I just did a new build using this particular motherboard. The boot sequence hangs with code F6 on the motherboard LED. I upgraded the bios to the latest version, and I ran a successful memtest in additional to removing all devices.

 

The odd thing is is that if I boot into the bios setup before the machine posts and then exit the system will continue and boot normally into unraid. however if I just do a reboot, the system will hang with the F6 code.

 

I had this, too. And IIRC F6 is an unassigned code in the manual? I don't remember how it resolved, though.

 

Did you turn off fast boot?

I wanted to follow up on my recent build experience with this board. For reference, I have the ATX version. 

 

I installed:

- Intel 14500k

- Arctic Freezer 36 cooler

- 64gb Kingston ECC ram

- 2 2TB nvme

- 4 18tb HDD

- IPMI card

All in a Fractal Meshify Case

 

Everything went pretty smooth. The BMC is a little janky, but it works well for what I need. 

 

Both NVMEs are formatted ZFS and snapshotting to a single ZFS hdd as per SpaceInvaderOne's videos. Other disks are xfs.

 

I also have it working with plex without blacklisting the ast. I installed the intel driver plugin and GPU stats plugin in unraid and I passed /dev/dri through to the container. It seems to be working fine.

 

Plex was my first test. Going to dive into home assistant, tailscale, syncthing, and nextcloud next.

 

Overall pretty happy as a new user to unraid!

I also plan to buy the board and would like to pass my graphics card from one of the PCIe 5.0 slots to my VDI. This naturally rules out both slots, leaving only the two PCIe 3.0 Mode x4 slots. However, I still need space for an HBA LSI 9201-16i PCIe 2.0 x8. Would it still function properly in one of the PCIe 3.0 slots, or should I perhaps consider opting for an LSI 9600 series instead?

 

Are you ruling out both PCIe 5.0 slots solely due to the height of the card? You might be able to find a riser cable to make both slots accessible.

Hi all,

 

I’m about ready to pull the trigger on this motherboard but I wanted to clarify one thing about the ongoing ast issue before I do. This is only an issue if I need the IPMI to control the unraid CLI, right? Otherwise I can use the web interface without issue? Are there any other limitations currently?

 

Thank you!
