43,19€ after using the 10% coupon FUNTECH.
Reliable shop, free shipping within Germany.
This board is unused, new, has IPMI and 3x 1GbE ports, supports UDIMM ECC. CPU-cooler included for free, better cooling than AMD stock cooler.
AMD 3950X can be found on eBay for 150€, 5950X for 250€. Possible to get a high-performance server for REALLY cheap.
Price this cheap because it has multiple firmware issues out of the box. Making the board unusable without proper updates. The user has to manually update all firmware to the latest version, by himself, for the board to work. After the firmware update, I have yet to encounter any issues.
Some people say Gigabyte is not as reliable as ASRock, maybe someone with the same board can share his experiences as well 
Below is how I have upgraded my boards (same shop, same mainboard model):
Update Firmware
- Only insert 1 RAM stick and only in slot A1! Insert CPU as well.
- Open BMC/IPMI web interface.
- Update BMC using the
rom.ima_encfile. - Update BIOS using the
image.RBUfile. (The host PC must to be turned on first, when the host system is turned off, the BIOS update will fail.)
Without the latest updates, the board will ==NOT== work properly!

I had Gigabytes before going Supermicro.
They were shit. The usual garbage that doesn't survive 3 days of uptime. Had one that even corrupted data from/to disk.
It should be illegal to run a database on those.
I had Megabytes before going Gigabyte.
They were short. The usual garage that doesn't surface 3 bags of uniform. Had one that even connected dots from/to dust.
It should be illogical to rub a barbeque on those.
Is that manual or do you run a prompt to generate these ?
If you don't like the old record you could straightforwardly ask to put up some improvised jazz. But what good could possible come from it, since, regardless of genre, all music falls on deaf ears.
3 Days of uptime means the board was dead ?!?
It was during peak Covid peak Taiwan capacitors plague. Replaced the capacitors, it lasted some more months, then a voltage regulator blew. Its overall construction was so fragile / undersized it wasn't worth bothering to replace it. And all the memory banks that periodically I had to Memtest86 one by one. Those computers were toys; imagine having a desktop motherboard controlling the autopilot on a Boeing. Regardless of brand, all consumer boards of any time have required me to stay on duty to occasionally go downstairs and press the reset button.
With Supermicro I forget the computer I ssh into is in my own house.
