a regular mining frame with no problems. I even experimented with 5 gpus and it seemed to be stable.

The BIOS is really lacking compared to what I am used to with my ASUS C7H boards.
I never got past 3400Mhz overclock stable on the memory though.
2950x here, I'm stable at 3466mhz, I actually had to downclock my 3600 Corsair memory, it just wont run at that speed in this board. I thought it might be the memory so tried two different sets to no avail, Its fast enough..
