6 PCI-e Gen 4 slots that are always x16/x16 (The 7th may have fewer or be disabled entirely depending on how you configure other options) Technical support was excellent. William replied quickly and kept replying quickly until my issue was resolved. IPMI for remote administration. 2 x 10 gigabit ethernet ports may potentially free up a PCIe slot depending on your needs. Supports "Above 4G Decoding". This feature might be common now, but its absence will prevent motherboards from being able to use some Data Center GPUs.

-reasonable cost -two m.2 slots -form factor -IPMI

Two pcie x16 slots with ryzen comparibokity

With everything going for it, this board is awesome. I paired it with 128GB of ECC DDR4 RAM, a Ryzen 9 3950x, a 1TB NVMe and 2x 2TB SSDs for a monster homelab all-flash vSAN ESXi. Running vanilla 7.0 ESXi with vcenter 7.0 I have no problem loading it. Rounding up my build is a Fractal Design Core 500 Black case, a 1000W PSU and a Corsair Hydro Series H80i. IPMI is HTML5 based, very responsive and useful. There is a video card built in so you can run any Ryzen without having to install an external card. The board comes with one oculink to 4 sata splitter which can be configured as a SATA or PCIe handoff.

The only server motherboard that allows you to use a consumer grade Zen 4 CPU. For workload that is not memory bound, a 16-core Ryzen 7950X will outrun any 16-core EPYC, at half the price or less.

- I/O for days, there is so so much I/O for something this size! 6x slimsas 8x gen 4!!!!!! WuT! -Asrock Rack worked a pcb engineering miracle! -Seems really well made and all the features of a full size server -Perfect board for the ultimate home server built in a boutique sff. -A great option for the cheap oem 32 core 7d12 if you want to put this in something small the 7d12's lower power is easy to keep cool, also the 7d12 is a 4 memory channel chip so you are not wasting any slots! -Got on sale for $379 insane deal.

VGA out and 10Gbit NICs were worth the upgrade to the NT edition.


Everything works, The IPMI web interface is fast and easy.


I gave this product full stars because is worked as advertised without issue successfully from day one for the last ninety days plus. This is after two failed attempts using the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE and a six month hiatus. For details, see my Total Disaster Newegg review for that ASUS motherboard. Other than solid quality and solid reliability, it is difficult for me to review this Gigabyte board. The reason is that the board is most definitely designed to be a server motherboard. I configured it into a workstation motherboard.





Ipmi feature allowed effortless bios update even without a cpu or ram. Also enabled full setup without a screen, all it need was Lan and power. Plenty of pcie lanes for small businesses or home lab
