The ASRock Rack GENOAD8QM3-2T/BCM is a single-socket SP5 CEB server motherboard for AMD EPYC 9004 and 9005 processors, with 8 DDR5 RDIMM slots, PCIe 5.0 expansion and dual 10GbE. It suits server builders who need high-throughput compute, memory and networking; EPYC 9005 support requires a BIOS update.
Recommended For
- NVMe storage-server builders who need to connect multiple high-speed drives and SATA storage through the board’s MCIO, M.2, and SATA options.
- Web-hosting operators building a single-socket EPYC server who want dual 10GbE networking and out-of-band IPMI management.
- Organizations building general-purpose server or virtualization infrastructure around one AMD EPYC processor, registered DDR5 memory, and remote hardware management.
- Server integrators who need a CEB-sized SP5 platform with an OCP NIC 3.0 slot and PCIe 5.0 expansion for network or storage configurations.
