Thanks Cassandra – my power supply only has one PSU 8-pin/4+4 plug but I guess I can get an extender so that I can supply to both ports

@Martin Hayes
The PSU 8-pin/4+4 CPU connectors are what you use to connect. You can leave the second one unpopulated however but with higher TDP CPU’s it’s highly recommended for overall stability.

Great review, thank you. I am still confused about what, if anything, I should connect to the power socket label 1 and 2 in the Quick Installation Guide. The PSU’s 8-pin 12 V Power connector fits but is it necessary?

Patrick, Thank you for your in-depth review. Hit every mark on what i was looking for that is important. ASRock ROMED6U-2L2T fantastic board, for the I/O, can’t find one that works like Data Center server in mATX form. Is there a recommended server like or other casing you or anyone tested this board, the required FANs cooling and power with fully populated and maintains server level reliability. I love that this has IPMI.
I would like to see a follow on review with 2x100G running full memory channels on this board, and running RoCE2 and RDMA.

I believe there is a way to optimize this board with it’s 6 channels if using the new milan chips. I was looking for some confirmation.
