After re-reading, its the H8QGL it must be disabled.
I'm getting closer to flashing, everything is checking out good.
I've flashed so many bios it doesn't phase me anymore,
main thing is to have all the correct info before you start and understanding that info.
As seen it was a little tricker on the ankle bitter 4P than normal desktop boards,
so I'd like to be a little more clear on this server board before I start.

Oh my I seen a big red flash! [H] at boot after a successful flash.
 
Flashing is really simple once you know the ins and outs.
 
For those wanting to update the bios for the H8QGi+f /6 motherboards.
First you'll need to format and make your USB drive bootable.
I used Rufus, what you need to know and the download is in the link.
Grab the bios that is correct for your board at [H] forum
You'll also need to grab the zip bios files from SM for your board.
H8QGi/6: http://www.supermicro.com...s/getfile.aspx?ID=1283
H8QGL: http://www.supermicro.com...s/getfile.aspx?ID=1278
  
 
NOTE: IPMI (BMC) must be disabled on H8QGL boards
 
Once these are done and you have a bootable flash drive unzip and move the
SM bios files plus the [H] bios file to the flash drive.
 
Shut down your H8QG, place the flash drive in a USB port, start computer, 
enter bios and change boot order to USB. F10 to save and exit.
It will now boot off the flash drive if you have done everything correct to this point.
Once booted to the flash drive and to the C:\  see example
To flash, use:
  flash.bat <filename>
   example: flash.bat G60NG4.A11
 
Do not power off or interrupt until the flash has completed.
You'll know by what it tells you by what's on the screen that it is done.
Power off at this point wait a min. or so, then power on the unit and enter bios,
load bios' optimal defaults with (F9 key) (very important)
Save and exit (F10 key) wait to see post screen power off, wait power on.
You can now re-enter bios if there are some changes you'd like to make such as boot order.
Your done with this part. Now onward to OCing.

I'm flashing my H8QGi-F with G60NG4.A11 BIOS image the as I type this... and it's done! Time to reboot...  CMOS Checksum failed, entering setup, load optimal defaults, save and reboot...  [H] logo came up and it booted right into Ubuntu. Need to shut it down and bang away on the Delete key as it boots. Set my options in the BIOS and now it is time to play. 

Not sure if you did a reboot or a power off here, but I did a power off right after the
bios flash was complete, waited a min. or so then power on so I never saw a
CMOS Checksum failed with the power off method, entered bios loaded optimal defaults,
save wait to see boot screen and power off again. Power on enter bios make changes as needed.
Also on 1st boot after the power down the [H] logo came right up.
Times are looking good.
Edit:
Side note:
I started at 226mhz I'm now up to 246mhz. Jumping 10mhz at a time and testing.
Frequencies to avoid
 
241 is a go. 242 is a no-go.

List of frequencies to avoid (until new version comes out): 209, 232, 242, 262

Yea it could have been there "the CMOS Checksum failed error" but covered by the [H] logo, since I hit Del pretty quick.
I picked up a 8101 after the 8105 uploaded which isn't what I had hope for since I wanted to place the board today on the Tech station. Messed up my plains.

Your TPF is looking good.
 
I have hit a brick wall with my refclock @ 262mhz but then again that's the max that is allowed.
TPF on 8101 is now down from 19:26 @ 256mhz to 18:51 @ 262Mhz after 3 frames.
Now that I know the CPU's can handle it, its the time to start working on memory clocks and timing.

That's basically what I been doing, bump work a WU bump ect.
I'm @ 2.359Ghz so unlees there's a way to get a higher refclock that's it for me.
 
Might as well crank it up you'll be a while getting to the max with those small bumps.
BTW I could only wish to have some TPF like those, very nice!
Edit: now at 18:48

Wow that's great! Just think what that TFP will be if it make it to 250/260 range. maybe some high nines tpf.

Anyone running 16 cores CPU with the H8QGi+F?
 

• Number of Cores: 16-Core
• Socket Type: Socket G34
• Clock Speed: 1.6 GHz Turbo 2.1 GHz(all cores)
  
• Bus Speed: Four 3200 MHz 16-bit HyperTransport links
• L2 Cache: 8 x 2 MB shared exclusive caches
• L3 Cache: 16 MB

Keep in mind that the Interlagos/Bulldozer 82xx 16c chips have two 8 core integer processors, but they share a single FPU and fetch/decode/execute units so they aren't really full blown 16c chips. Clock for clock they aren't as efficient as Magny Cours/Istanbul 61xx chips. They also tend to be a bit more power hungry than MC's. Sometimes IL deals pop up, but IL chips really aren't worth any premium over MC's for folding.
 
The Abu Dhabi/Piledriver 63xx series of chips is sort of an optimized Interlagos. Some bottlenecks were opened up, but the L1 cache deficiency is still the same as Interlagos. Clockspeed capability was improved and 1866 DDR is supported on boards with that capability. Power suckage per op is substantially better, 20% or so, than Interlagos. There are some folders getting good performance from 63xxx chips, but they are still very pricey. 2.8/3.2 ghz 6386 AD chips are selling for $850 and up and 2.5/2.8 6380's can be had for $700 or so. The low end 6366HE chips are still going for $500 and up. No budget folding with these babies for a while.
 
I don't think tear's hacked bios supports any overclocking with IL/AD chips.
 
IMO, unless you get an exceptionally good deal on IL or AD chips, MC is still the way to go for G34 4p's.
 

I'd love to flog some 8386's, but I'm not going to shell out $3400 to do it! I'd rather run two 6172 4p's for less money
 

I've got another contact for us... seems when I purchased some 12 core AMD chips from ITCreations I might have made a friend.  Or someone hungry.  If you are going that route (and I did ask this person if it was okay... LMBO.. (sales people like money) to pass on the offer the answer was a resounding yes.)
 
So shoot me that PM... and I'll pass on this nice persons name and number.  Mind you I got the first one from eBay... next time I'll see just how deep the discounts can go.

Here's what looks like could be a deal for someone looking to build a 4P?
