All these motherboards have at least 6 16x PCIE 3.0 connectors. https://gyazo.com/453c4b350c27b7aa52f2e59e4692bfc6

Currency is in SEK (10sek = 1€) so dont panic about the price.

@HydraGaming That's a really good list.

 

OP, @NickelDern, by 6, 7 or 8 16x slots do you mean physical or electrical? Also, what is the usecase of this situation? I haven't heard of any boards that have more than 4 electrical 16x slots. However, if you get a motherboard such as the ASRock X99 WS-E/10G you get one 16x electrical, and six 8x electrical slots (but 16x physical, meaning you can put full size cards in, but they will only run at half speed. This is not an issue with graphics cards, but can be for some purposes, again, we should know your purposes). There is an ASUS dual 2011-3 board that is a similar story with the PCIe layout, but I am not certain.

By extrapolating from what you said "for gamers", why would you need more than 4 or 5 at the most? I mean, quad SLI/XFire, plus a high-end pcie ssd or raid card or something similar, which only needs 8 lanes max and normally 4, so that is 4 16x slots and 1 8x slot, and pleanty of high end consumer motherboards do that

Please respond with your usecase, I am genuinely interested.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me
