About this deal

I like that they’re working well but I’m worried that I’m not fully getting my money’s worth with this RAM. Any thoughts? New to the X570 boards over the X470 predecessors is the ability to access the BIOS settings themselves via the BMC. On the X570D4I-2T this functionality was partially broken, presenting only a subset of the options available in the full preboot BIOS and never updating the system inventory; on the X570D4U-2L2T the remote BIOS is completely broken, and simply fails to load any functional user interface.

Along the front are four bays for hot-swapping 3.5” or 2.5” SATA drives. This will go a long way for adding capacity while keeping the price down. Assuming you want to max out capacity on this guy, four bays isn’t enough. The good news is that there are three more internal 2.5” bays. These bays are fixed, not swappable, and they too are SATA. This gives users even more options for adding low-cost capacity ideally with 2.5” SSDs or slim HDDs if you must. So, everything has been running great with my Ryzen 5 5600X, 2 x 16GB ECC KSM32ES8/16ME (on QVL), and X570D4U-2L2T…but SLOT5: PCIe4.0 * x1 [FCH] *Supports PCIe3.0 when using AMD Ryzen™ 5000, 4000 and 3000 G-Series Desktop Processors with Radeon™ Graphics

System inventory does not show any data. It shows "Information Not Available". However, when I boot and enter the BIOS via remote control, the CPU as well as the installed RAM is detected correctly. Regarding the FAN problem, I'm trying to set the Fans into a manual mode but no matter which value I enter, the spin with the same RPM ... . Fan settings -> fan mode -> Duty to 20 &"Fan control mode" to manual. Duty 20 and Duty 100 result in the same RPM for the 3 fans ->1200RPM Holes for CPU cooler meant the orientation of a Noctua Cooler had the fans blowing upwards rather than to the rear of the case) For basic functionality though, it works well for remote connect into the server, power it on, and install an OS remotely. For the use cases of the platform that will be perfectly fine for most buyers in this class. Out of band management isn’t something typically found in workstations, so even in this limited form, it’s nice to have. Each SQL Server VM is configured with two vDisks: 100GB volume for boot and a 500GB volume for the database and log files. From a system resource perspective, we configured each VM with 16 vCPUs, 60GB of DRAM and leveraged the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. As others have mentioned, the RAM slots are REALLY close to the CPU. My CPU cooler hangs over the nearest RAM slot so I'm limited to using just 2 of the 4 slots, at least until I go to the trouble of replacing the CPU cooler.In our worst-case scenario (99th-percentile) latency test we saw the server hit an aggregate of 264.5ms with individual VMs 249.2ms to 276.1ms. With the Sysbench OLTP, we recorded an aggregate score of 3,210 TPS across 4 VMs with the individual VMs ranging from 759.3 TPS to 876.6 TPS.

SLOT5: PCIe4.0* x1 [FCH] *Supports PCIe3.0 when using AMD Ryzen™ 5000, 4000 and 3000 G-Series Desktop Processors with Radeon™ GraphicsRAM will only run at 2133MHz despite using 3200Mhz modules. There are no BIOS settings to be able to adjust Whilst there seems to be a lot of bad points, I have managed to overcome all of them, with the exception of the RAM which I hope will be fixed with a BIOS update. It's currently running unRAID booting from the internal USB3 (needed to buy an adapter) with 8 drives in to a SAS controller sitting in the x4 PCIe expansion. unRAID boots to the internal graphics which is nice and I have a R9 Nano for a Windows VM and an old AMD card for Server 2016 VM. I have a USB soundcard in one of the rear USB ports and a small hub in the other for the keyboard and mouse.

I would prefer to have seen even a single USB 2.0 header on the board somewhere, especially on the IO panel, but that does not cause me major heartburn. The KVM is available via HTML5 or Java, and one small perk over the Supermicro HTML5 client is the ability to easily mount CD/DVD ISO media directly from the HTML5 KVM client. Since the inclusion of the BMC is the defining feature of this motherboard, executing this feature well is a must and the solution on the X570D4U-2L2T mostly works well and does not require any additional licensing for full functionality.This is a highly revised review. Originally, I was disappointed by this board due to problems that I was having... inconsistent boot experiences with some outright failures, the BMC not functioning (not taking an IP lease and appearing as an unknown device), and unreadable screen resolution and display problems. Quite awful. The above usage scenario still leaves me with one available open-ended PCIe x4 slot for expansion, which is not bad at all. Populated with 64GB of fast 3200MT/s ECC DDR4 (Kingston p/n# KSM32ED8/32ME), 8C/16T Processor (Ryzen 7 2700), + Adaptec RAID Controller with it’s own dedicated DDR cache memory and SSD cach for hot data provides me with a balanced system. The dedicated RAID offloads the processor, so my system is well positioned to run multiple virtual machines. So, BMC functionality is there and works pretty well, at least the web management interface. SSH allows only a single session at a time and my system thinks it has an existing active session when it does not. Haven't tried sol. The remote KVM works. I have not tried to install an OS onto the server using the BMC but that is supported by the web interface. When I enter the BIOS via the IPMI web Interface, it is not showing any content. I provided the correct credentials into the login mask.
