I have used MBs from both of these manufacturers. Not with OBSD and not with AMD. I have found that both make quality server boards. The difference I have seen is that Tyan has had some quality control problems. I had a string of boards from them that had problems with the serial ports while the rest of the board functioned properly.Tyan replaced the defective boards in a timely manner so I remain a fan of Tyan. I have never had any problem with a SuperMicro board. I have built several quad Xeon servers with them and the only problem encountered was a redundant power supply failure in a SuperMicro system. No board problems. I don't think you could go wrong by selecting a product from either of these manufacturers
