Brother man, thank you for posting the video’s about the motherboard,
it was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to enter the Avago menu in the BIOS and configure the two RAID drive groups needed.
I lied, it was for a work project, thank you for giving an honest answer.
Thank you Wendell and for all the great video’s.
It took 5 minutes to load Windows Server Standard 2019.
Hottest temperature was on the 10 Gbit port chip, 37 degrees C.
VRM’s running at 31 C
I can kick up fan speeds if needed. I got an expansion slot fan bracket,
have two 120 mm Noctua fans pointed at the RAID controller card.
Two 140 mm fans on the Noctua SP3 cooler. 8 Noctua intake fans, 4 Noctua exhaust fans. All in a Phanteks Enthoo Primo PH-ES813P_WT White case.
I have two drive enclosures, fans on them as well.
16 core EPYC 7302P - 128 GB RAM - way more than we needed, going to be running M1 and a SQL database on RAID 10 - Windows on RAID 1 - two global hot spares.
8 Seagate Exos 15E900 900GB 15K RPM 512n SAS drives.
