X9DRi-LN4F+ cpu support help

[kaitlin4599]

so i have a X9DRi-LN4F+ but i cant find any info on which specific V2 cpus are supported i have the 1.2 revision of the board

 

[Pete.S.]

Supermicro says E5-2600 v2 family (up to 135W TDP) with BIOS 3.0 or higher. I assume all standard CPUs work (but not perhaps OEM special SKUs).

Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X9DRi-LN4F+

What did you have in mind?

 

[kaitlin4599]

well i would like to toss in a 10 core cpu pair as i heard mixed results about getting 12 core cpus to work

 

[Pete.S.]

I think the mixed results would be had when trying to use OEM CPUs, not the standard Intel retail CPUs.
So 12 core E5-2695 V2 and E5-2697 V2 should work fine.

For 10 cores E5-2680 V2 is usually very good value.

Here is what Supermicro says about OEM CPUs on another X9 motherboard:

how do i tell if a pu is oem or not cuz the 12 core cpus i have dont work but the 10cores i borrowed from a friend do in fact work?

 

[BackupProphet]

I have never had any issues using Intel 2696 V2 on X9SRH, X9DRI, X9DRD

CPUs that you could buy over the counter would be the ones that Supermicro motherboards must support because anybody could have bought them and put them in a server.

Looking here List of Intel Xeon processors (Ivy Bridge-based) - Wikipedia
there are only two 12 core retail CPUs in the E5-2600 V2 Xeons.

• Xeon E5-2695 v2 SR1BA
• Xeon E5-2697 v2 SR19H

Does it say SR1BA or SR19H on the CPUs you have?

the bios was updated before i got the motherboard so i can only assume the latest bios has a microcode change that doesnt support 12 core cpus
