Nope I forgot nothing, and again, I'd rather have more power and more responsibility -- both.

Not a fan of asrock? I’m not worried about out having it rack mounted. Purely after advice as it’s half the price and wanting to know what I’m getting for my money. I’ve been using the search and there any many gigabyte/asus builds but no real comparison or what one is substantially more expensive.
Thanks
Totally different use cases. ASUS board is expensive but can run pretty cheap ES variants of Sapphire Rapids like the famous QYFS 8480 D0. This processor can be purchased for like $100-$200 now. ASRock Rack on the other hand is cheaper but it will not work with these cheap processors so you will have to buy much more expensive QS or retail variants. QS 8480 sometimes can be bought for like $900 and it will give about the same performance as QYFS on ASUS. So choose your poison
correct. i have one again, because it was cheap.BMC destroys BIOS chip, update BMC FW first or you need new chip,
BIOS support is rare, you have to beg and plead for non Beta BIOS with 5th gen support, they have but not on they're page.
many other ASRock Rack motherboard did'nt get any BIOS updates after years, even not solved the known AMI vulnerabilities.
Good to hear your opinion, I didn't know that about their BIOS support! Shame as they on paper at least have nice features etc.
The CPU works well, I don't have an Asus but the Gigabyte ms03-ce0. It works with the ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE and is arguably the best CPU for it since it will turbo to 4ghz if you disable half of the cores. I'm in the US which is good because it took some time to get it from China, and who knows what's going to happen because of tariffs.
Yeah I’m def interested depending on price so I don’t need to wait forever from china lol. I’m in PA. If u want to dm me what you were thinking price wise.
Thank you again, the QYFS is equal to the 8480+. Is there any more info on the K8? I’ve been searching with not much success
it is ES2. brand string is "0000" it can lack some features and have more than 8480+.
QYK8 can be same future target but newer (K comes after F)
or target is a OEM SKU 'C' suffix ( 8481C )
