GIGABYTE MS03-CE0 server motherboard ATX LGA 4677 DDR5 4800 MHz

Single-socket Xeon server board

The GIGABYTE MS03-CE0 is an ATX motherboard built for one 5th- or 4th-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor in the LGA 4677 socket. It uses the Intel C741 chipset and runs DDR5 memory at up to 4800 MHz across eight channels with eight DIMM slots. Two Intel I210-AT controllers give dual 1 GbE LAN ports, while an Aspeed AST2600 provides basic graphics output. Four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports sit on the rear panel, and the board measures 304.8 mm by 244 mm.

Suited to single-processor rack builds.

This board targets integrators assembling single-CPU servers for cloud, virtualisation or high-performance compute where one Xeon delivers enough threads. The eight memory channels and seven PCIe Gen5 expansion slots support large memory footprints and multiple accelerators or network cards. It is not for dual-socket configurations, for systems needing 10 GbE or faster onboard networking, or for workstations that require consumer features such as audio codecs or Wi-Fi. Builders needing more than one processor must choose a different platform.

Eight-channel DDR5 RDIMM up to 256 GB per module

The decisive specification is the memory subsystem: eight DDR5 channels accepting 3DS RDIMM modules up to 256 GB each. That capacity ceiling determines whether the board can meet a given workload's memory-density requirement. If the application demands higher per-module density or a different memory standard, this motherboard will not fit.
