How is your build with the Supermicro A1SAI-2750F?
I'm very happy with mine. Huge upgrade over my previous system.
I was running an AMD based system with 8GB RAM. I don't know if the bottleneck was the CPU, RAM (I now have 16GB) or nic. But, I've seen a significant performance increase on transfers. Also, I no longer have any kind of USB reboot issues. It just feels more solid.
The Supermicro documentation is a little lacking in some areas. IPMI in particular is a bit vague. I'm in the habit of setting long passwords for security. Their BMC has a weird password length limit (19 characters). The interface doesn't tell you that or raise an error if you exceed it. So, that caused some confusion when I tried to set a 20 character pass and didn't realize it had been truncated. From there, resetting the passwords in IPMI was new to me and burned a few a hours.
Anyway, I highly recommend this board.
