When we think of servers, we often think of huge datacentres full of racks of servers. But that isn’t always the case. Supermicro’s H11SSL-i comes in a standard ATX form factor which makes it easily deployable everywhere. You can grab any off-the-shelve chassis and build yourself a kickass server.

The motherboard supports AMD’s EPYC 7000 series of processors with up to 32 cores. That’s also the type of CPU I’ll be using to test it: a 7551P. The board has 8 DDR4 DIMM slots with support for up to 1TB registered ECC memory. The 8-channel design will help a lot of with memory-intensive applications and you can run up to 2666 MHz speeds here. AMD’s EPYC series are System-on-Chip design, so there’s no need for a chipset to add functionality.
