the D0s can do DMI4 and are hermaphrodites.
but you can set the DMI speed of W790 lower if you want, some just don't want it to run.
( with ASUS W790 Ace i tried set DMI to 3 and tested SPR-SP E3 stepping QS - not work )
I love my hermaphrodite. :cool:

Do you have any information about SPR MCC ES R0 (806F3), how bad are they? are they also hermaphrodite?
unfortunaly i sold my ASUS W790 before i could test em.
i have two:
Q077 R0 32C 1.9 - 2.7 - 3.6Ghz 185W ( similar to gold 6430 )
Q075 R0 20C 1.7 - 2.7 - 3.8Ghz 165W ( similar to silver 4416+ )

Hi All,

I have a Gigabyte MS03-CE0 motherboard with a ES QYFS. The BIOS is F06. I'm trying to enable Resizable BAR but I'm only seeing 'Above 4G Decoding' option and it's enabled.

My linux is showing that it seems to be off for my Nvidia 4090 card.

BAR1 Memory Usage
Total : 256 MiB
Used : 10 MiB
Free : 246 MiB

There is no information in future BIOS release notes to say if it was enabled or not. Latest is R06.

Does anyone know if it's supported by Gigabyte SPR MBs?

I'm afraid to upgrade BIOS and lose support for the ES CPU. And the F06 Bios is no longer available for download.

Reason is I'm looking to take advantage of the recent hack that enables P2P memory on the RTX 4090 allowing 2 4090 to directly access each other's VRAM through PCIE. But Resizable BAR is a requirement for this to work.

you can go back at any time with BMCWebGUI (dump old BIOS)

Re-Size Bar should b esupported with R01 and up.
i have MS33-AR0 R03 with Re-Size Bar support, QYFQ and all other D0 ES2 working.

Thank you for the quick reply

What's the trick to get various version of the BIOS on Gigabyte site?

Latest bios seems to support my processor if the release notes are accurate:

Am I reading this right? My stepping is D0 as well

from cpuid command
processor serial number = 0008-06F3-0000-0000-0000-0000

you have to test it, just the existance of the microcode says nothing.
but the BIOS of MS33-AR0 and MS03-CE0 are very same, works for me, works for you.
have you made a BIOS dump of your F06 ?
