Hi,
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 Checkpoint 2D Checkpoint 2D 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: https://www.chip1stop.com/USA/en/product/detail?partId=SOCI-0000003&mpn=... 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
https://e.huawei.com/en/products/servers/kunpeng/kunpeng-desktop-board 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.

I have a SolidRun Honeycomb, and I'm pretty happy with it. Still max RAM is 64G, but it is a nice board.

Thanks, that looks a little better than the other two I found. Do you know if it supports ECC memory? The spec doesn't seem to mention it.
