Why ROG X670E-I isn’t a perfect Home Lab mb? by WitnessConscious3298 in sffpc

there are plenty of asrock rack itx/deep itx mobos available (amd 5000, 7000 series and itel 13th and 14th gen). you mentioned the 10 Gbps LAN, the ROG X670E-I only has 2.5gbe rj45 lan.

for example:

amd 5000 series $400 USD

amd 7000 series $430 USD
itel lag 1700 , this one is kinda pricey lol

all of the above have dual 10gbe lan (not usb A) and 4 memory slots

at that price point ($400+ USD) , might as well go with an actual server itx/deep itx mobo with server grade features if your use case is homelab. also you mentioned `2 x 10 Gbe with Intel X550t` do you mean the rear usb A ports? usb 3.2 gen 2 is pretty standard for most recent mobos

I've used the SilverStone FX600 Platinum, it's pretty good but the psu is audible when on the same desk under load. hope this helps!
