    x11 x12 bios chips SOIC8 SOIC16

    It looks like supermicro has been using socketed 8-pin and 16-pin bios chips. Are these dual socketed chips both bios chips and one a recovery bios?, or is one for IPMI/BMC? Can anyone tell me the why they are not identical SOIC8 chips?

    LGA 2011-3 Upgrade Path?

    Maybe I am missing your big point. i7 chips are among the worst in the intel lineup and nobody else that I know would ever mistake the use case for a xeon e5 v4/3 with an i7 10th generation. Also neither the i7 nor the W-2200 series does dual CPU, and so I am not sure the point you are making...

    LGA 2011-3 Upgrade Path?

    seriously look into xeon w-2295.18 core/36 thread intel cpus from late 2019 for $1400 usd. If you have the nice lga 2011 coolers too they should work just fine on the lga2066 cpus.

    Xeon E5 V4 Expiration Date / Use Deadline: 2020/06/30

    I found this interesting, I grabbed the opportunity to buy 3 xeon e5 v4 with a steep discount from amazon.co.jp itself, not through a seller. When they arrived, in amazon packaging, very well packaged, I realized that one had been opened. I assume a heatgun was used on the serial number /...

    Supermicro Atom C3758 1u Superserver and IoTs

    I ended up picking up the Supermicro A2SDV-16C-TLN5F, Atom 3958, and I will put it inside an SC515-R407. This motherboard has 4x 10-GBase-T from an onboard Intel X557. In the PCI-E x8 slot I'm going to deploy an Intel X710-DA2. This combination should be a strong performer as a security...
