power use is really not a concern with a motherboard like this bro this board has different uses then gaming also your ryzen m/b only has dual channel ram at best this is quad channel mabe better then that also has ecc memory
@@mzwandula you are right to the point. If you ask me a B450 brand board is less than $100. Add DDR4 (cheap) with Ryzen 3700x or 3900X, and you have a much better system.
I am pleasantly surprised that an X99 CPU was able to pass the windows 11 requirements, as it is not mentioned in the list of compatible CPU. Well done for building the fully loaded server board.
Congratulations on the board. SM boards are great. Two tips: You can generate a OOB license based on the BMCs MAC address. Its nice to be able to flash BIOS from the BMC. You can google the script. Second, if you want to boot of NVME there are some BIOS modifications for injecting NVME support DXEs. I did it on my X10DRU-i its really simple. Enchances the already good value on these boards.
you might be able to boot from nvme if you set the board to uefi only mode, worked on mine but i have slightly different model number and it can be kind of buggy, mine came with 10g nics
There's some other versions of that board from Supermicro that have 3 x16 slots and 3 x8 slots named X10DRi-T. Based on the model number (it has a T at the end) think the board has built in 10Gb ports. There's even a smaller version that fits in an ATX form factor too, the X10DRL-i (but that one only has the 1 x16 slot and no built in 10Gb. IMO the only downside of these boards is I couldn't get mine to boot to NVME drives in PCI riser cards, but I think you can get a modified BIOS that allows NVME boot.
Hallo from Germany. Nice what you doing. This board have an ssf port (same on pcie raid controller) behind the the usb3 port on board. you can connect 4 SAS drive there.
actually, I think this mobo has 10 sata ports the other 4 ports you get if you have the ssf-8087 to 4x sata splitter cable (can be bought on amazon etc. for 5-10usd)
Or go to microcenter and get a current gen bundle for cheaper and higher benchmarks and fit majority of home user needs. I can see this is a good option for some fringe cases but majority of home uses I think it's cheaper and easier to pop into microcenter.
right, and he's running Ubuntu which already makes it "fringe." Who knows what "fringe" thing he's going to do with it? Maybe host a bunch of VMs, set up servers, do other nerdy things? You're not wrong but I do think you're lost. Head back to the "normie" tech channels. I think Toasty Bros just posted a new video.
Also IPMI/IDRAC/ILO is a huge draw for something like this and really boosts the ability to manage and learn management skills that are transferable to professional work.
good value - people don't have an idea of how to really use this much power - still could be upgraded to nvme/dual gpu and huge raid arrays = for 1300 you get a lot but eventually these older systems are going to go away - they still have some lifespan left for sure - upgrade to an older threadripper in 3 yrs
I ordered an X10SRH-CF off of ebay for a really good price (mobo+CPU combo for $50) because I had ram sitting around I could use for it. Seller ended up sending me an X11SSH-F by mistake and long story short I ended up with both boards+CPU for $50. Now I just need to figure out what to use the X11 for but I'm sure I can figure something out. I've worked with SM boards for years, some of them have had quirks (usually fixed with bios update) and X99 is kind of getting old depending on what you want to do exactly (and needing Java for older boards IPMI is a pain) but I'd take a second hand SM board over those cludged together boards any day, glad you finally gave a SM board a try. I know power is much more of an issue in Europe for instance though and the power draw for that system would probably make hardware like that a no go for a lot of people, that said there's nothing wrong with using those Chinese boards (assuming they work properly and are reliable) given some nice QOL features like NVME slots and what not and the fact that the hardware isn't becoming ewaste is probably a good thing. That board will do 10 SATA with a breakout cable for the 's-sata' port, don't know if that board is as finicky as some other SM boards about cables but the SM part (CBL-0097L-03) is fairly cheap.
My biggest concern with the crazy stuff on AliExpress was when people review them on RUclips the chances they mentioned an issue was high, and then what kind of options will we have in two years if we want a direct replacement? It's ok if Synology has tiny form factor stuff in tiny cases because we can get that replaced. Home brew stuff with these Frankenstein boards just seems risky to deal with replacements if needed. And the odds we need stability in the server world is very high.
@@ckckck12 I've been watching Miyconst's reviews of these boards for a couple years now and while they have gotten better in a lot of ways I'd generally still prefer to grab a used SuperMicro board for my home server needs.
I just don't like how the Chinese boards are getting bundled with E5 2xxx vx Xeons that are dual-socket capable instead of single-socket SKUs; seems a waste if you've only got one socket on the motherboard. That seems to be a thoughtless or careless choice on the part of the seller. But I guess what else is new with these retailers?
@@SeeJayPlayGames My guess is there are just a lot more of these Xeons floating around and honestly most of them are so cheap now a days it's not that big an issue. They do also make dual socket boards but for most uses single socket will get the job done.
im running a z8 g5 hp workstation i got it in a trade as it had some issues and would have cost the company more to service . i fixed the issues and its my main rig . destroys everything on the market lol
Please note that the Chinese board does not support quad channel ram so even if you used all four slots, they are 2 channels each CPU. the supermicro (like every other name brand) supports all 4 channels so essentially much better memory bandwidth.
Hello Sir: Very informative video, well done! I really like Supermicro motherboards, they are very good quality but expensive. Now I see you found a bargain Supermicro motherboard. My question is what case and power supply would you recommend for the Supermicro motherboard in this video. I would like to build a Beast NAS server utilizing this Supermicro motherboard. Also, would you be able to tell me the model of this Supermicro motherbord? Thank you in advance for you help.
I'm using Supermicro X10DRH-iT Dual Intel XEON E5-2600v3/v4 LGA2011-v3 E-ATX Motherboard and for case, I would go with SuperMicro chasis, 2-bay should be enough I think www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/2U/
@@TechnicallyUnsure: What would you recommend as far as a tower chassis? Too bad this motherboard doesn't support a NVMe adapter board and M.2 SSD combo. It would make a beast of a NAS server running True Scale.
My 5 year old Ryzen 9 3900x has only 12 cores 24 threads, uses less than half the Power and only one socket and scores 18000 points in Cinebech R23

Win 11 will work even with 3rd gen intel CPU as long as MB has TPM
Even without TPM, it works as well. An intel copy is an intel cpu. All X64 cpus are functionally equivalent... 😊
@@fteoOpty64 yes if you prepared the USB to bypass the TPM and CPU.
i had a dell t7910 that gota bios update that updated tpm to 2.0 so it just installed

Hallo from Germany. Nice what you doing. This board have an ssf port (same on pcie raid controller) behind the the usb3 port on board. you can connect 4 SAS drive there.
Hallo! Yes, you are correct. I just didn't have any SAS drives lying around and didn't use those ports.
I'm pretty sure even though it's a SAS SFF 8086 connector, it's electrically SATA. Regardless, it would work fine with SATA drives
Nice, first time you seemed really happy with your purchase. Yes, it is Supermicro. That's US tech vs China junks before...
I see that you really love plants.. how adorable.
SuperMicro are great board, I've had a couple server built around those boards with zero issues.

Also IPMI/IDRAC/ILO is a huge draw for something like this and really boosts the ability to manage and learn management skills that are transferable to professional work.
For $190 you can have X10X99-D16 with 16 slots, more SATA, SAS/SFF ports, plus more connectivity (M.2 slots etc.).

How do these compare to the Dell T7910 motherboard? They seem to be a fraction of price.
Great video,really informative, may I know the GB5 scores for this build, sorry if I miss something😊
Did you put any thermal paste between the CPU and cooler?
The coolers already had it pre-applied from the factory, you can see it when he turns it upside down around 8:57
Shoulda RAID0 those SSDs !! Mwaahaha
I'm interested in one of those MBs, what's the link for the eBay store?
I bought it from this store, but there are many similar sellers on eBay: www.ebay.com/str/techypartsllc
Just to throw it out there I've ordered some stuff over the years from that exact ebay seller and never had a problem.
What is the model number of the SuperMicro MB purchased?

yes
and even with a modded bios you get rebar support :)
are you able to post a link to the board you bought so wee can get it please
We had an issue with these where the IPMI would drop out and require a cold reset on the bmc.
Where tf you guys getting such cheap SM 2S mobos... in Europe all I can get is $500 or $250 + $100 shipping from US :/
please mail it to me!!! I really need to upgrade my servers, and with that one I'll go from 3 to 1 server
🤣😂😉😇
Sad for me because im from Asia
VGA port… serial port.. Wow. Is that super high-end technology!?
They are still common in servers in data centers. Mobile crash carts usually have a vga monitor on them.
Dude, Ipmi and serial for Ups control!!!. Yes, tech you cannot understand...
Kinda pricey CPUs imo. I stopped purchasing stuff from China since the war started.
Ohh man … not at good idea at alll that thing is a power hungry hog😅
