Everything works, The IPMI web interface is fast and easy.
It's a real beast! Works with my AMD Threadripper Pro 5975WX (also from Newegg) veeeeeery well. Note: - You have to upgrade BIOS to 2.a, otherwise can not boot. - It's cheaper than ASUS WRX80E-SAGE Pro, and I have to say, BETTER! - Too difficult to use ASUS WRX80E-SAGE Pro, which needs a BIOS updating too. However, I couldn't get ASUS BIOS Flash button & IPMI BIOS Flashing work. To verify these, I wasted money on SAGE MB, another 3955WX CPU and 8 x Crucial 16GB RAMs which are listed by ASUS. Good luck!
See the review by Brian W. I had the same problem. Memory not recognized. Support said it is if you are using Cascade Lake processor, you need current (2.10 for me) BIOS. How to update bios is a bit unclear when board will not POST. You turn power supply on but do not actually turn the board/system on so that the power is being supplied to the BMC/IPMI/board but the system is not trying to boot. Connect the board to your network/router using the IPMI LAN port above the USB ports. Use another laptop/system on your network to login to your router to determine what IP address was assigned to the motherboard IPMI port. Once you have that IP address, just point a browser (ASRockRack support recommends chrome) to that IP (https:\\ip) and login using the default of admin/admin. Then proceed to maintenance to flash the bios with the unzipped bios file you can download from the ASRockRack support site for this board. Once this is finished, the system booted as expected. ASRockRack support was timely and excellent technically, so email them for help as needed. They saved me from asking Newegg for an RMA.
If you're looking for a MB to base your new workstation on, look no further. This motherboard is more fully-featured than your typical server motherboard that I've built workstations on in the past. It has good onboard audio and Intel HD video (when used with the proper CPU with integrated video).
