Anyone tried an AMD Epyc 4124P (4c/8t) on a B650 motherboard yet?

[Sarajiel]

I was wondering if anyone tried an Epyc 4124P or any other Epyc 4004 CPU on a consumer motherboard yet?

ASUS lists Epyc 4004 CPUs as compatible for almost all of their B650 motherboards. Since my planned machine isn't intended as a server, I'm not really willing to spend a premium on boards with BMC/IPMI support. Although, I'll probably go for ECC memory which is supported on most of those boards as well, at least on paper.
I'm also not interested in Ryzen 7600, 8500G or any of the F-types since no overclocking, gaming, or anything of that kind is planned for that PC. Its use case will mostly be copying external USB-drives or transferring datasets over the internet between my clients and me in an energy efficient manner.

Which Epyc did you try? Are there more limitations than just the locked multiplier?

Is the 7600 a less suited choice than a 4 core? I don't follow.

Two more cores and double the L3 cache isn't a bad thing. Both are rated at 65 W.

Edit: Also, three years of warranty is pretty good to have (retail CPU's).

It's more a proof of concept build at the moment. I can get the Epyc 4124P cheaper than the 7600, and if the Epyc works well enough in that copy-station, I'm tempted to use the 12-core version for a server-build later on. For my copy-station, a dual-core would probably be enough.

However, nobody seems to use them for any kind of DIY builds so far, not even on the AM5 server boards.

Interesting, didn't even know AMD had a Epyc for AM5 socket.

When the motherboard has the possibility of equipping a server chip, the only thing that will allow you is to do some overclocking....in a SOHO server it is not necessary to overclock, you take more or less cores, if you equip a 32 threads the logical thing is that you accompany 64 gb 2gb x core... you are supposed to use them.
I have one tuf gaming intel 12600 dont need a server.

1 cpu amd 7950x 500 euros + motherboard =servidor SOHO....32 threads
Today a CPU with less than 12 threads is of no interest.

Only on server motherboards and with internet higher connections can you have more Ethernet bandwidth than on an office motherboard.

I see it more as a rebadge than anything else, save for the disabled features. I don't think you have to prove anything here lol, they're all Raphael.

There's a €10 difference where I'm looking, not enough to compromise IMO.

Also, it might make sense here price wise, but as soon as you bump it up to 12C you're going to pay a premium, currently €130 extra.

There are retail boxes tho, didn't know that.

If you want to keep the cost down you might as well look for AM4.

8500G

APU's doesn't have ECC support anyway, including those with disabled graphics.

AM4 is much cheaper for what you need, cpu, ram, motherboard, the option of going to am5 is only so as not to be outdated in the motherboard by taking the cheapest asrock, now there are also cheap ddr 5 4800 jedec with 2x8gb =16 gb it comes to you.

In fact, if you take the CPU with integrated graphics you can save the expense of a dedicated graphics GPU, you will only need it when installing the operating system and then remove it as you install the CPU graphics driver, you will use the displayport or HDMI of the motherboard.

The integrated graphics in the CPU are not useful for playing games, it is only for displaying the screen, unless you buy an APU and you can play some non-modern game

If you want to play modern games you need a cpu 12 thread + dedicated GPU graphics card + 2x8 gb = 16gb

I forgot about that, AM4 CPU's doesn't have graphics. AM4 leaves the OP to APU's, and they don't have ECC support. That is if ECC really is needed here.
