Hi guys,
First of all, thank you for sharing all this info on these forums.
I read through most of the posts, and as I see many of you with MS03-CE0.
I'm considering Asus W790 Sage vs MS03-CE0 (the goal is CPU inference with a bunch of fine-tuning with an additional 3-4 GPUs, Linux only), and I lean towards the Gigabyte mobo with 8x64 DDR5 5600 (JEDEC).
I already have a QYFS on the way, but I'd like to keep the option to upgrade to EMR (which is not possible with W790). On the other hand, the Asus board is advertised as a workstation board and I'm not sure if there is any significant difference if used as a workstation. I don't mind long boot times (I usually put my workstation to sleep), I don't need the management features, and I'm not intending to overclock anything. I have a USB audio interface and I'm fine without 20 USB ports.
For those of you who own the MS03-CE0 (or know it): are there any downsides of the "server" motherboard? Is S3/S4 sleep working?
