Last month I've replace my old system with new hardware. It has a ASUS PRO WS X570-ACE mobo with a AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU in it. I had to tweak the BIOS/UEFI a bit to get it to boot from NVME RAM. The other thing was that Debian wouldn't (yet) recognize on of the two ethernet ports on it (Realtek), but it wouldn't let me use the other port on it either (Intel). Disabling the troublesome port in the BIOS solved that problem. Apart from that it is a wonderful system to work with. I've had no trouble at all with it. It is stable and everything seems to work just fine. And in case you consider virtualisation: libvirt is seriously flying on this platform! No compatibility problems there either. I can really recommend it. However it was a bit on the pricey side and budget is always something to consider. Grx HdV
