i can say only this: they work on MS73-HB2 - cinebenchR24 all cores 2800mhz and draw each around 350W.
i see scores only 88000 pts with 2x 8490H QS CBR23 but can be with only two RAM modules or whatever.
Haha i was also bidding on that one, my last bid of 580 did not get trough in time. Was really kind of frustrated about that. These Mainboards do not pop up very often, especially for these prices. My only imaginary comfort is to think that it was maybe faulty, who would sell such a thing now, for such a price? I feld almost bad for the seller. He seemed a nice, guy even sent me a screenshot of when he bought it. In Europe these boards are hard to get, by reputable channels at the moment, even if you are ready to pay double of this. He also bought it from ebay, and seller in China, there is almost no other choice, but probably not very good warranty, i don't know maybe Gigabyte is not so picky with sales channels.
Electronics operating in environments outside/above characteristics these were designed for - tends to rapidly degrade and drifting away from initial specifications. e.g. VRMs/MOSFETs handling higher currents will likely to get permanently distorted parameters (gates/junctions don't function as designed) or get overheat damage (same with capacitors operating above specified temperatures) - not necessarily in one day (for instance with warranty of 2 years it gradually gets permanently glitchy in just 3 months, with first unexpected PC crash in 1 month, then in 2 weeks, then more frequently), generally systems becomes unstable leading to crashes/freezes/lockdowns, this kind of mainboard damage mostly is not covered by warranty.
lol, he's italian, who knows.. might be a scam, or a perfectly valid trade. I bought my xeon E-2186G from a private italian seller for 220 EUR now 2 years ago, it's still a good price today. maximum risk, maximum gain.
What? The crypto market is driving some demand for Sapphire Rapids? Which coins?
the cheapest of them MS73-HB1
yes,sure, check manual for PCIe Slots/conns going to CPU1(secondary).
here you can calculate the monthly and annual value of your mobo + cpu.
Yesterday i spoke with an ebay seller he run a single QYFS on MS73-HB1 with two memory sticks 4800 and got 63K CBR23, which is pretty amazing because a QYFS in ASUS W790 is doing about 65K, with fancy power and thermal settings, all dimm slots populated and 5600Mhz mem. Also the MS73 has 2 M.2 gen 4 directly to the cpu. But then again if the board is only for 270W, and you run a 350W cpu, there might be some long term durability issues as discussed above. But maybe if you only run one 350W cpu instead of two 270W maybe there is no problem. Strangly enough the MS73 seems to have more power connectors than the Supermicro X13DAI-T which is ok for 2x350W.
Is there anything known about the QYK8, in regard to compatibility with Asus w790?
it is sometimes just price politics.
i bet if you ask if QYFS works on ASUS W790, he answers the same, most seller do still not know.
SPR-SP D0 ES2 can do DMI4 (PCH<->CPU interface) maybe this is initial required,
well i have not tested this model but ALL D0 ES2 i have tested are working on ASUS W790 ( QYFQ,QYFP,QY06,QY0C,QYFS... )
what in tarnation is this fake news, you can get any Gigabyte motherboard you want for MSRP right now https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=50001314 100161257 8000&Manufactory=1314 and it is beyond the realm of possibility that Mr. Trump has any connection to the price of bootleg server processors on eBay
Depends on the workload, on one end HPCG and its use cases are entirely bandwidth bound, some AI workloads are as well, on the other end dense matrices and ray tracing are not bandwidth limited at all
Sorry but thats an MD72 not MS73. On Newegg all MS73 are sold out, but after seconds or so, the sold out disappears any you can request a quote, but they are not in stock. And try to find one in Europe, its even more difficult. I dont know the market, good enough to know if this is normal, or different as usual. But i have heard before that people are worried about the Taiwan situation, and decided to buy new systems now before its to late.
Ofcourse Everything depends on workload, but i still think its a good question.
Fair enough, the 2S version seems OOS everywhere. Still not believing its a conspiracy though...seems like regular out of stock, I've seen similar stock issues from Asrock rack before where entire products would go out of stock for a few months at a time, then reappear.
