About this deal

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. PCIe slot connectivity on the X13SAE-F is pretty good, with dual PCIe x16 5.0 slots capable of operating as x16/x0 or x8/x8. Between them are a pair of open-ended PCIe 3.0 x4 slots, and a lone old-school PCI slot at the end for even the oldest legacy add-in cards. Supermicro X13SAE F M2 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 Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS.

I would like to have ECC on my next build. One choice would be an Ryzen 9 7900 (non-X) with an Asus AM5 motherboard, another would be this Supermicro X13SAE with a Intel 13700. I like the very long term support that supermicro has (BIOS upgrades and so on), but i think that the 13900 or even the 13700 could be too much power hungry for this board. It is supposed to support up to 125 TDP CPU with up to 8P+8E cores. The heatsink on VRM are very small (if we compare them to other motherboards VRM’s heatsink).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. That the name of the game. 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. I wish they’d add a proper 10Gbit NIC already (it seems the board is prepared for it), but at least the x4 slot is open ended and a good fit for an ACQ107 or 113.

Design | Develop | Test | Manufacture With over three decades of experience in designing custom industrial and embedded computer and display solutions across a wide array of industries, we’re here to turn your ideas into reality I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard.

USB Revision

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. 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.

Per VM encryption is another feature that's currently only supported on EPYCs, while the silicon is all there in all variants of the chips.

Intel® 14th/13th/12th Gen (Raptor Lake-S Refresh/Raptor Lake-S/Alder Lake-S) Core™ Processors, up to 65W Rear I/O on the X13SAE-F definitely looks more workstation than a server, with a full complement of display and audio outputs, along with more USB ports than most servers. The RJ45 network ports are interesting as well, with a dedicated BMC NIC along with both an Intel i219-LM 1 GbE port as well as an i225-LM 2.5 GbE port. Supermicro X13SAE F SlotsBoth 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.

When you collaborate with our team, you open the door to a world of possibilities, where innovation and creativity converge to bring your vision to life. 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. 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

They matched on core-count (okay, with hybrid cores), surpassed on DRAM and PCIe revisions, surpassed on PCIe lanes, and now they've even surpassed Ryzen on ECC! Artificial Intelligence Use : Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, Machine Learning, Machine Vision In testing the X13SAE, we had no issues setting it up with our 12900K and basic kit of DDR5. Without XMP support, our 6000MHz kit of memory loaded up at 4400MHz at CL36. This gave us lower than normal performance in the benchmarks tested compared to our Z690 testing.VBAT, System temperature, CPU temperature, 3.3V standby, 1.05 (PCH), +5V standby, +5V, +3.3V, +12V, CPU thermal trip support, +1.8V PCH I red James C.
