If u can wait a day or two (i might have a massive coolermaster v8), but id have to get it out of storage . I just need to make sure the AMD hardware for mounting is there
 
Okay, this is a mess!!!!

Kept getting a ACPI Error Code with the dual processor Supermicro X9DAi system. Did some research and it is common with these and other Supermicro boards with the early bios'

So, checked on the newer bios files and found the latest bios for that board...........All great............Made a bootable USB flash drive, copied the bios, plugged it in and all went great! Success................Right up until I shut the system down, unplugged the power, reset the bios............Which were the instructions according to Supermicro

Turned the system on and it just does an infinite boot cycle. Turns on and runs for about 10 to 15 seconds, then shuts down, and repeats until I shut the power supply off.

Well, after finding this same issue with other users, I find out that the new bios DOES NOT support the damn ES Xeon chips!!!!!!

Nowhere in the bios listing does it state this issue! One of the users had to contact frigging Supermicro to find this information out!

So here is the part where I hopefully can get some help from a fellow member:

Short of buying or building a bios flash unit I need a socket 2011 version 1 NON-ES chip.

Does anyone have one that they could send? There is an older bios file that stops the ACPI error and allows the use of ES processors.

I will gladly pay shipping both ways and if necessary will pay extra for the use.

Thanks in advance
 
@stinger608 will that board support a 3930k? You're welcome to use the chip to do what you need to do.

I Don't believe it will support non-Xeon chips but I'll take a look bro!

After looking, it would appear that it only supports Xeon processors @Norton
 
I can pull one from my setup that's listed in my FS thread. Unless you want the whole thing? :D

Okay, after the amazing help from our own @XZero450 and being soooooooooo kind as to send me a non ES processor, this amazing system is back up and running full steam crunching!

I want to give a very special thanks to @XZero450 for being an amazing member and helping out in a hell of a pinch!!! :respect: :respect: :respect: :respect: :respect:

Trying to get my X99 setup up and running but ran into some snags- anyone have a stick of DDR4 I could use to troubleshoot my setup?

I may be able to loan you a stick, just need it back when you're done as I'm hanging onto it for a future build. What kind of time frame are you looking at?

I should read these threads more often :oops:
The cheap Chinese X79 (socket 2011) Motherboards will boot right up with ES XEON processors and seem very stable, although there is no overclocking functions in the BIOS as it is very basic.
But if you want to run a multi socket board you are out of luck as they only support the one CPU.
 
Just saw this thread so subscribing for future reference!! :)

Glad to hear your all sorted out now @stinger608 :) Getting that pie is proving to be rather difficult at the moment !! :laugh: :)

I may have something sourced, but I'll drop you a PM tonight if it falls through :toast:
 
OK guys I may have to offload some minor items. More older items than anything. think it will end up being stuff from early am3 days. Maybe a hard drive or 2
 
Holy hell! It's @JrRacinFan ! :eek: How the hell are you man? Long time no see/talk.

Wish I could help, but I do not have any spare DDR4 sticks currently:(
Hope you get it worked out!
 
Ok so the RAM wasn't the issue. Here's what I need now (brace yourselves), can someone either lend me a 5820K or similar CPU (or ES equivalent) OR lend me a X99 board? I can pay shipping both ways, put up a deposit, etc and I'm a long time member that I'm sure plenty people here would vouch for me. Let me know, thank you!

Wouldn't hesitate if I had the parts!!!!!

I'd vouch for theonedub in a heartbeat. :respect:
