It came with coolers, so its good to go. The QN5M would be perfect, Thanks!

I have a Dell R540 server and I want to put 1TB of RAM (16x 64GB 2.933MHz). I am looking for a CPU with 18+ cores and at least 2.40GHz. Could someone tell me if the Xeon Gold 6253CL or Platinum 8222CL are compatible with the Dell R540? Any other model that would be compatible up to $600 ~ $1,000?
sorry i was wrong in my last post(deleted) i had R640&R740 in mind...
Dell R440/R540 is shipped normaly with a missing VRM phase (4+1) and does not support 205W SKUs.
there is a special syste,-noard P/N which has all 5 VRM phase soldered. if you have this you are fine with the gold 6253CL.
I have 1x R440 and 2 R540 and I think they will not support 205W SKUs. =/

beside the VRMs. the heatsinks can not cool 205W.
Hi,
I recently got my hands on a supermicro X12DPL-i6 essentially for free. Could someone help me in finding an Xeon ES that would work with it. Ideally above 12 cores. Or am I out of luck with this motherboard?

look for stepping D0 like
QWAS=6346 ES2 16 core
QWAQ=6330 ES2 28 core
QWAT=8368 ES2 38 Core
QUxx & QVxx are B0/C0 and do not work on bios above 1.00
check if you can swap this board with X12DPi-N6, this supports B0/C0 ES1/ES2 with BIOS up to 1.1b (not with 1.2 and up)
'C' OEM custom CPU, specs are confidential.
except the 8273CL all 827?CL do not work on standard Motherboards.
for that reason i would say 8271CL will not on X11SPA-TF
Hi @RolloZ170, thank you for the fast and clear reply. What mod can be done on the Motherboard(X11SPA-TF)?
X11SPA-(T)F uses the more difficult to modd PXE1610C - but i was able to change ICC_MAX without the Manufaturer Software&Dongle.
refer to the posts with motherboard use the PXE1610C.

Hi RolloZ170,
Can you please advise what SuperMicro X12 single CPU MBs are available with BIOS 1.0 ?
Where I can download BIOS 1.0 for X12SPL ? Cannot find here https://drunkencat.net/misc/SupermicroBIOS.html ...

unfortunaly 1.0 is unofficial BIOS, and can not be flashed by normal way (IPMI / SUM)
we have to swap the BIOS chip. i replaced the chip with SMT socket.
PM you.

yes,
give me QDF and i can check.
if you want to buy one, take QYnn, better higher second letter than X, after Z comes '0'
QVnn, QWnn, QXnn are to old and need to work Test/Debug BIOS.
if you want to buy motherboard for test, avoid supermicro, X13 uses RoT mechanism, no BIOS modd.
gigabyte is best. Tyan/ASRock C741 boards lack microcode D0.
SPR-WS need W790 chipset(DMI4x8)
SPR-SP need C741 chipset(DMI3x8)
edit:
SPR-SP ES D0 run on ASUS W790 boards.
ASRock W790 WS BIOS includes D0 microcode too, but not tested.
