That looks pretty good! I'll take a closer look tonight.

 

Thanks!

Hi Ravi,

Suggestions?

 

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

- 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.
