if you tweak the system to multithreaded performance you wonder you loose single threaded ?
max single core boost works only if many cores have NO LOAD(idle 800mhz), with windows high.perf. that realy rare happen.
I have a question. Does the Gigabyte MS33-CPA motherboard support the ES version of the Xeon Max CPU? I can buy a xeon Max processor with the code QYGG for $200.
QWAT & QWAP are D0 and work. so if QX97 is D0/D1 it should behave same but not tested.
i have never seen any screenshot of a working one.
Any ideas on getting a pair of Q2P1 (8952+ ES) working on a Gigabyte MS73-HB1?
I know it's not the latest ES but it's all I could get on eBay currently.
Tried the bios that the mobo came with and the latest, can get into IPMI to update that and BMC.
Mobo power lights come on, can access IPMI, but if I try to boot, the power cuts off within about 1 second and doesn't work again unless I unplug the ATX cable and re-plug. Tried a second PSU already that's known working which was my first guess, now I think it's the CPU microcode.
I was under the impression Gigabytes work for ES CPU's but guess not in this configuration.
It's model family F model F stepping 1.
Thank you for your time!

no, the microcode is there.
you have other issue, bad CPU, bad CPU installation.
system should turn on, maybe no display but it sounds you have a short circuit or overload.
have you any pictures ? maybe we can see some missing cables e.g.
i have seen Q2P1 only at ebay, not on goofish nor taobao, no further info, which is weird/strange.

currently no vendor runs EMR A0 ES with latest stock BIOS. all need a tweak (or old BIOS with 5th gen. support)
It's saying my photos are too large to upload.
All cables are connected though, 2x CPU, 2x PCIe, 1x ATX.
Current specs:
4x 64Gb ECC DDR5 (in correct slots according to manual)
2x 8952+ ES CPU's
MS73-HB0 motherboard
2x Gen4 WD_Black 8tb NVMes
GeForce RTX3050 LP GPU
MSI AI1300P PSU
About to re-seat the CPUs as all cables are fully clicked in and will report back or find a way to lower the camera resolution to upload.

To users with EMR-A0:
We tested Q30G and Q2SR on ms33 and ms73
These cpus are able to run with R10 and R11 bios, without bios modification, ONLY TESTED IN ONE SOCKET,
Also, directly use these bios will cause really low performance of these processors...And a long POST time more than 10mins

I noticed it as well. It took 5mins to boot up with q2t7 on ms03 ce0 with R11 versioned BIOS. But it eventually failed at upi link initialization (not sure)
I checked the BIOS image and found that the cpuid of EMR A0 was actually listed in microcode section
it just blacked out after UPI initialization with the BMC. So not sure about the root cause
you need special tweaked BIOS for EMR A0,
i noticed Q30G and Q2T7 behave very different.
i had that once(no display) is typical gigabyte issue sometimes,
re-plug VGA conn. to get picture....
i checked that with MS33-AR0 BIOS R10(latest for this) 5 minutes to POST, even at windows reboot.
but we have all the time in the world thought.
