Hi,
I used to have a SuperMicro server board and, since I no longer require BMC, I've replaced it with an ASUS B350 Prime board about 2 years ago.
I have a Ryzen 2600, a separate 2 port GbE card, and it has everything else you have.
Outfitted like this, it's less than just a server board. I have 3400G processor (you could go even lower to the 2xxx series for less expense.
It's much cheaper to have Ryzen, non-ECC memory, desktop motherboard, etc. than just buying a server class motherboard.
Server class will be 2-4x more.
Paul

Hi all,
For a few years, I've known that my media server's motherboard[1] was potentially vulnerable to a bricking issue[2]. It looks like that day has come. :-/
Or it might just be "normal" old-age, since I've had the board for ~4.5 years.
Either way, I find myself in need of a new motherboard. My requirements are:
- 2C/4T amd64 (4C/8T preferred)
- 2x DDR4 slots (4x preferred)
- 6x SATA ports (8x preferred)
- 2x 1GbE NICs
- 1x 80mm M.2 slot (2x preferred, 110mm preferred)
- 1x PCIe x8 slot (2x preferred)
- BMC w/ dedicated NIC
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ravi (rpokala@)

I moved away from Intel because of there design flaws.
I just built an AMD server box from desktop parts (plus a 3U rack case), which has all you are asking for:
- motherboard Asrock Rack X470D4U
https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U#Specifications <https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U#Specifications>;
- CPU Ryzen, like Ryzen 7 3700X or smaller
The idle power consumption is about 50 Watts.
Matisse Ridge CPU should support ECC RAM.
As compared to supermicro’s, the IPMI works flawless and shows a clear design.
