Hey, worth it buy nowadays? i am looking for change for my SuperMicro X9SRI. for some more power, efficient and less power hungry solution.

I replaced X10SRH with these mobos and mostly 5700x, for a bare spec with just mobo/cpu/ram/psu it cut consumption in half.

The even more power hungry X9 should have a significant drop.

The HardwareLuxx forums have quite a few people who've posted their idle power consumption with this board.
Ryzen Pro APUs are the most power efficient and support ECC. Non-Pro APUs are equally as efficient, but don't support ECC
Non-Pro Ryzen CPUs do support ECC and will consume around 5-6W more power due to their less efficient design and running PCIe 4.0 instead of 3.0.

My system has an idle power consumption of 33W, including the 2 HDDs spinning, which corresponds with the 18-19W people are reporting with the same APU but without HDDs.
I'm running Debian Bookworm with BTRFS on the boot drives and ZFS on the HDDs and haven't done any tuning using tools such as powertop yet.

What about bifurcation with amd PRO series cpu? i read somewhere that bifurcation not works with cpu which has integrated gpu. is that correct?

Hello,

I also bought MC12-LE0 motherboard, but I have problem to flash new BIOS to motherboard. Board came to me with BIOS F06. Firstly I have flashed BMC to version 12.61.21, at first try, so easily without any problems. I done it via EFI shell, I simply copied whole extracted "server_firmware_ast2500_AMI_12.x.zip" (v 12.61.21) to pendrive and run bmc_fw_update_uefi.nsh.

Next, I tried to flash BIOS using BMC. I downloaded "server_mb_bios_MC12-LE0_F13.zip", extracted and used it to firmware updated. Of course I selected BIOS update. To be precise: BMC -> Maintenance -> Firmware Update -> Select file -> (selected: "server_mb_bios_MC12-LE0_F13\RBU\image.RBU") -> Start firmware update -> Update type: BIOS -> Proceed to Flash
Then file is uploading to 100%, but flashing stops on 0% and then I receives "Failed due to update fail" and next "Firmware reset has been called. Close the current session, and open a new session after a couple of minutes.". That is all, BIOS is not updated, I tried about 10 times.

I also tried with one RAM memory mounted in slot A1, the same. I also tries with F11, the same, no success.

I also tried with EFI shell. To do it I downloaded "Aptio_V_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility.zip" and copied "Aptio_V_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility\afu\afuefi\64\AfuEfi64\AfuEfix64.efi" (v 5.16.02.0111) into "server_mb_bios_MC12-LE0_F13\SPI_UPD\". Then I call "f.nsh", but I receive quite below error:
BiosFlash.PNG
Next I cancelled flashing, due to above warning. It looks that BIOS does not match to this motherboard, if I understood it correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, In BMC I can find that Board Part Number is 123456789AB, Product Serial Number 01234567890123456789AB and Asset tag the same. Quite strange for me, do you have the same IDs?

My HW configuration:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3600
- RAM: 2x Hynix HMA82GU7CJR8N-VK T0 AC (DDR4 16GB 2Rx8 PC4 2666MHz ECC)
- SSD: Lexar NM620 (but for now empty)
- PSU: CHIEFTEC SFX-350BS
- MB: Gigabyte MC12-LE0 rev 1.0 of course :)

Best regards,
Konrad

This is not true at all... 5700x max power draw around 75w, and 5950X around 120w stock voltages ofc

Intel chips on the other hand will draw 300w at stock on cpu alone (13900K)

This is your problem, that case with those fans + psu setup.
Do you have a whatever standard desktop psu you can try with and see what it pulls?

For a dual psu supermicro case with high rpm fans you could stick a 6-10W celeron in it and get close to 100w.

We have them in a datacenter, there is no space for desktop components as the rack is completely full.

If you are running them with that bare a spec then a pico psu + power brick sitting in psu slot of case works great.
That and less power hungry fans should get you under 100w.

For low wattages the psu setup is a world of difference.

You can perhaps try flashing to F11 first? Did you try different browsers or perhaps redownloading the BIOS package?

EDIT: TO answer your question about part numbers, I have the same 012345... numbers.

Yes, I tried with BIOS F11 and I downloaded F11 or F13 few times. Always the same problem, "Failed due to update fail" via BMC and "The ROM file information does not match the system BIOS!" via EFI shell.

I forgot to add that I also tried via installed Windows on HDD, the same problem "The ROM file information does not match the system BIOS!".

Question to other colleagues that updated BIOS, how did you do it? BMC/EFI shell/Windows/Linux? Which tool version did you use?

I read in this thread that some colleagues had to leave only one RAM stick, placed in socket A1, without succes in my case.
