Theres some NAS specific boards out there and some server specific boards, which I have no experience with yet.

You'll have to turn off Turbo too (as mentioned in the powertop readme), and probably also have to limit PL1/PL2 power states - keeping PL1 within 32 seconds. For starters, this X570 chipset motherboard uses the AMD AM4 socket along with 4 memory slots to support up to 128 GB memory. On the off chance this is not deliberately loaded with malware, there's a pretty good chance that it's involuntarily loaded with malware, given the miserable security record even big OEMs have when dealing with ASpeed BMC stuff. Systemax Technologies Pty Ltd is a trusted supplier of servers, options, storage and networking products, server racks, high end workstations and much more to organisations throughout Australia. I've used the one mentioned in the article and since my chassis had an expander backplane, I didn't need a separate expander card, just the cabling between the backplane and the system I connected it to.Use ZFS mirroring or MDADM instead if you want software raid, then you get far better manageability and monitoring. In other words, you will need to look into workstation-grade motherboards and I personally do not recommend those because of their cost and rarity.

With the AM4 socket, you can pair this motherboard with a low-end and affordable AMD Athlon 3000 series CPU. I recommend getting the Kingston Server Premier UDIMMs, most of the forum users with X570D4U use them.

With its LGA 1200 socket and Intel B560 chipset, the MSI MPG B560I Gaming Edge WiFi makes it possible. Asrock Rack just mentioned that in the datasheet because normal APUs don’t like ECC, but otherwise any normal Ryzen does. nothing special or what I expected but its ok for 6 SATA Ports and 3HDDs + 1 NVMe attached I guess .

If these features are something that you value, then I liked the Asustor AS5404T best out of this group. This is where going with a larger motherboard form factor can be a great option as while a mini ITX motherboard offers a single PCI-E slot, ATX motherboards can come with 3-6 slots of different sizes which should be plenty even for heavy-duty usage. ports, 1 x Ethernet, 1 x HDMI, audio ports, and other handy ports on the back allowing you to easily connect most devices and peripherals.With three Gigabit LAN ports, the Z10PE-D16 can be configured to use more bandwidth than a standard motherboard. Therefore, you must decide which processor you want to install on the motherboard before purchasing it. And finally, there is also a problem with their patches, that their developers often notice that after patching a problem they have introduced a new security vulnerability. If you want to add more components over time, you’ll be glad you picked out an expandable and powerful motherboard. no guide or no disclaimer for now how to reach C8 (I've started from scratch 6 times now and always reach it again).
