B75 BTC motherboard is my favourite pick for mining, it supports up to 8 PCie slots, it's also cheaper too I got mine for 50$ from China and it took 3 weeks to get shipped into my country.
A new version for 12 video cards has already appeared
B75 ETH Mining Motherboard 12 PCIE to USB Adapter LGA1155 MSATA Support 2XDDR3 RAM B75 USB BTC Miner Motherboard

LGA1155 processor and DDR 3 memory are very cheap. An ideal option and it is not much more expensive than a motherboard for 8 video cards

HM! Crypto mining isn't fun like you said if you haven't tried it before, you said you are a newbie so I'm suggesting you have zero idea about the whole thing, I've seen many saying same thing until they later found out it's not for them, find motherboards specifically for mining on any stores online but make sure you start with one GPU first, use this to find your real taste in mining, maybe you will end up liking or hating it that's why I suggest not to go too deep now.
That's right, especially with PoS on the horizon. Maybe the OP should wait for a few months for a GPU price crash, then build a rig cheaply.

As for mining motherboards, I mostly stay away from them. I've had bad experiences with low component quality, not supporting as many PCIe slots as were advertised, and other issues. Just buy a regular $120-$150 Intel gaming MOBO + a Celeron with integrated graphics. Buy a 4-in-1 USB PCIe adapter or two, as well as 2 M.2 riser cards. You can easily connect 9 or 12 video cards. Plus, the resale value could be higher if mining ever crashed. I also don't like the Octominer-style motherboards which have x16 PCIe slots built in. Too much power flows through that board; I like separating the video card current from the MOBO current.

Good day everyone I'm new to mining and I want to know more about  this fun looking hobby, do you have any recommendation of a mobo that supports 8+ GPUs? I'm thinking of any that works like plug and play no hassle, thank you.
Most mining motherboards work without problems. You need to look at the prices in your stores, then look at the reviews and choose one of the options.

Go to Amazon and search for any mining motherboards the number is unlimited, there are different type of brands available and if you want something cheaper go for china motherboards.

The ASUS B250 is probably the most popular motherboard for mining crypto, this MOBO has 19x pcie slots available but costly, Biostar TB250 is a good one too with 12x pcie slots available, also Asrock H110 Pro BTC is very good too it comes with 13x pcie slots. You can find these motherboards on Amazon and other.

Most popular ah ok and you know this why? I don´t think that this is the most popular. Can you please stop writing such thinks?
