ASRock Rack EPYCD8 Series Make For Great Value AMD EPYC Motherboards With Rome Support

[Brane215]

Have you found any other cheaper EPYC retail board? Most/all are more expensive than that.

Not by much. ANd with new generation, that price will include PCIe4. Which is kind of a big deal with these things.

It's silly to justify $100 savings by cuttiong off PCIe4 etc on a product combo, wehre (each) CPU usually costs $3k or more...

SuperMicro H11SSL-NC https://www.supermicro.com/en/produc...oard/H11SSL-NC at NewEgg for U$470 https://www.newegg.com/supermicro-mb...1DH-00RC-00001

Tyan Tomcat SX S8026 https://www.newegg.com/p/296-000Z-00048 for U$438 also at NewEgg

NewEgg does have the AsRock Rack EPYCD8 https://www.newegg.com/asrock-rack-e...82E16813140010 for U$440 - but wouldn't you prefer the SuperMicro?

Amazon has the Supermicro MBD-H11SSL-I-O https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-MB...6SDFRE1526ECHD for U$380 - but it's not clear that it's 7002 compatible.

Amazon also has the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-MZ31...670716&sr=8-10 - it's more expensive at U$570 but the BIOS is supposed to be nice.

(PS: This post was neatly written with paragraph breaks, but the post preview shows a wall of text. I hope it doesn't look that way when I hit post reply).

Right there are more EPYC Rome motherboards available now in retail channels but not 2~3 months ago.
