mITX motherboard recommendation

[jeschke]

Hi all,

I am struggling to decide for the right MB for my new proxmox setup:

My use case/ requirements are pretty general - nothing too special:

• 5-10 VM's (NAS, Nextcloud, testing/development)
• 5-10 CT's (PiHole, Reverse Proxy, Webservers etc)
• low TDP
• use case will not significaly change within the next 5y
• 6x SATA should be fine and 10GbE won't be too important the next years...

Both boards below should easily be able match requirements.

What is more important in the end, more cores or more power per core?


Option 1: Supermicro A2SDi-16C-HLN4F (Intel Atom C3955)

• 16 Cores /16 Threads
• cpubenchmark ~6500
• 32W TDP
• 12x SATA
• 4x NIC
• IPMI

Option 2: Supermicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN4F (Intel Xeon D-1528)

• 6 Cores / 12 Threads
• cpubenchmark 8210
• 35W TDP
• 6x SATA
• 4x NIC (2x 10GbE)
• IPMI

Option 3: ?


Thanks for any hint!

Hi Wolfgang,

thanks for the hint!

Unfortunately the first one is not available in the moment (at least I couldn't find any reseller) and I have read some unpleasant infos re the X570 chipset.

I am however getting closer to a decision by exchanging Option 1 with a new Option 3. Disadvantage in my view is the "high" TDP as noise is still a factor!

Option 2: Supermicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN4F (Intel Xeon D-1528)
and a new...

Option 3: Asrock X470D4U2-2T & AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

• 8 Cores / 16 Threads
• cpubenchmark 23833
• 65W tdp
• 6x SATA
• 4x NIC (2x 10GbE)
• IPMI

Just to provide feedback:
I went for Option 2: Supermicro X10SDV-6C+-TLN4F (Intel Xeon D-1528) as I could get one (new) for 380€
