New Z490 MOBOs

[KablahGaming]

Zooming around Newegg and the new Z490 motherboards coming out I saw something that I don't understand. This MOBO is able to support quad SLI but only has 3x PCIe slots. Shouldn't it have one more? Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Probably a copy and paste typo, just like the one where another Intel board had an "SOC".

Plus I doubt you could even get three cards in SLI/Crossfire on that board. Unless they all ran at x4.  Two, yes, at x8/x8.

I was thinking that but just making sure I wasn't missing something on the board. Glad I'm not losing my mind.
