Hello everyone! Looking for recommendations for a motherboard, specifically a C246 chipset motherboard. I already have the CPU and must use this chipset. I’m also limited to ITX as I have a Chenbro 301 for a case. Here are the use cases for my upcoming build:
AsRock Rack C246 WSI Mini-ITX Server Motherboard LGA 1151 Intel C246 - Newegg.com
AsRock Rack E3C246D2I Mini-ITX Server Motherboard LGA 1151 Intel C246 - Newegg.com
Jetway JNF796M2-C246 Intel 9th Gen Xeon E-Series Mini-ITX Motherboard, TPM 2.0, Dual GbE LAN
MSI 919-98L1-005 Ms-98l1 Intel Clf-S C246 Mini-Itx Ddr4 Sodimm Lan Dp Hdmi.
First it will be used as a “mobile server” where in I plan to take a plex library and host my library to an entire company of Marines during deployment. Basically plan to stick a wireless router on top and serve it up over LAN and WLAN.
Second, after deployment, this will become one of my long-term storage nodes for my family’s pictures, documents, home movies, etc. (hence the ECC memory). I plan to drop this at my dad’s so I want as stable as possible (other reason for ECC).
Questions I have: Would IPMI be helpful? What should I use the one PCI-E slot for? Recommended CPU cooler?
