Supermicro X9SCA Workstation/Server Mainboard
Continuing in our build of “in house” test systems they grow but these systems are used for many different on-going tasks behind the scenes. Though to
maintain a sound and stable platform for tests of this magnitude the Supermicro X9SCA stays firmly in the box, supported by Intel's excellent Intel’s® C204
PCH Chipset, Intel’s® 1280 E-Series CPU finalising with Crucial's efficient ECC DDR3 validated for the mainboard. This will ensure for future outings a
platform which will give total reliability for all that we throw at it within the single socket CPU scenarios.
