@RolloZ170 Good morning, may I ask for a Bios for the MS03-CE0 REv 3.0; i just received it new and have an ES 5th gen intel 8570 CPU that I need to make work. I was guided to this forum to ask, and I just saw someone else request something similar to you. :)

I also have the issue of getting into the BMC of this thing because I don't see a sticker with the BMC password on the motherboard. I'm assuming these boards don't have a default, general username/password combination.

thank you

I'm sorry for my ignorance, are these modified bios for ES based Intel CPUs?
No, these are the official D15 ad D17 version which could boot up the intel SPR es. If you want to boot the SPR-HBM Ax stepping, then I'm afraid that it will not be able to do that, even D15, with mc added.

Hello



I hope you can help.


I have recently been gifted a Gigabyte MU72 SU0 rev1.0 LGA 4189 motherboard and Noctua NH-D9 DX-4189 4U CPU Cooler – these units are new.

I have been researching suitable LGA 4186 ES CPU’s for this machine and found a Xeon Platinum 8360Y ES QWAU - Stepping 6 CPU.

I have almost no experience with QS/ES CPU’s.


Could someone with suitable experience confirm if this QWAU Stepping 6 CPU with work with this motherboard? Will it require a modified Bios?


Thank you for any help or advice.

should work, but maybe not with latest BIOS (if BOOT Guard enabled)
you can downgrade BIOS im BMCWebGUI. don't need a working CPU.
found a screenshot of step 5 stepping C0 running on it with BIOS F23, so step 6 stepping D0 work.

Hello RolloZ170


Thank you so much for your insight and confirmation.

I will report if this CPU works with the Gigabyte MU72 SU0 motherboard.


Thanks again.

So these 2 versions still can't boot HBM Ax like QY**? I see 806f1 microcode already exists.
