My last Server-Board was an Asrock X570M Pro4. This Board had an issue with powering on and energy saving options so i returned it for a replacement. In the meantime i decided to buy me a more suitable board, the ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE, which is designed for a more professional work environment having 3 PCI-E 4.0 x8 Slots. Currently i have a RTX2060, my SAS Host Adapter and my 10Gbit network card on it. So far it runs stable. A minor issue so far: If i insert a graphics card and have no monitor attached to it, the onboard speaker reports an error beeping 1x long and 3x short, which signals a problem with the graphics card. You can change the BIOS config to not halt on errors (and wait for pressing F1 key) and continue. This unfortunately does not change the beep behavior. If I’m happy with the stability and the configuration i will run it headless, without a graphics card (i will come back to this later…).
