reason i asked was cause I heard news that they will be available in 1-2 months time.... but i cant find any news
generally it takes good 6-9 months...
ASRock, Supermicro, ASUS will all have bare bones servers for the AM5 platform, probably Q1.
BEHOLD

so far Supermicro hasnt supported Ryzen AM4 , only threadripper and Epyc cpu's... will be VERY surprised if they support AM5
ASRock for sure will do AM5 but is very slow to prod... same with ASUS
surprised Gigabyte announced first.... but than i dont expect to see that MB for a long time... just like Intel 13th mobo with ipmi that GB took out still cant find them at any resellers... while i have bunch of supermicro 13th gen mobo in production
Looks like about $500 and available in a month or so. Might be easier searching on alibaba or something though.

Looks like Gigabyte is not wasting time B650E hmmm Interesting. thought I would share if anyone is interested. Regards Rob

Gigabyte made odd choices. The biggest is that they are using one of the CPU's PCie x4 ports for the 10GbE controller. If my math is right, 2x 10GbE is ~ 2.5GB/s. Those x4 lanes are PCIe 5.0 from the CPU so this controller is only using ~16% of the bandwidth. Meanwhile, they are hanging a PCIe 4 x4 slot off of the B650 chip which has to share the PCIe 4 x4 link to the CPU. Seems to me that they should have hooked the 10GbE controller to the B650 chip, since it would use less than half the bandwidth to the CPU and used the x4 off the CPU for the x4 slot.
Not splitting the x16 -> x8 + x8 is also unfortunate. Lots of odd I/O choices on this board. Hopefully ASRock Rack will do a little better.

My best guess is trace lengths. The 10GbE controller is right next to the CPU socket, whereas the chipset is on the other side of the board, near the x4 slot.
seems they might have something in the 1st half of next year, thats a long wait....Know something?
A lot of Ryzen CPUs are used in data centers it seems.
It's too bad Gigabyte didn't expose all of the PCIe lanes.
If the price is really in the $500 range, I'd expect to have access to all of the PCIe I/O. One more M.2 slot and additional full PCIe slot option would have made these boards perfect.
Hopefully Asrock comes out with a better design. I'll be waiting a while until ECC DDR5 is readily available anyway.

Good luck buying that anywhere!!almost every MB can have IPMI function with Paul.

PiKVM is another option that you can actually buy

Asrock Rack has preliminary specs for their AM5 server boards: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=B650D4U-2T/BCM#Specifications
Looks good at first glance. They have a second model that drops 10G ethernet support but gives a second M.2 slot.
Great use of I/O, unlike the weird Gigabyte boards.

That looks soooo awesome! When is expected ETA? Limitation of 128GB for DDR5 memory?
Do the kits come with cooling? I really want to build one. The Ryzen 9 - 7950X has come down alot would be great server.
ETA is anyone’s guess at this point. 4x32GB is the maximum memory due to the CPU’s limit. Have to step up to the Threadripper or Epyc lines if you need more RAM.
This is motherboard only, so no cooling included. They have a separate barebones server that does include cooling though.
The AM4 versions of this board have been good (albeit with BIOS quirks) home server options for several years. I use a 5950X in their X470D4U. I’ll likely step up to the 7950X in this board when it’s affordable and available because I do a lot of compiling on the box.
