I've had hands-on experience with these boards from just dealing with the Precision 5860s elsewhere. These suck; very long post times ~1m 20s with nothing of note enabled.im new to this, can anyone explain the deal with the DELL F4Y1M? i want to get a Platinum 8461V QYFU and was wondering if it'll work on it, if it doesnt work then i would love to hear alternatives if not i'll probably get a known mobo that works but this dell one seems really good for the price, sorry if im being a bother im just new to these engineering sample things and dont know much
Quirk: Powering off by holding the power button, like most Dell Precisions, causes them to power back on -then- off, which can be confusing if this behavior isn't known. But on the 5860 it takes the better part of a minute before it powers back off to let you try to power on and boot normally.
Proprietary front panel, PSU connections too. Non-bypassable fan and even M.2 heatsink warnings (causing another 1m 20s POST sequence if acknowledged), proprietary fan connection, etc.
From the bottom of my heart, use a different board.
