So, did a bit of research and made this table, Tested means if some user got that CPU running on this Mainboard.
If someone wants to add some information, just write me.

Also do pro version of APUs support ECC?

5800X3D works with BIOS F14 (not tested with earlier versions).

Has anyone ordered one and had it delivered to the United States?
Price seems pretty enticing even with shipping and conversion rates :)

I was going to use a ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND for my new NAS build, but the MC12-LE0 might be a good fit as well

MC12-LE0
1 x PCIe x16 (Gen4 x16)
1 x PCIe x4 (Gen4 x4)
1 x M.2 slot with PCIe Gen3 x1 interface
2 x 1Gb/s LAN ports (Intel® I210-AT)
1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Management LAN

ASRock B550M STEEL LEGEND
No IPMI :(
1 PCIe x16 (Gen4 x16)
1 PCIe x16 (Gen3 x4)
1 PCIe x1 (Gen3 x1)
1 M.2 Key E for WiFi
1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4)
1 M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x2 & SATA3)
1 x 2.5G LAN

Does anyone know if this board supports ASPM (Active State Power Management) for PCIE devices? I can't find anything in the BIOS or manual about it, but to my understanding this is usually quite a common option.

I was hoping to pair this with a 5600 or 5700X (i.e.CPU, not APU) and a GPU with ASPM enabled to save power, as per below video:

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

I did. When I ordered a few months ago, they quoted me 60 EUR for shipping one unit, and 100 EUR to ship three units. So I ordered three and sold the other two.

You can see my previous posts in this thread. I did BIOS/firmware upgrades, and simple stress tests and power measurements on all three. All three were perfect. The one I kept has become the heart of my home server, with a 5700x and 128GB ECC RAM.

I've been running with a Solarflare SFN5122F NIC (10Gbps, SFP+, low power consumption, super cheap on ebay) in the larger x16 PCIe slot. I recently got an nVidia Tesla P4 GPU, so had to move the Solarflare to the smaller x4 PCIe slot. It worked fine despite the NIC actually being an x8 card (i.e. half the card's PCIe interface isn't connected). Though I later splurged and bought a TRENDNet TEG-10GECSFP NIC because it's physically smaller and theoretically uses a bit less less power. (Though the Solarflare 5000-series is really power efficient, I don't know why these aren't more popular in the homelab community.)

I wouldn't hesitate to use this board for a NAS. If I didn't already have a great board for my NAS (Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F), I would have kept a second MC12-LE0 for that purpose. The x4 PCIe slot is perfect for a 10G NIC, and that leaves the x16 slot for a disk controller (if needed).

Do you have any power consumption numbers for either of the SFP+ NICs? For reference, I've measured my HP MCX312B-XCCT 546SFP Mellanox ConnectX-3 at ~7W.

I don't. How do you measure the power consumption of a PCIe device in isolation? Or are you inferring it from full system power consumption with vs without the card?

I've just gone by what the manufacturer says, and eye-balling a Kill-a-Watt after adding the card. Solarflare claims 4.9W typical for the 5000-series cards. Note that later-gen cards are higher. These are readily available on eBay for $15 or so. (I have also have a single-port SFN5152 in my fileserver - I actually paid less for that than the twinax cable to which it's connected!)

TRENDnet claims max 1.5W for the TEG-10GECSFP.

Nothing fancy, same as you, I have the build plugged into a Tuya plug where I measure it with/without the card.

5600 has arrived and BMC and BIOS updated :)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. Made everything super quick and easy.

Anyone got an tips or advice re BIOS settings for optimizing power usage? Running Unraid so will start looking into Powertop and similar tools.

Any idea what's going on here? I have swapped CPUs from Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G > Ryzen 3 4100, and have 'lost' ECC? Using 2 x KSM32ES8/16HC. This is a bare metal TrueNAS.

Before:

before-ecc-1.pngbefore-ecc-2.png
After:
after-noecc-1.pngafter-noecc-2.pngafter-noecc-3.png

No other changes aside from the CPU swap. ECC was reported available in both TrueNAS and BMC before.

Have tried changing this in BIOS but no difference.

dmidecode -t 17 in TrueNAS shows what should be correct width of 72 bits?
