Details on the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI board
The technical details for the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI board indicate support for Intel Socket LGA1700 with 13th Gen and 12th Gen Intel Core processors. Regarding memory, it appears to recommend DDR5 4800 MT/s but emphasizes stability over aggressive overclocking. For your concern about DDR5 ECC 5600 MT/s with the i9-14900K, the manual seems outdated as it doesn’t mention this processor. You’ll need to verify directly with the manufacturer or check updated documentation. The maximum memory size is likely set by both the motherboard and CPU, but the manual may not reflect the latest capabilities. The IPMI chip location isn’t specified in the provided links—review the official ASUS documentation for confirmation.
Many issues arise with i9 components; check out this video. It’s recommended to opt for AMD instead, offering ten times lower maintenance costs versus Intel.
I would steer clear of 13900k or 14900k CPUs for this board due to significant failure and crash rates. 12900k performs reliably. Wendell at Level1Techs conducted a month-long analysis examining logs and crash data on this platform, focusing on the W680 board with game servers running those specific chips.
Yes, but I just noticed that the product main page now says 192GB, which is in conflict with the manual. https://www.asus.com/uk/motherboards-com.../techspec/
The 12900k is thought to be solid and perform well on the platform according to Wendell's research, while the 13 and 14900k models don't show the same strength.
