Motherboard Recommendation

Before I start just want you to know that I have found some boards but I want to see what everyone recommends.

 

I'm looking for a motherboard that supports 4 PCIe 3.0 video cards at 16x each at the same time.

I will be using 10 monitors at 1080p and 4 video cards in SLI sets of 2.

So 2 EVGA 1080's in SLI and 2 EVGA 760's in SLI.

 

For those of you that think I'm crazy and think it wont work you are sadly wrong.

I have been running dual, tri, and quad video cards in my computers sense before the AGP video card slot came out. (e.g. refer to the image below.)

As long as all the cards are the same chip manufacture (e.g. AMD, ATI, NVIDIA) it is almost 100% guaranteed to work.

Not at X16 for all 4 of them X399 has a max of 48 PCIE lanes on their flagship 4k cpu

Threadripper has 64 PCIE lanes and can handle that with room to spare

Are you confused with X299? Threadripper (x399) has 64 PCIE lanes. 

 

Asus ROG Zenith or Asrock X399 Prof are the boards I'm personally looking at.  (can't buy, sold out :( )
