Any recommendations on the board that can do 5x gen4@16x?

One I could find is supermicro H12SSL-I-O but i thought I'll ask if there are other options? Could be either intel/amd. Thank you in advance.
 
What do you want 5 GPUs for?

To run 5 GPUs at the same time, needing 5x16 = 80 PCIe lanes, you can only use a workstation or server motherboard + CPU, and some of those get very expensive. What's your budget?

What graphics cards are you thinking of using? You'll be hard pushed to find a board that can accommodate five dual-slot cards, I think.
