    Motherboard Supermicro Embedded AMD EPYC motherboards

    Well, ... Server / Rack boards in general are not designed for overclocking :) And frankly, with the Ryzen 2 / 3 and the dynamic boosting it does, in general you gain little from overclocking because it technically over clocks itself ( PPT ). A other board to talk about doing a form of IPMI...

    asrock x470d4u is the only available IPMI solution for the AM4 platform ( that i know ). About 210 Euro in Europe. But its mATX ...

    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    Just a few ideas: VRM overheating? The SOC getting less power, where it start to micro throttle? But then i expected to see more clear dips on the A300. The difference between the SODIMM and normal DIMMs may be the cause. All it takes is a difference of a few % to hurt a precise benchmark run...

    Motherboard AM4 Thin ITX motherboards, They do exist!

    Anybody try these boards with a normal Ryzen ( lets say 1600, 1700 or 2600 ) series CPU? Do they have ECC support?

    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    No ... I asked Asrock in the Netherlands and they only sell those board directly from Asia... But you need to buy them in a lot of 300 @ 90$ per piece. So unless one has a bit of "spare change" ( like 27000 dollars + tax + transportation ), your not able to get them individually. If you take...

    Motherboard Group Buy/Crowdfunded Modded BIOS for the Asrock A300m (Deskmini A300)

    In Germany its still a bit rare but i see it more and more in the big PC stores... Mindfactory ... € 142,02, with a stock > 5 Prices have gone done a bit compared to introduction where some sellers asked 155+ ( and some still do ).

    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    If its withing a reasonable price and adds support for the Ryzon 1000/2000 series plus ECC, then i am also interested.

    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    Its 50% more CPU power in the 65W power envelop. Or if you go with a AMD 1700 ( non-x ... 65W ), you are running a 8 core... Those A300's, if they also added supported for ECC ( no reason not too, its just bios settings ), you have yourself a darn powerful mini server. A GPU is nothing but a {...

    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    Anybody try the A300 with a Ryzen 1000/2000 series CPU? This can make a lovely little 6/8 core ( AMD 1700, 2600 are 65W ) Nas/VM station. A shame that they do not sell the MB separately. You can only order the MB directly from Asia, in 300 lots... The problem is, that the price was 90 dollar...

    Motherboard Supermicro Embedded AMD EPYC motherboards

    Unfortunately the boards seem impossible to buy ( up to now ). > The active cooling version costs about $760, much higher than a typical Ryzen build. Yes, but with a Ryzon ECC build, you need to take in account that Unbuffered ECC memory is about +-50% more expensive then normal memory. Where...

    Other [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini 310 - NUC Killer?

    The J5005 NUC is actually a better comparison for the low end, instead of the 7100u. NUC7PJYH = 172 dollars (newegg). Little bit slower single core, faster multi core performance. Also a bit surprised there is still no AMD Deskmini released. Been waiting for that for ages. AMD Deskmini + AMD...
