I’m really starting to wonder if there is something inherently wrong with the W680 chipset.
- it was late to market
- availability is still incredibly bad across all or most regions
- DDR5 speeds do not even support the official JEDEC speed in a 1DPC configuration
- as far as I can tell not a single W680 board vendor has released BIOS versions for 13th gen, despite those coming to Z690/B660 boards a long long time ago

Solution for Post #37
Since I’ve changed the kernel from stock proxmox to 6.0.5-edge my server got no more cpu soft or hard lockups.
I use the kernel from this repo: htt*s://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel. I think this is a vanilla linux kernel. As far as I know the only kernel that works fine with virtualization so far.

Regarding other W680 boards, I emailed Supermicro a few days ago about the X13SAE-F BIOS update for 13th gen and they said it’s currently in testing with an ETA of mid-November for the release. Hopefully the MW34-SP0 and other W680 boards aren’t too far behind.

Datapoint:
I bought a Super Micro X13SAE-F board, and 2x32GB DDR5 ECC UDIMMs (Kingston Technology 32GB 4800MT/S DDR5 ECC CL40 DIMM2RX8 Hynix M - P/N: KSM48E40BD8KM-32HM).
CPU (12600k) is known to be good. Worked before and after being installed in the X13SAE board. System will not post with the ECC RAM installed. Tried each DIMM in each slot, individually. I’ve opened a ticket with Super Micro, and am awaiting their response. The only ECC RAM on their QVL is for a DDR4 product, which is obviously wrong. Latest BIOS is installed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the product doesn’t actually support DDR5 ECC UDIMMs.

Would most definitely like to improve my Home/Home lab with the Son of the Forbidden Router. Would be onboard for a group buying the Motherboard if and or when it came up.

What kernel module is needed to get fan speed with lm-sensors?
I see the temperature but no fan speed.

Is it available via IPMI? The BMC may be controlling it.

Yes in the BMC I can see fan speed of cpu and system fans. So I hope there is be a way to get the fan speed in linux

On my SM board (admittedly a much different board) it would just be FAN2, not SYS_FAN2, so maybe try that? ipmitool sensor list should tell you all the proper identifiers.

Is someone already planning the group buy? I dont want to crash into anything, but I could give one of my trusted vendors a mail and see if I can get a few of them.
I saw that wendell was tagged, so I dont want to crash into anything that might be already in the making.

Haven’t seen or heard any groupbuy/kickstarter/etc. as of yet been checking the forums and video Wendell mentioned about a possible group buy. I have also contacted gigabyte USA for pricing/procurement and nobody picks up the phone or returns a voicemail or reply’s to an email.
They are keeping the motherboard behind some esoteric secret passphrase.

I’d also be very interested in a group buy if/when something materializes.

It seems that the fan doesn’t want to accept the settings. Maybe it gets blocked by hardware?

FYI, I just called my Distributor, he said theres only 3 legitimate sources of these boards within europe, one of these is his own warehouse, and all 3 are out of stock. We started a request at Gigabyte directly, but he said, dont get your hopes up, because its most likely not in stock and maybe not in production due to 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs and the probability of a second revision of this board.

I’m thinking about pairing this board with a 13600K, so that’s good to know! Thanks for the info.
