which are you refering to ?
ASUS W790-Ace and SAGE SE can be downgraded by USB FlashBack
How exactly did you get all gpu's running at x16? In my bios only lanes 1/2/3 are running at 16x and for the other i can only select x8 or x4x4. Did you also face this?
The manual shows “configuration 1” nets slots 1,2,3 and ,5 at 16x. Slot 4 is disabled in this setup.
Configuration 2 is as you describe, 1,2,3 at 16x, slots 4 and 5 at 8x.
Page “xi”.
this also matches the block diagram in appendix A1.
So in the bios, you probably have to set slot 4 to disabled or 0X bandwidth.
Good news everyone, more xeon workstation chips are released for this platform. They are called as spr refresh. I wonder if they are similar to emerald rapids

IT distributor lists Intel's refreshed Xeon CPUs — Xeon W3500 Sapphire Rapids Refresh chips power new Lenovo workstations
Six new Intel Xeon W3500 chips are now available for order (on request).

no massively increased L3 cache on the XCC die skus either.... because they are essentially just a more "refined" SPR.
Well there is still hope for Emerald Rapids. Is there good demand for SPR Workstations?
All reviews again show that AMD ones have much better power efficiency. At this moment, I don't know if it is because Intel 7 (ie 10nm) worse than TSMC 4nm or is it because AMD chips are designed to be power efficient.
I still like Intel platforms as they have superior single core performance; power efficiency is less important for me.

COMPUTEX 2024 recently ended, I followed the news, but new motherboards on the W790 chipset were not released. Previously, there was an announcement of the ASRock W790 WS of the second revision R2 (you can add this to the 1st message of the topic), but the functionality was even simplified ((. I have such a question on the eve of the release of the spr refresh, maybe known something about new models of motherboards? In order to use a board taking into account processor overclocking. There are only 3 suitable models are available, one each from Asus and Asrock for the 2400/2500 series, and the only board from Asus (Sage) for the 3400/3500 series. The choice is not great, I would like something like Asus Dominus Extreme for LGA3677. Now I’m writing this post with EVGA SR-3 and W-3175X and I would like something similar for LGA4677.

the SPR-WS refresh uses same stepping/cpuid/microcode. new boards are not required.
supermicro X13SWA-TF

afaik only if new chipsets are out.
engineering and design costs nothing?
apart from asus/asrock there's also the supermicro w790 boards ( X13SWA-TF | Motherboards | Products | Supermicro X13SRA-TF | Motherboards | Products | Supermicro ) - we purchased one of their workstations based around it start of the year for a project that had some budget constraints so we couldn't go for our 'usual' tr-pro option and have been pretty happy with it ( SYS-531A-I | Mid-Tower | SuperWorkstation | Products | Supermicro )
I have the x13SWA with an 3435x, works really well with some extra VRM cooling. Otherwise it’ll throttle when overclocking. Only 6 phases but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Hello, i just tried to overclock my Intel® Xeon® w3-2423 Processor with Pro WS W790-ACE motherboard. But for some reason on heavy load the cpu maxes out at 2800 MHz and the temp never goes above 40 degrees. It is now running a bench for more already over 15 min and the temps stay this way. Can someone share their overclocking for this CPU so it runs arround 4000 MHz? I btw already tried a lot of settings (changing Volts etc), the VCore always locks out at 0.85 max even though i say it higher or low in the BIOS.

cpuinfo might be wrong if cpufreq is enabled. To guess correctly try estimating via tsc

Tell me, the 3V battery in ASUS W790 SAGE SE board is not in the usual place, under the radiator of the backplate panel and not in a special cradle. The question is, if the battery dies, will the board work? Some boards of this class do not even start if the battery dies. I wonder if it is worth making a homemade bracket and taking the battery somewhere closer so that there is quick access to it.

pull em out and try.
or buy a new one from a good store(not discounter) and you have 10 years good.
edit: if you don't unplug AC or switch the PSU off.
