      I have been using a Supermicro A2SDI-4C-HLN4F-O motherboard for my pfSense router since December 2017. I am looking for an upgrade with 10g.

      Currently 8gig of RAM ECC and 128gb M.2 Storage.

      I usually run darkstat, iperf, nmap, openvpn tools, pfBlockerNG, and squid.

      Performance has been great, but looking to close any of the processor exploits, and run some snort.

      Any suggestions?

        I is don’t have any suggestions but I am curious about your current system.

        I was looking to upgrade to that board. I didn’t know if you had problems with it.

          No, I have not had any issues with the system. I do not run any third party apps. It works great.

          I use a Silverstone Milo 10 Case with a Nocuta Fan on the top blowing cold air. I have it mounted to my wall.

          I also use a Mini-Box P4-DC jack to enable power with a 60 watt power supply

          The system runs about 32 to 36 degrees C daily.
