This is available on AMD Ryzen motherboards, too.
Just get one of ASRock's motherboards with the BMC controller built-in: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U#Specifications https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X...
No need to mess with PiKVM or add-in cards. It's a server board with KVM management that works out of the box with Ryzen processors. It might need a BIOS update to support your 5950X, but it will work.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoYeah, I know about those ASRock boards, but they're more expensive than the rudimentary Pi-KVM solution I have right now (a 35 dollar Pi and a 12 dollar HDMI capture dongle; I would use wake-on-lan for powering the board on… if my MSI board's WoL worked). Also, not the one you linked, but the newer B550 ASRock Rack boards are impossible to find for sale—the only place I could find the B550 boards were on wisp.net.au, and I don't live in Australia or New Zealand so it wouldn't be cost effective. Perhaps I should've opted for an X470 board, but it was "older" so I was put off.
