how update early/old ME but keeping the ES friendly config.?
replace only the code not the data.
some vendors like ASUS provide ME update package , its based on FWUpdate(Intel CSME Sytem Tools)
but i made it by hand with HxD.
if buy this mb, how can i confirmation its ME version is 16.10.0.1400?
If you buy a new x13sra you will NOT get a ES friendly ME.
the x13sra i bought was a board for evaluation, the seller couldn't update to latest BIOS because of ROM layout mismatch,
i sayd "no problem, i take it as it is...."

Gonna buy the ms33-cpa motherboard, would the q03j cpu work? Any quirks I should know about?
yes, stepping E0 (early and late) work, the BIOS is similar to MS33-AR0 e.g.
i have Q08S E0 running on it.
Also I assume the motherboard is some sort of testing sample as well?
no: MS33-CPA-V10 is OEM, not retail consumer market.
any BMC FW lists it in the etc/devmaps folder Zwischenablage_09-12-2024_02.jpg

Just found the perfect SPR-SP ES for heavy load. The code is Q28U and it reports as Xeon Gold 6459C. The stepping is S3. I haven't found no information on it so i think it is a OEM SKU but i have no idea which brand it is OEM to - i got it from a friend in "exchange" bundle. For some reason HWinfo64 detects it as Gold 6455B (no idea why). This processor cooks with fire - it goes to 3.9 all core under full CPU-Z stress load (3.8 all core under continuous Cinebench R23 load) and stays there pulling 370W from the socket. Tested on Supermicro and Tyan server motherboards with the latest BIOS - works perfectly fine. All i wish now is i can find it in the D0 stepping to put into my Asus WS until Xeon W7-34xx ES/QS/Prod will come down because W7/W9-35xx hit market and these will be replaced. This Gold is... well - pure gold :)

'C' confidential SKU for select customers.
HWinfo: CPU Brand name is out of the processor(cpuid) - HWinfo table is wrong, you ca report that to Martin if you like.

haven't found any MCC D0 350W ES
but Q071(MCC) is very close, only 270W goes to 3500 all 32 cores.

So how is your build. I am considering buying this board. Is it worth it? Not too many pcie slots! Is this a good motherboard?
except the 2 PCIe slots and the OCP3 PCIe 5.0 it is same than MS33-AR0 or MS33-CP0.
it runs any ES, D0, early E0, late E0 and all other.

Not work with the oc memory kit,2 week later coming another 8 micron 4800mhz standard module.
I think good board but if/or you want sound card,vga,ssd not so good.
I have another one this is Asrock W790ws very good board!
8480+ es working fine,with 4200Mhz turbo.

be fair. that's comparing apples and oranges.
btw. i have Kingston fury renegade pro 5600 and 6000s working fine but of course they run @4800 because server boards usualy don't support XMP or EXPO.

So is worth buying this motherboard for 370 euros?

wait, are those extra MCIO 8i slots? if so, can they be for anything other than system integration?
