note if the listing states e.g. platinum 8358 ES, don't expect the same features than production model 8358, the Brand String of ES is "0000" (show in CPU-Z and BIOS ) for good reasons.

imho you should go with EPYC SP3 platform ( because DDR5 is not in your budget )
QWAT 38C (2.2 - 3.4ghz) 270W $180
edit: QWAP is better but double the price

BIOS crossflash is not possible, too many differences.
the target motherboard needs at least a BIOS with 5th gen EMR support, then modifiy it IF ealry BIOS not work with A0
( e.g. ASRock Rack SP(2)C741 early/debug BIOS work with A0, later/official not, Hetzner worked with Q2SR )
Hello, has anyone seen issues with NVMe drives when using ES Xeons? I'm using Gigabyte MS73-HB1 with two ES 8480+. Everything works fine except for the M.2 slots. I suspected it might be PCIe lane conflict with GPUs, but even without any GPUs the NVMe drives are not detected. I also tried server grade NVMe drives (Samsung MZ1L2960HCJR PM9A3) with the same result.
sure, but you can have this also with retail used/worn out processors.
swapped CPUs to sort out a bad one ?
processors installed properly ?
what BIOS now ? tried newer BIOS ?
will be good to have a non ES to sort the motherboard out (M.2 voltage supply)
Will try this out.
All the cores are getting detected and BIOS is not reporting any errors. OS is also running without issues.
Currently running R11. I saw R12 contained almost no fixes, so didn't attempt upgrading (unless they are fixing things without adding to patch notes).
I think you were spot on here. I swapped the CPUs, but also tightened the holding screws a bit more than the last time. Both NVMe drives are now detected in the BIOS. Thanks for helping me solve this issue
on single socket you can just wait about 6 minutes, but this don't work on dual socket.
you can try a very OLD BIOS (e.g. T0x ) if available.
the CPU seller should provide a BIOS, if not PM me with motherboard model.
Hi guys,
First of all, thank you for sharing all this info on these forums.
I read through most of the posts, and as I see many of you with MS03-CE0.
I'm considering Asus W790 Sage vs MS03-CE0 (the goal is CPU inference with a bunch of fine-tuning with an additional 3-4 GPUs, Linux only), and I lean towards the Gigabyte mobo with 8x64 DDR5 5600 (JEDEC).
I already have a QYFS on the way, but I'd like to keep the option to upgrade to EMR (which is not possible with W790). On the other hand, the Asus board is advertised as a workstation board and I'm not sure if there is any significant difference if used as a workstation. I don't mind long boot times (I usually put my workstation to sleep), I don't need the management features, and I'm not intending to overclock anything. I have a USB audio interface and I'm fine without 20 USB ports.
For those of you who own the MS03-CE0 (or know it): are there any downsides of the "server" motherboard? Is S3/S4 sleep working?

Hello
Got 2 SPR HBM ES,
Ive tried multiple motherboard from asrock/asus/gigabyte, but none would boot with it
Any idea which motherboard support those CPU ?

QDF ?
QYGH = HBM A stepping.
A steppings are not supported by any motherboard.
edit: unless you will run early debug/test BIOS (full of bugs and vulnerabilities)
QS / PRD
Q2HS 9460
Q2HR 9462
Q2HT 9468
Q2HW 9480 (not on QVL but work)
single:
MS03-CE0
MS33-AR0
MS33-CP0
R263-S30-AAC1 (MS33-DC0)
MS33-CPA (OEM)
dual:
ASUS Z13PE-D16
ASRock do not support HBM (they run on SPC741 but HBM disabled, unpowered)

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased the SuperMicro X13SEI-F motherboard and am in the process of purchasing a compatible CPU. I've read somewere in this thread that this board doesn't support ES CPUs, except for a few listed here:
docs.google.com
I'm particularly interested in whether QS Xeon CPUs are compatible with this motherboard. Has anyone tested QS Xeons with the X13SEI-F? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

(EV-)QS are always supported.
we differentiate between ES and (EV-)QS
ES = not prod. cpuid/stepping
QS = prod. cpuid
EV-QS = "Early Validation" no final stepping but full brand string and handled like a QS.
generaly if you see the full Brand string in CPU-Z it work on supermicro.
e.g. "Platinum 8470 (ES)" work, "0000" = ES may not work
Thanks for the quick reply and help! I have ordered the Xeon 5411N QS now
