Most AM4 boards have at most 7 pcie slots (5 actual pcie slots + 2 M.2 OR 6 actual pcie slots + 1 M.2).
But, I've found a couple that have 8. The ASRock Fatal1ty X370 GAMING X and the MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon both have 6 pcie + 2 M.2.
The MSI board says, "PCI_E6 slot will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe SSD in M2_2 slot", so not all pcie and M.2 slots can be filled on it.
The ASRock has some "up to ...." phrases that make me think it might also be handicapped.
Does the ASRock have the same handicap? If so, is there any AM4 motherboard that has 8 pcie slots that can be used simultaneously?
