Motherboard ASRock EPYC 3000 ITX boards listed now

[vluft]

ASRock has listed a pair of EPYC 3000 mini-itx boards on their site; one with a 3251 and one with a 3101. They look otherwise identical; up to 6 SATA drives (2 on board, 4 via OCUlink), 2x10G lan (using intel x550 parts, not the chipset builtins), 1 M2, and 4 DIMM slots (U/R/LR supported). Like the Supermicro EPYC boards, they support direct 12v DC in; otherwise it's 2x10G vs 4x1G and 2 additional potential SATA drives on here.

Haven't found prices listed anywhere as of yet, though I suspect they'd be inline with the supermicro boards.

Personally I might see how many 2.5" SSDs I can physically cram into a Lazer3D HT5 for a NAS/homeserver build.

Interesting little tidbit: their 2019 catalog also says they have models with 3xOCuLink for a total of 14 SATA ports; but not with the 31x1/32x1 processors, so it's likely they have some with 33x1/34x1 versions planned.

What an amazing board, I know what I will put in my NAS when I upgrade from the 1150 Xeon
