BIOS for Supermicro X11DPi-NT to support Xeon 8171M

[vnhoanghuy]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run an Intel Xeon 8171M on my system, but I'm facing compatibility issues with the BIOS. My MB is Supermicro X11DPI-N.
I've checked several BIOS versions, including the latest updates, but I haven't found explicit support for this CPU. The system either doesn't boot or behaves unpredictably.

Has anyone successfully used the 8171M with a compatible BIOS version? Are there any workarounds, such as modifying the microcode or using a different motherboard that fully supports this processor? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

BIOS is not the problem but VRM ICC_MAX.

Now I'm missing the EVC2SX or MCP2221A so I can test again.
Thanks again!"

MCP2221a (Adafruit) is more universal and cheaper.
