  No idea why that is but that model is running stable here while the B650D4U is bringing all the problems (and the Asustek Pro WS 565-ACE as well).

  I'm crossing my fingers that the B450D4U is not starting to show the same probs as well. But maybe it is a part problem that is affecting different models at different production times...

  I am wondering why no one is looking at MSI, they have great AM5 motherboards!

  Very interesting (this is the most specific detail that has been revealed/reported about this issue so far).

  I'm very curious on more detail(s) if you have any. I'm wondering what it is about the specific component that causes this issue - is it more an "interaction" with other components on the board/series or an issue with the component itself (then again, it must be something very specific to the board and not used in other models/series by ASRock as well as other MB manufacturers).

  What I have learned today.

  Use hetzner if you want your servers to be delivered with mainboards that need to be replaced

  Use OVH if you want your data to be hosted in a data centre that sets itself on fire

  Use iHostArt if you want lies, scams drama and the best regards

  I’m off back to sleep

  Does anyone happen to know which brand boards are these?

  @ilBarista said:
  most probably Asrock Rack yes, but custom design from the manufacture directly.

  Asrock B665D4U-1L

  They are indeed using AsRock Rack (we had some AX102).

  Closest I ever saw was a gen8 xeon on a Fujitsu workstation board built to server standards (without rotated ram and ipmi)

  This.

  Another motherboard is Asus Pro WS 665-ACE (WS B665-ACE?):
  

  It was a custom m/b initially, then appeared on the Asus website, but still available for purchase only for large vendors.

  CPU socket and RAM slots are also rotated 90 degrees.

  This design resembles older ASUS M2R32-MVP and Soltek K8AN2E-GR14 motherboards.
  Also (now forgotten) BTX form factor from the Pentium 4 era.

  At our side we received the information that the issue would be related to " low reliability of a MOS on the board"

  AsrockRack should communicate about the issue...

  Depends on the manufacture date from Asrock Rack. As mentioned, we've seen no stability issues on the RMA replacement boards they've sent from Q4 2024 and onward.
