Thanks.

Single or dual socket?

 

[dntoolz]

dual

You will need a C612 chipset motherboard. Asus, Gigabyte, Supermicro all have dual socket motherboards. They are generally large. You will need a case that can support an extended size motherboard.

I have ASUS Z10PE D16 WS

Unfortunately as you can see it doesn't support this CPU. Any Mobo that will support my CPU?

Thanks.

Since that CPU doesn't even show up on Intel's support site ark.intel.com, it must not have been intended for general sale.
If that Asus doesn't support it, I don't know what will.

Its on wiki list:

Thanks.

Notice how much information is missing on that row compared to the others. Especially the cost. That was a CPU that Intel made for some specific market, maybe Amazon or some other large datacenter. If it isn't listed in the ARK, then it wasn't intended for general sale. I don't know if you will find a motherboard that supports it.

What happens with that Asus motherboard ?

Please review.

If both of your CPUs have the same problem when installed in the first CPU socket, then you have an incompatibility. All you can do is contact Supermicro or Gigabyte to see if thay have any motherboards that will support. These are the hazards of buying "cheap" used Xeon CPUs.

I have only one CPU installed. Seller says he is using Supermicro X10DAI and MSI X99 to test his products. Should i go with Supermicro X10DAI?

Thanks.

Before you buy it, I would contact Supermicro support for their position on the 2673 CPU.

Prompt advice. Also do you have any advice to test the system one last time. I did BIOS update:

Do i need to update any specific BIOS version Or maybe change the bios chip? Any suggesion for bios chip like below:

Current Issue:

On board Q-Code 67
CPU DXE Initializing

Thanks.

An unsupported CPU is an unsupported CPU. There is no prediction what will happen. Have you tried the IPMI port (Asus refers to it as BMC in the manual) ?

No i have not what to do with that port? Any advice.

The BMC is a low level controller on the motherbaord that you may be able to connect to via a browser. Check your User manual for all the things associated with the BMC.
