All this on an ATX 12x9.6" form factor.
Pros: Great specs at a decent price
Cons: Couldn't get the BMC to initialize when I use more than 6 memory dimms
Overall Review: I got the board and set everything up: Epyc 7402p 8 x 16GB 3200 DDR memory Model CT16G4RFD832A CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 On boot the BMC would not initialize which cause all of the sensor reading to not show up in the bios, so the CPU fan would not run. Played around a bit and verified all my memory sticks were working. I could get the BMC to initialize when I used 6 or less memory sticks. When the BMC initialized then I would get sensor readings and the CPU cooler fans would run. Since it was within Newegg's return time period, I sent the board back. Waiting for it to come back in stock to order again. Hopefully second one works!
