As you can see from the photos above SAPPHIRE provides different cooling solutions depending on whether 15W or 45W Ryzen V2000 processors are fitted to the IPC-FP6 board. The documentation lists Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 20.04.1 64-bit as supported operating systems.

That’s a bit old, but that’s because the IPC-FP6 Ryzen V2000 motherboard appears to have been introduced in 2021 or 2022 after the company launched the FS-FP6 mini-STX motherboard with similar features. But I was only made aware of the IPC-FP6 a few days ago and decided to write about it since there may not be that many mini-ITX motherboards with 10GbE (and gigabit Ethernet) ports around.

Since it’s been released a few years ago, you’d think it would be easy enough to find pricing information. But this mini-ITX motherboard is designed for commercial applications and won’t sell to consumers, so you’d have to contact SAPPHIRE or one of their distributors to purchase in quantities.
