Woohoo!! My Supermicro 370DE6 is here!

Damn this motherboard is huge and I can't believe all the extras that came with it. (LVD scsi cable w/active terminator, two decent heatsink/fan combos, two separate extensive manuals, etc..) I can almost justify it's price tag. (well almost)

Any thoughts yet on how well this motherboard is working out? Any problems, has it been stable, what brand of memory are you using, etc. Inquiring minds want to know

I've got a Tyan Thunder 2500 and am considering getting the Supermicro board instead. I've heard of some major compatibility issues with certain video cards (namely the ATI Radeon I'm thinking of getting). Have you had any problems with the board? Does it have a header for front-mounted USB (silly question, I know)?

I really like this motherboard and I really haven't had had any problems with it. It has 2x 256mb (Samsung + Hitachi = 512mg total) Registered / Buffered ECC PC-133 Rams.

I haven't tried any ATI video card on this board, just Matrox G400Max so I can't tell you about any compatibility problems with ATI Radeon cards. No header for any front-mounted USB port.


I got to warn you though, this board is not good for overclockers, if that's anybodys' intention. It does either 100 or 133 FSB (auto or jumpered to either one) but no core voltage adjustments. So unless you get two 100 mhz FSB CPUs that overclocks and stable at 133 FSB at default voltage, you're out of luck.
