Thanks JosefHrib how do I go ahead and set that? I seem to have an issue with aspeed being the primary driver.

Windows 11 24h2 is running fine now, even without using any parameters to disable secureboot and tpms as suggested. Thanks everyone, the issue was conflict between aspeed driver and my gpu

Hi everyone. Reading this thread over a month now. Are all SPR-SP's Production samples works on W790, not only Xeon-W's?

no, QS don't work. only SPR-SP stepping D0, and early E0(Q03J,Q08S)
i am not 100% but i guess the reason is:
SPR-SP's Production support only DMI3, W790 talks in DMI4 (SPR stepping D0 support still DMI4)

Easiest way to install Windows is using Rukus to flash the usb. Rukus disables Win 11 hardware requirements so you don't have to do it manualy.

On a separate note, I cannot install ubuntu on my machine as well. It seems like another problem :) I need to reset the ipmi password. Does anyone know if W790 has default IPMI password or was it on a box or board?

Thanks! I must have forgetting the password then because I remember using the IPMI.

yeah ipmitool is the problem. it only runs on ubuntu/linux and couldn't install ubuntu when I tried last time. I will try again, probably I need the latest Ubuntu.

W790 is an awesome motherboard btw, still one more in the garage as backup. Wish I could have bought one of the discounted ones for $300 but even at $800 used no complaints. I am especially happy as I learned about the saphire rapids refresh being available for this platform, 3-4 years later, I may get one of those chips to run under water for overclocking.

i run it on windows 10...there is a dos one. maybe a similar ASUS tool too.
ipmiutil should do it too, there is a EFI one.

Yeah but IPMI tool on Windows does not use the special channel for local access, it uses regular TCP/IP and it needs username/password to connect.

Let me know if I am wrong here. When I run ipmitool on the box, it is asking for hostname

The SAGE layout is excellent.
Currently running a Q03J (80 lanes) with RTX 4000 (Slot 1) and 14(!) NVMe PCIe x4 DC SSDs via M.2_1 & M.2_2 and AOC-SLG4-4E4T (Slot 3&5 for U.2) and Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 (Slot 7 for M.2).
Even VROC works.

On the Asus W790 Sage is anyone having issues with rear I/O USB C connectors? My cables seem to be pushed out too far by the I/O Shield which has a very narrow opening to the MB connector. Its as if it needs an extended USB connector.

No it works fine for me. I don't remember if there's an io shield. You may need to reseat the motherboard to i/o shield and make sure it is aligned well for close fit if there is io shield.

I am having an issue with my 10g ports. They were working all fine before. The ports functional and OS sees the network csrd and both ports but ports do not get connected to switch/router and does not light up. Basically failing at ethernet level. I tried 3 different switches and routers. They're all 1g but ports should have worked with them.

Anyone has an idea what the issue could be?

Question - How to properly connect one power supply to the ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE motherboard? Very often I see on the Internet photos that with one power supply, additional 8-pin connectors are connected to the upper connectors ATX_12V(1)_1 and ATX_12V(2)_1, when in the instructions on pages 62-63 it is shown differently.

example: https://www.servethehome.com/wp-con...90E-SAGE-SE-Single-Large-PSU-Installation.jpg

Is it possible to damage the board or are all the connectors paralleled and can I connect it this way too?ASUS-Pro-WS-W790E-SAGE-SE-Single-Large-PSU-Installation.jpgsingle.pngdual.png

When I owned W790E-SAGE so I used with my power supply Seasonic TX 1600W ATX3: 1xATX_PWR, 1xATX_12V, 1xATX_12V, 1xPCIE_8P, 1xPCIE_6P.
For second ATX_PWR you need second psu.
