Hey folks,
I'm just sharing my experience with the Supermicro X11SDV-4C-TP8F :)
Currently there are
The board is working great. Nothing negative to report. The only thing is: heat. CPU has a passive cooling system. It was overheating like 5mins after booting up - wrong case (Fractal Design Define R6) and wrong environment. Used a Noctua fan temporarily with zip ties to keep temp low. After some writing with the Supermicro support, I got the part number of the active CPU cooler from another X11SDV (see list above). Now CPU temp is at about 32-35°C, System at ~40°C - no datacenter or any active cooling of the room.
The board replaced a X10SRL-F with an E5-1620v4 (FreeNAS 11.1-U7).
This build is just for testing. The production system seems to be a 8C board, 128GB RAM, 10G connections, Intel DC P3700 and 16x Samsung 860 Evo 1TB.
Yes, expansion slots and CPU replacement are limited. But with PCIe SSD (SLOG), external storage cases, the right HBA and expanders, it will saturate any of my (currently planned and future) needs.
