Pros: - excellent customer support: I contacted them for the RAM issue and for the NVMe M.2 issue, I got very prompt and excellent tech support that resolved both issues. - seems to be a very solid board, lots of great features, plenty of PCIe slots, 8 channel RAM for up to 2TB RAM if you ever need that much... - 2 10G Ethernet is nice. - wanted a professional grade build with some horsepower that lasts for the next 10 years.

Cons: - did not recognize 8x8G Nemix DDR4 3200 ECC 1.2V. Not sure if this is the boards fault or the RAM's firmware fault. Turned out, the RAM works, it's just not displayed in the BIOS. - default jumper setting does not enable NVMe M.2 slots - The board manual could be better, even with an EE degree there is some guessing involved. - board is expensive - need to upgrade to 10G Ethernet on my storage server to utilize the 10G ports. okay, I guess that's more of a pro than a con...

Overall Review: So far seems to be a great board. After more than 10 years I finally upgraded from an AMD FX-8350 to an EPYC 7302P (16c, 32t); wanted to have a professional grade Workstation for AI software development. 64GB ECC RAM, 970 EVO Plus 1T NVMe.M.2, more to come for the PCIe slots... The main issue I ran into: I thought for over a day that the RAM I ordered was incompatible with the board, because the board didn't show any RAM in the BIOS. I installed first all 8 modules, then only one, then 2 , to see if I could get anything to work. Nope. nothing. I finally thought I'll see what happens if I try to install Linux from a USB stick. And sure enough, that worked without a glitch and Linux showed all the installed memory. Not sure if this is caused by the RAM's firmware or the board's BIOS. The second issue I had is getting my NVMe M.2 to work. Was not recognized by the board either. Got very prompt tech support, changed one jumper position and I'm happy since :-)

Pros: advertising

Cons: first board DOA (used memory, power supply, etc from a working system)=>motherboard defect RMA second board DOA as well, no BIOS beep, no vga output, nothing

Pros: needed to drive two 4k monitors under Linux; works great. Installed proprietary nvidia driver from their website. (using two Seiko 37" on one GTX750)

Cons: none

Comments: absolutely quite! Doesn't get to hot

Comments: I like: + each drive can be switched on/off individually + door machanics + overheating alarm I don't like: - no activity LEDs - fan is very noisy
