Just wondering what the feeling is on this board because ordered two of these (second as a replacement for the first) and both have been (sort of) DOA - the board refuses to POST when the 8-PIN CPU Power Connector is attached. SuperMicro support were not able to work it out, I've tried swapping out CPU, Memory etc - I am getting another Power Supply to try though I have pretty good confidence in the Thermaltake PSU I have.
Anyhow - not here to troubleshoot the board - just to judge the feeling over whether the board is generally reliable or if I am just really unlucky getting two faulty boards in a row. Unfortunately I am a long way detached from supply chains so returns etc are troublesome at best.
Wondering if something like a Gigabyte C246M-WU4 might not be a better gamble for my next attempt.
