I am seeing these ASRock "rack server" type motherboards that feature some really great specs for AMD Ryzen AM5 CPUs. I had a user that recommended the Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 motherboard for a home lab build
Below is the Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 motherboard. Looks to have nice specs, including multiple PCI-e slots and standard size memory modules instead of SODIMMs. Specs include:
- Supports AMD Socket AM5 Ryzen 7000 Series Processors
- 8+2+1 Power Phase, Dr.MOS
- Supports DDR5 6400+ MHz (OC)
- 2 PCIe 4.0 x16, 1 PCIe 4.0 x1, 1 M.2 Key E for WiFi
- Integrated AMD RDNA 2 Graphics
- Does not include RGB connector
- CPU Socket: Socket AM5
Reviews look decent.
There is also the B650D4U-2L2T/BCM board that is supposed to be a server type motherboard, also including IPMI functionality. But the reviews on Amazon look to be terrible.
- Micro-ATX (9.6"x 9.6")
- Support AMD Ryzen 7000 series Processors
- 4 DIMM slots (2DPC), supports DDR5 ECC/non-ECC UDIMM
- 1 PCIe5.0 x16, 1 PCIe5.0 x4, 1 PCIe4.0 x1
- Supports 1 M.2 (PCIe5.0 x4)
Curious if anyone out there has used ASRock motherboards for server or other builds and thoughts/opinions? @malcolm-r @t3hbeowulf you guys used similar?
