THIS is the main difference between server and PC motherboards!

- Server motherboards aren't that different to PC motherboards, but there is one crucial port (called IPMI) that nobody seems to talk about, so I decided to make a video about it.
The motherboard in the video: www.supermicro...

I love the fact that you actually say it at the beginning of the video. No clickbait, you genuinely want to tell people "This is what makes server motherboards different from PC motherboards."
Although I should mention, not every server motherboard actually has an IPMI port. Gigabyte sells them without IPMI.
Thank you! Yeah, there’s always exceptions, although I do also have a dual-socket Gigabyte mobo and it does have an IPMI.
i just realized that my pc has 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6140 CPU's that are literally meant for servers and it has 256 gigs of DDR4 but it has a GPU from like 10 years ago I think. bottleneck lol
I am trying to build a 3u server rack with truenas. My goal is to have 10 bays but would like to run some VM as well. Do you recommend amd vs intel chip? And what motherboard would to recommend as well? Thanks
For the layman and beginning IT afficionado, this content is OK. This content is less valuable by way of some generalizations are simply inaccurate for those more experienced.
Is there a decent way to add IPMI to a workstation or consumer grade motherboard? That sounds like it would be useful on a NAS

Yep, PiKVM, guys at LTT have made a great video about it. th-cam.com/video/232opnNPGNo/w-d-xo.html
IP KVM solution aside (which also seems like the reasonable route to me), I'd be interested in the feasibility of this from a theoretical perspective. I would think it would have been doable back in the 80s and early 90s, when mainboards and ISA-like buses were acting more like a backplane compared to modern systems. PSUs were unmanaged, etc. But nowadays... I don't think so.
Please do explain how to set it up.
He mentioned DHCP, which is the easiest route without manual configuration. Find out the address from the lease table on the DHCP server (i.e. router/gateway), and access it from a web browser. For production use, you will want to use static adressing or DHCP reservations to manage your address space, just like for regular (customer facing) ports. And use separate network segments / VLANs for regular network traffic and management purpose.
Servers like noise, it increases the clock speed
Great content! Thanks.
Hmm, servers are becoming interesting to me. I want to move my video game project to a online state. So I figured, I'd host my own server for it. So how would that work with a server specified hardware? Currently I obtained my moms old work pc. It's a win 7 era machine. But surprisingly performant for networking tasks. Its a Dell Optiplex. I wanted to upgrade the RAM on it, so I bought 16gb of ram only to find out, that I bought the server grade memory, which is fully buffered and has a different notch alignment. Now I am thinking, what should I do, keep the ram and get a server motherboard? Or should I simply just get the unbuffered modules?
..this is how I ended up watching your informative video!
My first video. Very nice setup / background. Nice little motherboard. I also love and have 1 Super Micro but it's not so micro. It's 4U.
We need the browser tutorial video please 😂
Thank you for saving my time. I deeply appreciate that.
Happy to help!
Great video
Dekuji moc Tomaše!
i may not speak your native language, but the accent is pretty nice, just gotta keep learning on forming words more fluently and you'll be pristine! thumbs up!
Thanks, I've had a lot of practice in my previous business, but I still haven't gotten over stage fright here on TH-cam. I will, with time and practice, I hope haha.
zakaj snemaš v angleščini
Ker jo razume vec ljudi
@@tomazzaman Res je da jo razume več ljudi, ampak bi blo nice, da bi imeli SLO "LTT" 😊, ki bi govoru v slovenščini.
