Dell PowerEdge C6220 12 Bay CTO/BareBones - $750.00each (Group/Bulk Order!)

I thought the same thing.. but after applying the BIOS 2.5.3 to a C6220 board, it was not able to POST with a v2 CPU, unfortunately.

I would love to be wrong about this, but it appears there is a reason that they came out with the updated C6220 II hardware.

I don't have any to test with, but I an attest that all other LGA 2011 systems I have come across that support v1 cpus support v2. It is possible however that the C6220 is different. Did you update all the nodes?

Yes, I was surprised also since all SuperMicro LGA2011 motherboards seem to work with v1 and v2 (w/ correct BIOS).

No, I only updated one of the nodes.

I googled around but couldn't find anything to suggest that the C6220 should work with v2 CPU, I Guess that is why they made the C6220 II model. IT Creations has a youtube video that very clearly states only the C6220 II works with v2 CPUs.

Certainly this does not hold for the Rx20 series of servers, but if IT Creations bothered to make a video this is probably the case. Disappointing.
