If a custom massive motherboard for a single machine would be made with connections for hundreds of CPU, GPU and RAM sticks, could regular BIOS recognize all of them and Windows OS be installed on that machine?
If so, would Windows be able to use all of that computing power?
If not what additional things would need to be done to make use of such components on a single machine? Custom BIOS, custom OS?
I am aware that there are many applications which require much more computations that running a PC game but I am still interested if some games could then run at the tens of thousands of frames per second?

Modern supercomputers aren’t some giant moderboard with a thousand CPUs on it, but more or less a lot of normal hardware in a particular configuration. It’s many quite normal computers working together, and yeah, you could probably boot Windows on one of those.
