Z11PA-U12/10G-2S max base clock

[Tinkerer]

When looking at the supported processor list it doesn't seem there is much choice for > 3 Ghz with more than 12 cores. I was hoping to score something on ebay with 16 or 20 cores at 3 Ghz or higher base clock.

Does anyone know if that actually works on these motherboards?

I haven't tried it but there is some overclocking menu in there as well. Any chance to get a 2.6 Ghz and overclock it to 3 or 3.2 Ghz?

check for allcore turbo, base clock is not very important and draws power if high with no loads on the cores.
or do yu have to disable the turbo for some reason ?

 

[Tinkerer]

No, no need to disable base clock.

Good tip. Is that what explains why some high core high base clock have lower Watts specified on the Asus list than others?

I was looking at higher base clock to get higher DDR speeds.

xeon Gold 6132 14C base s.6Ghz does 3.3Ghz if load on all cores(nonAVX)

I just found this thats on the list of compatible CPU's

SR37K Intel Xeon Gold 6150 Processor (24.75M Cache, 2.70 GHz) | eBay

turbo, you can't disable base.

gold 6150

gold 6150 18 cores @3,4Ghz

 

[Tinkerer]

turbo, you can't disable base.

Thats what I meant, I got 100 tabs open and just typed without reading

yes, depends on the AVX(512) frequencies and all core. lower TDP = lower max clocks.

 

[Tinkerer]

gold 6150 18 cores @3,4Ghz

So 2,7 base and 3.8 on all cores right?

 

[RolloZ170]

 

[Tinkerer]

woah nice!

So basically that 6150 is the best I can get? Higher base clock than what I have now (2400) for a bit faster RAM speeds, and max boost on all 18 cores.

 

[RolloZ170]

RAM is max. 2666 on 1st gen.
some 2nd gens do 2933. check intel ark for that

 

[Tinkerer]

Ordered that 6150, its on the list from Asus so it should work without issues.

Finally upgrading the Xeon Silver 10C

Thanks for the help!

 

[RolloZ170]

6208U and 6226R can do 16 cores at 3,6Ghz, both TDP 150W
6240R 24 cores 3,2Ghz

 

[RolloZ170]

Ordered that 6150, its on the list from Asus so it should work without issues.

ok, good price.

 

[Tinkerer]

Those are 4 to 10 times more expensive. 117 euro's is almost for free.

Its a massive upgrade from the 4210R I have now.

Came in today, installed right away. Works like a charm.

Deploying 6 node kubernetes cluster via Ansible to vSphere took 5 minutes 40 seconds, takes 3 minutes 43 seconds now.

Happy with that but I did not expect that .

Haven't done any real benchmarking but storage feels quite a bit faster too.

do you have a similar table for cascade lake (sp gen 2)? tried searching but google didn't turn anything up

 

[heromode]

LOL at that table, it's typical par excellence. I did ask @RolloZ170 what's wrong with him the other week, but only got a cryptic reply
