max. what the CPU supports.
with two DIMM per channel the speed is also lowered because of electrical load.
Thank you for your reply. I am using the 4585PX. I tried using other memory modules as well, and finally succeeded in running at 5600MHz with Crucial memory featuring Micron chips. Now, I am looking for higher capacity memory modules (such as 96GB).

Good day all.

So, I secured a H13SAE-MF, an Epyc 4565P, two 64GB Crucial CP64G56C46U5.M16B1, a 2TB SKHynix P51, and an Intel E610-XT2.

To this, I am bringing a NIB nVidia A4000 Ada SFF

The Crucial Pro's registered/trained (took two coffee breaks, and some laundry), are operating at DDR5-5600, and produce no errors.

Sometimes with satisfaction, comes frustration:

For the life of me I cannot get my A4000 Ada SFF to play nicely in either of the PCIe 5.0 slots. I tried Ubuntu (still testing the board), and lspci 'sees' the A4000, but I can't get the drivers to load. Same results with a random Win11 nvme install I had here.

It took a lot of random BIOS changes to actually get the little SFF to actually boot (disabling IOMMU seemed to be the key to POST, but I would like to use this, later . . . many of the other BIOS settings don't make a lot of sense to me).

Have spent a great deal of time trying to diag. (which is a little over a long time, as I currently teach HS FT + a Master's program)

[I've almost lost the joy of experiencing what could be a very performant GPU, but the persistent frustration of having spent USD1K for it keeps my hope alive for a little longer]

In thinking that the PCIe 4.0 GPU was having trouble being negotiated (maybe back-compat issues?). But, I noticed that you--Darkguy--are successfully using a PCIe 3.0 x8 card in your system.

Is it in Slot#6/4, or Slot#7?

Thanks!
Having H13SAE-MF no matter what I do board does not recognize my Qlogic FibreChannel controller (PCIe 3.0 x8), despite it's basic PCIe compliant device recognized in X12SPL-F and X11SSM-F boards + HP and ASUS desktop recognize cards allright.

There is something fishy with H13SAE-MF PCIe implementation - maybe PCIe splitter/MUX is the reason?

Which OS are you using? RHEL?

Check if your pci id of your fibre channel controller is in this list:
Thanks for advice, but problem lies in PCIe detection/recognition routine in BIOS.
Once I configured SLOT6 bifurcation to "x4x4x4x4" then Qlogic card is detected OK by BIOS + OS (Win and RHEL), but of course running with 4 PCIe lanes only.
Setting can be found under BIOS:
Advanced tab -> PCIe / PCI / PnP -> CPU SLOT6 PCIe Bifurcation (default: disabled) = "x4x4x4x4"

I've written couple of mails with SuperMicro and let them know my observation - so let's see if they have "willingness" and are "pro-customer" oriented and will fix this "bug".

Hi guys, Can you display CPU TDP in h13sae-mf? Mine is null, and I can't display any information about the graphics card.

I also do not have a value there for the CPU. With patience I get some CPU and package temps on the Sensor tab. Sad truth is AM5 is too limiting for storage and peripheral configurations compared to the threadripper of yesteryear -- throw in the AI craze and yeah... Supermicro could care less rn:confused:

I also had issues with an older Gen 3 PCIe HBA and agree some funky stuff was going on w/ Supermicro firmware. Basically 2 months thinking I was about to make it work only to return the hba.

This PCIe Gen 5 x16 AIC w/ Redriver to 74p Dual MCIO adapter card and ASM1166 M.2 to 6-port SATA adapter are working now for my setup though. Well... almost.. I need to get networking done with the 1 M.2 slot left...

I am having a heck of a time with a crucial 32GB UDIMM (non-ecc) in slot B1 by itself. No POST and it's a fairly standard module imho (CT32G48C40U5). Both the supermicro ram that came with the system and a kingston valueram from amazon work fine (both also 32GB, non-ecc) udimm. Post code in BMC/IPMI says it's stuck at C5 code.

Anyone have this dimm working? I have the latest BMC firmware &The latest bios I could find (2.5a)

Also wondering if I'm going to have any issues with an epyc 4545p. System came with 8700g. I have Supermicro AS-C531I-11102U which comes with the H13SAE-MF. Motherboard is rev 1.0 if it matters.

You don't need to physically disable the VGA port of the AST2600, just do it in the BIOS in "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->Onboard VGA Function". That's why there is no image, the white Supermicro Logo/POST messages are only output to VGA and after that the GPU of the AMD APU takes over.

By the way the bifurcation in BIOS revision 2.3 is unchanged:

Will the Delock 90169 card work in SLOT6 with x4x4x4x4 bifurcation? I'm thinking about buying the H13SAE-MF and add 4x U.2 NVME on using the delock card.

Settings for best GPU compatibility:

Advanced->Chipset->GFX Configuration

dGPU Only Mode: Disabled
iGPU Configuration: Auto

Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration

Onboard VGA Function: Disabled (causes EFI framebuffer issue on FreeBSD when HDMI port on the mainboard [iGPU] is connected)

With the "dGPU Only Mode" on "Auto" or "Enabled" you won't get an image when you plug the cable into the mainboard HDMI port (couldn't test DP).

After connecting the HDMI cable back to the dGPU I just noticed that the EFI framebuffer issue in FreeBSD (GhostBSD actually) is back.

Enabling the "Onboard VGA Function" (BMC) fixed that issue again.

So my new advice would be to disable this function only if you use the iGPU port on the board.

I just saw they released BIOS version 2.7 but they don't seem to allow guest downloads anymore, you need to login/signup with a business account.

That would be in alignment with the policy that they do not sell standalone mainboards anymore. They seem to focus on working with Nvidia in the more profitable AI sector.

WOW. What an absolute slap in the face for people who bought this before this policy was in place.

im done with Supermicro, but i guess they’re done with us. Sucks to be left holding the bag and get screwed as a consumer.

What the ****?
Just WTF is this?
Can you at least simply register or do they have to confirm you are actually a business entity?

Are they even aware their products are regularly sold to end customers and probably always will?

I mentioned it in another thread already but I had my (nearly a year old) order for a H13SAE-MF cancelled last week if I didn't also buy a CPU (that I've already bought) through Supermicro at some unspecified markup (I never did get a response on what the actual price was going to be).

As I said over there also, it'll almost certainly be the last SM product I ever attempt to buy.

One can still get this board standalone from (for ex.) newegg/provantage/amazon:




I got mine from newegg last year. Additionally, I have always had to log-in with a SM account to get the BMC/BIOS...I am not a Business, and I can still get in for resources.

This being said, I can't seem to get 2.7 installed, and registered with BMC (Setup says 2.7, but BMC says 2.6) *shrugs*
