Im looking into building a rendering storage server nas. Ive been looking around and there hasnt been any motherbpards that i could find that has a quad socket amd or intel and has more than 3 pcie slots. Any suggestions for a motherboard that has 4 sockets and 4 or more pcie slots?

You'd need a case that could fit two mobos. You can't interconnect two boards at the same time.

 

Options include the Phanteks Enthoo mini XL and Lian LI PC-D666. The former supports uATX and mITX, the latter does uATX and uATX/ATX/EATX.

 

Edit: Apparently OP completely rewrote his story. Disregard my post.

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro

Why do you want to do this? Also, speaking from extensive MOBO, PCI, and GPU research I've been doing recently, a motherboard with that many PCI slots + a CPU with that many CPU lanes would be extremely expensive.

 

Please quote me here and let me know what you're trying to do; I probably have an idea or two.

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

You are probably going to need to get a rack server. Many of them have four CPU's and a riser card with many PCIe slots.

Then why are you also looking for 'any board with 4 sockets' and AMD ones? 

 

Also there's a reason these cpus are cheap af and that is, that the motherboards are expensive as fuck and also have no availability. 

 

This is not worth it at all unless you are very serious about it.

The AMD Optertons have horrible IPC! Use Xeons instead!

Here we go: 

https://www.ebay.com/p/Dell-Y4CNC-Server-Motherboard-for-POWEREDGE-R920-Quad-Socket-Lga2011/1862609066?iid=152694728573&_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D48754%26meid%3D68eda3d180094e0ca453aa71a171bb29%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D142518495402&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

 

I have no idea if you can put this in any rack or if you need to buy a full Dell Poweredge R290.
