I bet it's a real QYFX

in server chassis usualy the CPUs have passive Heatsinks and are cooled by 4 or 6 FANS.

BIOS modified for what ?

no. but with D0 CPU you can enter BIOS. yes. its in my list. the other 60 core Q03J E0 runs too.

the infamous TDC is std. 550A you can buy combinations X13DEI + 2x 8488C (385W) at taobao.

QYFP is the only one run with stock BIOS settings into OS without freeze, all other need package C-States set to C2(or C0/C1) in BIOS first. tested are QYFP,QYFQ,QY06,QY0C,QYFS,QYFR,QYFX,QYFU,Q03J. i have sold my ASUS W790 Ace so i can't check SPR MCC D0s, but they work on X13SRA with modded...

Fan Xpert 4. but SAGE is controlled by BMC AST2600, possibly only BMC/IPMI can control FANs. maybe there is an interface between both. i had only a W790-Ace (without BMC,) FANs are controled the classic BIOS way.

i think the main reason is hide the original customer of this ES. intel may decide not to give him ES anymore.

disable the AST2400 will be 4W less then, there is a chipset left still working.

should be the 3pin VR-Debug header in top middle of your picture. find out which is ground and trace other two to the controller chip. TPS53679 pin24/26

it is PRD unit. supermicro C741 is ok. you need at least BIOS 1.3a for X13DEI i.e. but in EU silver 4510 is 720 EUR(tray new).

imho a vulnerable BIOS and or ME for me is having BIOS rel. issue. so i so the update. modern server boards supports BIOS update with BMC/IPMI WebGUI, so the risk is smaller because you can (mostly) back to the known working BIOS.

this is ASPEED chip over PCIe 2.0 x1, how can this affect PCIe devices count ? probably there is a 3.3V current limit or somethign else ?

have PS7101 phisons on my old MS33-AR0

which motherboard/vendor is next ?
