I've had a couple series of unexpected and unexplainable reboots lately.

The only sign leading to a reboot in logs would be:
Code:
Oct  3 06:50:04 freenas ipmi0: KCS error: 5f
Oct  3 06:50:04 freenas ipmi0: Failed to set watchdog
Oct  3 06:50:10 freenas ipmi0: KCS: Failed to read address

Oct  3 06:50:16 freenas ipmi0: KCS error: 5f
Oct  3 06:50:22 freenas ipmi0: KCS: Failed to read address
Oct  3 06:50:22 freenas ipmi0: KCS error: 5f
Oct  3 06:50:22 freenas ipmi0: Failed to set watchdog
Oct  3 06:50:38 freenas ipmi0: KCS: Failed to read address
Oct  3 06:50:38 freenas ipmi0: KCS error: 5f
Oct  3 06:50:42 freenas ipmi0: KCS: Reply address mismatch
Oct  3 06:50:42 freenas ipmi0: KCS error: 5f


Anyway, I'm starting to look for a replacement, the sooner the better, and I've parsed the hardware recommendation in https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/

I have a chassis tat support the Mini ITX format, and 16GB of DDR3 ECC 1600 SDRAM, both of which I'd like to keep using as much as possible.
And with this as a requirement, I basically have no option but to buy my actual motherboard again! But as the hardware guide says, it's become long in the tooth.

I just thought I'd ask what people think here before making the choice of keeping the same old model (that just works fine for my needs) or invest in new SDRAM and/or chassis.

Supermicro boards have a good reputation for such purposes and they do have Mini ITX ones. I would check ebay for what is available (with DDR3) and take it from there
