Yes, I am using a Xeon E-2146G with the UHD P630 enabled. The BIOS setting for iGPU needs to be "Enabled" instead of Auto. IPMI KVM continues to work (I am using Ubuntu 20.04). I am also using Intel GVT-g to create a virtual GPU from the Intel graphics to pass through to a VM so it can also use...

CrystalDiskInfo, SMART data from the disks (power on hours, head parks, max temperature etc.) Would love 8 but I'm sure shipping to AU would kill it.

Running which OS? If you want to use hardware accelerated video decoding and encoding in Plex under Linux you're limited to Intel GPUs. There is support for nVidia encoding (not decoding) if you have a video card, but then you're using the CPU to decode the video.

Sure... It's in a NSC-800 NAS case with Seasonic SS300-M1U PSU. Xeon E-2146G Asrock E3C246D2I 32GB Crucial DDR4 Unbuffered ECC (2 x 16GB) Lexar NM520 512GB 2242 M.2 NVMe SSD 8 x WD 8TB drives (shucked from My Book externals), 4 connected with a Supermicro OCuLink to 4xSATA cable, the other 4...

Asrock sent me a beta UEFI (1.41), which has allowed the NVMe SSD to be detected! Screenshot of 8 SATA drives with the PCIe M.2 SSD and the bifurcation options on the PCIe x16 slot.

I can confirm the UEFI has x16, x8/x8 and x8/x4/x4 options. Unfortunately the PCIe M.2 SSD I have isn't detected (nor is a 2280 SATA M.2 I have), so have asked Asrock if there are any jumpers or settings I may have missed before organising a RMA. The PCIe SSD detects fine in a NUC so I'm...

I should be able to confirm for you this weekend - my RAM and E-2146G should be arriving in the next couple of days.

Sorry to drag up an old thread. Did you only connect the ATX to 4-pin adapter to the motherboard, or did you also connect an 8-pin ATX12V cable as well?

So... go with a E-2146G now or wait for the E-2278G?... :D

They aren't, you'll need a heatsink and airflow over them. The lowest spec part (2104G) has a TDP of 65W.

I'll be able to confirm in roughly a month when I have a processor and RAM (upgrade is being funded incrementally...). Since you have a line to Asrock @ReturnedSword, perhaps you could ask if E-2200 processors would be supported with a BIOS update (they are supposedly socket compatible), as if...

That's not how I read his response - he states if you use a NVMe M.2 device, all four PCIe lanes on the M.2 slot are occupied thus no bus lanes available for SATA on the M.2 slot. He even says "four SATA ports through OCuLink and four other SATA ports on the board should be available" o_O

What are you running with high write requirements? I have a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB drive in a Ubuntu server that this Asrock motherboard and Lexar SSD will be going into. It is currently the system and swap drive and rated at 300 TBW. It has 1529 power on DAYS (36706 hours) and has written...

WD have a 2242 size SSD (SN520), as do Lexar (NM520). Maximum capacity in both cases is 512GB, likely due to physical constraints. The WD series has a 2230 option also.

There was no way I was getting one in AU, so I had one sent from wiredzone to a freight forwarder. Shipping was nearly as much as the cable o_O
