Overclocking
Experience with the Supermicro X11SRA
Seeing as how the Xeon-W based processors are locked, overclocking will have to come from raising the BCLK only. The X11SRA BIOS does not have any BCLK or voltage adjustments needed to overclock. What Intel gives is what you get. If you would like to overclock as well as get the benefit of many cores and threads, the X299 platform will be the way to go.
The BIOS has no frequency adjustment options. None. Zip. Nil. As expected.

No Ryzen to buy IntelPsycho_McCrazy - Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - link
So many X299 mobo reviews and now a WS one, so niche.Spare a thought for us mortals looking for AM4 B350 boards. Mini ITX AM4 mobo reviews anyone?

Gaming charts are almost useless for me, i want to see comparision with 7820x and 8700K.. I now that gaming performance wouldnt be better, but not everybody have enough money and room for separated gaming and working PC..bill.rookard - Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - link
Well, that sucks. It used to be that you could buy some regular boards, and eventually through server replacements get a hold of Xeons on the secondary used market. These are actually quite useful, and decently powerful.Now, server motherboards and chipsets will be required. Grr....

im in the market for a new workstation. I would like to see this motherboard compared to the Asus WS C422 pro/se. build will be used for developement/db work and to run VMs. plan is for 128 g memory and xeon w-2155. the only other available board only supports 64 G memory i think.stanbessami - Thursday, December 6, 2018 - link
Excellent scalability, full support for the Broadwell-EP family up to E5-2699 v4 from BIOS 2.0. There are all modern and really necessary connectors. Technical support manufacturer, fresh bios.All stores indicate in the description that the memory is only ECC REG, but this is not the case, it works fine with regular 2133 boards. Really effective energy saving options specified in the specification. Power, reliability, a decent manufacturer in its segment "SUPERMICRO". Price = quality. By the way, I write argumentative essays and reviews for https://writemyessayonline.com/, where you will also find a lot of useful information, as well as be able to order any paperwork.

Maybe IPMI isn't a requirement in a workstation class board, but it sure would be nice especially at this price. My X10 Supermicro server board was only about $220 and has IPMI. It would be a nice distinguisher in this space.charliejoe752 - Tuesday, July 16, 2019 - link
