Hey David! I haven't had the chance to get my hands on one, but they seem solid as well! They do still have the dreaded JMB585 controller though, which doesn't support ASPM

Thanks a lot for this video ! What about N100 nas motherboards, Do you think it's also a good solution ?

My current home server build (built on the Ryzen Pro 5750GE) supports ECC and with an SSD/NVMe only setup it idles at a respectable 33-37W (depending on how many VMs are running), which is pretty good considering it also runs a GPU pass-through Windows VM (with an RTX A4000). I am testing out a transition to an 15-13500T and Intel because of the iGPU/transcoding and the efficiency for pinning the service cores on the E-cores.
The 4x2.5Gbit is super compelling on this board though, and could see this as a smart/thick router with all that connectivity built right in (sort of a cheaper Zima board). Might get one just to see how well it runs the usual suspects (OpnSense, maybe even Open WRT?)
