    Higher power Intel CPUs on MB - LGA4677 question

    That's an excellent info confirming potential compatibility, will try to make an offer on ebay (although most of members there are not actual owners of a product but are just resellers therefore can't really make adequate market-matching pricing - only minor flexibility within their profit...

    Higher power Intel CPUs on MB - LGA4677 question

    My X13 SuperMicro motherboard supports 350W Sapphire Rapids LGA4677 CPUs, but I've seen some Xeons traded having higher factory TDP (specifically 385W) - it has compatible with MB production stepping (not ES/QS). What happens if I plug this CPU into MB? Will it boot to BIOS ? (where I can...

    ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE + Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids SP ES = works it

    If nothing else helps then worst case PWM controllers like HW-585 (3-channels) or Corsair Commander Pro/Core/XT versions (with iCue software managed via USB).

    As for a price I do agree, €25 per core is the upper justifiable limit. Not sure what all those ebay sellers are waiting for with QS/ES and fake-printed lids by trying to keep prices that high. Although it mostly looks like they to not actually own inventory but are just resellers (hence only...

    ES Xeon Discussion

    I've recently noticed what LGA4677 Emerald Rapids become available, for instance low-core 4510 almost reasonably priced (itm on ebay : 386976212716), Possibly not even ES/QS but looks like prod Does anyone already has experience with those? Are they ok with C741 PCH (on SuperMicro) ?

    Perhaps this was already answered previously but what's expected outcome of putting dual 385W CPU into LGA4677 SuperMicro dual-socket MB designed for 350W CPU (assuming I will dial-down frequency/cores via BIOS on a first boot). For instance there are plenty of Xeons having model number 84XXC (...

    X13DEI has x16 RAM slots (x8 for each CPU), the reason I've described x16 ram sticks was to show that I have spares to try different combinations. Currently only one RAM stick is plugged in (and I've changed those several times for different module into right slot as per motherboard manual)...

    Well, I've got LGA4677 MB a year ago and it still sits on a shelf because of most likely QS E3 stepping CPU is unstable (have ES D0 too but it doesn't even detect on SuperMicro), it keeps crashing every 2 hrs.. It might be something else though (have x16 different sticks of RAM, spare PSU) but...

    DDR5 ECC RDIMM temps, especially in a workstation chassis

    For some reasons my regular non-overclocked single-rank DDR5 ECC RDIMM 16GB 4800 Micron (MTC10F1084S1RC48BA1 NGCC EC8 RDIMM DDR5 1RX8 - PC5-4800B-RD0-1010-XT) is flagged as hot by HWInfo64 even at temps above 35 ^C (this is under normal load, not stress-testing/benchmarking) despite Micron'...

    Non-prod units (mostly ES but often even QS) are a lottery, I'm getting a lot of those (QAT, not DSA as per original post) with 8461V-QS despite latest drivers and all updates, although it might not be CPU but something else too.

    Supermicro motherboard 13th gen with AMI bios - delay PCIe bus enumeration

    Hello, Is there a way to increase delay PCIe devices enumeration step on Supermicro motherboards in BIOS initialization? ( I've X13DEI ) (A.K.A. step "94 PCI Bus Enumeration" ) I've a device (USB card) which has firmware most likely needing extra 5 seconds before reporting ready status back to...

    BMC Header?

    Passive hubs (aka splitters) as mentioned above, for active devices google for "HW-585" - most popular cheap 3-channel controller (generates it's own PWM signal) with temp sensor there's also famous Corsair Commander with software managed via USB (includes RGB but this flashy stuff is mostly for...

    IMV this "idle power" priority doesn't seem to be consistent with a very nature of high-core Server grade Xeon CPU concept on a first place. For low idle states there are desktop cpus and "efficiency" cores.

    Has anyone tried if ASUS Z13PE-D16 support SPR D0 stepping? (and probably EMR ES/QS stepping flavours)

    H12SSL-I BIOS and Firmware Update with SUM

    I was always updating firmware on both : IPMI (more specifically BMC) and BIOS - via WEB UI (including promoting into Golden Image on resiliency actions) checked couple of times SUM too since it was part of download but decided not to bother because it was much quicker via regular GUI.

    Alibaba cloud is already running Emerald Rapids platform having 8575C cpus Here's sample bench with 4 CPU VM I'm still cautious about getting their older 8475B because of high possibility those having locked-out accelerators (via Intel's On Demand activation model), and still too high prices for...

    ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE + Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids SP ES = works it

    Since it's still Sapphire Rapids then mine 8461V showing these memory results. Write and copy are a bit lower of course (around/below 200GB/s) P.S. screenshot from @JosefHrib above strangely shows worse speeds (except for L1/L2/L3 caches which are IMV a bit more important) despite having...

    Agree, it's old stuff, SPR are the same (plus some server extra features hardly of any use for home/desktop customers) as 12th gen Core processors, e.g. i7-12700 - which on e-bay go at around $160 with 8 P-cores, therefore $20 per core, those do have higher frequencies so if we adjust price for...

    LGA4677 Intel Socket related discussion placeholder CPU Motherboards RAM Channels Chipset PCIe BIOS BMI Heatsinks Cooling

    So we're ending up with the conclusion that subset of AMX instructions is offloaded to TMUL which is implemented as separate accelerator (just like IAA/QAT/DLB/DSA) with unknown number of those AMX TMUL accelerator units on each CPU model (not being specified on Intel' Arc). I guess for now we...

    Another related question - we have various Customer Sapphire Rapids custom CPU models spreading on a market, are those having extra features? or rather opposite - discounted result of failed binning with reduced functionality (e.g. AMX fails but CPUs can be used for Networking servers where this...
