Hello.
First time poster. Patrick graciously replied to an email and pointed me here. Glad to find this place!
I wanted to build a powerful box to run Server 2012 and Hypervisor. Being impatient I rushed buying everything before wrapping my head around the technical details.
I bought a Tyan S8326WGM3NR-IL G34 board and have dual Opteron 6272's. I installed Server 2012 with no issues, and went to install the chipset drivers when I realized Tyan only supports 2008 R2 for this board. (I can hear the snickering).
2012 appears to be running without me having installed a single driver. There are issues (which I will address later), but I was able to successfully run a Prime95 blended test for 24 hours.
My fear is that the system is running seriously gimped. I started looking at some newer G34 boards like the Supermicro H8DG6-F series. I noticed that none of them had chipset drivers for download for either Server 2008 R2 or 2012.
Are all of the newer chipset drivers for AMD/Intel being distributed automatically in 2008 R2 and greater?
