About this deal

Storage connectivity is pretty good as well, with a trio of PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots and 8x SATA ports on the board. Notably absent on this board, and again a nod that it is intended more for workstations than for servers, are any powered SATA DOM ports. With that said, there is an internal USB header that can be used for USB booting a hypervisor if that is your preference, or any number of the M.2 ports can also be used. Supermicro X13SAE F BMC

I might actually be tempted to just go with a 58003D instead to offset the slower DRAM, even if this board is really more about juggling VMs. On one hand I want the responsiveness of high turbos, on the other hand this server of mine is designed for quiet and low power idle as it runs 24×7.

At the time of writing, Supermicro hasn't shared any information regarding the availability or pricing on its X13 (W680) motherboards. For Intel's W680 chipset launch, Supermicro has listed two motherboards designed around the new chipset. This includes the X13SAE and the X13SAE-Fmotherboards. These models are ATX in size and include support for DDR5-4400 memory, both ECC and non-ECC DRAM types.I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/zmrlnn/old_and_new_workstation/. (The new workstation is now at the 3 monitor table, unlike the picture.) x PCIe Gen4 Slots (PCIE1/PCIE3:single at x16(PCIE1); dual at x8 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE3)) (PCIE1: Support riser card x8/x8) x PCIe x16 (Gen4), 4 x USB 3.2 Gen2, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1, 4 x USB 2.0, 1 x M.2 Key B, 1 x M.2 Key E, 2 x M.2 Key M, 5 x COM, 4 x SATA3 Both of the Supermicro X13 (W680) allow users to use Alder Lake-S processors with a base TDP of 125 W, and both are using a Realtek ALC888S HD audio codec. They share the same connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and DVI video outputs, as well as three USB 3.2 G2 Type-A and one USB 3.2 G1 Type-A port on the rear panel.

Despite both the Supermicro X13SAE and X13SAE-F featuring the same base specifications, including dual Ethernet, one powered by an Intel I225-V 2.5 GbE and the other by an Intel I1219-LM Gigabit controller pairing, there is one key difference. The Supermicro X13SAE-F includes IPMI functionality which is powered by an ASPeed AST2600 BMC controller and includes a supplementary Realtek RTL8211F management LAN port. I’m considering to renew my PC (An 10 year old Xeon E3-1245v2 on Supermicro X9SAE-V with 16 GiB of ECC RAM).

The combination of the W680 and Core series CPUs presents a bit of an interesting situation when it comes to memory support. ECC support is peppered in and out of the Core series, supported seemingly at random on some models and not on others, but only when paired with the W680 chipset. Support for ECC memory can seem very arbitrary. For example, the Core i7-12700 supports ECC memory while the Core i7-12700F does not. As you can see from my pictures, my system is getting the i7-12700F and will not be paired with ECC RAM.

The other thing Intel will tell you is that Xeon-branded chips are binned for better stability and reliability. I don't know how much truth there is in that, but I've never seen one fail.

Both the IMB-X1233-WV and IMB-X1231 ITX sized offerings allow support for Alder Lake-S processors with a maximum TDP of 65 W, while the micro-ATX IMB-X1314 and ATX IMB-X1712 enable users to use processors with a base TDP of up to 125 W. Support and compatibility here are aligned and determined by the base frequency TDP rating on these models.

The Intel W680 Chipset: Enabling Alder Lake Workstations

I’d rather prefer a DDR4-3200 ECC board, because those DIMMs are relatively easy to get and I might just lend it half of the 128GB I have in my Ryzen 5950X for a while.

Speaking of memory, the X13SAE-F uses ECC or non-ECC DDR5 RAM at speeds up to 4400 MHz. Memory support is currently limited to 4x 32GB or 128GB of total memory, though it is possible that the system might eventually support more if 64GB unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs are ever released.
