We are building a company backup server which will also be transcoding video (we would like quicksync support), running multiple jails, and potentially virtual machines. We've been having trouble finding an appropriate Micro-ATX Supermicro motherboard, as well as processor.
We were hoping to get something along the lines of a 6 core / 12thread or 8core / 16 thread E5, since currently FreeNAS 11.3 does not support 8th/9th gen intel processors. So an issue is that only the lower end E3 processors support an iGPU, are there any alternatives?
So is what we are trying to do possible with a currently supported Supermicro motherboard?
The alternative would be waiting and getting something similar to an X11SCL-F or X11SCH-F with one of the following:
Xeon® E-2278G
Xeon® E-2276G
Xeon® E-2186G
Xeon® E-2186M
The other thing is it's not explicitly mentioned anywhere if they're motherboard support iGPUs, I would assume it wouldn't be a problem, but has anyone had success with any super micro motherboards using a CPU with an iGPU?
The only information I could family directly from Supermicro was this product brief, but it doesn't look like the options they mentioned there would be suitable.
