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...
It’s looks like there’s three BIOSs that have been released for this board. I’m not sure which you’d prefer so I’m posting all three. Though my guess is that the initial release will be the easiest to mod? I’d love to see QYFS or QYFQ running, though that seems aspirational.
The second one gives support for EMR.

2nd BIOS: https://www.mitaccomputing.com/en/downloads/details/MitacServer/S5652AGM3NRE-2T_BIOS_4584#

Thank you Rollo!
not Gigabyte: anything required is still there and stepping D0 listed as compatible stepping in the RelNotes.pdf
Intel stopped support D0 stepping in CSI/MRC code.
i have investigated this: R18 still start POSTin with QYFQ but stops at "Chipset Initialize... EE"
the fun last long but now it is over.

i have tested stepping D0(QYFQ) and R0(Q071) = stops at "Chipset Initialize..." code EE on screen
but BMCWebGUI shows ...0x00,0x04,0x06,0x0B,0x0C,0x0D,0x15,0x7F,0x00,0x7F,0x40,0x41,0x42,0x47
i have only Q08S as a E0 stepping and that ES still works fine:
ES cpu starting with Q0 should be usable. I have tested Q0KM. But, ES numbers starting with QY (such as QYFS, QY0E, QY36) cannot be used. I think this might depend on the step size...(in r17 bios)
the Q071 is same cpuid (806f3) than QYFS but non chiplet, called R0 then instead of D0.
QY36 is stepping C2, don't work with any official BIOS.
806F3: if the CPU is XCC(4 tiles) it is D0, and the single chip MCC is called R0 then.
but same cpuid/microcode.
I have some extremely cheap supermicro x13 4677 motherboards in my hand. I would like to ask if there are any recommended CPUs that can be used for the supermicro system.
I only have 6450c and some step 3 - 4 xeon 4 or xeon 5 es
QS and prod.unit/retail.
step 3 does not work, later step 4 work. 5th gen EMR ES does not work
( with actual BIOS, there may be a Test/Debug BIOS 1.0 full of bugs with ES support )
I installed the provided BIOS on my S5652 AGM3NRE-2T, it works and it added ES support - here's a screenshot of HWInfo64 with QYFS installed:try if this is accepted by BMCWebGUI firmware update
