ASRock Mainboard TURIN2D24G-2L+/500W Proprietary Dual Socket SP5 Single Motherboard

ASRock TURIN2D24G-2L+/500W is a server motherboard with dual Socket SP5, aimed at serious EPYC configurations – from virtualization and HCI to heavy databases and analytics. It works with the current generation of AMD EPYC 9004 / 9005 and 97x4 series, including models with 3D V-Cache, and is built around DDR5 memory with massive capacity. The form factor is proprietary, so think of it as a platform for a complete server, not for a standard chassis.

What you get is a board with 24 DIMM slots, DDR5 RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS and a maximum of 6 TB RAM, making it suitable for RAM-intensive workloads – in-memory databases, caching, and massive virtualization. Support for speeds up to 6400 MHz allows you to squeeze latency and bandwidth from the EPYC platform with the right memory kit. The massive array of MCIO slots with PCIe 5.0 / CXL 2.0 x8 from both CPUs provides flexibility for NVMe storage, accelerators, or CXL expansions. Up to 34 x SATA 6Gb/s allows you to build dense storage configurations without relying on a separate HBA from day one. The two M.2 slots (one for each CPU) are convenient for boot mirror or fast system storage for hypervisor and logs.

• Support for AMD EPYC 9004 / 9005 and 97x4 series processors, including 3D V-Cache, making it a relevant platform for modern EPYC servers.
• Dual Socket SP5 (LGA6096) design, oriented towards configurations with two CPUs for maximum core count and large total memory.
• 24 DIMM slots DDR5 RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS (1DPC) with a max. capacity of 6 TB, suitable for heavy virtualization, in-memory applications, and large caches.
• Support for DDR5 memory with frequencies 4800 / 5200 / 5600 / 6400 MHz, providing a good foundation for high memory bandwidth.
• Advanced MCIO slots with PCIe 5.0 / CXL 2.0 x8 to both CPUs, providing great flexibility for NVMe, accelerators, and CXL devices.
• Up to 34 x SATA 6Gb/s ports (up to 32 from EPYC SoC + 2 from ASM1061), which is a strong plus for large storage arrays and file servers.
• 2 x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA 6Gb/s, 2280/22110), one for each CPU, suitable for boot or fast system storage.
• 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A on the rear panel + internal headers for up to 4 more ports, convenient for service, recovery media, and peripherals.
• Support for Microsoft Windows Server, RHEL, SUSE SLES, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, and Citrix Hypervisor, facilitating integration into various infrastructures.
• Proprietary form factor 16.9" x 13.8" (429 x 351 mm), oriented towards specific chassis and complete server solutions.

This motherboard is suitable if you are pursuing a serious EPYC platform for virtualization, databases, HCI, or large storage with many disks. It also fits well in environments with CXL and PCIe 5.0 expansions, where you need capacity and scalability. It is not suitable if you are looking for a standard rackmount build with an ATX/EATX board or a more budget-friendly single-processor server.

The strength here is the combination of dual SP5, massive DDR5 capacity, and rich MCIO/PCIe 5.0 resources, plus a massive number of SATA ports, giving you a solid platform for a serious server, ready for growth and load.
