My friend : Other cards, including HBA use 8, And 4 port gigabit uses 4. Lanes that is.. Like I said he got tons of cards.. None of his cards fit an x4 slot..

Thanks for all the info guys. But you all got the assumption that what he is asking for is 4 or more x16 slots he doesn't care if they are x8... Just not x4 coz all his add-in cards are long like 4 port Nic card and GPUs. For GPUs 1x16 to main 2x4k Monitors and 1 dedicated GPU for 3rd always on screen a 960 it's just so he can check what's happening on system. So doesn't matter 8f it is running in x8... It's ports he cares about coz if he upgrades now with boards lacking slots he won't be able to use all his cards. So he is stuck...

Wgen the guy wants AMD he is unlucky... So bottom line stick with Intel

Exactly... But no motherboards give you 5 PCie Slots we have looked high and low... Why?

If there was a brand we could kill it would be Gigabyte coz we had nothing but bad experience with their products... That aside he wants AMD not Intel... So yeah wait n see I guess...

Ahh... We looked... None to be found... All offer 4 ports max

Well clearly there are people like my friend here who use more than 4 slots. He has 2x1080Ti 1x950 1x4Port 1G Nic 1xHBA and a 4 port 10G Nic card... He's looking for an AMD board where he can use all those and they are all full length

So he might as well stick with Intel. What a shame... But can anyone shed some light as to why? And he doesn't care if it's x8 or x16 just not x4 or below

Hey there... A friend of mine who uses a lot of add-in cards one day asked me a question I couldn't answer even after Googling for a while. I was wondering if anyone here can shed some light... What AMD CPU provides most number of PCie Lanes and why isn't there an AMD Chipset Mobo with more than 4 Full length PCie Slots? He currently is on Intel with a 5960x / WS mobo with 6 PCie Slots all of which are currently being used... Thanks in advance.

I have 12 different Browsers in "Portable" mode I used Maxthon 6 that has no modifications for Gleam.io to load fine Damn I knew it was too good to be true... I submitted my entries for nothing ... Am not in US nor Canaduck.... Gees... Am never lucky

If I answer it they might think am a cannuck. Am from Kronos a Klingon world

I dunno but this part makes me think that this giveaway is for Canada only or we can skip this step if we ain't from there for therm to tell that we ain't Cannucks ?

Was not mentioned anywhere so could be worldwide

I was wondering is that giveaway worldwide or US/Canada only ?

Well put my friend. True that with all that RT stuff 10 series will age badly, but for us who don't really care for that stuff and can get 60fps or more on 1440p it's not a must upgrade... But nevertheless I don't see myself sticking to the 1080 for more than a year... Maybe by Christmas 2021 I might jump on the 3070 train. If I find a job by then. I just quit my position at Apple Ireland due to catastrophe in Lebanon my home... Need to take care of things there...
