in a chassis with jet engine FANs + Air shroud you should be fine with the VRMs.

As I said the plan fell apart because by the Time I got the Month's Salary the Chassis went out of Stock ...
And I was NOT planning on leaving the Backup Server ON 24/7 let alone with an EPYC Motherboard
It's not, just wanted to post update. Maybe give you alternative? I'm considering buying H12SSL, this would be for $490How is that Answering my Question exactly
Probably don't understand enough. Why would you consider Epyc board for backup server at all? The electricity cost would not worth it I believe.As I said the plan fell apart because by the Time I got the Month's Salary the Chassis went out of Stock ...

No, it's not worth it. EPYC is actually more efficient than those Xeon E5 v3/v4 I was eyeing for the Backup Server or my Desktop. The EPYC I think can Idle as low as 60W ...
I think he just means "why not, you got enough PCIe Lanes for that".
NVME Power Consumption though ...
That would be CPU alone, no? What I read so far, whole system with Epyc would be ~150W. My work machine idles at ~60W which is a lot for bakup server for me.
Try with 36 HDDs then let's talk about those "big" 60W ... With a Figure of 10W/HDD at a minimum it would be 400W with 36 HDDs. Plus PSU efficiency on top of that, so maybe 450W or so.
Those 6TB SAS HDDs at 30 EUR/piece were too good to pass on. But now it seems that I need to spend a whole lot more in term of Chassis & whatnot. Sigh.Ok, I don't have that needs at home, understand
Yes, really nice price. I currently have 6x 18TB in RAIDZ2, which is enough for my needs. Maybe I will upgrade to 8x 18TB now when zpool resize is an option with ZFS 2.3. Have them all inside my working PC which I hardly power off anyway.
I don't like the connectivity choices they've made here. I'd much rather have all the PCIe slots available to use versus the one additional M.2 slot over the Supermicro boards. It's a terrible tradeoff—and they're not even 22110, so say goodbye to support for most SSD options that provide PLP... Oh, and there definitely should, at least, be another variant available that offers 10GbE instead of 2.5GbE—especially with PCIe slots already being limited.
It also requires an additional BMC module to fully support IPMI. Where is this available from, how much does it cost, and what connectivity does it have (PMBus, I hope)?
IMO, @Tugm4470 is asking far too much for this Huananzhi board as its feature set isn't comparable to other options that are similarly priced and its longevity is in question due to it not being from an established brand with a proven track record of providing good support for their products.
Edit:
To those brave enough to purchase one, please be sure to share your experiences with us. I'm particularly curious about the BIOS functionality it offers.

So the H11SSL-i Rev. 2.0 would be a better Deal, even if it doesn't support PCIe 4.0 ? Does it Support AMD EPYC Milan though ?
Well considering the current Prices of Milan I guess probably not worth to future proof too much ...
I upgraded my fileserver in 2022 from a xeon e5 v4 4core cpu + supermicro x10srl + 1x 32GByte RDIMM to an epyc 7443p 24 core cpu + h12ssl-i + 8x 16GByte rdimms. Chassis (846 with sas 3 expander backplane), 22x 16TByte hdds, raid controller and psu stayed the same.
Difference at the wall were 25-30 Watt more under it's normal load. That's 20more cores, 6 more rdimms (higher clock, but lower capacity), pcie 4.0, 88more pci lanes
