Hello! I am a homelab player in China. Thank you for providing such a great guide. I have made my LNV HR650X run normally with a high TDP CPU (P8124)
There is an old saying in China, called 'When many people gather firewood, the flames rise high' (I am not sure if this translation is accurate). I will list my BIOS modification tutorial and some server compatibility tests later in the following text. The tutorial is translated from Chinese, and some parts may not be fully conveyed. Please forgive me. Additionally, I would like to ask if you agree with me translating the tutorial you published into Chinese and then posting it on the Chinese internet (of course, I will indicate the source and author)
The following is the main points of the tutorial I wrote on CPU selection and BIOS modification for the LGA3647P0 platform
1) Detailed explanation and existing problems of each step CPU
2) Guide to adding microcode to AMI BIOS (taking HR650X as an example)
3) Compatibility test results of high TDP CPUs from other manufacturers
Provide the following documents
1) H3C C35 C32 platform (R4700G3 R4900G3 R4300G3) full-step BIOS file
2) Lnv universal 1U 2U platform (SR650 SR630 HR650 HR630) full step BIOS file
3) Lnv tower workstation (P720) full step BIOS file (if anyone has obtained the BIOS file for P920, please contact me privately)
4) MMTOOLS AMIBCP5 Intel CSME and other tool software
5) All microcode for the LGA3647-P0 platform
6) Intel microcode update manual
7) Other miscellaneous items (all microcode for the C612 platform, E5V3 forced Turbo frequency modification tool, bootguard modification method, insyde h2o BIOS modification tool, etc.)
The microcode for each step is extracted from the Intel C620 series design specification server NeroCity, and in principle supports all LGA3647-P0 CPUs (FPGA CPUs require modifications to the motherboard rather than BIOS)
I will post the guide and document in the forums after finishing them in a few days. (Currently, the high-power modification test of the Inspur node server is in progress.)
At present, because the guide has not been completed, I would like to remind HPE DL560/580G10 server users that there is a four-way whitelist in HPE's BIOS. Currently, my testing does not support four-way P8124 and P8136. These two CPUs only support dual-way or single-way on DL560/580G10. It's quite laughable, isn't it. The current test results can support the CPU after step 4 to perform four-way. Including the ESCPU of step 5, which is the platinum ES CPU starting with QQ.
At present, HPE's BIOS can be said to be unsolvable. The public-private key encryption mechanism of ILO5 cannot be cracked. ：（
Sorry about that. Anyway, so much thanks!
