Not sure what is shipping on the new ones. Supermicro is up to ver 2.1 for X13SAE and X13SAE-F.

Supermicro’s website doesn’t have any note about requiring a 12th gen chip. @James, did you have to use a 12th gen chip to flash the board?

Been running flat out since December. 100% CPU, 100% GPU, with PL1 set at 225W. CPU is typically at 88 to 90C and PCH temp hovers around 60C. I do continuous distributed computing using both BOINC and folding@home as background tasks. Not a single issue. I think that constitutes a valid stress test for this board at that power level.

It is better with these processors to simply lower PL1 to meet your desired limit and let the CPU do the magic.

Is it possible to reduce vcore a bit, i.e. undervolting, with this board?

UEFI BOOT ONLY.

So, when you happen to move old SSD/M.2 over to it and the BIOS shows the devices as detected, but won’t let you set them as a boot device its because the BIOS only supports UEFI boot, period. No legacy boot support, even as an option in the BIOS.
