I can set 5600MHZ in BIOS, but it doesn't take effect
Because of the ROT, this is almost impossible on the SuperMicro board
works on all W790 with steping D0 ( if supported, ASUS W790-ACE & SAGE SE, ASRock W790 WS)
but you can set UEFI variables with a tool(AMISCE,RU.efi) for hidden settings.
on my gigabyte MS33-AR0 the EFI code doen't allow more than 4800 with SPR processor, even XMP settings are there but no code for using them in the BIOS. and gigabyte MW83 W790 board does't support XMP too.

Solved the issue of system response slow, but the power returned to 150w
so "out of bands" mode instead of "native" for the "hardware p-states"
keeps the mesh/cache/uncore high active but the cores are energy saving.

if your FAN control is by Core temp the EMIBs can overheating, do only with Water.

well i have not tested this model but ALL D0 ES2 i have tested are working on ASUS W790 ( QYFQ,QYFP,QY06,QY0C,QYFS... )
btw:
ASRock W790 WS board keeps D0 microcode as well, maybe someone has the chance to check if D0 ES2 runs on it too, would not wondering me.
I assume QYFU D0 ES also works on ASUS W790 ACE? otherwise I'm thinking of buying xeon 8468 ES QYFQ for the ASUS W790 ACE since it seems to be the popular option.

yes.

QYFU is better option or QYFS/QYFR if you can.
QYFP is better than QYFQ if you don't need QAT accel. ( not tested if usable so far )
excellent, now i just need to find RAM to order for it, im considering the Kingston Renegade Pro KF548R36RB-32 RDIMM with XMP profile, hopefully those work

have not tested KF548R36RB 4800 with low latency. but with a modern motherboard like this the JEDEC PnP Profile should be no problem.

Q0KS look the same as the 8452Y on Intel's website, with only one default enabled DSA found. 4xDSA and 4xIAA seem to be locked by Intel On Demand?

Does it also have the Intel Speed Select Technology options and can you activate it in the bios?intelspeedselect.JPG
Intel on demand ..., i wonder if they are greedy enough to activate it on ES if you pay for it? But i guess not.

Maybe they can be activate,but not from Intel,and there are bugs in the accelerator before E3 stepping

Non-prod units (mostly ES but often even QS) are a lottery, I'm getting a lot of those (QAT, not DSA as per original post) with 8461V-QS despite latest drivers and all updates, although it might not be CPU but something else too.

Non-prod units (mostly ES but often even QS) are a lottery
ES = "0000%@"
QS = "...Platinum 8461v"
QS is same silcon than prod.unit w. same stepping, just ES bit set.
QS are thrown out to driver programmer, ES bit set to avoid them to sell them as prod.units, ES bit voids warranty.

Hi all, I'm new here so forgive me if this isn't the right place for my question. I searched around and couldn't find any info on my chip: I'm looking at a QS Xeon E-2136 sr3ww. Is there any difference (stepping, etc) I should be aware of between that and a retail chip? It's going into a MBD-X11SCL-IF-O

official QS are same silicon of prod.unit, just ES bit is set to exclude warranty & support for non-validated customers.
if you see the brand string " Xeon E-2136" with extended (ES) in CPU-Z it is QS, if you see "0000" it is not QS,

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Supermicro X12SPM board along with a QWAT/QWAP CPU. From searching this awesome thread, it seems it should work with BIOS version 1.6.

However, Supermicro has since then released a version 1.9. Does anyone know if that BIOS still accepts the ES2/step6 CPUs?
