windows 10 can run on all of them but I usually wind up installing vmware esx or kvm or openstack. they are mainly designed for servers with the bmc chips built in. the romed8 actually has a type c usb which is fairly unique for server boards. they all support pcie gen 4 which is necessary...

I have the romed6 and romed8 and the mini itx 570 server mb if you have any questions.

should have my latest build finished tomorrow. based on the following mb (supermicro h12ssw-iN) with a 64c amd epyc 7742 and a dual port 200GE mellanox nic: oddball mb size but will be used in a custom sff chassis for 7x24 use. Pictured next to an s4m for comparison.

do you have a link for the 32GB 3600 sodimms? I am evaluating this board for a new project and trying to optimize the specs.

I have built a few sff PCs using the dynatrons and noctua directly on top blowing down. I have done this with a 28 core Xeon platinum and both 7452 and 7742 epyc Rome CPUs. It actually does a good job of keeping the thermals under control with a low total height. I used the noctua a12x25 and...

Does anyone know of a good source for copper parts for a custom case build? I am looking for things like screws, power button, etc to accent a build that is primarily carbon fiber. thanks for any pointers, jp

removed the nic for some other testing but you should be able to get an idea of the internal layout. Once again, all the credit goes to the very creative talent of Josh from NFC! raptor extreme internal

The cpu that I am currently using is a 165W TDP 8176. That is definitely pushing it in this modified s4m case. This device has a very specific use case and doesn't require any discreet gpu. I have tried several different versions of the fw including custom versions from the asrockrack folks...

to kick it up a notch, the next project is a 64c (epyc rome not TR) pcie 4.0 beast in a relatively sff. it is based on a proprietary mb from supermicro that I plan on having another custom build from Josh. The mb is appox. the size of the s4m so it will be a real challange to fit into that ff...

I tried an es but wouldn't post. Needed at least a qs to boot. updated pic of a 28c in a mini-itx seen below: all credit for case design goes to Josh!

worked with asrock rack folks directly as we are prototyping a new device and needed to validate a few metrics.

My latest project is using this mb. xeon 8176 (q spec as es versions did not work). 2 x 1TB 970 evo plus. mellanox connectx-5 (2x100Gbps) which uses x16 on the pci bus. if both ports are running at line rate, the pci bus becomes a bottleneck. I have other nics that will swap when needed...

still trying to figure out if my flex-atx mb (9x7.5) will fit into this case. I don't need any room for a discreet gpu or large psu and was hoping that the universal brackets would accommodate the larger mb. thanks for any confirmation. jp

does anyone know if i only need the 24pin, can i just use a "standard" 24pin male-male with this psu? thanks, jp

I went through your build thread and am very impressed. Part of the issue that I am having with my 1U AIO setup is the 90 degree bend that is needed at a few points to get this to fit better. Can you give me some details on the alphacool setup including which reservoir you used and if any of...
