Overview

Not a gaming motherboard with RGB and WiFi, this Supermicro is a workstation chipset board for Intel Core Ultra chips. It adds ECC memory support, two Intel network ports and vPro remote management for office and server builds.

ECC memory and remote management make it suitable for machines that must stay up and be managed from afar. Wireless networking and box contents are not listed, so plan on wired use and check the accessory kit.

Who it's for

Small business servers, CAD stations and home labs that value stability fit this board. Gaming builds are better served by consumer chipsets.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • ECC memory support
  • Two Intel Ethernet ports
  • Remote management through vPro
  • Eight SATA ports for drives
Cons
  • No WiFi listed
  • Box contents not listed
  • CPU TDP limit lower than title claims

Performance notes

ECC memory detects and corrects single bit errors, which protects long running jobs from silent data faults. vPro and AMT let an administrator power cycle and repair the machine remotely. The CPU-attached storage slot carries the newest PCIe speeds, while the chipset slot runs one generation lower.
