    • good bios, questionable HW design
Review Image by isaiah
Review Image by isaiah
I bought this board to be used as a gpu compute node in an HPC linux cluster, and possibly a head node. It can adequately fit my needs. My main issues with the board are on the HW design/quality side. Pros: BIOS. The options were astounding. It has many features that make it easy as a server or compute node - specifically, ipmi and bmc. What ever you want, this board likely has it. Except just one feature that i strongly desire (more on that later). Cons: HW QUALITY. During [literally] my first day using the board i connected a usb keyboard and mouse. The usb receiver has been stuck in the slot since day 1 (see pic). Fortunately it wasnt a usb drive or something else that got stuck. HW DESIGN. I prefer m.2 over ssd. It is incredibly difficult to install an m.2 on this board due to an odd design choice. The m.2 slot is in the back corner of the board, and uses the smallest screw ive ever seen in my life - even smaller than average m.2 screws. This means that not only is it incredibly difficult to screw in the drive, but the odd location means that the tiny screw will fall into a corner *under* the m.2 stick if you dont screw it on properly the first time (see pic). Unless you have tiny child hands then you *will* mess up the 1st time. And 2nd time. BIOS. While there are admittedly tons of bios configs, there is one missing config that practically destroys my entire purpose for this board: disabling gpu output. If using an external gpu, the board defaults to outputting from the gpu, unless/until you disable the output in the OS. This is fine for a windows gaming rig. Problem is, im using higher end cards (emphasis on the plural) on linux, while also using the integrated gpu on the cpu. This means i need all gpus activated, but i dont want external gpu output. I cant set this in the bios. So, for example, when i use non-output gpus (ex: tesla, or quadro w/o the adapters) then i cant see the screen and therefore cant install the drivers. Annoyances (not deal-breakers): BOOT OPTIONS: The options for boot ordering seems odd. It boots by category instead of device. For example, you cant boot in-order by usb (HDD category), then pxe (netboot category) as the 2nd option, then ssd (HDD category) and 3rd boot option. The order must be usb and/or ssd (HDD category), then pxe; or, pxe then usb/ssd. Not a deal-breaker, but weird. BOOT SPEED: This board boots significantly slower than most board i've seen. And by 'boot' i mean just getting to the bios screen. This isnt a big deal for me since i use this in an always-on server. Overall i would only recommend this board for a more casual or slightly intermediate user/admin. I give it 3 stars because i dont expect most people to do the crazy HPC things that i do. I ended up switching the board to a gigabyte, and using the asus board as a day-to-day windows machine. (EDIT: updating after ~1yr of usage, and also owning the gigabyte c246 board) My original statement of having bmc and ipmi is incorrect. The options appear in the bios, but they are not configurable. Those features are for the asus pro-se version. Disabling gpu is possible with a bios update, but it is not a trivial procedure. My 3 stars still remain - mostly because of the M.2 screw and location, and my usb receiver getting stuck. One advantage this board has is an on-board power button, which is convenient for me because i dont always use computer cases and i find the jumper method to be annoying. Another advantage this board has is having vga, hdmi, and dp output (gigabyte mATX board does not have hdmi; but, it has 2 M.2 and gpu slots). I will most likely use this board either as a regular desktop pc, or a nas since it has 8 sata ports. ... show more

    • Asus does it again.
Building a new storage server. ECC is a requirement as well as at least 8 sata ports. Started with a similar Gigabyte model. It was super basic. No onboard speaker for beep codes, no troubleshooting led readouts. I had trouble getting it going and tried this one. Night and day difference. Asus packs the board with diag lights everywhere, has a bios flash utility you can use with nothing but power cables attached to the board, and a speaker for beep codes if something is wrong. Got it up and running after figuring out the ECC ram I bought was a bad match. It's humming away with a bunch of storage now and some Non-ECC ram to get it going. So far it has been rock solid and I don't expect that to change. ... show more

    • ASUS C246M Pro for NAS-Server Build
I'm going to use this board in a NAS and media server build using unRAID which is likely under-utilizing many of the workstation functions built into this motherboard. It supports ECC memory and I'm using a Crucial-ECC DIMM module with an ECC capable i3-9100. Be sure to update the BIOS for 9th-Gen CPUs and thankfully it allows BIOS updates without a CPU with the built-in flashback button on the board. It has a handy power button on the board as well. It has many functions that I'll probably never use but if I decide to make it a desktop windows PC or something else later it has that capability. As the previous reviewer mentioned it does have a lengthy boot up due to several workstation functions but some of those can be disabled in the BIOS helping to shorten the boot a little bit. So far the build is coming together well and I appreciate the multi-functionality of this board. ... show more

    • Doesn't support AMT, no out-of-band remote management support
Doesn't support AMT, no out-of-band remote management support. There are ASUS/ASRock C246M boards that support remote management but they opt for ASPEED chipset instead of Intel's AMT. The problem with ASPEED chipset, graphic controller will also uses ASPEED chipset instead of CPU's iGPU, in other word, if you want to run a headless plex server with iGPU's hardware acceleration support and out of band remote management support, then you should skip ASUS, ASRock, and Supermicro. ... show more
