Welp, my problem just solved itself - my R5E died today. I'm kind of thinking that it seems like the best bet is to wait (since everything runs perfectly fine) to see what's going on with the next round of HEDT chips with Sapphire Rapids 10 nm. The 11th gen i9 processors look more interesting, performance-wise, but it has no HEDT option - so I'm guessing that means a migration from the Rampage line to Maximus or something. Intel performance growth seems to have stagnated for the last few years and I'm not seeing a significant enough performance upgrade (~ 15% single core) from my current chip to the i9 to justify the cost. but I'm just not seeing the compelling use-case for it. I currently have a i7-6900k and it's perfectly good.įor fun, I've been toying with an upgrade to a Rampage VI and a i9-10900x. I'm really hoping MS opens Win 11 up to other processors later. You literally just plug it into the slot and it showed up in the bios as shown, and Windows accepted it, zero configuration required, didn't even have to enable it.ĮDIT3: To be clear, even though the TPM 2.0 module works with the motherboard, the PC Health Check app still says my computer is NOT compatible with Windows 11 because the processor isn't supported. I'm running the original Rampage V Extreme. Screenshots in this post below of BIOS and TPM.msc menu: (Windows-1. Should be here within a few days, I got the faster shipping.ĮDIT2: So the TPM 2.0 module actually worked (model number above). Specifically I got the "SuperMicro AOM-TPM-9665V-C" (V for vertical orientation and C for client, as opposed to server). From my understanding, TPM 2.0 is not backwards compatible with TPM 1.2.ĮDIT: I decided to just take one for the team and buy one just to see. On the other hand I've seen reviews on Amazon for TPM 2.0 chips where people specifically mention using them on X99 motherboards, so maybe it's down to the motherboard itself. Supermicro makes a 20-pin TPM 2.0 module: īut from my searching it looks like the R5E only supports TPM/FW3.19 which is 1.2, not TPM-L R2.0 which is TPM 2.0? Is it true X99 and therefore the Rampage V extreme doesn't support this at all? So apparently Windows 11 will require a TPM 2.0 module.
