There are quite a few, but most are in short supply or completely out of stock as AM3 or even AM3+ platform is old and outdated now.

 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.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

I have two of those -- haven't given me any problems since I got them in March.

Also built a miner for a friend with one & his is also solid.

My AM3/AM3+ "go to" board for a long time was the ASRock 970 Extreme4 - which is similar to that Gigabyte board - but those are almost impossible to find and massively GOUGE priced when you can find them any more.

 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.
