Thanks a lot! Your label is totally correct. I was able to boot with dual 8175M after the mod. The addresses are 70 and 72.

cpu in socket and powered on ?Do I have any luck with an X11SPW-TF ? I tried to scan with MCP2221a but didn't find anything
some X11SPW (nutanix) do not need VRM mod. what CPU have you tried ?Do I have any luck with an X11SPW-TF ? I tried to scan with MCP2221a but didn't find anything

some X11SPW (nutanix) do not need VRM mod. what CPU have you tried ?
if the scan doesn't find anthing you have bad connection. where did you connect it ?Did the scan while server was on stand-by with a 4110 installed. Should i power it on and try again?
The only connector I could find is JVR1. pin1 = SCL pin2 = SDA pin3 = GND. Did swap 1 & 2 to test as well.if the scan doesn't find anthing you have bad connection. where did you connect it ?
can't do anything from here. check connection.The only connector I could find is JVR1. pin1 = SCL pin2 = SDA pin3 = GND. Did swap 1 & 2 to test as well.
Will try again, thankscan't do anything from here. check connection.
MCP221a can be bad (happened)
bad cable (not well plugged)
Bad cable was the cause. Did the mod... Please add X11SPW-TF to the list. Thanks for the helpWill try again, thanks
not much diff. same controller, but if you use MCP2221a it doesn't matter which.Hi Rollo, is it known what VRM the X11DDW-NT board uses? and any differences between rev 1.11 and 1.2?
it is a server motherboard for 1U/2U chassis with jet-air FANs. the Heasinks would disturb the Airflow,both CPU1 and CPU2 do not seem to have a VRM heatsink, will there be any possible issues causing blown VRM?
@RolloZ170 thanks for the details. Since I am using it in a desktop case, will it be better to stick with a X11 DPI with a higher revision no. like 2.01a and install the VRM heatsink for CPU1? will that be sufficient with the updated VRM controller and proper cooling, or should I be looking at other boards? Thanks!not much diff. same controller, but if you use MCP2221a it doesn't matter which.

note the motherboard PCB is also a heatsink, the VRM poer stages are soldered to copper, and the coils/chokes can sink heat.
View attachment 43917if you want to use the board in a Desktop case install proper cooling.
take care of other components like BMC chip etc, all need at least a little airflow to stay alive.
correct, but you need a little airflow in any CASE, for small parts and 10G NIC.Since I am using it in a desktop case, will it be better to stick with a X11 DPI with a higher revision no. like 2.01a and install the VRM heatsink for CPU1?
yes, it is listed on page 1Good Day @RolloZ170 does supermicro X11DPH-T can be modified?
do I need to downgrade bios firmware?yes, it is listed on page 1
no, maybe you have to update to newer BIOS, e.g. if you want to use a 2nd gen scalable(cascade lake)do I need to downgrade bios firmware?
only the X11DPi-N(T) changed VRM vendor over time.How do I check the VRM chip installed for say rev 1.10a vs rev 1.02 of that board? are there VRM chips that are improved and less likely to be problematic?
