Waiting on my kingston sponsored 12 x 16gb dimms to arrive and want to get playing now!!

@sochotek nope 2400mhz ecc registered.

Confirmed tonight non-ecc only works with single cpu.

Non-ecc only works with single CPU? Does that sound like some BIOS related setting may be limiting that? If yes, maybe you guys need fully unlocked BIOS, so all possible settings are visible?
If anyone wants this, please send me images of all current BIOS settings in a 7zip archive, make sure this is ALL possible sections, pages and settings so I can see exactly everything that is visible now.
You may be able to F12 screenshot to USB, if you do this and it's BMP images, please batch convert to JPG so it's not a 50MB archive of images. I don't need to see BMP or high res images, 800-1000px wide, less than 500kb per image is more than plenty.

Sorry for my english but i am fascinated from what you are doing and cause you asked for other CPU testing, i registered.

I got 2 Xeon Silver 4114 ES QL2F and flashed the Bios from Lost_N_BIOS ( post 241). In before I had the 66 error as you described it earlier.

Now im still getting error code 61 (maybe b1) in all possible combinations (single cpu, dual, single cpu changed).

I tried with hynix 2rx8 2133p (ECC) ram als well as hp-2666 ram.
Tried booting for several minutes but it stays at 61/ b1.

Do you have an idea, what im doing wrong?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Sorry got a new problem.... board is posting, but going straight to EZFlash and then saying Model name doesnt match

and now the board isnt even switching on.....

so, i can do a flashback... just stuck stock 5503 on the board.

but no power on, lights are on, no one is home.

@adhss_phil - Thanks for your testing! What is the CPUID on those and what is the stepping if you know? If it's 50654, it may need some older one inserted possibly? Can you ask seller which microcode revision he knows works with those CPU?
Could be a ram issue, not sure, the other guys here would have to comment on that. Did you try each of those you mentioned, but with only a single stick? Does the board work fine with non-ES CPU and those memory?
Maybe @avd knows more on this issue (I've never even seen one of these boards)

@TechStream - Sounds like a corrupted BIOS somehow if it lost the model name. Post flashback issue, sounds like corrupted ME FW now possibly. What were you doing that caused this?
Do you have flash programmer to recover with? If not, pinmod to unlock FD and full FPT reflash may be only way to recover. What post code does it stall out on now?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Board currently does absolutely nothing just sits there with its lights on....


Hmmm seam to be unable to get a decent write to the bios with a programmer...

What is read after does not match the file that was meant to be written.

Lost_N_BIOS thanks a lot for your immediate reply. Got them running – but still some issues with dual start and heat.
They are recognized as 50652, microcode ist 37 one (bios picture added). hynix 2rx8 2133p is confirmed working.

It was a an ME Problem cause the mainboard including ME was already flashed with the latest version. So I flashed back the bios including ME block with the original 2017 bios. After that i jumper-blocked ME and flashed your bios (post 241). Singel socket is working with both cpus.
It looks like an older ME Version is a prerequisite?
Fan/ temperature Sensors in this cornfiguration seem to be not responsive. Have to look for a bigger cooler.

Dual configuration works after several boot failures (up to 10). At first i thought it wont work at all.
Boot failures happen whenever main power was plugged of. Q code 03 is often, but not always seen bevore failure-self- resets.

@TechStream - what is your BIOS ID/ID's and what software are you using to write? Some BIOS chips need to use certain software versions, or another ID, or some may need to use ASProgrammer instead, and some require 1.8v adapter if 1.8v chip.
Also, be sure you erase, then blank check, then open BIOS file and then write/verify. Is there two BIOS chips, or one? If two, send me a backup of both your programmer dumped chips, or a full FPT dump if you had one before this, and let me know what size each chip is

@adhss_phil - Thanks for the CPUID on those, I couldn't find anything in google. Ggreat you got it working now too! And good you found the issue and outlined it here for the next guy too, thanks
Check ME FW to see if it's healthy now, if not you may need to fix it still. Check on BIOS main page if it's shown there, if not use HWINFO64, make sure it shows a version and not 0.0.0.0 or N/A

@Lost_N_BIOS

got it powering on again, must use ASProgrammer!!!

had not thought to use that instead of CH341A. did and Erase then wrote and all seams to be ok again thanks for the tip!!

@Lost_N_BIOS

I think the issue is my base dump bios that i took before starting all the playing around has problems.... Loaded up AVDs original dump fine and PC boots fine.

any chance I could send you my backup dump for you to look at?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Heres a link to the file.

Nice to see you guys.
I'm new in here.
C621E SAGE is on the way to me.

How can I check the microcode of the CPU?

Edit : Oh, never mind. I found it at cpu-world.

It works like a charm guys thank you so much! More RGB with stripes to follow later
