@SofcsoHow did you update the Intel ME version, last time i had to boot into bare-metal windows. Do you have another update method.

@OmidDoes your HBA show up under the Advanced tab in the bios. Try the following (use the remote window of the IPMI software) for easy monitoring at reboot. Before "Save configuration and reboot" remove any connection to all the graphics cards, Let Unraid boot and plug in VGA to IMPI card after Unraid is started, this solved the iGPU issue for me.

I use the Noctua NH-U12A with Thermalright Contact Frame on i9-13900T. And the IPMI card fits in the first slot. In many cases the NH-U12A perform beter then NH-D15.

Looks like manually set it to 4800MT/s works, no issues yet.

I run 4x32GB Kingston KSM48E40BD8KM-32HM on a WS W680-ACE IPMI, the board will sett the modules automatically to to 4200.

I did some digging and found that the main difference between I226-LM and I226-V is that the I226-LM supports Intel vPro® for windows and Intel® SIPP, 802.1AS-rev, and Time Sensitive Networking in Linux while the I226-V does not.

Hello everyone, I'm considering purchasing the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard for my upcoming build, and I wanted to gather some information regarding its onboard Ethernet controller. I've heard there have been some issues reported with Intel Ethernet i226-V, which is commonly used on motherboards. Can anyone confirm which Ethernet controller is integrated into the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard? I'd like to know if it uses the Intel Ethernet i226-V or a different controller. Additionally, if anyone has experience with this motherboard, could you please share whether you've encountered any problems with the Ethernet connection? I'm particularly interested in learning if there have been any connection drop issues or if everything has been running smoothly. Your insights and feedback would be greatly appreciated, as they will help me make an informed decision about my motherboard purchase. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Works with Win11_22H2_English_x64v1.iso from official MS download center 1. Shift + F10. A command prompt appears. 2. Type OOBE\BYPASSNRO to disable the Internet connection requirement.
