4x Monitors Connected to iGPU on z490?

I'm hoping to offload all of my auxiliary monitors onto the onboard video. For example, z490 Vision D has one HDMI, one Displayport, and two USB C. I can't connect four monitors to the iGPU, right? I am not seeing anything in the manual or online except for the limitation of z490 chipset which obviously means that isn't possible? Regarding the two Thunderbolt 3, can I connect any USB C to HDMI adapter? In the manual, they only mentioned DisplayPort video output, but a USB C HDMI adapter would be fine?

The i-gpu can only drive 3 monitors sadly.

I mean you can run DP MST which iirc should work, assuming your monitor and graphics source supports it and assuming you've got a DP MST.

Ummm... I haven't tried one of these before. I might look into this. Thank you
