Looking for a motherboard with 4 PCI-Es

[vctr1337]

Gday,
im looking for a motherboard for my altcoin mining rig, i have 4 gpus so i need 4 PCI-E slots and i found this one - ASRock B150M PRO4, anyway, the problem is that two of these are x16 and the other two are x1, im kinda sceptic about that since i need to get the maximum performance out of my gpus and i dont know if the x1 slots are the right thing for me, the socket is fine since im using an intel celeron g3900, BUT the ram im using is DDR3 so its not compatible with this motherboard.

You'll almost certainly need to be willing to invest in DDR4 to find MB with 4 X16 PCI-e slots.

so your looking for a FCLGA1151 with PCIE 4x16? 4x8? motherboard that uses DDR4 ? and run off the Celeron G3900 CPu then?

what video cards are you running ? some do SLI x4 some do crossfire x4

Here is the list of motherboards with 4 PCI-E slots that support ddr3 ram

And none of those support celeron g3900.

This would be more appropriate list (but all are DDR4 boards):

I didn't see processor was also mentioned:lol:

I scrapped the idea of running 4 gpus and went with 3 instead, im using HD7950s, this board (ASRock Z170 Pro4/D3) suits my needs, it has a 1151 socket, ddr3, 5 PCI-E slots (two x16 and three x1, my question is, how much slower are gpus running in the x1 slots compared to the ones running in the x16 slots?

i wont use any of these sli nor crossfire, in mining you dont really need the coordination

This board would be better for 3 graphics cards. It supports PCIE 8x/8x/4x operation.
