might convert mcio to pcie slot. Not sure if 2 x8 mcio would work as single x16 pci though. But mico x8 to pci x8 (mechanical x16) should work in theory.

danger. I assume that this does not work
the MCIO conns of the MS33-CPA-V10 are labeled U2 (NVMe) and are very sure not usable for PCIe purposes.
the BIOS detects NVMe drives, the lanes are not available for other usage.

sorry, if I'm wrong here. Thought they should work as those M.2 nics.

heared about ASRock Rack boards where you can't use M.2 for PCIe NIC's for same reason.

Thanks @RolloZ170, as been said tons of useful info ! Used M.2 on old notebook and it worked as pci x4. Thought might work the same.

@ RolloZ170
Does the MS33-CPA offer VROC?
The white 4pin connector right beside the battery looks like a vroc header.
Thanks!

Those 4 mcio ports are really tempting - the lack of pcie slots and the fact that you have to waste the ocp slot for a proper nic are not.

I'm afraid they can't be used as PCIe, only NVMe(e.g. U.2) drives.

So does the MS33-CPA come with the vroc option?
I'm asking because the MS33-CP0 does not (which is a bit unexpected).

I intend to use the mcio ports with u.2 dc ssds.
A retimer card with only 2 ports costs around 200€ alone...

on the MS33_CPA-V10 i see the same conn. with "SW_RAID" label as on the MS33-AR0,
but i can't test if vroc is realy working.

look like 3 person have bought the ms33-cpa on eBay

at least 4, there are two listings, one international and one for germany
they are offered on other platforms too.

Final settings.
Good board fine working.

What CPU that for x40 multiplier? Also assume caches L2/L3 lower/worse due to interconnect and dual socket? @RolloZ170

good question. SPR cores can use L3 located at other socket but in real world this should never happen.
nobody knows how AIDA64 is coded.

@RolloZ170 might be farfetch, do any knowledge on Intel P-8136? 1st Gen 3647 Platinum-- Kinda like 8176? Trying to mess with core disabling to achieve max all core boost of 4200 this OEM CPU reports

P-8136 28C stepping B1 50653 only supported with stock BIOS by gigabyte.
165W base clock 2Ghz, max. turbo(1/2) 3,5Ghz all core 2,7Ghz non AVX
B1 = many bugs, don't buy.

Trying to mess with core disabling to achieve max all core boost of 4200 this OEM CPU reports

Don't trust any statistics you didn't fake yourself

 

[Cythisia]

I have it on flashed C621 WS SAGE, hwinfo shows random 4200 max boost on occasion, probably one of those bugs? Running this Level1Techs Link but otherwise has been decent CPU

just words, makes no sense to talk about.
no locked Xeon SP can boost all core to max. turbo.
