VRM modify ICC_MAX to run high TDC OEM cpu

[8259cl-man]

if 2x 205W supported yes.

the I2C header is not a must have. on some mobo you have to solder.

mobo P/N K2TT6

Struggling to find i2c pads/pins. No luck looking through documentation. Can you point me in the right direction please?

i2c pin is NOT a must have,
locate the 2x PXE1610C

There's one pxe1610c on the board, marked with a green dot. There are various other chips from the same manufacturer (one is close to the VRMs)

you can run only one CPU, or there is another one. anyway you have to find a solder point, there are smd resitsors often close to the chip.

Getting ready to do my mod for my DL360 Gen10, still waiting for the CPUs (2x 8259CL).
Wanted to ask, does this look like it'll work? I believe these are the correct pins... I hope

looks correct but you need more practice thought.

Thank you for the info and for the nice forum post.
Ain't this the best practice board

i meant to better use some pcb from e waste for first soldering.

Hey actually quick question; Can I do the programming with supported CPUs or does it need to be done with the unsupported ones.. Sorry if it's obvious, but can't hurt to ask

on some board you don't need CPU installed.
other need CPU installed and powered on, if the board turns off because unsupported CPU you need supported CPU to program.
edit: with normal CPU you are on the safe side.

 

[jamieboy]

Ah great, so I can program it already with my supported ones!
Nice then I will just need to replace the new CPUs when they arrive and enjoy

Hello. I have such. Any info?

 

[RolloZ170]

Hello. I have such. Any info?

info is the PXE1610C is not detected. bad connection, not powered (no CPU?) wrong address (motherboard is ?)

Machine is DL360 Gen10
Board is powered on and has two supported CPU.
I have connected as your image to my Adafruit MCP2221A GND SDA & SCL pins

Little confused as it nowhere say J266 pin, but I believe I put correct place.. Or is issue I did not use the cable that come from programmer instead I put to the pins on the programmer?

just do a scan, if nothing found you have connection failure.

J266 is at/from DL380, i never had a DL360.

scan seem to work? command pxe1610c 62 64 doesn't?

pxe1610c 62 64 does not work because your board do not use PXE1610C controller.
use this instead:
"__xxx.exe -TPS53678 62 64"

Haha, yes I just noticed that... Mod success!

Next week I get new cpus to try =)
