HP Recommended
Product: Z620

I have a Z620 and when I bought this it had a dual CPU E5-2630v2. I have upgraded these to dual E5-2660v2 but on doing so keep getting the following messages on boot:

932 - Warning one of the QPI links is not operating

 

In addition to this message I also occasionally get the following message:

 

929 - Fatal MCA error. QPI0 error detected CPU0

 

When I complete the boot the Workstation seems to be working fine, even though the performance increase isnt as much as I had hoped for from the upgrade (only really evident by stress testing but wondering if its something to do with these errors). However it is a real annoyance. I have had a look around and as far as I can tell it is something to do with the number of QPI links but as far as I can see the number on a E5-2630v2 is the same as on a E5-2630v2 so cant understand why it is happening. I have upgraded to the latest BIOS but this doesnt fix the issue. If I remove the 2nd CPU I dont get any error messages at all. I have also tried swapping CPU's and a different E5-2660v2 and still get the same error.

 

This therefore leads to the following questions:

 

Are there any fixes for this?

 

If there arent what v2 CPU's can I upgrade to so that I wont see this error?
