Intel ES CPU QYG3 Motherboard Recommendation

[vernaldust]

Hello all,

I have recently acquired an Intel ES CPU LGA4677 QYG3. I am looking for suggestions for motherboards that are known to be compatible with the ES CPU. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi there is a xeon es thread here https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/es-xeon-discussion.5031/

also a thread here for the asus w790 ace/sage which are boards with support for some sapphire rapids es chips, search in that thread to see if anyone uses that chip you mentioned https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...tel-xeon-sapphire-rapids-spr-sp.41306/page-44

QYG3 stock official BIOS
Gigabyte C741 MS03/33/73 - BIOS up to R12(can vary depending on model)
ASUS WS W790 ACE/SAGE (need package C state tweak to boot OS)
ASRock WS W790 (need package C state tweak to boot OS)
note ASRock W790 and ASUS W790-Ace is quad channel only.

Also with modded BIOS: Tyan S5652, sometimes can be found pretty cheaply.
