Hey, so I'm building a home server inside of a thermaltake cube. I haven't been able to find an matx motherboard that supports ECC and is also recommended by Reddit.

I've been considering the following 2 boards:

  • ASRock B550M PRO4

  • ASUS Prime B550M-A

Just looking for a b550m with ECC support. Doesn't really need to be 550 architecture but I need something that supports the 5600 and preferably ECC since I was informed it was good to have for servers.

The server will be used for Minecraft, Ark, Storage, maybe a website. Not sure. I wanna play with it. Virtualization and proxmox look really cool as well.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated I feel very out of my depth on this topic.

Generally I go for the Asus boards, but I've used asrock in the past and they're fine.

Between these two boards, I'd go with the asrock option since there are more pcie ports, and they're all usable if you put a 2 slot GPU in. Even if you go with a thicker GPU, you'll still have access to the bottom x4/x16 slot.

I've got the tuf b550 and can't put a 10g nic in because my GPU is too thick
