I sent the board back. Does your RAM happen to be on the QVL? I realized that none of the sticks I have is on it, but I figure that should allow it to get farther than it did and the CPU wouldn't be cold.

I now have a working Asus W790 Sage SE tested with a W3-2423. For using it as a workstation board (I already have an Asrock with a QYFS for anything I need for XCC) would a W5-3423, a Q071 32C/64T 2.70-4?GHz (similar to 8462Y+), or a Q079 16C/32T 3.30-4?GHz (similar to 6444Y), or another ES I'm not familiar with be the best starting option?
The ES units are cheaper and would get me access to the NVME lanes, but not all of the PCIE.
The W5 is the bottom of performance for the WX-3 range and apparently has lower single-core performance despite reaching higher turbo speeds (according to Passmark results, at least) but has all 112 lanes available.

How is everyone's setup going?
I seem to have an issue with Windows 11 24h2 update and conflicting display drivers nVidia with ASPEED. Using LG C3 as a monitor.
Has anyone tried the latest bios version 1502?

after fresh install, install first ASPEED drivers without NVIDIA Card installed, the add the Card...
For me newest drivers for ASPEED works without problems with RTX4070 Ti SUPER and last build Windows 11 24H2.
I was getting a black screen, so had to boot into safe mode, DDU than install drivers and restart which seemed to have resolved the issue...
Also I have been facing issues with windows updates...

Latest bios seems to be working, however, (a) unable to select memory speed (b) have to amend the cpu c states
Regarding (a) I wonder if there is version of AMI bios editor that is compatible with this bios file so we can re-enable the bios menu items for memory speed settings.
Reverted back to 0805, manually selected the memory, also amended the c states and all working fine now...
Seems anything beyond 0805 their is no xmp or memory selection

Sorry if this has been answered already. I was going to build an Epyc setup but that kind of was an epyc failure hah. Is there a list of all of the ES Xeons for this board and their max clock speeds? For some reason I thought I've seen it before but can't find it.
I appreciate the response. I believe you mentioned that the QYFS will do 3.7GHz with half the cores disabled? Do you know if there are any higher max turbo speed versions? Thanks.
QYK8 D0 56c 1.9 - 4.0Ghz(1-28c) 350W ebay link
QY0C D0 32c 1.8 - 4.0Ghz(1-16c) 250W (rare one i have, taobao/goofish only)

I have a question, W790E-SAGE says that it has octa channel memory. so theoritically with 4800MHz DDR5 ram, how much memory bandwidth can we get on this, has anyone run any tests to confirm it, can someone please let me know?
my rough math says 300+ approx but want to make sure it is approximately correct?

theoretical bandwidth never fits. depends on the used benchmark software. and AIDA64 e.g. just adds results of all cores, you never know what the per core bandwidth is.
