Great write up!
I just got the MB but with a Bios: v. 3101
And I cant find a way to set the (1-2) AI Tweaker > Efficiency Core Ratio: By Core Usage and for all E-Core apply 36
Anymore instead I have this, and its not possible to input 36

IMPORTANT: I just installed the GIGABYTE - AORUS Gen4 AIC Adaptor, PCIe 4.0 GC-4XM2G4 in the 8x bifurcation slot and it dosent work on this MB, no matter what I do, even setting it to 16x and removing all card it only sees 1 Nvme 😞
IF ANYONE HERE have a Nvme expansion card that works on this Motherboard then please write me! 🙂


 

 

did you get the nvme expander card to work?

No it only works with 1 Nvme and my goal was to have 2 (8x slot) I think its because the card would need to bifurc. to 4x/4x on the slot? and not the 8x/8X in this MB.

I am now looking into installing a dual U.2 PCIe card. (Much longer run life time and IO performance is great) and keeping my NVMe on the board (3 of them)

And prices is going down on some U.2 drives (8TB).

Also looking into using the slimsas on the MB for a U.2 drive

Have anyone revised the recommended settings with the new Bios above? (Efficient Cores)

  1. Since this thread is about the IPMI - Have anyone gotten the e-mail notification working on the IPMI? if yes what email provider?
  2. Booting up with GUI on Unraid only get terminal prompt with user/password login? (Only have VGA terminal monitor attached)
  3. Following the guide to control the i9 power draw not sure I am getting the best result. Bios: v. 3101 havent found the right settings for E-cores?

 

BTW Using the IPMI for adjusting Fan speed:

I am really happy with the FAN control on the IPMI with the right cables (High amp fans) and the extra power connector its pretty great!

UPDATE: Bios to 3101, it seem that the settings for the iGPU might have changed?

HELP !!!!
I have now tried all below 3 Bios versions:

BIOS 3101 - (No IGPU and memory settings, see manuel above)

BIOS 2802 - micro code for 14th gen (No IGPU and memory settings)

BIOS 2703 - (No IGPU and memory settings)

 

No matter what Bios I use I cant get the iGPU to show up in Unraid?

And I cant get the HDMI output working, no matter what I do it outputs to the IPMI VGA?
And its like the iGPU is disabled?

 

Could someone please share what setting they have and that are working?

I have tried everything... only HDMI attached to the monitor

All 3 options to boot by: Auto, PEG Slot, PCIe no matter what I cant get any output

 

And that result in Unraid not seeing any iGPU?

Solved: Bios setting CSM disabled!

What did you ever do for your i9 settings?  I have one and want to power it down a hair for energy without losing too much processing power.

I followed the guide for the i7 (I believe) and the only difference is that the efficient cores are all auto.
Doing the Passmark I can see that I pretty much have 50% of the score with these settings, witch is fine (Its a beast!).
