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.
