Picked up a socket 2011-3 OEM Broadwell-EP Xeon, that does not want to work with my Asus X99-M WS updated to the latest 2017 year BIOS. Also the OEM CPU did not want to work with the two previous BIOS versions, which officially supported 14 nm processors. The OEM CPU only "works" in BIOS, but once i try to boot something up, i get LED post message "19" - which does not tell me anything, since there is no "19" translation in my Asus PDF manual. Just in order to launch the PC i have to CLEAR CMOS every time... In the BIOS the CPU is not recognized and just reveals itself as 0000 CPU, but i do see the 10 cores recognized at least.
I have another Xeon E5 2620 V4 which works fine and boots Windows 10 through PCI-E NVME SSD.
Figured out this won't go anywhere and i need another MB for my OEM CPU.
Won't pick Asus again - they are too picky for these parts. Not too keen to go with Gigabyte - always memory problems, but i might give a try if you KNOW something that i do not and you recommend it.
I am leaning towards Asrock X99 Taichi (cheapest) or MSI X99 Tomahawk or Evga X99 FTW K (most expensive)... There are other options too.
I expect somebody here had experience with socket 2011-3 OEM Xeons and can tell me how things are?
