On: Hetzner GPU Server

Hetzner is buying ASUS consumer AM5 motherboards, but with the whole CPU + memory block rotated so that the memory sticks are horizontal instead of vertical for better airflow:

They also buy (at least) ASRock Rack motherboards as well.

Saying that from looking at the dmidecode output from some of our dedicated server currently with them:

    Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 15 bytes
    Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: ASRockRack
        Product Name: B565D4-V1L

They have lots of different boards, among others ASRock. Even within the same range of models you can buy, for instance AX52 you can get different manufacturers. It's not really transparent to the customers when they order.
