Hi,
Not sure if this problem widespread in homelab community nowdays. There are some HP and DELL early revision motherboards that refuse to boot E5 V2 CPUs. Adding microcodes does not help. I happen to have such mobo, and there are cheap 12 core V2 cpu around I want to make a quick upgrade 8c->12c without rebuilding whole server and spending extra for new revision (one time I got old revision instead of new, nobody care to check what they shipping).
I wonder if root cause of lack of support for Ivy bridge CPUs was ever found. Some topics here saying about preboot chips and programming it. If you know something about this, please share.
