This might not give a direct answer but as an idea - in my experience majority of potential interference issues are solved by using regular airflow redirectors for instance made of common baking paper rolls (it's non-sick, non-conductive {cellulose}, high-temp resistant and quite cheap, therefore you can experiment with shape and scissors without much worry of running out this disposable material), although it doesn't keep shape very well (there are trays for baking made of more solid material) but at least is a feasible solution for prototypes.. To precautionary protect all critical areas you can add those flow control channels on both sides - from tower intake to cooler and then from CPU cooler all the way to exhaust (as long as those channels don't obstruct other airflows much, e.g. GPU, PCH/chipset, RAM, etc.). It's much cheaper than trying to amateurishly replicate safe server-grade airflow control solutions from HP/Dell using say plastic 3D-printing (which can also get toxic on higher temps {e.g. emitting chloride compounds} if wrong materials are used).
asus c621e SAGE supports not real overclocking because Xeon scalables are not unlocked.
I forgot who but there are users that installed 2 Noctua NH-U12S DX-4677 on MS73.
Something like this? First picture is without 50mm fan tunnel, 2nd picture is. VRMs on MS73 HB0 with dual 8480+ QYFR get to 130c plus, now never over 80c full load at 3200 all core with PP level 4.
Yeah, I had to clean every stick with isopropyl to get my DDR5 to be trained and picked up. 8 channel+DDR5 RDIMMS=crazy picky!
Frustratingly recently had to return 16 sticks on MS73 QVL, but Gigabyte said sticks made prior to 2022 don't work LMAO... reporting "Old Dram Vendor Detected"
No, but someone is selling 4 (currently) on ebay: Q2Y8 Intel Xeon 5TH Gen 24-Core 2.1GHz 45MB 185W Emerald Rapids SP ES Processor | eBay
I was told that. but have you seen the GB for sale anywhere ?
