    Ubuntu 20.04 boot problem on SM X10DAX with 2xE5 26xx cpus

    Thank you. Bios was updated to the latest version some time before. The culprit has been identified. As I have written elsewhere in the forum I have successful applied the "all core turbo" unlock bios modification to my system months ago. This works for any E5 26xx v3 (only v3) as long they are...

    Ubuntu 20.04 boot problem on SM X10DAX with 2xE5 26xx cpus

    I am new to Linux. Trying Linux/Ubuntu 20.04 on my SM X10DAX mobo, cpus 2x E5 2683 v3 (2x14 cores). Machine is working without any issues under Win10. Linux boot wont work, freezing on Supermicro boot screen. If I introduce drastic Linux options in grub, mainly nolapic or (better) acpi=off...

    E5-2678v3 - $90

    Hi VMan I just completed this unlock on my Supermicro X10DAX board using two E5 2683v3 (QS, stepping 2). It can be done pretty easy and reliably. Just consult my experience on Miyconst's page, I have been using the handle "Polar" there. As pointed out many times, your Xeon E5 v3 must have at...

    Supermicro X10DAX - No crossfire?

    Tried two RX 480 cards in slots 1 and 3 in this dual xeon mb, both socket occupied, system working with no issues. Cards are recognized, bandwith is fine, but no crossfire option in AMD settings. SM lists sli but not crossfire as a feature for this board. Can anybody confirm that crossfire will...

    x10dax does no recognize gpus in slots 4 and 5

    Thank you. Which options exactly could these be? I have checked to rom options and read the sm manual (MNL-1563.pdf) for quite so time (ok I am not a professional). But I did not find anything helpful. Pcie-options are mainly about boot options. I did not change anything there. There is no...

    x10dax does no recognize gpus in slots 4 and 5

    My sm x10dax dual xeon board (dual e5 2683v3 on board, working fine) has stopped recognizing graphics cards if they sit in slots 4 and 5. Slots 4 and 5 are associated with the second cpu (according to manual). Slots 1,3,6 work fine. These slots go with the first cpu. Gpus in 4 and 5 do not even...

    Too bad. SM support wrote something similar.

    Supermicro X9/X10/X11 Fan Speed Control

    Thank you. I have already swaped the psu for a quieter one, made a big difference. Will follow your other suggestions. Nonetheless, Supermicro should expand the options for fan control. SM support told me that they are well aware of the issue.

    Supermicro X9/X10/X11 Fan Speed Control

    I have have a X10DAX, which is non-IPMI, so it seems that I am left out from this. The bios-settings for fan control are not fitting my needs. Any other hints for a more fine grained fan control for this board (except for external fan control)?

    Chess workstation - home edition - noise

    My system runs Win 10, and standard Chessbase GUI software, but that's just the GUI. The engines matter. Stockfish 7 is available for many platforms. Chess benchmarks, nontrivial issue. :) Mostly kN/sec (kilo nodes per second) are reported, the number of chess positions evaluated by the system...
