Can anyone recommend cheap a motherboard for running 7950X with 4 modules of 48GB RAM for total 192GB? and run ESXi 8 and working LAN?

i’d recommend against using 4 sticks of ddr5. if u do, you’d have to sacrifice the speed at which it runs. you wouldn’t want to go too cheap on a motherboard with a 7950x. do u want atx or matx? what type of features do u want?

also as most AM5 motherboard just have 2-3 pci slots, i would prefer a motherboard with intel LAN that is recognized by ESXi 8.
