TYAN S8253GM4NE-2T server motherboard, dual EPYC, 16 DDR4-3200, 3 PCIe 4.0 x16, 16 SATA, 10GbE

Dual-socket EPYC server board

The TYAN S8253GM4NE-2T is an Extended ATX motherboard built for dual AMD EPYC 7002 and 7003 series processors. It targets data-centre deployments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single node. Sixteen DDR4-3200 slots support up to 4 TB of ECC memory across eight channels. The board suits virtualisation clusters, database servers and compute-heavy workloads that benefit from twin CPUs.

PCIe 4.0 lane budget and storage limits

Three full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and one x8 slot provide expansion for GPUs, accelerators or networking cards. A further x32 slot is reserved for riser use, while two x8 SlimSAS connectors enable four NVMe drives. Sixteen SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports handle traditional storage arrays. The onboard Intel X550 delivers two 10 GbE ports and the Intel I210 adds two 1 GbE links plus a dedicated IPMI port. Bandwidth is finite; populating every slot and drive connector will share lanes.

Chassis clearance and power delivery checks

The 12 by 13.4 inch EATX footprint requires a case with matching mounting holes and sufficient vertical space for tall heatsinks. Dual SP3 processors demand robust VRM cooling and a power supply with enough EPS connectors for both sockets. Verify that your memory kit is DDR4-3200 ECC RDIMM or LRDIMM; other generations will not fit. Confirm the riser card you intend to use matches the x32 slot pinout before ordering.
