The firmware on these ES cpus has always displayed the microcode version for some reason. So the 006 or 00B is probably a microcode included in a beta bios
I just realized that i got trolled by HP, the Bios version that potentially contains one of the MCs was taken out of their SPP driver and firmware package and replaced with another one. Direct download is only possible if you registered a machine on their site. So far it looks like none of these MCs was ever released anywhere or just vanished from the internet. The V27 MC is the same Threadripper 3xxx uses just like it is with naples, the ES Epycs also share the same stepping/CPUID with the TRs again. So you take the good with the bad, MCs are easily replaced but they are nowhere to be found.The firmware on these ES cpus has always displayed the microcode version for some reason.

Does this even exist? I thought they never released any open source AGESA for Zen.What’s the state of the open source bios for Epyc? Is that usable on any board?
They have plans to do so for Epyc, although I think it's not finished yetDoes this even exist? I thought they never released any open source AGESA for Zen.
I think the CPUID of the Epyc Rome CPUs is 00830F00, so microcodes for that ID will work.Bought 2S1404E2VJUG5 few weeks back, have some broken capacitor matrix, but beside that, looking in good health. From what I've see this missing capacitor should not be a problem, for a POST at least.
Waiting for H12SSW next week, but from what I've red so far I'm not optimistic at all.
Yesterday I made the effort to download all vendors bioses who offer motherboards for Epyc 7002 and what seemed strange is that all contain 2 microcodes (some 4, I suppose for Naples, starting with 80) - 00830F10 and 00830F00 with revisions 08301025 and 08300027 respectively.
Today I started downloading bioses for TRX40 motherboads - Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, MSI - all contain exactly the same microcodes.
Which makes me wondering, does Epyc 7002 and Threadripper Gen3 have identical CPU IDs ...
As I said, I'm waiting for Supermicro H12SSW-in to arrive next week, but as far as I understand, you've tested this combo and it's a no go?I think the CPUID of the Epyc Rome CPUs is 00830F00, so microcodes for that ID will work.
What's your current motherboard?
Welp, tried the H12 board and the post code is still FF. I don't know what's wrong anymore.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the CPU isn't cold, it is infact getting warm. There's physically nothing wrong with the CPU either (no damaged capacitors or gold contact plates)
Well I've tested the ZS14 with it, not a 2S14 sample, but I didn't get it to boot on thereAs I said, I'm waiting for Supermicro H12SSW-in to arrive next week, but as far as I understand, you've tested this combo and it's a no go?
Haha for sure! Would you mind sharing a photo of your chip?So far waiting for motherboard, haven't tried anything. Should arrive next week.
Between ZS and 2S version, ZS is the better one as it is Qualification Sample (very near if not identical to retail version) and mine is ES1, which is the earlier version of ZS. Added to this, we have screens form Sisoft Sandra of working H12SSW and ZS. 2S is advertised to work with H12DST, but beside this board can't be bought standalone, I suppose it won't support the 2S either. There is a worse chip than mine, which starts with 1S and is ES0 (first release)
I estimate my chances from slim to none, but will know next week. Miracles happen, it's Christmas after all
Some broken off capacitors, not sure how those will impact your luck on trying to get it to boot
Yes wrote exactly the same a few posts before. It was the same with naples.Bought 2S1404E2VJUG5 few weeks back, have some broken capacitor matrix, but beside that, looking in good health. From what I've see this missing capacitor should not be a problem, for a POST at least.

ZS is not a QS CPU it's also a ES with the A0 stepping like Tr 3. QS CPUs have B0 retail stepping and the retail SKU as name.So far waiting for motherboard, haven't tried anything. Should arrive next week.

Yes, but still pretty far from being almost identical with a retail CPU.Yes, all are ES. It's not ES when the first letter becomes a "P" according to this

It's not a decryption given by AMD officially, but seems logical and reasonable, that's why I said ZS is Qualification Sample.
I was absolutely right about this.I was blind but now i can see...
All the 32MB Bios versions for Rome contain 2 Bios images 1 for naples and 1 for Rome, the first padfile belongs to naples doing anything there won't help. (UEFITool fails to display 30% of the 2nd image btw).
Your ES has the CPUID 00830F00 MC in hex (27)003008, but the microcode is present in the second image of your rom.
But this information is pretty useless since i still think it's not a mc issue...
Some ebay sellers vaguely suggest that these ES chips are compatible with H12 boards.
