Not sure I need PCIe 4.0. What about weak VRMs ?
in a chassis with jet engine FANs + Air shroud you should be fine with the VRMs.cheap 4u SC846/SC847 Chassis

As I said the plan fell apart because by the Time I got the Month's Salary the Chassis went out of Stock ...in a chassis with jet engine FANs + Air shroud you should be fine with the VRMs.
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 ...
And I was NOT planning on leaving the Backup Server ON 24/7 let alone with an EPYC Motherboard![]()
Nvme backup serverWhy would you consider Epyc board for backup server at all?
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 ...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.
I think he just means "why not, you got enough PCIe Lanes for that".Why would anyone need backup on NVMe?
for ultra fast recoveryWhy would anyone need backup on NVMe?
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.No, it's not worth it.

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.That would be CPU alone, no? What I read so far, whole system with Epyc would be ~150W.

Ok, I don't have that needs at home, understandTry 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.Those 6TB SAS HDDs at 30 EUR/piece were too good to pass on.

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.I was contacted about that new MB and looks good.
South H12D-8D SP3 motherboard performance=Supermicro h12ssl-i support 7002-7003

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 ?I don't like the connectivity choices they've made here.

7001/7002So 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 ?
+200 yuan but I don't know if it is sold separatelyIt also requires an additional BMC module to fully support IPMI. Where is this available from, how much does it cost,
Well considering the current Prices of Milan I guess probably not worth to future proof too much ...7001/7002
no Milan.

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.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.
