So I was going to build this ESXi host but it looked like the motherboard I wanted was selling out quickly, so I picked one up.
Lucky I did looks like they were selling out and today I checked they were sold out.
No Fomo for me.
Good news is that the machine installs ESXi 7 just fine. Now I would like to get an HBA working.
All the cables worked, so happy with that.
But CPU heatsink didnt fit, I ordered a pair of new ones, they cost $25.00
Also I needed two sticks of RAM for both CPUs, so four all together, I only had two sticks so I only could get 1 CPU up and just 1 SLOT became available.
It does work, so I have time now. No RMA needed.
I walked today, got my floors outside, halfway, 6k steps.
