    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    Does anyone know what the correct cpu socket cover/cap is for the X10QBI. I've tried a bunch of 2011-0 to 2011-3 covers, none seem to fit?

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    My X10QBI does not recognize my RTX 4090 GPU. Tried different cables, adapters, external power, cleared cmos, tried fresh installs of Linux Ubuntu , Windows Server 2022, and Windows 10 for Workstations. Uninstalled driver with DDU in safe mode and reinstalled latest Nvidia drivers. The card...

    Yes, the PDB is located below the motherboard, right behind and at the same compartment level as the Power Supplies. The connectors will face you.

    Supermicro X10QBi Hangs when trying to enter Setup (Solved)

    SOLVED - Yes, it took that long to figure it out. Until now I just got kinda got used to it. The Intel Optane NVMe prevented me from entering the BIOS setup! I recently needed to replace my Intel 900P Optane drive as it's life expectancy went down to 25%. I have replaced it with a standard...

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    Thanks so much for all your input! OK, I will try Geekbench and if I don't see a reasonable improvement I will clear my CMOS and set up the BIOS again just to make sure. I will post my result. What an adventure :)

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I ran Passmark performance test, improvement was negligible. Shouldn't CPUz also show a higher frequency under the Memory tab? How do I verify the memory speed? What are you using? Thanks

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I have set it to 2:1 in the BIOS but it seems to have no impact.

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I have been through the posts multiple times but still can't figure out on the exact Lockstep settings to double (or significantly improve) the memory speed. I am running four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v3 procs. I have populated all blue slots in all 8 MemCards (Rev 1.01) with Samsung (32x8GB)...

    Supermicro X10QBi NVMe speeds (Solved)

    Yes, I went into Advanced Power Management Configuration and under Power Technology, I selected Disable. I am going to play around with P-states some more after I learn more about it.

    Supermicro X10QBi NVMe speeds (Solved)

    SOLVED. Indeed turning off energy savings features in the BIOS was the solution! All my drives working now close to the speed they should. AS SSD Benchmark tool reports a bit less than CrystalDiskMark but that is to be expected. Thanks so much to everyone helping me out on that issue!

    Supermicro X10QBi Hangs when trying to enter Setup (Solved)

    New Panasonic CMOS battery which I measured before installing, Sensor Readings are all good and in the green (SuperDoctor). All GPU's are verified working with original cables (also tried differnt cards (Nvidia & AMD, older and current). Yes, all my NVMe's are working. Watchdog disabled (tried...

    Supermicro X10QBi NVMe speeds (Solved)

    Tested the drives again in a Supermicro X9DAi (same OS, Server 2012R2) and they work fast as intended. Now I have spent another 3 hrs configuring the X10QBi Bios. Link speed checked, link bandwith correctly detected, all show up as trained. Booted fine, benchmarks ran, but no sucess at all...

    Supermicro X10QBi NVMe speeds (Solved)

    This board supports both cpu families. Depending on the type of memory risers installed v1.x supports DDR3 and memory risers v2.x supports DDR4. Not officially supported is a Xeon v3 with memory risers of type 1.x, but I have successfully used it in that configuration.
