A cheap motherboard with lots of PCIe?

Do you guys know a motherboard with lots of PCIe lanes? It has to be a 1150 socket for Intel

 

I does not matter the bandwith. 1x is 100% fine. (Crypto Mining)

For, Intel, its all in the CPU, sadly.  Any motherboard with enough slots would work.  What CPU were you thinking of, and how many PCI-e lanes do you need?

Ofcourse I know dude. But I don't care about bandwidth. Its for cryptocurrency mining

Just bear in mind that if you're going for PCIe 3.0, Haswell consumer chips only support 16 lanes off the onboard controller, and I don't think you can get additional PCIe 3.0 lanes unless it's through a PLX chip, which is not really adding discrete lanes.

But a board can theoratically have as many as 7x16 if you have 7 full size PCIe slots. :P

I need atleast 4 16x or as much 1x as possible

If it's 3.0. 2.0 x4 is controlled by the chipset, aka the PCH.

One immediate issue that I see is the x1 slots are not open on the right side, which would make it impossible to install a card with a PCIe x4 or x16 interface, unless the user wants to mod the slots.

If it is for crypto mining they often use x1 to x16 flexible risers to get around that.
