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

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.

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. :confused:

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= server SOHO....32 treads
