Try looking for AM3/AM3+ "combo" motherboards instead of "pure" AM3 ones - but even THERE options are getting very slim as most of the folks that used to make those motherboards no longer do so. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145022 will get you to 5 slots and is low-cost in-stock right now - I've got one of those running a mix of 1070ti 1070 and 1080 cards in a 5-card riser rig right now.

For an AMD rig, a FM2 motherboard can also work well in some cases - but not if you want to use the "blockchain" drivers that don't support the iGPU on any AMD A-series, and THOSE motherboards are also getting into short supply. |
