I’d love to know what kind of idle power draw you get out of that EPYC4000D4U. Without the chipset it could be surprisingly good.

But BMC adds to power as well. It has the newer AST2600 with dual ARM cores and is supposedly way lower power draw. My X570 with AST2500 uses 8W on stand-by. And the x570 chipset needs active cooling, runs very hot (=uses power).
I will post stand-by and idle for board+cpu+memory once I get the CPU cooler and can finally start building the stuff. I expect 5-10W saving with newer BMC and without chipset compared to my X570 board. It all adds up after all and saving Watts is a nice side benefit I gladly take.
I’m still waiting on 80mm case fans and the Noctua L9x65 CPU cooler, . Can’t really do much without them 
Sneak peek on stuff piling up, just waiting to push GB/s (case, drives and NICs):

Man if that Windows driver was more friendly to use…
But what I use CEPH for it’s actually not so bad really. I can deal with a bit of hit in performance honestly. It’s a catch all for all my downloads for when I install stuff on all of my boxes (and VMs).
But man I like what your doing. Deff following to see what you will end up with after it’s all said and done.
