About this deal

For Intel's W680 chipset launch, Supermicro has listed two motherboards designed around the new chipset. This includes the X13SAE and the X13SAE-Fmotherboards. These models are ATX in size and include support for DDR5-4400 memory, both ECC and non-ECC DRAM types.

Both the IMB-X1233-WV and IMB-X1231 ITX sized offerings allow support for Alder Lake-S processors with a maximum TDP of 65 W, while the micro-ATX IMB-X1314 and ATX IMB-X1712 enable users to use processors with a base TDP of up to 125 W. Support and compatibility here are aligned and determined by the base frequency TDP rating on these models. Artificial Intelligence Use : Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, Machine Learning, Machine VisionEnter the Intel W680 chipset, which is Intel's designated workstation chipset for its 12th Gen Core platform. The Intel W680 chipset is interesting for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that that it formally opens up ECC memory support for Intel's Alder Lake-S desktop processors.

I would like to have ECC on my next build. One choice would be an Ryzen 9 7900 (non-X) with an Asus AM5 motherboard, another would be this Supermicro X13SAE with a Intel 13700. I like the very long term support that supermicro has (BIOS upgrades and so on), but i think that the 13900 or even the 13700 could be too much power hungry for this board. It is supposed to support up to 125 TDP CPU with up to 8P+8E cores. The heatsink on VRM are very small (if we compare them to other motherboards VRM’s heatsink). Intel® 14th/13th/12th Gen (Raptor Lake-S Refresh/Raptor Lake-S/Alder Lake-S) Core™ Processors, up to 65W For other LGA1700 options such as Z690 motherboards, belowwe havea list of our detailed Intel Alder Lakecoverage: I’d rather prefer a DDR4-3200 ECC board, because those DIMMs are relatively easy to get and I might just lend it half of the 128GB I have in my Ryzen 5950X for a while.Design | Develop | Test | Manufacture With over three decades of experience in designing custom industrial and embedded computer and display solutions across a wide array of industries, we’re here to turn your ideas into reality Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers.

Memory support is currently limited to 4x 32GB or 128GB of total memory, though it is possible that the system might eventually support more if 64GB unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs are ever released.

USB Revision

Intel® 14th/13th/12th Gen (Raptor Lake-S Refresh/Raptor Lake-S/Alder Lake-S) Core™ Processors, up to 125W But while the Intel's Xeon E-3300-series processors and Intel's W680 platform are getting closer, we still have little idea about what to expect from new CPUs and chipset. Early leaks indicated that the new entry-level server/workstation platform will offer up to 16 CPU cores with TDPs of 35 W, 65 W and 125 W. Meanwhile, we have no idea whether Intel intends to enable AVX-512 support on its upcoming Xeon E-3300-series processors, or will keep it disabled, like it does with 12thGeneration Core CPUs.

Apparently so. I followed the links to scrutinize the specs and search for a catch, but they don't even mention Xeon! If using PCIEx8/x16 card on PCIE2/PCIE4 slot, M.2 Key M2(M2_M2) and M.2 Key E(M2_E1) are limited to install. Intel® Standard Manageability requires activation and a system with a corporate network connection, an Intel® ME Firmware-enabled chipset, network hardware and software. For notebooks, Intel® ME Firmware may be unavailable or limited over a host OS-based VPN, when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. Results dependent upon hardware, setup & configuration. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt I might actually be tempted to just go with a 58003D instead to offset the slower DRAM, even if this board is really more about juggling VMs. On one hand I want the responsiveness of high turbos, on the other hand this server of mine is designed for quiet and low power idle as it runs 24×7. In testing the X13SAE, we had no issues setting it up with our 12900K and basic kit of DDR5. Without XMP support, our 6000MHz kit of memory loaded up at 4400MHz at CL36. This gave us lower than normal performance in the benchmarks tested compared to our Z690 testing.There is a somewhat similar one from Gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.com/Press/News/1984, that seems slightly better in terms of availability, but with no Raptor Lake commitment currently. CPU thermal trip support for processor protection, Control of power-on for recovery from AC power loss, Chassis intrusion detection, ATX Power connector, ACPI power management, 8-pin 12v DC power connector I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/zmrlnn/old_and_new_workstation/. (The new workstation is now at the 3 monitor table, unlike the picture.) I wish they’d add a proper 10Gbit NIC already (it seems the board is prepared for it), but at least the x4 slot is open ended and a good fit for an ACQ107 or 113.
