March 19, 201313 yr Author I have a V1 CPU, I knew there was an issue with them, the bios and pass thru. so I purchased a V1 CPU.
March 19, 201313 yr Have you attempted different memory sticks? I ask because I had a similar issue although with a gigabyte MB and turned out that my ram went bad and would not post most of the time, but did manage to post once or twice. Replaced with a new stick and has been problem free since.

I ask because I had a similar issue although with a gigabyte MB and turned out that my ram went bad and would not post most of the time, but did manage to post once or twice. Replaced with a new stick and has been problem free since. I had 4 sticks of recommended ram. I tried all sorts of combinations. I do not have other ram to try.
March 31, 201313 yr Author The new board is working fine with the Corsair HX750 PSU. There are a couple of beeps upon power up, but then it boots to spash, shows IPMI initializing, reboots, beeps, then starts the normal post. So far so good. I'm able to scrape off the data on the RAID0/RAID1 hybrid setup I had with the areca controller. Man that was a pain, I couldn't get my critical data off this array until I bought a card and set up a whole server. While I did have a back up to an SSD.. that just so happen to be at the bottom of the server and was underwater. *sigh*. Anyway. Today's a good day to unRAID!
April 5, 201313 yr Author I can confirm that the X9SCM-F-O works with the Seasonic X650 also. I choose the X650 for a smaller build to support a max of 8-9 drives, possibly 12 with 2 SSD's. I choose the HX750 for a medium build to support a max of 12 drives, possibly 14 with 2 SSD's. Granted these are more powerful then required, But they came with modular SATA power ports with the required number of connectors I needed for each build. The HX(+12V@62A) with 8 x Peripheral, 12 x SATA could easily support 20 drives and the X650(+12V@54A), with 8 x Peripheral, 8 x SATA could easily support 16 drives. So that leaves the following tested and working. SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold ((SS-650KM Active PFC F3)) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088 CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010
April 5, 201313 yr Author So in the end, the first mobo was just bad? Yes. I had problems from the moment I tried to boot it.
April 19, 201313 yr I'm looking to get the SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O. I'm almost certain one of these PSUs will work, but what do you think between the SeaSonic SS-400FL2 400W, SeaSonic SS-520FL 520W, and KINGWIN STR-500 500W / Rosewill SilentNight Series SilentNight-500 500W
April 19, 201313 yr Author How many drives? What CPU? What case? What will you be adding onto the machine? Currently, I'm not a fan of fanless PSU's. (now that's a pun and a half). Point is, something needs to move air across a heatsink and expel it out of the case. Knowing my purchase patterns, I would go with the Seasonic 520. I think someone else on the board used the Kingwin 500.

I think someone else on the board used the Kingwin 500. I think I've settled on the Seasonic SSR-450RM ATX 12V/EPS 12V 450-Watt 80 Plus Gold actually. Cheaper and has a fan. For starters, I'm only going to run three WD reds with future plans of expanding but most likely not beyond 7 or 8 drives. MY CPU will be the Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz on the SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O motherboard.
April 19, 201313 yr Author From the manual. 1-6 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connector located at JPW2 is also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. Warning! Please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin or a 4-pin power connector. Be sure to connect these connectors to the 24- pin (JPW1) and the 8-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the motherboard. Note: The JPW2 power connector on the motherboard also supports one 4-pin connector. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

From what I can tell, the SeaSonic SSR-450RM 450W meets those requirements, but I might be missing something that I'm not knowledgeable enough to catch yet.
April 20, 201313 yr Author It seems to meet those requirements. Let us know how you make out. 1 x 20+4pin main connector 1 x 4+4pin CPU 2 x 6+2pin PCI-E 5 x peripheral 6 x SATA 2 x floppy +3.3V@20A, +5V@20A, +12V@37A, [email protected], [email protected] http://www.seasonicusa.com/G-series-450-550-650.htm
