the QHUZ is a 20 Core ES2, but low frequencies as almost all ES2.
you should look out for a 18 core E5-2695 v4, with same or more performance as a 20 core ES2.
they go from $200 - $250 at ebay, sellers form north america too.
the QS is not much cheaper, goes from $180 plus ship&fees.
But how do you know if it's compatible with the following servers?

SUPERMICRO 1028GR-TR Motherboard MBD-X10DRG-H

and

SUPERMICRO 2028GR-TRT Motherboard MBD-X10DRG-HT


Thanks

I have a Supermicro 4028 ES CPU worked with it but it did not work on a Supermicro 4029

So not all motherboards support them. There must be guide or something to show if the motherboard will accept them?

Thanks

i am not talking about (bad) ES.
AGAIN:
you should look out for a 18 core E5-2695 v4(not QS/ES), with same or more performance as a 20 core ES2.
they go from $200 - $250 at ebay, sellers form north america too.
the QS is not much cheaper, goes from $180 plus ship&fees.

It was ES not QS that I tried
ES says nothing. ES0,ES1,ES2 ? some ES2 work, some not. just a different BIOS and the ESx stops working.
Do QS ones work on any motherboard?
if the matching production unit works, yes. QS and PRD share same stepping&microcode.
important to know is: ES with PRE production microcode do not get any updates after launch of the CPU series.
bugs and errata are not corrected, vulnerabilities stay unresolved.

Then I found this model: PXE1610CDN described in manual which is available on the Asus C621E-SAGE.
On infineon site I found information that PXE1610 can be programmed by PowIRCenter:
unfortunaly not:
PowIRCenter is for Infineon IR parts, PXE1610 is Primarion. Primarion was bought by Infineon. PXE parts can be programmed with PowerCode which requires a different USB dongle. can't buy this dongle anywhere so far.
The Dongle is a HID Device and uses a C8051F320, the Vendor/Device ID is VID_16C0&PID_06ED

I am trying to upgrade an HP Z6 G4 workstation with a QQ8M CPU.

Vendor stated compatible with latest bios, so I upgraded the bios.

I am getting no display and an audible error (three long/two short - memory initialization failure). I tried replacing the DDR4 2400 with DDR4 2666 memory, but no go.

Does anyone have experience with this motherboard/CPU? Alternatively, does anyone have a reco for a low cost mobo known to work with this CPU?

I have just bought a Project Olympus Microsoft board, presumably from Azure. From asking around on reddit it appears that these boards are fine with ES CPUs? Can anyone here confirm?

And how well would a single or dual Intel Xeon Gold 5218 ES QQ8M CPUs work in this motherboard, in a server application? Will virtualization work fine with QQ8M?
