Do you know if there is an application like one i used to edit the BIOS menu items in the times of X99 chipset? I think it was called AMI Editor or something? I'm trying to find a way to enable Resizable Bar support in Tyan BIOS. Is there a version that works with the new BIOS format?

I do not have one yet :( But with the standard BIOS the QYFS was a no go so i'm optimistic.

I installed the provided BIOS on my S5652 AGM3NRE-2T, it works and it added ES support - here's a screenshot of HWInfo64 with QYFS installed:

They only work on a small set of motherboards and these are fairly expensive.

ASRock W790 (original, not cheaper v.2) has separate clock for PCIe which allows higher BCLK overclocking without rendering modern GPU or NVMe drives inoperable.

Totally different use cases. ASUS board is expensive but can run pretty cheap ES variants of Sapphire Rapids like the famous QYFS 8480 D0. This processor can be purchased for like $100-$200 now. ASRock Rack on the other hand is cheaper but it will not work with these cheap processors so you will...

Ok, that is impressive - having PCIe 4.0 gpu running at that clock, AsRock outdid itself. Are they doing PCIe redriving or something?

I was able to get about 109 but only with the older PCIe gen.3 GPU. With 3090 once I clock over 102.5 it stops being detected. Same goes for PCIe gen.4 SSDs - no matter what connection I was using they just weren’t working.

I don’t get it. Where’s mining’s favorite x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1? :)

I’m not doing anything special, just set the memory speed in bios. Not playing with the voltages or timings. Maybe you need to try different versions of bios. I remember on some versions the memory overclock was not working in exactly the same way - system was ignoring the settings I made and...

The stuff hwinfo64 reports is weird. I mean - for some reason it counts memory reference clock as 50 instead of 100. So, yeah, super-strange.

My score on 8641v on W11 and Supermicro board was closer to 58k. That’s one of the screenshots I still have.

That is the strangest looking CPU I ever seen. Starting with the fact that it does not have a logo. On D stepping Xeons Intel used an old round logo that looked like this: On E stepping and retail chips Intel uses a new square logo that looks like this: Your chip has no logo at all. Plus it...

Can you please post the photo of the CPU headspreader? I wonder what stepping is this ES.

It is empty right now. Buying stuff testing it and selling was just a hobby, I am not an entrepreneur. And after latest tax changes any sell of any item that costs over $600 will make me to pay a lot of taxes unless I literally start tracking what I bought for what price, did I get any profit...

There’s a nev BIOS - 1202 available on the Asus website. Do not upgrade - that bios has most of the overclock functionality disabled, including manual memory speed and bcklk settings. Had to revert to 0805 to get them back working. Just a PSA from a guy that does risky shtuff so you do not have to.

Asus W790 motherboards built to withstand much more than 350W - I mean they are made for overclockable Xeon W CPUs and has durability to unlock their potentials under liquid nitrogen cooling. Both ACE and SAGE variants have a second set of power connectors to accommodate hooking up two power...

I do not have any SM boards of that generation. Being an ASRock fanboy the only reason for me having any SM boards was that 4th gen ASRock board was delayed so I had to buy SM X13 to test my processors :) And even that board is gone now - I’m switching to ASRock soon so I gave my SM setup for my...

I confirm. ASRock Rack SPC621D8-2L2T with latest BIOS, Xeon W-3375 QS (QXZL) works perfectly fine.

Ouch. I don’t even think I have any Naples based processors left in my collection. Is this an issue with Gigabyte boards or is it a generic AMD issue that BIOS can serve only one generation of Epycs?
