Hi. I just recently joined and have not found anything close to my question using the search feature of this forum.
I am looking at buying the Supermicro 386BA-R920B chassis to use as a NAS running TrueNAS. Currently I am running turnkey type 6 to 10 NASes. I am considering using the X11SPL-F board, but looking at other MB option. So far the only suitable one that I can find is the ASUS Z11PS-U12. I want remote management so my choices are slim. I was hoping to find a Ryzen based board, but the only one that I could find was a uATX size which will not work in the chassis.
My question is will I have any problem with using a 3rd party ATX or E-ATX MB in the 386BA chassis. I see that Gigabyte has some new boards based on the C621 chipset, but don't see prices on them yet. I am not comfortable with using older gen boards and then trying to buy used CPUs.
Thanks.
