Supermicro C32 matx motherboard 80$

[pyro_]

For those of you who might have an AMD C32 processor laying around and want a motherboard for it. Found this Supermicro mATX board, single processor, 4 dimm slots for up to 128GB ram and has onboard IPMI. Made an offer of 80$ and it was accepted, you might be able to do even better

I bought 2 from this seller in april, paid $125 each . Decent little boards, but be warned, they come with old BIOS and IPMI firmware, I have old 41xx Opterons so updating wasn't an issue.

The 41xx's are cheap and I've noticed the newer 43xx processors are coming down in price.

Thanks for the heads up. I am planing on putting in an EE 4100 chip for now so should not be an issue

Any chance you can run Linux-Bench on one of these? I am super interested to see how they compare to the C2750 for example.

Could probably do it though it will be a month or possibly a bit more before it happens cause i will have to go and pick it up from the shipping warehouse i had it shipped to and i wont be doing that till middle of next month.

BTW i am going to take a guess right now that the EE i have will be slower than the 2750, the Opteron EE has less cores and a lower clock speed.

Only reason i am using it is cause i already had one laying around and already have the ram for it. was going to get one of the Asus P9A-I boards but would have to buy it and also buy the ram for it as well, so this is considerably cheaper in the short run.
