- 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.






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.
