hi i hope everyone is well, i have got the 7773X part is it compatible with Supermicro motherboard? it works with the 7663 part Milan X with dual socket but wondering if it also works with the 7773X part

[flotus1]

They are compatible, but you need a somewhat recent bios version.

https://www.supermicro.com/en/produc...oard/H12DSi-N6
Dual AMD EPYC™ 7003/7002 Series Processors
(The latest AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series Processor with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology requires BIOS version 2.3 or newer)

Hi Flotus

many blessings putting the 7773x worked but now all frequencies are set to only 2.20 GHz max

[07:16:09] abelardojara@abelardojara-Super-Server [~] $ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 1.50 GHz - 3.53 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.20 GHz, 1.90 GHz, 1.50 GHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil
current policy: frequency should be within 1.50 GHz and 3.53 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 1.49 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: no

is there a solution please how get the frequency to max 3.53 please?

[flotus1]

Don't trust the output of cpupower.
Use turbostat instead, it gives you the actual frequency each core is currently running at. Of course, you need to apply a single-core load in order to see the maximum turbo frequency.
If this still yields results that are too low, you can investigate further.

first and foremost thank you, thank you and thank you

this was the output of the tail of turbostat, still no core passes the 2.2 GHz

[flotus1]

And what exactly did you use to simulate a load?
From the output you posted, my best guess is that you stressed pretty much all cores. You can't expect to see the highest single-core boost frequency under an all-core load.

[abelardojara]

Hi flotus I hope you are well

I run boringssl speed and gets high cpu on most cores, however still frequency is capped at 2.2 ghz

cpupower freq-info shows 3.5 ghz as maximum hardware can do but however available frequencies only show 1.5, 1.9 and 2.2 so a lot of frequencies are missing

do you know what i could do? i dont see anything in bios to change acpi for processor

[flotus1]

Just so we are on the same page here, this is what cpupower frequency-info shows on my machine:

cpupower frequency-info 
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
  hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 2.00 GHz
  available frequency steps:  2.00 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.20 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: ondemand performance schedutil
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.00 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
  current CPU frequency: 1.20 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: no

And yet it still runs single-core turbo at 3.0 GHz, and all-core at 2.55GHz.

If you absolutely can not get a single core (read: all other cores idle) to run above base frequency, then the first guess is that turbo boost is disabled in bios.
The setting is called "core performance boost" in the "CPU configuration" menu and needs to be set to auto. I assume you already have the latest bios version installed?
