Review: Great Board Once You Get An Undamaged One - The CPU socket on the first board I received had bent pins so it was unusable and I sent it back. It looks like I'm not the only once to have experienced this. The second board was fully functional. What I love about this board is that you can switch off the IPMI, Aspeed onboard video and IP functions by simply flicking switches on the motherboard. In the meantime you have a workstation motherboard with high quality components and rock solid stability that supports ECC RAM and all this wrapped up in an mATX format. In other words this motherboard can be the foundation of a very powerful computer in a small package that should turn out to be highly reliable. One of the great things about reading motherboard reviews is that you realize that some reviewers simply don't know what they're talking about or they're not as experienced as they think they are. Read the reviews carefully then and make a decision. This board isn't cheap but if you know what you are doing it's well worth it.
Review: Excellent / Solid Board - I decided to order this board even though the only reviews that were listed were negative (mine arrived with NO bent pins). I paired it with ECC Ram - Kingston's KSM48E40BS8KM-16HM (2 sticks for 32GB) and an Intel 12600K - lowest/cheapest proc that supports ECC - be sure to check and see if your CPU support ECC before you order - not all do and may cause problems I would imagine. I also decided to run Debian 12 on it instead of Windows (Linux is not listed as a supported OS on ASUS's website). I have been using it for a couple weeks now and everything is working great. Here are a few caveats with this board that I have encountered: BMC remote management works great with Windows. However, I am running Debian and it works but remote control is a bit slow. However, the other features work fine (remote media, power control, etc). You can even flash the BIOS right from the BMC. Awesome! One thing to note with Linux - Do not have a monitor plugged into the server at the same time you are trying to use the Remote Control. The remote control ends up as a second screen and not the primary. This drove me crazy for a bit until I figured out what was going on. Run the server headless and you are ok. There may be a way around this but I haven't found it yet. The SlimSAS-SAS port does NOT support SAS disks unfortunately. I tried a slim SAS to SAS cable and it does not work. SlimSAS to SATA works fine though using the same cable. If you need SAS disk support, you will need a SAS controller card in one of the PCI Express slots. Debian OS - Have to set static ip address. For some reason when using DHCP it will not get an ip address unless you manually click connect in the dialog box (if you are using a GUI and KDE - maybe it will work if you just run without the GUI?? havent tested, need the GUI for my specific use case). 2.5Gbps networking works great. All other items were detected and work perfect - USB, etc. Overall I am happy with this board. Has some unique features that arent in too many boards such as ECC and the BMC. Also being able to use quick sync with the 12600K.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great server board
*by A***R on May 14, 2025*

I have this board doing my server duties. I updated BIOS to prevent any issues with 13th generation Intel CPU. Nig plus, it supports ECC memory. It seems to have enough expansion slots, however after adding 10Gbe card, Nvidia GPU and LSi HBA card I'm left with only one more slot. The top two slots support PCIe Gen 4 and only one of them utilizes more PCIe lanes. I may use it to install Asus NVME expansion card. Beware, that this motherboard chip will only allow 2 more additional NVME drives. I could not get SlimSAS connector to work initially. However, after poking in the BIOS I was able to find option that enabled SlimSAS. This option is not in Bios Storage setup. I believe, SlimSAS can be passthrough to VM. I have a tiny complain. Why there are only 4 SATA ports? Not enough.
