SR2J0 Intel Xeon E5-2696v4 and supermicro

[jayjay]

Hello,

I got 2x SR2J0 Intel Xeon E5-2696v4 and I have a Supermicro 1028GQ with the latest bios version

I tried both CPU in slot 1 and the system just boots up and shuts down right away.

I have the previous CPU when I put it back it in the system works fine.

I also tried the CPU's in a 2028GR and the same problem.

According to the specs on the website it should support it, is there something I am missing?

Thanks

specs for the used board X10DGQ / X10DRG-H is up to 145W TDP
2696v4 = 150W TDP
but this may not the only reason: with two of this CPU the PSU may have to be a higher wattage(just a guess)

Here is the reply from Supermicro


This is an OEM CPU and our BIOS does not support it.

This can be confusing, but there are OEM CPUs that are built specifically for certain vendors and may be modified or need modification of the motherboard to use these CPUs. The giveaway is if you Google the model number of the CPU. For example, E5-2699v4 will have a link to Intel's product specification page (URL starts with ark.intel). An OEM version such as E5-2696v4 will not have a product page. Of course stay within the TPD of the motherboard spec, and memory as well.

Of course stay within the TPD of the motherboard spec, and memory as well.

the TDP is not all. the Thermal design Current(TDC) is more important.
i.e. intel LGA3647 scalables have TDC of 228A and up to 205 TDP
some (not working) custom OEM have 255A TDC - too much for the max. Current of the VRM.
OEM motherboards for the 150W TDP E5-2696v4 will have one or two more VRM phase to handle the higher current.

have you try the solution here?
please report back the result.
thank you.

magically cleared up ALL my problems.
The following two are disabled on the BIOS:

- Disable C6 State Reporting
- Disable Spread Spectrum
