Yes, Q2SR is very good cpu.
I envy you your eight memory modules. :) I have four memory modules so far. But good news, I have already ordered the other four, but they will not arrive until the end of the month.
May your processor serve you well.

Hello there,

Does anyone know if SuperMicro boards are compatible with Q2SR?

I'm currently using QYFQ, QXPQ and QYFS. I want to upgrade to something newer, but I'm not sure if it will work properly.

I saw in a neighboring thread that for Gigabyte boards you need to disable Authenticated Code Module on the latest BIOS. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to do this on any BIOS, but I didn't understand anything...

I asked many Chinese sellers, but they basically say the following: "I haven't tried the 5th generation. The 5th generation requires BIOS version 2.0 or higher. I don't think ES versions can be installed."

It seems to me that everything should work the same as on Gigabyte, I just need to tinker with disabling ACM. I hope that the microcodes are not cut, I don't even know how I can check this. In any case, it seems to me that this can be fixed, because there were programs like CoffeeTime for LGA1151.

Thanks in advance for any information.

no way. SM removed A0 support.
while other vendors BIOS can modified, Supermicro RootOfTrust(RoT) makes BIOS mods impossible.
Oh... It's very sad to hear.

I also have an OEM version of the Inspur server marked G220-B3. Unfortunately, I can't get any support, as there is absolutely no information about this server anywhere.

All the server software, including the BIOS, is dated 2023. All the 4th generation processors I have work fine on it, but I doubt that 5th generation processors will work on it without modifications.

Is there any chance to do something and add support for 5th generation?

at least the microcode must be in but that's not all. EMR cpuid is completely different range.
uncore support code is missing (Intel RC/MRC)

Hello, everyone!
I was lucky enough to get X12DPU based system not by the "Complete System Only" weird pricing. The next thing is to get a decent CPU for it.
My dream ones are 6326 or 6336Y for 3200MHz and enough fast cores. Yet they aren't old enough to be affordable on eBay. I have some time, but want to test the system on arrival and before the prod usage.
So, my question if there are any similar to the above-mentioned under $150 stable QS CPUs that will run on this MB? Or some 4310's is my best option now?

What CPUs are supported out of the box on the Asus Z13PE-D16?
Z13PE-D16:
SPR stepping E (possibly not early E0 like Q03J)
EMR stepping A1 (QS,prod.)
Z13PP-D32:
first BIOS includes SPR stepping D0 microcode, but not tested

Do I need to flash the microcode or anything else?
unclear. mostly that is not enough. SPS/ME can reject D0, apart from the microcode there is more.

even on most Gigabyte motherboards need a BIOS patch to run EMR-SP stepping A0.
maybe this applies to the Asus Z13PE-D16. if you are located in europe and have the board i can provide a Q2T7 for test.

thanks, but I'm still choosing a board :) what patch is required for Gigabyte?

if you have the motherboard and 2x Q2SR i can provide it ( if realy needed )
we have already 2x Q30G running on MS73-HB1 with a little help.
any details about making 2x Q30Gs running at the same time?
Bios modify required?
I have got some Q30Gs and Q2T7s
