Hi All,
Anyone have any experience of 3647 Motherboards, notably the Gigabyte C621-SD8? I’ve currently got one running a single Gold 6132 just fine. I was looking at swapping out to a pair of Gold 6254s- officially these are not on the supported list - everything up to a 6252/6240R in Cascade Lake is supported, but notably not the 6254.
From looking at the list, it seems it’s basically a limit on nothing more than 165W?
Is there Firmware usually to stop these or is this a “we don’t recommend it” kinda thing? Or is there actual OEM integration to stop CPUs like that from working to prevent lighting up the traces?
Skylake/Cascade Lake is now looking pretty slow, but it would be nice if a simple swap would get some more cores and a nice boost in frequency.
Cheers!
