13th gen is now considered very risky due to CPU degradation. X13-SAE-F doesn't have update with new microcode that "supposed" to help with degradation.
I swear you've upgraded with almost all the same hardware I've been looking thinking about. Proxmox server is now an Epyc 7302 in a CX4712 and I've been looking at the X13SAE for my NAS upgrade which will probably go in an HL15. I'll be keeping an eye out in case there is any follow up with the X13 board, even though it's a pretty popular board it's not easy finding much info from homelab users out there about it.
I’ll be doing a full review of the board soon. Some nuances to be aware of with stuff like the ipmi I touched on and no bifurcation support for example.
I really appreciate how nerdy you were to fully map out your home network. That's really something. A question. Why didn't you buy a non-K 65w variant of the processor? Wouldn't that have been a better option for your use case?
Likely a non K would have been better but it doesn’t exist for this SKU. The KF does but that has no iGPU which makes quicksync impossible. There is a split in the 13500 / 13600 lineup where one is a rebadged 12th gen vs the 600+ being genuinely new and improved iirc.
Great work! I am following you to see what inspiration can I get. I was looking for a Supermicro motherboard and this seems to be the one. Do you know if 14th gen would work just the same with TrueNAS Scale?
Hi, fellow Brit in the world cup final yes - the important question I have just got myself for 50 quid a dell t710 recently had a drive die on me - and have a stack of external drives may be can put together 4 x raid 1 in the 8 bays its got a key for win 2008 server like look of jellyfin - my basic prob is am a 10 yr mac man - and i am not sure what to do next - its primary purpose is media storage and serving to other devices in the house - I guess you work in It field - you have a good clear manner of getting across info hence why I thought I would ask the question - I am looking at a minimum of 1 yr use and learning out of this massive box - it needs a monster name - grandsons job its got 16gb ram a bit low and 3 x 300gb and 2 x 600 gb drives I also may strip out of the enclosures other drives to make pairs think i could make a pair 8tb pair 6tb and a pair 3 tb but then have work out what do with data on other drive as one of each will have data to keep - sorry that prob a lot of info - any help appreciated
Why on earth are you using those Noctua fans, when you can get another brand that is away cheaper but also are better? I really don't understand all those people just going out and buy Noctua and not really look into what there else is on the market. For me self, I am using Arctic fans for several years, and never looked back. I am self into buying a motherboard for a media server, and have been looking onto this boar also. So I do want to say many thanks for creating this video!!!!
Built my unRAID server using Intel® Core™ i7-11700 Desktop Processor 8 Cores 65 w with a Asrock H570 steel legend and an LSI card from art of server and I was gonna spring for a dedicated GPU for transcoding but I discovered quiksync and got it working in no time flat w Plex, so i bought a lifetime Plex pass instead. Been looking for this channel and I couldn’t remember your name lol I need some custom sata cables made for my define r5, I looked it up on you last video description
this is so well presented, Alex, I don't get why it got only 4.2k views in 2 months...
Loving the Silicon Valley reference on the wall 😂
I have recently discovered your channel and I really love the videos. Really interesting and entertaining content! Keep it up!

Indeed. I am a little concerned about this and will likely make changes accordingly as more info comes to light
Can you do a whole network tour? I saw in another video that you have an opnsense router I’d be interested in learning more about.
Why are you not wearing an antistatic wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) while touching that motherboard?

@@ktzsystems It seems a lot of the issues people were having have been fixed with the 2.0 bios but I'll still be looking out for that review, thanks.
Hi Alex, great video. How are the temperatures in your 4U? Looks like you're able to use desktop fans in there so I suppose it's not too bad.
I really appreciate how nerdy you were to fully map out your home network. That's really something. A question. Why didn't you buy a non-K 65w variant of the processor? Wouldn't that have been a better option for your use case?

Did that HBA turn out to be OK from your earlier issues, or did you have to get a replacement?
Yes! Thankfully the replacement LSI 16i has been perfect. Must just have gotten a bad one before. So weird.
I'm doing the same build. What CPU cooler are you using?
Nice video, just missing a top cam 😄!
Indeed! I wasn’t going to record and then last minute decided to do it so only had one cam this time.

14th gen are warmed up 13th aren’t they? If so I don’t see why not
