Target Platform

The Supermicro MBD-X13SAE-F-O is an ATX server motherboard built for the LGA 1700 socket and the Intel W680 chipset. It supports 12th Generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and i9 processors with a thermal design power up to 125W. The board provides four DDR5 288-pin slots running at 4400 MT/s with a maximum capacity of 128GB.

Sustained Operation

Two PCI Express 5.0 x16 slots operate at either 16/NA or 8/8 lane splits, while two additional PCI Express 3.0 x4 slots and one 5V 32-bit PCI slot handle extra cards. Storage throughput is served by eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 plus three M.2 2280 M-Key slots on PCI Express 4.0 x4 with RAID 0, 1 and 5. Networking uses a dedicated IPMI LAN, one 2.5Gbps Intel i225LM port and one Gigabit Intel I219LM port with AMT/vPro support.

Installation Notes

The ASPEED AST2600 BMC provides out-of-band management through the dedicated IPMI LAN port. Rear I/O includes four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, two USB 2.0 ports, the three RJ45 LAN connectors and video from the BMC. Internal headers add two more USB 3.2 Gen 1 and two USB 2.0 ports. Builders needing more than three M.2 drives or more than two full-length PCI Express 5.0 devices should verify slot layout against their chassis.

Questions about this item

How much extra heat does a CPU with a 125W TDP rating add when the board runs continuously?

The motherboard supports 12th Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processors with a TDP of up to 125W, so sustained full-load operation will dissipate roughly that much heat into your chassis airflow.

Which memory modules must I already have to populate the four DDR5 288-pin slots?

You need DDR5 4400 DIMMs; the board accepts up to 128GB total across its four slots and does not support any other DDR generation.

Will my existing SATA 6.0Gb/s drives and PCIe 3.0 x4 add-in cards work alongside the new PCIe 5.0 x16 slots?

Yes, the board provides eight SATA 6.0Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 and two PCIe 3.0 x4 slots that operate independently of the two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots.
