Intel Socket 1151 Motherboards with IPMI AND Support for iGPU
I am interested in upgrading my server with a Xeon E-2278G CPU (they are finally beginning to appear in retail channels) which has an iGPU for video transcoding. I am also interested in a server board with IPMI. On many such boards, the BIOS does not support the iGPU when IPMI is active via the AST2X00 BMC with video output to a VGA port or JAVA/HTML5 console.
From this thread about the Supermicro X11SCA-F, we know that this board does support both IPMI and the use of the iGPU for
And the results of one more test, power utilization with the system connected to a Kill A Watt meter:
During system boot - 60 W - 95W
System completed boot up and sitting at the unRAID GUI with all (5) HDDs spun up - 66W
System at idle with all HDDs spun down - 40W
During Parity Check (90 minutes in) - 80W - 90W with a max CPU temp of 42C and HDD temps between 34C and 39C
While transcoding three movies simultaneously - 75W - 80W with a max CPU temp of 38C
