   Great Server Board – Works well with Proxmox and XCP-NG, Linux and Windows Server 2022
   This a great board for what it offers in its form factor. Have been running two of these units now for over eight (8) months in my home labs two Proxmox nodes and have not had a single issue with either of them. Plenty of PCIe slots and for the most part good spacing on them. M.2 place is not the best but in a case with proper airflow, it will not be a problem. The 2x Intergrated SAS connectors instead of SATA ports as I can just connect it right to my drive backplane and the two Oculink ports is a nice plus for U.x/NVMe Drives. BMC is your typical ASPEED management and gets the job done with no complaints.
   I have tested XCP-NG, Debian 12, Manjaro and Ubuntu 24.04 on these boards and found now issues. Also tested server 2022 and it worked fine as well. (NOTE – This is a board designed for System integrators and Windows Server drivers will not be available from AsrockRack and will need to be sourced elsewhere).
   Specs in both nodes are AMD Epyc 7443p 24/48, 512GB 3200 RDIMMs, 8×1.92GB Crucial 5400 Pro, 6x 8TB WD RED Pro, and 1xNvidia A2000 in a 45homelab case with Noctura case fans for whisper quite operation. Each system at idle load bounces around 296-309W.
   Also, for the reviewer that was complaining about no support for Windows 10. This is a server board and was in no way ever designed to support any Windows desktop/workstation OS. Please do your research before purchasing any item like this to make sure it will work for what you want to use it for. AsrockRack makes Workstations class Epyc boards which are designed to support Windows Desktop class OS.

   Very expensive with zero support and NO DRIVERS – Never buy from ASRock
   Let me start by saying I will never buy from ASRock ever again. Bought this very expensive board and they provide very poor support and ABSOLUTELY NO DRIVERS. NONE. Installed Windows 10 Pro because I plan to run it as a Hyper-V host with GPU partitioning and it shows something like 12 unknown devices in device manager. With like I said no downloads available from ASRock. This is going to be a nightmare which should absolutely not be the case given the cost. Terrible company.

   a real headache
   The mother board is not recommended, it is full bug, Dr debug “00” code and not compatible with the peripherals (memory and CPU), I have spent more than $2500 and I couldn’t get it to work, don’t waste your money.
   I tried it with another brand of memory and it doesn’t work.
   The processor I am using “AMD EPYC ROME 48-CORE 7642” is listed in the manual as compatible.
   only IPMI works, but there is no information about components,
   I have been dealing with this for several days, but I don’t really know what it is, if I don’t get a solution I will ask for a refund.

   NVME placement could be better
   great MB with lots of connectivity options. no problems on setup and config.
   Only issue i have so far is M.2 slots are right at the end of 4 PCIE slots so they are can not have a heatsink or be easily removed without removing the PCIE cards covering it.

   7 PCIe 16x gen 4 slots!
   The Threadrippers can’t do that, at least my 3960X can’t support that and I want it for an AI rig using 7 GPUs!
