I am also looking to upgrade my R740 CPU with a 8124m or similar chip. Has any tried the 200w 8222CL Xeon or the 210w 8259CL in a R740? Those shouldn't have the same power consumption issue of the 8124m.
My answer is ASRock EPC621D8A + Xeon 8124M all day long. I just ditched my old HP Gen9 Broadwell server for this same setup and have not looked back. I think these are an amazing deal and would not be surprised if we see prices rise on the 8124m chips.
Asrock says "

Two 8124m's (SRD1Y) running great on the ASRock Rack RM237-C622LM, no bios or VRM mod. Also have a 8124m (SR37R) running smooth on EPC621D8a, no mods needed either.
