Review on πŸ–₯️ AsRock Rack X470D4U Micro ATX Server Motherboard: AM4 Ryzen & Ryzen 7nm PGA1331 AMD X470 by Cesar Hubbard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

With the new BIOS (3.33) everything is perfect!

- Comes with BIOS new enough to support 3rd Gen Ryzen processors out of the box. - Has an amazingly useful IPMI (out of band management) system that has saved my ass a few times by allowing me to manage a server remotely. - Supports I/O/MMU, ACS, virtualization and all other useful enterprise-level features that greatly simplify the work of virtual machines. I'm currently running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2019 with 6 VMs. One of these VMs has GPU passthrough with DDA to my Plex server for hardware transcoding. It works great with the Quadro M2000. Asrock Rack's support was excellent - they helped me fix my PCIe passthrough that wasn't working due to a BIOS issue. They even sent me a beta BIOS (v3.33) to fix my problem ahead of the scheduled release. All in all, this works great for a prosumer board and meets all my needs.
