Good Hyper-V server board

Reviewed By: Paco on 10/7/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 32GB DDR2 FBDIMM, SATA RAID and Dual quad core support. Having a PCIe x16 slot allowed us to use a high-end video card in the system as well.

The Intel Deployment CD that comes with the motherboard makes updating the BIOS a breeze.

Cons: Have to update the BIOS to use it with the Harpertown 5400-series processors and you can't update the BIOS with a Harpertown in it. Luckily we had a Xeon 5150 that we were able to borrow from another server to use to update the BIOS.

Only one PCIe x16 slot, no x8 slots.

The CPU power plug location interferes with the installation of full-length cards in the upper PCIe x4 slot.

Other Thoughts: We are using the Intel S5000PSLSAS boards in the servers that need two PCIe x8 cards or were we had to put two full-length PCIe x4 cards in.

We use this board in our Hyper-V servers (Dual Harpertown E5430's, 32GB DDR2 FB-DIMMs, WD 300GB Velociraptors in RAID0) and it performs flawlessly. Highly recommend this board to those looking to build a highend workstation or an excellent 'whitebox' server

Great workstation board

Reviewed By: Dale on 7/21/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Dual quad-core Xeon support. 16-bit PCI-E. 8 FB-DDR2 slots.

Cons: Newegg has been out of stock for a long time so I had to pay a lot more from another seller named for some tropical jungle.

Not sure if it is the fault of the board or of the aftermarket Xeon CPU coolers I bought but the capacitors around the CPU sockets prevented me from using the coolers. But stock Xeon coolers are far better than the stock P4 coolers and you really don't need the aftermarket ones.

I'm not a gamer so the single 16-bit PCI-e is good for me. The latest version of the Supermicro workstation board (X7DAE+) has two 16-bit PCI-e slots and 7.1 sound while this Intel board only has stereo sound.

There is no floppy controller or firewire controller.

Other Thoughts: I bought this to build a home server. I run as many as 16 virtual PCs and servers at a time using VMWare Virtual Server on Vista Ultimate X64 and this thing doesn't even break a sweat.

I got a pretty quiet case and pretty quiet fans but the CPU fans are loud. Afterall, it is server processors intended for a server room. So I moved this to the pantry on the other side of the wall from me and punched through extension cables to bring everything to my desk - even a USB/Firewire DVD burner so it's dead quiet now.
