Would anyone happen to have a link to a Q3W7 8592+ on Taobao or Goofish?

if you mean this, it is a defective CPU.

I was thinking about trying this on a Gigabyte MS33-AR0 with a Q3W7

Q3W7 is QS stepping A1 not patch required.
stepping A0 was working until blocked by BIOS update.

Oh OK, I wasn't sure what the stepping cutoff for emerald rapids was on Gigabyte boards. I saw that it said it was defective, but I thought it might have meant in terms of it being an engineering sample vs a production processor. Do Q3w7 come up often on Taobao or Goofish? I saw another user saying they had bought one for 130 EUR so it sounded interesting.

there is currently no consumer motherboard with EMR A0 support(means with uptodate/actual BIOS)

sure, as 8592+ "display" mostly means QS
(ES2 A0 shows "0000" = no display)

and he reported he got it and the CPU is working ?

Rollo this is the SPR ES C0 stepping microcode?

yes. i have thousands, but can't take any advantage of it.
i also have many Debug BIOS for SM with C0 support. but without ES BMC Firmware you can't flash it.

When i make the Asrock w790 ws bios with this mayby working?That dont have BMC.

BMC is only problem at Supermicro with Root of Trust Firmware.
i doubt you get over POST code "cd" but good luck !

Ok.
Another..What about this microcodes?

MCU C06F2 fits also C06F1 EMR A0 - same cores ( microcode ext.header)
this is just extraced that way by MCU Extractor.

Then like this also good?

 

[RolloZ170]

same EMR-SP microcode. C06F2(A1) includes C06F1(A0)

Thank you!

I was referring to this post https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-xeon-emerald-rapids-emr-sp.46162/post-452414 between you and arabus

I don't know if I misunderstood, but I never saw a reply by arabus saying he received it.

the one "defective" is still for sale.

Hey all! I'm thinking of buying a Gigabyte MS73-HB1 from Newegg, 2 QYFRs from eBay, and 16 sticks of 64 GB DDR5 4800 ECC from Amazon for use in a project on calculating satellite ephemera and then follow-on LLM use. My understanding from this thread is that that will work, but I wanted to check with the experts here. Also, is there any advantage speed-wise (vs. compatibility) for the QYK8 vs the QYFR? It just seems like for the $450 price point I might as well go for the Q03J or QYFX. Thanks!

 

[RolloZ170]

the TDP plays the game in multithreading. but the QYK8 has 4Ghz boost (only if 28 cores are lazy)
note it is hard to put load on all cores in dual socket configs. the used software must be capable of this.

Thanks so much for the reply! It seems like for my use case (less experienced user, application that occasionally goes to fewer processes), the single socket QYK8 with a GIGABYTE MS33-AR0 might be the right call. Although the QYK8 costs about the same as the 60-core QYFX, the QYK8 has higher boost clock speeds. Are there any other advantages / disadvantages?

QYK8

2x Q2SR EMR-SP stepping A0 (A1 = production)
you can buy them alone for 1666 yuan and take any gigabyte motherboard, i can provide working BIOS.

I purchased a Q2SR and a MS33-AR0 could you help me get the modified bios to make this work? Thank you for all of your help answering so many questions and sharing your knowledge.
