ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE + Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids SPR-SP

[RolloZ170]

my hesitation is
Platinum 8480+ ES 4th Gen
Platinum 8490H ES 5th Gen

8490H is 4th gen, 8590H will be 5th gen.
8490H ES QYFX is D0 step 3
8490H ES Q03J is E0 step 4

both the 60 and 56 core have TDP=350Watts. the 56 core has higher all core turbo which erases the ahead of 60 cores until you need the etxra 4 cores in any case.

work on any C741 board so far. can be changed with future BIOS updates.

I’d better ask again several times so as not to make mistakes when purchasing
If I understood correctly what you wrote, it turns out you can buy a motherboard from a SM X13SEI-F
looked at BIOS 2.1there is this microcode 06F8 the one you wrote about.
Or I'm wrong?

 

[AVID-MEDIA]

8490H is 4th gen, 8590H will be 5th gen.

You are absolutely right.
I was wrong.
Today I looked carefully at the table of the 5th Gen Intel processors and yes indeed 8490H not involved there

yes, this is the E-stepping container. if you use MCExtractor or a Hexeditor you see this MCU is valid for all E-Stepping cpuid.

Great! then my problem is solved
I'll order myself X13SEI-F + 8490H ES Q03J
while there is such an opportunity

Can you use all the PCIe5.0 slots on the ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V QYFU ?
Do the three motherboard M.2 slots works in gen 5 mode with that chip?

watch this video and everything will be clear to you
he also has a channel in the language you understand better

no. 8461V QYFU has 80 lanes, 112 are required to use all M.2 and slots.

Do the three motherboard M.2 slots works in gen 5 mode with that chip?

there are only two M.2 PCe 5.0 slots from CPU, third is PCIe 4.0 from PCH

thank you, do you know which ES or QS chip will serve all 112 lanes?

sure but don't ask where to buy.

I build mine with W790E-SAGE SE and 8461V, thanks to @RolloZ170. I haven't hit any issues yet and raw performance and capabilities trumps over LGA 3647 and LGA 4189 systems less than the cost.

what SAGE SE BIOS version are you using?

 

[Bert]

what SAGE SE BIOS version are you using?

Mine is old, 5.20 IIRC. I didn't dare to change it.

I have my eye on a QYFU (8461V) and am about to pull the trigger. Are all QYFU of the D0 type, or is it something I have to verify from the vendor?

all QYFU are stepping D0.

all QYFU are stepping D0.

Thanks!

Just an update re my purchase, the CPU is running better than W3 processor I had... More stable etc

 

[PaxRoma]

Whenever I try to install a memory into slot DIMM_A1, I got error code 29. The rest of the slots (7 out of 8) on the W790s Sage SE are fine. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I do not think it is the RAM that is defective because if I place the same RAM into a different slot it works fine.

 

[Bert]

Seems like bad motherboard or CPU. Try with a different CPU if possible.

check CPU pads and socket pins. have had same with ASUS W790 Ace and A1, was the board

 

[PaxRoma]

You guys are the best! I removed the CPU from the board, and although there were no visible damage on the CPU or the board, the reinstallation solved the issue. CrystalDisk Mark score also markedly improved .The motherboard pins and the CPU pads must have had some micro-misalignment or something.
