I purchased a Threadripper Pro 3945WX from eBay. Seller says it is "Pulled from defective P620. CPU tested on M12SWA-TF motherboard." When I saw that I assumed that the CPU is not locked and should work on ASUS Pro WS WRX8 motherboard.
However when I tried to boot it for the 1st time today it didn't boot. QCode is 22 - which means it is DRAM issue. But I have changed to use a few different models of DDR4 3200 it is the same. I couldn't hear any beep. It just stops at QCode 22. I touched the back of the CPU it is warm.
Does this mean the CPU is locked to Lenovo workstation? if this is locked it shouldn't be able to be used on Supermicro motherboard as well. Is it right? Is there anything I can verify?
I read the post below: I began to doubt the CPU is locked.
