ASRock AM4 Rack X570D4U-2L2T

Product Information

System inventory does not show any data. It shows "Information Not Available". However, when I boot and enter the BIOS via remote control, the CPU as well as the installed RAM is detected correctly. Looking at performance, we used two SN850 SSDs to get a feel for the peak system capabilities. For our Application Workload Analysis, we did the testing a bit differently using only 2 VMs for SQL Server and then 4 VMs for Sysbench. SQL Server gave us an aggregate average latency of 2ms. For Sysbench we saw aggregate scores of 3,210 TPS, 36.5ms for average latency, and 264.5ms for worst-case scenario latency. The above usage scenario still leaves me with one available open-ended PCIe x4 slot for expansion, which is not bad at all. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. As said in a previous review, there hasn't been a BIOS or BMC update for some time which is disappointing.

The KVM is available via HTML5 or Java, and one small perk over the Supermicro HTML5 client is the ability to easily mount CD/DVD ISO media directly from the HTML5 KVM client. Since the inclusion of the BMC is the defining feature of this motherboard, executing this feature well is a must and the solution on the X570D4U-2L2T mostly works well and does not require any additional licensing for full functionality. With the Sysbench OLTP, we recorded an aggregate score of 3,210 TPS across 4 VMs with the individual VMs ranging from 759.3 TPS to 876.6 TPS. In the mATX form factor, it is good to have 4x DIMM slots, 2x full length PCIe slots (more on this later), and a 4x PCIe slot, as well as 2x M.2 slots, 8x SATA ports, TONS of fan headers, and more miscellaneous pinned headers at the foot than I know what to do with. This board could service a full tower of parts, and again is a little staggering in versatility. For AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors with Radeon Graphics, ECC support is only with Processors with PRO technologies.

write saw a much better start in the latency department being as low as 22.2µs, here the sever went on to peak at 311,441 IOPS and a latency of 790µs before a slight drop off. So, everything has been running great with my Ryzen 5 5600X, 2 x 16GB ECC KSM32ES8/16ME (on QVL), and X570D4U-2L2T…but I like that they’re working well but I’m worried that I’m not fully getting my money’s worth with this RAM. Any thoughts? Regarding the FAN problem, I'm trying to set the Fans into a manual mode but no matter which value I enter, the spin with the same RPM ... . Fan settings -> fan mode -> Duty to 20 &"Fan control mode" to manual. Duty 20 and Duty 100 result in the same RPM for the 3 fans ->1200RPM

Each Sysbench VM is configured with three vDisks: one for boot (~92GB), one with the pre-built database (~447GB), and the third for the database under test (270GB). From a system resource perspective, we configured each VM with 16 vCPUs, 60GB of DRAM and leveraged the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller. Each SQL Server VM is configured with two vDisks: 100GB volume for boot and a 500GB volume for the database and log files. From a system resource perspective, we configured each VM with 16 vCPUs, 60GB of DRAM and leveraged the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller. So, BMC functionality is there and works pretty well, at least the web management interface. SSH allows only a single session at a time and my system thinks it has an existing active session when it does not. Haven't tried sol. The remote KVM works. I have not tried to install an OS onto the server using the BMC but that is supported by the web interface. I needed a board to run unRAID as a file server and as well as hosting a VM or two. A board capable of taking two graphics cards, a x4 SAS controller and the ability to remote admin. AMD CPU's are great value at the time of writing and following an upgrade had a R7 2700X to use - So this board fitted the bill.Along the front are four bays for hot-swapping 3.5” or 2.5” SATA drives. This will go a long way for adding capacity while keeping the price down. Assuming you want to max out capacity on this guy, four bays isn’t enough. The good news is that there are three more internal 2.5” bays. These bays are fixed, not swappable, and they too are SATA. This gives users even more options for adding low-cost capacity ideally with 2.5” SSDs or slim HDDs if you must. Since this is based on Ryzen, it is a single NUMA node design. AMD EPYC 7001 8-core servers, such as those based on the AMD EPYC 7251 had four NUMA nodes which created a lot of inter-die traffic. With Ryzen, one does not have to worry about that on these lower-cost platforms. New to the X570 boards over the X470 predecessors is the ability to access the BIOS settings themselves via the BMC. On the X570D4I-2T this functionality was partially broken, presenting only a subset of the options available in the full preboot BIOS and never updating the system inventory; on the X570D4U-2L2T the remote BIOS is completely broken, and simply fails to load any functional user interface. I’ll look into a better LSI HBA option…open to recommendations as I can’t say I am very familiar with their line. That was supposed to read LSI 9207 by the way – sorry for the typo! Or maybe I just use a breakout cable on the second port of that card with SFF-8087 to SATA so I can pass through some SATA SSDs…not sure if there is a way to pass through NVME that way. I just recently installed a X570D4U with a Ryzen R7 3800X. Everything is working fine (running Unraid on it) except the IPMI is not really working correctly or I missed something.

Whilst there seems to be a lot of bad points, I have managed to overcome all of them, with the exception of the RAM which I hope will be fixed with a BIOS update. Populated with 64GB of fast 3200MT/s ECC DDR4 (Kingston p/n# KSM32ED8/32ME), 8C/16T Processor (Ryzen 7 2700), + Adaptec RAID Controller with it’s own dedicated DDR cache memory and SSD cach for hot data provides me with a balanced system. The dedicated RAID offloads the processor, so my system is well positioned to run multiple virtual machines. This board draws power efficiently, idling with a GTX 1660 super, 4x enterprise SAS hard drives, 2x NVME drives, 2x SSDs, a Ryzen 5 1600, 2x fans, and a AIO CPU cooler at a mere 40 watts. Its chipset handles heat well: I have seen 0 meaningful throttling at hot-but-not-alarming temperatures. Second, the electronics. The primary and secondary PCIe slots share 16x worth of lanes. This is absurd! If you have anything plugged into the second 16x slot, all 8x of its power is robbed from the primary 16x slot, and not from the 4x where you might expect. This means that you have to choose between your GPU getting its full bandwidth and power OR running an expansion card on the secondary physical 16x lane and having both cards operate at 8x power. This is a massive flaw in my opinion, even if it only affects some users. I cannot think of a good reason why the lanes are allocated like this rather than isolating the primary 16x lane and netting a little extra power to split 12x across the remaining slots. I would prefer to have seen even a single USB 2.0 header on the board somewhere, especially on the IO panel, but that does not cause me major heartburn.As others have mentioned, the RAM slots are REALLY close to the CPU. My CPU cooler hangs over the nearest RAM slot so I'm limited to using just 2 of the 4 slots, at least until I go to the trouble of replacing the CPU cooler.
