Anyone can suggest a motherboard compatible with those 8259CL Xeons? The TDP might be a problem, as it is reported as 210 W (here, here, and discussion here). I looked for Supermicro, but can't seem to find one with 210 W TDP support. All end on 205 W. I intend to build a 4-node cluster, so these CPUs could come in handy, but the question is the right hardware combination. @Irishdave maybe you have compatible boxes or motherboards, too?
sorry i actually purchased a Asrock board drom ebay for testing the xeons befofe selling

TDP is not the problem except motherboards with up to 165W support like X11SPL,X11SPM.
8259CL works not on many motherboards because of the Thermal Design Current(TDC).
std. SKU TDC=228A (or lower)
8259CL TDC=255A
ASRock EPC621D8A ( and most other ASRock C62x ) must support TDC=255A because Xeon W-3175X(TDC=255A) is on the CPU-QVL.

Hello

Just a positive shout-out for Irishdave.

I ordered 2 8259CL CPU's from him on eBay just before the christmas holiday. They we shipped next day and were delivered in the UK the first post after the holiday.

They arrived well packaged and I installed them in a Gigabyte MD71-HB0 motherboard, the system booted first time.

I now have 48 cores running at around 125W in a CSE 847 with a minimal windows installation.

I am happy with the really good service and will be back for some more CPU's soon.

Just a happy customer.

You are running 125W with two idle Xeon's, likely dual HBAs for the 847, and dual power supplies? That is pretty impressive.

Hello

I just noticed the typo.

Sorry, it is in a a CSE 747 with no disks and no HBA. 2x 920SQ

Just a bare minimum setup to start with, 128gb Ram and a Solidigm Nvme drive.

With 1 Lsi 3008 and 8 3tb sas drives it idles around 170w or so.

I hope this helps.

EPC621D8A, WC621D8A work without VRM mod

Many other boards work with VRM mod (aka modify VRM settings):

Supermicro X11DPG-QT

For more details + excellent guide by @RolloZ170
Without having to go through all 11 pages of the thread, how much of a PITA is it to update the VRMs on a X11-DPG-QT board? How much are you wanting for a pair of the 8259CL CPUs?

Hey, I hope you're doing great.
Do you still have 2 x 8259cl fully operational units?

I'm planning upgrading a GIGABYTE MD71-HB0 with 2 of those cups.

Thanks.

@RedX1 I also picked up 2 8259CLs from him on ebay, and also using MD71-HB0, but I'm having some issues -- see post: https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...md71-hb0-datto-siris-4-bios.43158/post-427234 -- do you mind sharing versions / files of BIOS/BMC of your working setup?
