Anyone here tried getting a Xeon 8272CL/8275CL working on a Supermicro X11DSC+ motherboard? (in a SSG-6049P-E1CR60L system)

Have some Supermicro SYS-1029U-TN10RT systems with X11DPU boards.
This board is mentioned in this thread as one which people have modded before.

X11DPU
JVRM1 and JVRM2 have 3 Pins. remove Jumper and connect to Pin2(middle)
JVRM1 pin2 = SCL
JVRM2 pin2 = SDA
edit: TPM/PORT80 Header (JTPM1) Pin 6 = GND

VRM controller addresses are 50 and 52.
For the X11DSC+ I cant find anything. JVRM pins are also not indicated in the manual.

check first if you need the mod. some OEM have already ICC_MAX=255A by factory.
Mine are not OEM but Supermicro original. But will check.

JVRM jumper are not for users. but i found them in the manual. 3 pin JVMR=remove jumper and take the middle pin.
I see there are two versions of the manual. On the version I was looking at the JVRM is not on the drawing. Found a different version and it is there.

Thanks very much for this. Should have some CPU's to test with in the new year and will post back if I was succesfull with the X11DSC+

My mcp2221a has a short to ground on the 5v rail... I had to order another as I wasn't able to see where the short was 'short' of removing components... a few more days.

Those pins worked for the ML350 Gen10. Looks like they used the same addresses as the DL380 you mentioned previously. Unfortunately, it appears that I have some bent pins on the second processor socket and am getting errors when trying to boot with the second processor installed.

Thanks again!

I was able to fix all the pins with the help of a microscope and steady hands! She's working great!

I'm able to mod Dell T7820 to work with 8259CL
[[ EDIT - I GOT IT, Yes you need both CPUs and Yes, you can use PJPP2 on the tray ]]]

Hello, I am also trying this mod on a T7820 as well. I have successfully modded CPU 1, but when I try to run the program for CPU 2 or the "62" it fails and when I scan it doesn't detect anything for 62.

I had the second CPU out of the computer at the time, I'm not sure if that effects anything.
should I try PJPP2 on the second cpu tray?

I have updated the bios to "Precision_7820_7920_2.43.0" before I began.

I know I just posted asking, but I had an idea and went for it! And it worked!
For those looking for a non-soldiering method here is what I did with my Dell T7820

Thank you RolloZ170!

without the CPU installed(in socket), the VRM controller may be disabled. and the 2nd VRM controller (address 62) is located on the 2nd CPU tray.

Is it possible to do this mod and modify the bios on a Tyan S5630GMRE to support 255w
all CPU > 205W have TDC=255A and don't run by default, no TDP block required.
except the max.165W TDP models X11SPL/X11SPM we do not modify BIOS.

How would you modify the icc max, board won't post with high TDC OEM cpu's, ipmi reports cpu not detected and ieer but shows core voltages
