1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

agreed, can you think of any budget friendly alternatives? RJ-45 specifically...?
Yeah, my old netgear home router probably used about 10W. This uses around 65W (and I still have the netgear as a wireless AP).
But, on the upside, it's got opnsense installed, and I....
a) have never had a bittorrent like download slow down due to router getting overloaded
b) haven't had anything like a whiff of a quality of service complain (streaming, Zoom etc)
c) have been confident that any time I lose internet connection, the solution is always to restart the cable modem to my dumb ISP, never the router.
and eventually I'll get some other device that supports 10GB RJ45 so I can actually use all those great ports
so it's probably worth the power wastage.
I ultimately decided that the RJ-45 ports limited my options. SFP+ add-in cards, direct attach copper, cheap modules, etc are out there. 10Gbe wasn't the main reason I was putting this together anyway. More Wireshark and troubleshooting l fun with LACP and MPIO too.
Yep considering the power difference probably amounts to $10 USD for the whole year (if even that much).Yeah, my old netgear home router probably used about 10W. This uses around 65W (and I still have the netgear as a wireless AP).

Power isn't as big a factor in home labs as it is in the datacenter--unless your homelab looks like a datacenter.
Power is expensive in Denmark, so even a small homelab runs up into more than $1000 USD per year in power.Power isn't as big a factor in home labs as it is in the datacenter--unless your homelab looks like a datacenter.
The "few" servers I run probably uses around 4-500w/h, which quickly amounts to something, when every kw/h cost around 0.38 USD :-(
Since you modified the chassis from non-stock with the Noctua, no Supermicro board will "just work" any longer.
Either install the stock fan, or modify the IPMI fan settings like the rest of us.
I guess I wasn't very clear. I didn't do anything to that chassis. I want to reuse it and repurpose the board that's in there to storage. I don't think this board would fit in there anyway.
i am having a bit of a clear out so if anyone in the UK is looking for this motherboard let me know (currently on ebay)
Not that I can see.

oh yeah unless you have 'issues with kvm console' i guess it's not a big deal.
I haven't used my KVM console after I finally got it set up.
I plan to get this board to replace my old SuperMicro board. However I am planning to place it in a regular full tower case that accepts e-ATX. Is the board mount holes standard ATX/M-ATX holes?
Second, I see SATA 4 and SATA 5 is in a yellow port, are they different?
Third, is there a manual?
Forth, what is the status on BIOS and IPMI firmware?
Fifth, Are there I/O plates out there? or these boards come out from the 1U unit it's actually part of it?

I'm on mobile right now so can't give specifics.
But all the answers you seek are in this thread. Use the search feature for this one thread for the manual, io plate, bios and ipmi, etc. It's all here.
For the different color data ports, that's standard SATADOM.
yeah I saw the ebay for the I/O plate $21 pretty stiff for a little plate like that. I will just have it open till the prices comes down.
I didn't see if this was mention in searching this thread. But I know the board say E3-1200 v3 processors and none other. Anyone tried another 1150 CPU? I have a few 1150 non-Xeon CPU but support (Low voltage I3/Pentium), ECC memory. Does this BIOS support non-Xeon?
