The BIOS provides the ability to override PL1, PL2 and Tau, and I currently have PL2 set at 350W (which is probably above the max the CPU can actually draw), PL 1 at 200W, and Tau at 64 secs.
I wish they’d add a proper 10Gbit NIC already (it seems the board is prepared for it), but at least the x4 slot is open ended and a good fit for an ACQ107 or 113. Some of the main features of the W680 chipset include a PCIe 4.0 x8 DMI link, which connects the processor to the chipset for improved bandwidth over Intel's previous W-series chipsets. Other features include support for up to eight SATA ports and integrated Wi-Fi 6E PHY/2.5 GbE MACs for vendors to hook in the latest networking controllers. Intel includes support for 16x PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU, with the usual 16/0 or 8/8 bifurcation options. Intel W680, Z690, W580, and W480 Chipset Comparison

Early leaks indicated that the new entry-level server/workstation platform will offer up to 16 CPU cores with TDPs of 35 W, 65 W and 125 W. Meanwhile, we have no idea whether Intel intends to enable AVX-512 support on its upcoming Xeon E-3300-series processors, or will keep it disabled, like it does with 12thGeneration Core CPUs. Despite both the Supermicro X13SAE and X13SAE-F featuring the same base specifications, including dual Ethernet, one powered by an Intel I225-V 2.5 GbE and the other by an Intel I1219-LM Gigabit controller pairing, there is one key difference. The Supermicro X13SAE-F includes IPMI functionality which is powered by an ASPeed AST2600 BMC controller and includes a supplementary Realtek RTL8211F management LAN port. Yet since the pro variants based on the same silicon have it, it seems a clear case of exactly the type of fusing/segmentation AMD has been happy to criticize Intel for and a major inconsistency for me.

I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/zmrlnn/old_and_new_workstation/. (The new workstation is now at the 3 monitor table, unlike the picture.) The combination of the W680 and Core series CPUs presents a bit of an interesting situation when it comes to memory support. ECC support is peppered in and out of the Core series, supported seemingly at random on some models and not on others, but only when paired with the W680 chipset. Support for ECC memory can seem very arbitrary. For example, the Core i7-12700 supports ECC memory while the Core i7-12700F does not. As you can see from my pictures, my system is getting the i7-12700F and will not be paired with ECC RAM. Supermicro X13SAE F Memory
