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!
