Motherboard ES CPU Compatibility List
LGA 4677 Motherboard ES CPU Compatibility List Motherboard,Notes,CPU,CPU,CPU,CPU,CPU Generic note:,All Server MBs are compatible with E0 and higher ES/QS as they share same microcode as production E5. W790 Motherboards only work with D0 ES chips. No other chips will work them, including QS, prod...docs.google.com
@RolloZ170 , please updateYou have all the knowledge
Everyone, please contribute.
in the ES CPU Compatibility List,about 4189 Socket
you can add info for the mobo SM-X12SPL-F + ES QWAT
working good and stability with
BIOS v1.6
BMC v 01.03.05
I tested it from personal experience
BIOS v1.6 Bmc v 01.03.08
the system booting, everything is displayed, but, when you start to put a load on the cpu
the fans are loaded at full power, lowered and so on in cyclic order, that is, there is no stability
exactly the same situation with
BIOS v1.9 BMC v 01.03.11
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but on the other hand, the motherboard is completely new, SM replaced it under warranty
I'm attaching a screenshot so that if anyone needs it, I can see it
XEON-W work on X13SEI/X13DEI?
I have seen a discussion of this on STH somewhere , and some one said X13DEI with BIOS1.1 can run XEON-W
Has anyone tried it? I want to run XEON-W 2400 Series on X13SEI.

i have tested Xeon W3-2423 and Xeon W5-3425 on X13SEI / Gigabyte MS33-AR0
both not working.
we never got any proof.
In case that would be of interest to anyone, I've installed dual Noctua NH-U12S DX4677 on my Gigabyte MS73-HB1. Although it is officially incompatible, it actually works well. It is a bit hard to snap in the fan, but other than that, it is okay. I basically pushed the clip between radiators with my fingers from the side, which is suboptimal, but ok.
My 8490H ES E0 is barely audiable at its current state and stays relatively cool with 65C (149F) on CPU under my workload and y-cruncher.

I had a Chinese Coolerserver M97 as a temporary cooler, which looks like a U12S clone. I can also tell that while it looks similar, it is worse. Fans need to spin up faster on that, and temperatures are about +10C compared to Noctua. So unless you get it for less than 50$ per cooler, I'd probably recommend paying more for Noctua but just having a better experience. It was also similar size-wise, but clips are way more complicated to install than Noctua (it would be no difference in that regard on a single CPU motherboard though).
What are these cards for? Never seen them before.
I am using Freezer 4U-M | Multicompatible 4U Single Tower CPU Cooler | ARCTIC. Marketing says it is "compact" but it is huge but amazingly quiet. I don't hear any fan noise, even outside of the case. I chose that one because it was the cheapest but I am very pleased for a single socket solution. I don't think it will fit a dual socket MB.
From left to right: Mellanox ConnectX-5 x2, Mellanox ConnectX-6 x1, Mellanox ConnectX-5, Mellanox BlueField-2 (ConnectX-6 DPU), Mellanox ConnectX-5 - bunch of network cards as I'm using that thing as a dev machine to test network cards performance, patching some opensource projects around that and slowly drafting my own packet generator.
Yeah, doesn't look like that, because of the fan orientation.
Are there any motherboards that could possibly work with a QXHU 112L sapphire rapids C1 stepping 4677 eng sample? I tried a x13-swa and a w790 sage se, no luck. Someone mentioned ~30 pages ago that dell or Lenovo boards might support as far back as A0? (Which would be cool, somewhere I have some A0s too).
in any case you need pre production BIOS which comes usualy not with the board/server.
if you get them to work youhave to live with many issues, BIOS full of bugs.
i have some C steppings too, but D0s are cheap and E steppings come, makes no sense trying older steppings to work.

Makes sense!
Bugs are fine, this is just for fun if it even was possible.
And yes D0 and E steppings are cheap unless they are workstation skus! Or I am missing some only aliexpress listed qs samples or something haha.
beautiful women, most frivolous
in our case, in this thread we need to choose what seems to me the golden mean
Yeah same, there are some okay deals for 3465x’s for 1800-1900 I guess, given the msrp is ~3k, but otherwise yeah only a few 100 off it seems.
Hmm interestingly, that is what my qyfq does on my x13swa, but worked fine on my w790 as expected.
Yeah I know/knew that, I did it by accident once. (my cpus have an adhesive graphene sheet on them and I didn’t label them…they are now though!). Just saying it was 00 on my supermicro board - is that what you mean by not a RoT firmware? What is RoT firmware? Root of Trust firnware? So they are not encrypted?
