Most unfortunately, my MP30-AR1 board seems to have expired today. It gets stuck in an infinite boot loop:

Boot from SPI-NOR
American Megatrends
Boot firmware (Project MP30-AR1, BIOS Ver F01; built at 15:11:23 on Sep  5 2016)
Slimpro FW Ver: 2.4
iPP Ver: 01.15.01.00
Checkpoint 2D

So I'm looking for a replacement. Unfortunately, everything I can get in *TX form factor seems to be nowhere nearly as good, despite 6-7 years of advancement, and I can't seem to find a replacement MP30-AR1 board listed anywhere.

I am aware of these:

Pros:

- Can just buy one

Cons:

- Poor performance despite lots of cores, especially single-thread performance compared to the old MP30-AR1

- Only half the RAM capacity at 64GB

Pros:

- Might have half decent single thread performance matching or exceeding the old MP30-AR1

Cons:

- Questionable availability, unknown pricing

- Only half the RAM capacity at 64GB

Is there another offering that I'm missing? I know Gigabyte do a server system, but I need something reasonably quiet and compact rather than something rack mounted making data centre grade noise.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
