Supermicro MBD-X13SRA-TF-O server motherboard

SKU CH-V7AW-HGBF6 MPN MBD-X13SRA-TF-O

Server motherboard supporting single-socket Xeon processors with up to 60 cores and 385 W TDP, eight DDR5 slots for 2 TB RDIMM 3DS memory, three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for multi-GPU configurations.

  • Supports up to 60 cores on Intel Xeon W-3400, W-2400, W-3500, W-2500 series
  • Handles 385 W TDP for sustained heavy workloads
  • 8 DDR5 slots deliver up to 2 TB 3DS or 512 GB ECC RDIMM
  • Three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots fit multiple double-width GPU cards
  • Two M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slots accept 2280 and 22110 form factors

Platform fit

This Supermicro server motherboard accepts Intel Xeon W-3400, W-2400, W-3500 and W-2500 series processors in a single Socket E (LGA-4677). It targets workstation and server builds that need up to 60 CPU cores with a thermal design power of up to 385W.

Memory ceiling

Eight DIMM slots support DDR5 at 4800MT/s with one module per channel or 4400MT/s with two modules per channel. Maximum capacity reaches 2TB using 3DS RDIMMs or 512GB with standard ECC RDIMMs.

Build notes

Three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots accept up to three single-width, two double-width or two triple-width GPU cards, while one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and two M.2 M-key slots (2280/22110) provide additional expansion. The M.2 sockets ship without heatsinks, so thermal pads or aftermarket cooling are required for sustained PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD operation.

Questions about this item

How many Xeon cores can the board actually run at the 385W TDP limit?

The socket supports processors with up to 60 cores and a thermal design power of 385W, so the full core count is available within that power envelope.

What bandwidth do the three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and the PCIe 4.0 x4 slot deliver?

Three slots run at PCIe 5.0 x16 and one at PCIe 4.0 x4, setting the practical ceiling for GPU and add-in card throughput.

What clearance do the 2280 and 22110 M.2 drives need since no heatsink is included?

The M-key slots accept 2280 and 22110 modules without a bundled heatsink, so plan for your own cooling solution in the available space.
