AMD Mobo with IPMI(KVM) where to find it?

[vl1969]

OK here is an interesting question that I still researching and would appreciate any help or suggestions.

 

here is the story...

 

I have built an unRaid server using ASUS  M5A87  MB(nore details is in my signature.)

it is a good board but a bit of an overkill for what I need.

now my Main PC is went down (it is an HP multimedia PC which is also AMD based)

so I think that I might need to replace a MB in it as all my test so far point to a faulty USB controller on the MB and there are couple if other issues that might show the need to replace MB on it.

so I am thinking that  maybe I would find a server board for my unRaid instead and reuse the one in there now for my desktop.

 

thus here is the question:

 

Can anyone recommend  AMD based MB (I want to reuse my CPU)

with specs close to M5A87

1. AM3+ socket

2. DDR3 RAM upto PC1600 speed (this is the RAM I already have)

3. 6+ SATA 2 and/or 3 connectors

 

4...  IPMI/KVM support on board

 

I am still in my research mode for this one, and I have been reading MB specks left and right

but nothing useful as of yet.

plus I  though that some one here might have already be using something like this so I know it is unRaid friendly.

 

thanks.

 

 

EDIT:

well can anyone recommend ANY MB (Intel or AMD)  that have specs above

for a reasonable price.

also can I reuse the RAM? or server type MB will require ECC RAM?

 

thanks

AMD + IPMI usually = Opteron = G34 or C32 socket...

So, no CPU reuse?!

 

damn.....

Most server class motherboards don't support DDR3 1600 RAM.  Typically they max out at DDR3 1066 or 1333.  It may be possible to run your 1600 RAM at a lower clock speed, but I'm not too confident that will work out in the long run.  Since RAM is one of the cheapest components anyway, I don't let this restriction sway your purchasing decisions too much.

 

If you are in the US, look at Supermicro motherboards.  My go-to board is the X8SIL-F-O.  The X9SCM-F-O is another popular choice for 2nd gen i3 processors.  Both have IPMI.  Supermicro boards are notoriously picky about RAM, so choose something off the approved list from either Supermicro or the RAM manufacturer.
