I ordered these. I assumed they are a standard height.

Yeah, but I wanted an ATX motherboard with 8 ram slots and remote management. That narrowed the field greatly -.-That is a lot especially for a single socket board, all of my DP boards have been 250 or less. Which is also a bit high but whatever.
NIIIICCCEEE! Glad you got it working and did not give up, so you think for sure it was an issue w/ the proc not being able to see/recognize all mem slots on board?Hey, third times the charm! Swapped out the third CPU I ordered and it worked - all memory slots seen! Now I can finally get around to building my AIO!

You want to drill and tap. But frankly I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. As long as you have a reasonable amount of holes + prevent the board from bending when applying force for cards etc who cares.I measured mine and they're 6mm. I ordered some female/female brass standoffs from Amazon. Gonna see if I can mount them to the MB then put some ink on the bottoms and mark the plate so I can drill holes and screw them in from the bottom. A lot more work than using the plastic standoffs.

Generally, they maximized the use of lines from the CPU1. And use lines from CPU2 for the rest.At the dual processor motherbord folks: what happens to the PCIe slots if someone only populates one cpu socket? According to the the supermicro manuals it looks like the half number of the PCIe slots seem to be associated to the first cpu socket and the rest of the PCIe slots to the second cpu socket...does that mean: only 1 CPU = only half number of the PCIe slots usable?
Which EBay seller did you buy the CPUs from?Definitely the proc ... neither of the first two were packed very well - the pins were exposed in shipping - could have been bent or otherwise damaged. The last one I received was packaged much better, and it worked, so there's the difference!![]()
Have you determined how many holes do line up? If it's at least 4 I might screw the standoffs to the board and let them just act as free floating spacers not attached to the case.You want to drill and tap.

yeah i second that, those who had a good / bad purchase. Rather pay a bit more for quality shippingWhich EBay seller did you buy the CPUs from?
So I could avoid them in the future.
Many thanks
I believe top left and all the middle. If it feels really loose I can drill a hole and use a 6-32 nut on the rear.Have you determined how many holes do line up? If it's at least 4 I might screw the standoffs to the board and let them just act as free floating spacers not attached to the case.
Yes, it works just fine. I just used impitool like this. I think I got these values from @whiteyAnyone with a SuperMicro X9 board been able to get access to the BMC\IPMI in Linux to manipulate the PWM values for the fans directly via /sys/class/hwmon? It looks like it should be accessible via the w83627ehf kernel driver, but the box can't see it when trying to load the driver. It also shows up in a sensors-detect and when loading the ipmi drivers into the kernel.
Gaining access to manipulate the fan speed directly would be awesome in helping to balance fan speed\temps over SuperMicro's wonky default fan\temp curves.
