That will not fit 5 or 7 video cards. Look at how they're spaced.

Although to be fair, I don't think any of them will. X99/X299 is probably the only motherboard you'll be able to even get 5 on. You might be able to get 4 on that one assuming you use every other PCIe slot.

Better off buying a lesser board/processor that meets your gpu requirement if you're mining.

That's awesome. you run power into the mobo and it directs it to the video card through the PCIe slot?

Yeah, you would probably need single slot cards.
I did find mobo's that took TWO CPUs and had 7 well spaced slots.

As for mobos like the one in the pic you linked... I would look to the oriental sitesmanufacturers for those. Like Tyan possibly, or similar.

If you do find one, it's not gonna be less than like $300. It's kind of a niche products.
