Thanks for the reply, finally got it to work I did exactly as you said on previous post. I used the 2.1.4.exe version, it does take a while to post but atleast its working. Good thing as I will not need to vrm mod. I will order 8272cl for the gigabyte.

╚═══╧═══════════╧═══════╧════════════════════╧══════════╧════════════╧═══════╧════════╧══════════╧══════╝I picked up some Gold 6268CLs and tested them on a HP DL380 G10, Dell R640 and a Supermicro X11DPU-G7-Ni22 with no success. The Dell and SuperMicro will not post. I tried 3 pairs on the HP with 3 different results; 1/no post, no fans, blinking front lights. 2/no post, fans on full speed. 3/I did get a display with a bunch of code being outputted.
CPUs were pulled from Oracle servers. I could've bought some 8273CLs as well but already have some 8270CLs at the same cost. 8270s work on any machine.

you might need a specific bios version. I forget the exact version.
Also if you want 8273CLs I have 4 of them available for sale.
see my post from last year about this, you need an old version of the BIOS in the DL Gen10 :
imho, it's not worth the hassle if the server is used in production, you're stuck with an old bios, HP warranty is gone and you must be 100% sure to never upgrade the bios, as it will immediatly brick the server. to downgrade again, you must swap the cpu with a supported one, then downgrade and reinstall your fancy "6268CL"
HP does not want its customers to use these CPUs , altough it works perfectly. I have 2 DL 380 gen10 in a lab running 24x7 on 6268CL with the old bios and they have been rock solid, not a crash or weird issue.

you need earliest BIOS with 2nd gen support. microcode 1C or lower.
if not avail. there is no way to mod. Dell BIOS (dig.signed)
read the PDF RelNotes, there is info about microcode.
BIOS 2.14
Updated the Processor Microcode to version 0x3302 for the second-generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family.
2.14 is much too new BIOS.
for 1st gen. you need 1C or lower 2nd gen.
same.
if there is no BIOS, you can't run 8273CL, sorry.
YOU NEED BIOS with 2nd Gen support and microcode for 2nd gen(cascade lake) 1C or lower
