We have Supermicros, and over the last year have suffered 8 servers die in
(literally) a ball of flames as the voltage regulators melt. All of the
servers share the same motherboard ID, which I b elieve is the same as
yours above.
We have ours supplied by Transtec and get them replaced very quickly as
and when they die. We have a further 20-30 servers with this motherboard,
so expect more. But as long as Transtec continue to replace them, then
we're happy.

We're currently trialling various Dell 1U servers as a SuperMicro
replacement - nothing to do with the above issues, just us moving
on and up.
