IB - CPU Frequency Mismatches - Sun Falcon (Mellanox MHRH2A-XSR)

[gb00s]

I have a little issue while testing InfiniBand connections. While system (Bios-wise) is set to performance and the CPU governance is set to performance, I still receive the message/alert/warning of CPU frequency mismatches. Both CPU's are E5-2673v3's. The cards are old 10EUR eBay findings of SUN Falcons (aka Mellanox MHRH2A-XSR's). Firmware is the last 2.11.2010 and I'm unable to get RDMA working.

Here is a test result with the alert/message/warning:

Ok, I can drop the message with -F, but even aligning the CPU's to performance mode did not help or just lowered the gap of the CPU frequencies. Is there any more room for optimization in this case?

Thank you in advance.
