I use dunkin donuts 4 cup holders, inexpensive. I like to keep the rigs exposed to get max cooling and or heat dissipation during summer/winter. But i am starting to put things into cases to cut down on my dusting and consolidate...
Plat 8272CL - 26 cores 2,6Ghz, 3,7 Ghz turbo. TDP=195WI managed to source two Xeon Platinum 8272CL for 800$ per CPU and wondering if they will work with Supermicro X11DPI-NT motherboard.
Unfortunatelly mobo isnt under warranty ;-(...if they have higher thermal design current(TDC) you can request a VRM upgrade from supermicro(if your board is not under warranty you can do the VRM modd yourself)
rev. 2.x VRM can be modded if requied (don't think so)Unfortunatelly mobo isnt under warranty ;-(
don't know: offtopic here, maybe question for new thread ?Can I use Noctua coolers with 7920 ?
the link i already there in my last msgMobo is rev 2.01A - could you please provide the link to the VRM mod ?
i meant you get more help in a separate specialized thread, no need to be sorry.Sorry for the offtopic. I'll edit it to keep thread clean.
the BIOS can reject the TDP in some board with up to 165Watts support, boards with 205W support normaly have NOT a TDP limit block in BIOS.just to be sure, the tutorial from RolloZ170 to patch the VRM on SuperMicro boards will not work on the X11SPA-T, X11SPA-TF, because these boards does not have the old needed BIOS2.x? I would like to run a 8273CL...
Thanks in advance!
Got it! Thanks for the clarification! So there is a good chance, that the steps for the X11SPM could also work on the X11SPA-T too? Then I would buy ElmorLabs device and would give it a try!the BIOS can reject the TDP in some board with up to 165Watts support, boards with 205W support normaly have NOT a TDP limit block in BIOS.
i.e: if you modd a X11SPL for 8273CL the CPU will start POST after the VRM modd but the BIOS will report a "over specs CPU" and reboots after some seconds. to overcome this you have to use BIOS 3.1 or older or remove the TDP limit of the BIOS. i have BIOS with 255W limit for X11SPL/X11SPM.
X11SPA should NOT have a TDP limit because the up to 205W support, if supermicro do one in the future the BIOS must be modded or you have to use an older one without TDP block then.
some times i had 79 with faulty modded BIOS. if some blocks are moved the BIOS comes corrupt.then the CPU is able to get past FF, yet it's stuck at code 79.
for the skylake ES stepping B0 i.e. you need a older BIOS (without 2nd gen support)Would I be able to chuck standard X11 firmware on the board and therefore any modded firmware, or am I stuck with the Nutanix specific firmware, in which case does anyone know which firmware would support the ES CPUs? They use a different naming conjecture.
I'll have a dig around and see if I can find an archive of the older BIOS's, the oldest that is easily accessible is https://download.nutanix.com/kbattachments/7812/NX11DPU1.B30.PU50.002.Signed.bin which would only be 12 months oldfor the skylake ES stepping B0 i.e. you need a older BIOS (without 2nd gen support)
if you have a file we can take a look in the BIOS.
looks not special, but has different BIOS ID which prevents update to regular X11DPU BIOS with standard methods. but with programmer should work. this BIOS includes two microcodesEdit: Managed to find an older BIOS: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ntnx-sre/G6-BIOS/PU21.000/NX11DPU8.808
Thanks for taking a look - would that mean with that firmware I should be able to chuck in a processor such as QL29 without modifying the BIOS, or would I still need to make some changes?looks not special, but has different BIOS ID which prevents update to regular X11DPU BIOS with standard methods. but with programmer should work. this BIOS includes two microcodes

no SKL ES microcode as usual.I'll have a dig around and see if I can find an archive of the older BIOS's, the oldest that is easily accessible is https://download.nutanix.com/kbattachments/7812/NX11DPU1.B30.PU50.002.Signed.bin which would only be 12 months old
QL29 should work yes.Thanks for taking a look - would that mean with that firmware I should be able to chuck in a processor such as QL29 without modifying the BIOS, or would I still need to make some changes?
