Building a Powerhouse PC with a $125 SuperMicro Motherboard from eBay!

- Based on your suggestions, today's video dives into a powerhouse build using a $125 SuperMicro motherboard from eBay. I'm pushing its limits by installing a top-tier CPU, maxing out the RAM to 512GB, and filling every SATA slot. Plus, I add a high-performance GPU and dual 10GBe ethernet interfaces. Join me to see if this setup can handle the extreme demands of modern computing applications!

Nice, first time you seemed really happy with your purchase. Yes, it is Supermicro. That's US tech vs China junks before...
Beast mode! would love to see more videos around this server!
I ordered an X10SRH-CF off of ebay for a really good price (mobo+CPU combo for $50) because I had ram sitting around I could use for it. Seller ended up sending me an X11SSH-F by mistake and long story short I ended up with both boards+CPU for $50. Now I just need to figure out what to use the X11 for but I'm sure I can figure something out.
I've worked with SM boards for years, some of them have had quirks (usually fixed with bios update) and X99 is kind of getting old depending on what you want to do exactly (and needing Java for older boards IPMI is a pain) but I'd take a second hand SM board over those cludged together boards any day, glad you finally gave a SM board a try. I know power is much more of an issue in Europe for instance though and the power draw for that system would probably make hardware like that a no go for a lot of people, that said there's nothing wrong with using those Chinese boards (assuming they work properly and are reliable) given some nice QOL features like NVME slots and what not and the fact that the hardware isn't becoming ewaste is probably a good thing.
That board will do 10 SATA with a breakout cable for the 's-sata' port, don't know if that board is as finicky as some other SM boards about cables but the SM part (CBL-0097L-03) is fairly cheap.
I see that you really love plants.. how adorable.
Hallo from Germany. Nice what you doing. This board have an ssf port (same on pcie raid controller) behind the the usb3 port on board. you can connect 4 SAS drive there.
Hallo! Yes, you are correct. I just didn't have any SAS drives lying around and didn't use those ports.
I'm pretty sure even though it's a SAS SFF 8086 connector, it's electrically SATA. Regardless, it would work fine with SATA drives
I am pleasantly surprised that an X99 CPU was able to pass the windows 11 requirements, as it is not mentioned in the list of compatible CPU. Well done for building the fully loaded server board.
Win 11 will work even with 3rd gen intel CPU as long as MB has TPM
Even without TPM, it works as well. An intel copy is an intel cpu. All X64 cpus are functionally equivalent... 😊
@@fteoOpty64 yes if you prepared the USB to bypass the TPM and CPU.
Miyconst channel has Tpm modules and bios . I have that Chinese board with 2 2699 V3 .I have to use push pull on my cooling . That is a nice build.
actually, I think this mobo has 10 sata ports the other 4 ports you get if you have the ssf-8087 to 4x sata splitter cable (can be bought on amazon etc. for 5-10usd)
I bought a whole 2u server in supermicro case with the X10DRH-C motherboard at an auction. Super happy with it for about the same price.
SuperMicro are great board, I've had a couple server built around those boards with zero issues.
We had an issue with these where the IPMI would drop out and require a cold reset on the bmc.
Congratulations on the board. SM boards are great. Two tips: You can generate a OOB license based on the BMCs MAC address. Its nice to be able to flash BIOS from the BMC. You can google the script. Second, if you want to boot of NVME there are some BIOS modifications for injecting NVME support DXEs. I did it on my X10DRU-i its really simple. Enchances the already good value on these boards.
you might be able to boot from nvme if you set the board to uefi only mode, worked on mine but i have slightly different model number and it can be kind of buggy, mine came with 10g nics
There's some other versions of that board from Supermicro that have 3 x16 slots and 3 x8 slots named X10DRi-T. Based on the model number (it has a T at the end) think the board has built in 10Gb ports. There's even a smaller version that fits in an ATX form factor too, the X10DRL-i (but that one only has the 1 x16 slot and no built in 10Gb. IMO the only downside of these boards is I couldn't get mine to boot to NVME drives in PCI riser cards, but I think you can get a modified BIOS that allows NVME boot.
good value - people don't have an idea of how to really use this much power - still could be upgraded to nvme/dual gpu and huge raid arrays = for 1300 you get a lot but eventually these older systems are going to go away - they still have some lifespan left for sure - upgrade to an older threadripper in 3 yrs
Or go to microcenter and get a current gen bundle for cheaper and higher benchmarks and fit majority of home user needs.
I can see this is a good option for some fringe cases but majority of home uses I think it's cheaper and easier to pop into microcenter.
Did you put any thermal paste between the CPU and cooler?
Please note that the Chinese board does not support quad channel ram so eve ff you used all four slots, they are 2 channels each CPU. the supermicro (like every other name brand) supports all 4 channels so essentially much better memory bandwidth.
Great video,really informative, may I know the GB5 scores for this build, sorry if I miss something😊
are you able to post a link to the board you bought so wee can get it please
My 5 year old Ryzen 9 3900x has only 12 cores 24 threads, uses less than half the Power and only one socket and scores 18000 points in Cinebech R23
I'm interested in one of those MBs, what's the link for the eBay store?
I bought it from this store, but there are many similar sellers on eBay: www.ebay.com/str/techypartsllc
Just to throw it out there I've ordered some stuff over the years from that exact ebay seller and never had a problem.
please mail it to me!!! I really need to upgrade my servers, and with that one I'll go from 3 to 1 server
🤣😂😉😇
Sad for me because im from Asia
Ohh man … not at good idea at alll that thing is a power hungry hog😅
VGA port… serial port.. Wow. Is that super high-end technology!?
They are still common in servers in data centers. Mobile crash carts usually have a vga monitor on them.
Dude, Ipmi and serial for Ups control!!!. Yes, tech you cannot understand...
