ASUStek P10S-I running OpenBSD -release
· openbsd
The P10S-I was released in 2016 and at the time was the most capable board available to me that was suitable to serve as an OpenBSD firwall. It features dual Intel I210 NICs and performance improvements over the years have lined up with my FTTH, and routing / filtering 1Gbps is not a problem.
Hilariously, the Xeon processor was released in 2011 with a 95W TDP. Recent systems probably deliver similar or better performance at 10W. None of them offer ECC memory, though!
$ sysctl hw.{vendor,product,model,ncpuonline}
hw.vendor=ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
hw.product=P10S-I Series
hw.model=Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz
hw.ncpuonline=4
It has served well, except for very high (30-45%) spin% on a CPU core when
doing moderate disk activity, the controller is a
"Intel 100 Series AHCI" rev 0x31: msi, AHCI 1.3.1. The disks are:

BIOS upgrade
The system shipped with firmware version “3103” date 03/14/2017. Now that the disk spin% has become a real problem, I’ll log BIOS upgrades and results here. The upgrades available to me are: 4001, 4301, 4401, 4503 and 4602.
