I have the heat sink that came with my hpe cpu kit unused in box. I went active cooling.

Thank you for posting. I finally got around to doing a Test of my new Board & CPU PRE-Build. I went ahead and updated the bios and I can confirm Posting with the new bios. I will confirm everything is working as expected when I swap this mobo and cpu into my build later.

My CPU Arrived. Unfortunately, I won't have time to install it and get things going for a week. That makes me sad.

Looking at the top retailers, there are certain high demand/value chips that are driving up prices while stock of over chips seems readily available. The single socket only variety in particular are very popular.

Interesting. So if you were in my position.. You would look to buy an entire server instead of the components? Considering that for a second. Inventory 16 Hard disks (4x10TB, 2x8TB, 2x6TB, 7x3TB, 1x2TB) - I could consolidate to less drives, but I'd want to maintain capacity. Current...

Thank you for the feedback. Do you have a MOBO favorite right now for 7002 capable boards?

I'm currently in the process of replacing a E5 2620 V4 that was used primarily for an unraid server. VM usage today is minimal, but I'd like to keep that avenue open to me in the future. The server mostly serves up media and other MISC Dockers. My motherboard failed, so I'm using this as...
