You know, this motherboard expects you to have ECC RAM. I think an X9 board will tolerate non-ECC RAM (an X10 won't), but theoretically you can't just replace the board without probably upgrading to ECC RAM. You are going to a server grade motherboard.SuperMicro X9SCL
Anyway, what you'll "get" for the "upgrade" is a server-grade chipset (designed for stability and reliability) rather than a gamer-grade chipset (designed for overclocking, and handling all the other bullshit), the motherboard won't have extraneous things (audio, etc.) that are not relevant for a server, and you'll now have a chipset which expects ECC RAM. This is the "right way" to run a server like FreeNAS, if data integrity is your goal.
