Hello folks, I just bought MS03-CE0 ATX and 8480 ES QYFS but no luck posting it, the motherboard came with R17 bios, is it suppose to work with this bios? does anyone have older bios?

work with any BIOS.
work with BIOS up to R16/R17 (depends on mobo model)
please do proper CPU install. press pwr-btn (flashing LED is the BMC who is running with standby power(PSU switched on)

thanks @RolloZ170 for the quick reply, BMC is flashing and I am able to access the BMC UI; do you suspect the CPU isn't seated properly? I am using a single 1000w PSU both primary and aux CPU power is connected.

thanks @RolloZ170 for the quick reply, BMC is flashing and I am able to access the BMC UI;

sure you can access the BMC with system powered OFF (just PSU switched on)
have you pressed the power button ?

do you suspect the CPU isn't seated properly?

was often the issue, some are not brave enough.
have you used a 0.9Nm torque screwdriver ?

>sure you can access the BMC with system powered OFF (just PSU switched on)
yes no error codes though CPU is detected

>have you pressed the power button ?
yes, it spins the fans for a few seconds and then shutsdown

>do you used a torque screwdriver ?
I did not, the cooler i have makes it difficult to use my torque screwdriver [let me see if I can try some other workarounds]

what cooler ? they should have T30 torx.
turn the four nuts crosswise but only 360 degree per stroke until the force increases(better use a torque screwdriver 0.9Nm first time)
you risk a burn out of the socket contacts if cpu is not properly pressed into.

I am using ARCTIC Freezer 4U-M, let me try with 0.9Nm

 

[as_662]

@RolloZ170 I torqued it to 0.9Nm, still no POST. The BMC is showing Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4416+ instead of 8480 ES, additionally. I am seeing DIMMs populating even though I only have 1 dimm at P0_A0 plugged in. The Motherboard was purchased brand new.

the board was tested with that hardware, this inventory will change after successfull POST. no POST = old data.

remove CPU and check socket. cpu maybe defective ?

I did seemed clean, on both [no pins showing visual issues]; CPU may be defective reaching out the ebay seller. Thank you for your guidance.

if u r in eu i can send you known working cpu.

 

[as_662]

Thank you so much let me try to run BIOS F09. I am in the US.

 

[as_662]

I tried to flash the BIOS using the image.rbu from the UI but it doesn't seem to be applying the F09 BIOS. Still stuck on the R17

I recently got a Tyan Tempest HX S5652 for a crazy good price. I'm assuming it isn't possible for this board to run ES SPR or EMR Xeons given that it isn't the Asus ACE board, or one of the Gigabyte boards. I just wanted to double check that that is the case though.

Alternatively, does anyone know the lowest cost production or QS CPUs you can get on this platform? I'm just looking to get something running for now.

It seems that Gigabyte removed support for the Xeon 4 4677 ES after the R17 release. Many of my friends have reported that after flashing the new BIOS, they were unable to use it.

ASRock BIOS is moddable, i guess Tyan too.
give me the link of the BIOS, I'll try my luck...
