At the time of writing, Supermicro hasn't shared any information regarding the availability or pricing on its X13 (W680) motherboards. 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.

Our design professionals are dedicated to delivering exceptional results, ensuring that the final product not only meets but exceeds your expectations. 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. 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. 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. 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. Whether it’s modifying an existing product or crafting an entirely new one, our design experts are committed to providing you with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that perfectly suits your needs. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we’re here to turn your ideas into reality.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.) The main issue for ECC and encrypted VMs is that it requires BIOS and OS support to function or deliver its full potential and there could be extra licensing cost involved from an external vendor that AMD cannot iron out without too much of a cost impact.

It's not uncommon for entry-level workstation/server boards that support Xeon E-series also to support the desktop version, but they will have a note indicating no ECC support for those mainstream CPUs. So, that's what I was looking for, but found no such thing!

My guess is they're just trying really hard to eliminate reasons for anyone to buy a Ryzen. 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! 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). The BIOS provides the ability to override PL1, PL2 and Tau, and I currently have PL2 set at 350W (which is probably above the max the CPU can actually draw), PL 1 at 200W, and Tau at 64 secs. 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 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.
