I'm on the hunt for a motherboard that features at least two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots where I can bifurcate so both run at x8, and I also need a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot. I've encountered difficulties finding a board with a PCIe 2.0 x4; most only come with a x1. The most reasonably priced option I've spotted so far is the Asus Pro WS W680 ACE. I'd prefer to go with AMD for this build, but if there aren't any suitable options, I might switch to Intel. Ideally, I'd like a micro-ATX board, but that's not a strict requirement. Since this might affect M.2 usage, having two M.2 slots would be a bonus, but I can manage with just one.

You might want to check out the X570S boards. The Aorus Master is definitely a solid choice. It should meet your requirements!
Thanks! I found that the ROG Crosshair VII Dark Hero might work as well. I just need to confirm the documentation to be sure.
