is there any Z170 mobo under $200
with 4 x slot PCIe x16 3.0, M.2, USB 3.1 A/C and support SLI (which automatically means support Crossfire)

thank you for the help

Doesn't exist. LGA 1151 only has 16 PCIE lanes available to the CPU.
in order to get quad SLI support you'd need at least 32 PCI E lanes on the CPU.

You would need to go with a 2011-V3 build in order to achieve this.

Note that the 20 lanes offered on the Z170 are already accounted for in I/O, and are not used for the actual PCIE slots on the motherboard.

Yes, because each graphics card will need 8 lanes.
8+8+8+8 is 32 lanes needed for quad crossfire.

I can't provide any advice on a 2011-v3 build, they are outrageously expensive and i'm just not that familiar with them. i do know that the 6700k isn't compatible with it though, you'd need a different CPU.

What makes you want to do quad SLI? Why not just use a single GTX 1080, or even just two? Two GPUs in SLI would work great for 1151 builds.

Mate if you are really going to quad-SLI so why you mind about the motherboard price?
This will be a crazy expensive build anyway. Get the best mobo/psu you could find.

PS: check out the "Faster Benchmarker" 3-way GTX1080 benchmark on youtube. Crazy performance mate :D

1st,, i was wondering what the reason they(mobo factory) made 4 to 5 slot PCIe x16,, but the mobo juz support to use 2-3 way of SLI/CF.. ?????? (confused)

2nd, ive been planning (for about 1 month(but still confused)) to build a multi-user CPU with minimum of 4 users (with 1 user 1 VGA system).. instead of using betwin or plugableusb/userf

3rd, dont worry about the PSU mate :), juz the mobo that drives me crazy

4th, if no one comes to play, i can CF or SLI them n play by myself with 4K setting (maybe)

:D
