ASRock IMB-V2000P Ryzen Embedded motherboard

[Smurphy]

Hi folks

I have ordered a IMB-V2000P mini-motherboard as I want to replace my 6+ year old hardware @ home.
CPU is the IMB-V2000P(V2748, 2.9GHz, 35-54W), 8 cores + HT.
Note there will be no additional GPU, and I will try to reduce/disable all GPU functionality as not required on a Server.

As I think I'll be receiving one of the first batch, I wondered if you guys would be interested for me to run a full scale Phoronix-test suite/benchmark on it - actually before I will migrate my services on it.

Plan is to have it fitted with:
- 2x16Gb ECC 3200 SODIMM (even though, these do not exist yet. Dunno if I'll not take slower ones).
- 1 1TB NVme system drive
- 2x 2TB SSD as Raid 1
- 2x 12TB HDD connected to additional controller

The main idea for me is to run that as a server with most apps running as Dockerized apps.
I however wonder what the performance would be, reason I think about performing these test benchmarks.

Any comments, recommendations, tips on what to look out for?

Did put my setup online here: https://stargate.solsys.org/dyntbl.p...3&op=View&id=9 with also some pictures and explanations.
The build-blog is evolving as the setup goes forward.

Didn't manage to go with 3200 RAM as it is just not available.
The Data-Drive also became a 1Tb NVMe SSD instead of 2 1Tb SSD's in Raid1.

Currently, I'm running some of the phoronix benchmarks on it.

I really like what you've done here. I've been trying to get the same motherboard. Did you just use ASRock inquiry to order yours?

[Smurphy]

Yep. I had to contact ASRock directly. And, FYI, you need to buy it through a company. They don't sell to end customers.
And - BTW - this board is really awesome! I really love it!
