Works well with RDIMM memory and an Epyc 9416 CPU that I had laying around.

- below $350 this is a great option to pack huge amount of power into a small box - can serve 48 or 64 core EPYC - slimSAS connectors allow you to add extra devices (e.g. additional drives, I actually use an EDSFF SSD with adapters) - fits e.g. 2U Dynatron coolers but also chunky ones like the ID-Cooling SE-207-TRX

IPMI makes setup, monitoring etc super easy Small size board means it will fit a lot of cases Fan defaults are quiet.






IMPI\BMC, serial console accessible through IPMI, PCIE, high memory bandwidth


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.





Easy to set up.
