No major problems so far. Minor issues: - powerd/amdtemp don't work correctly, I'll probably retest when 12-BETA is out - Linuxolator doesn't work (as petefrench pointed out) - Had a crash while backing up to external HDD but pretty sure the problem was a bad SATA connection The system does a lot of poudriere builds. Cannot comment on long-time stability, system is off at night. > Ideally, I want an Intel NIC, ECC memory support, and a 3-year warranty. Board has an Intel igb NIC. According to the vendor "ECC support varies by CPU". But only found reports of ECC not working, not a single success story. The X370 board is a bit cheaper. Went for X470 because X370 boards may require firmware update for 2nd gen Ryzen.Received on Sat Sep 22 2018 - 16:28:46 UTC
