In the X8SIL Supermicro appear to have created the near ideal server board for the home user. I have one myself and cannot fault it, a significant achievement.
Given the popularity of the motherboard, and the inevitable questions such popularity brings I thought it would be useful to start a resource thread.
I am happy to be custodian of the thread, my way of giving a little bit back to the community.
If a resource thread for the motherboard will be useful I was thinking of organising the reserved posts something along the lines of....
This post = Manufacturers specification and resources. (BIOS updates, manual links etc)
Reserved 1 = Non-Supermicro Resources ....links to compatible memory, web reviews
Reserved 2 = Build logs
Reserved 3 = Index to specific questions ....might be useful as a FAQ
Reserved 4 = Links to other threads /forums
Reserved 5 = User questions for answering within this thread (probably easiest to PM these to me.)
....
....
A thought process in progress, let me know if the idea is a load of rubbish.
