ok, lets find NVUDIMMs and try. it is AMI BIOS, those settings are always included in the "kit" but normaly hidden if not supported.
Mine is running a 5700x, and currently in a compact tower case, but will be soon migrated to a 2U chassis. I'm using the Thermalright AXP90-X53 full copper. At least in the small tower case, I ran prime95 for a while, and the max CPU temp was 57C. Under normal circumstances, my system is near-idle (5ish percent CPU load), and the CPU temp is around 37C.
I don't know how helpful that is, as the 5800x/5900x are higher TDP. I'm using the stock fan on the heatsink. I haven't tried a different fan, but reading about this heatsink on random forums, it seems a bigger fan might further improve performance.
I'll try to remember to update this thread with details after I move into the 2U chassis.
Part of the problem is, I was unable to figure out exactly how tall of a CPU cooler can fit in a 2U chassis. The Noctua NH-L12S is 70mm tall, and the Ghost Edition is 66mm tall. One of those should fit, and if you have enough airflow from chassis fans, you might be able to get away without a CPU fan. I was afraid to try though.
Other heatsinks that were on my short list:
- Scythe Big Shuriken 3, 69mm tall with slim fan
- ID Cooling IS-55, 57mm tall with slim fan
- Thermalright SI-100, 75mm tall without fan
- Thermalright AXP120-X67, 52mm tall without fan, 67mm tall with slim fan
Of course these are all "consumer" heatsinks, not designed specifically for rackmount enclosures. They just happen to be short enought that they should fit in a 2U chassis. Dynatron makes the A24, which is made specifically for AM4 in 2U enclosures. They also have a passive model, and another fanned model for higher TDP CPUs (pure speculation, but I suspect that is the same heatsink as the A24, just with a higher RPM fan). There are a few options on AliExpress; some of those look like they might be decent, but I didn't want to take the gamble.
Hope that helps! Let us know what you end up with!
Figured as much after some eBay surfing
BTW, I'm hitting a road block updating the BIOS thru IPMI. Weird, but image verification fails. Anybody knows the step by step process? I tried image.RBU to no avail, selected both BMC and BIOS in the dropdown list and tested both with the same result.
You don't. Get a real 2U cooler, meant to be used in 2U cases. Desktop CPU coolers aren't designed for the airflow direction you have in the 2U case. In the words of famed steve-o par Charlie Sheen's habits, don't waste your time, take a rock to your brain. (Buy a dedicated 2U cooler).
This sorted me out. You need A1 populated, along the CPU, apparently, at least in my case (it came with F06).
Sorry for the triple shot, but anybody got the BIOS settings page (BMC) to work? I get a a 'no available pages' error. I need to reset the memory settings as it is not POSTing anymore after manually setting frequency to 3200 (I'm testing with 3600 sticks, UDIMMs, no ECC).
If anyone is running 128GB with their M/B, I would love some advice for what sticks/part #s they chose, if they went dual rank with 4 sticks (apparently if you get 4x1R it might even have a modest performance benefit). Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this is what I have been basing my eBay hunting on.

The reset jumper is next to the battery

That worked a treat!

Seller responded with this photo, not sure these are the same sticks. (See edit)This uses the same micron chips as the kingston one

Nope. They are RDIMMs. Found the datasheets. Beware! The photos they use in listings have nothing to do with the actual sticks they have in stock.

Hello
This is my first post so hello all
I would like to buy my homelab (mainly NAS + some docker apps) and use the Gigabyte MC12-LE0 motherboard, I just got it, but I would like to clarify one think. I would like to use an M2 SSD to as a boot drive and SATA HDD as a storage, is this board support M2 NVMe or just SATA? I read almost whole thread but I am confused that it will run NVMe out of the box or do I need to use M.2 SATA or buy separate controller?

M.2 is nvme but PCIe 3.0 x1
Manual page 7, print out and lay over night under your pillow.
Is that mean I need to buy PCIe 3.0 x1 NVME drive (I cannot find one) or can I buy let's say Patriot 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe P300 and it will work but not at full speed?
Sorry for that question but the think is I am disable person and I am unable to build this myself so I have to buy all parts in advance and send them to some computer technician to assemble it so I need to make sure that everything will work. I know that seller upgraded BIOS and BMC for me prior to shipping the motherboard so thats no problem for me.
I bought Ryzen 5 5600 non X version, could anyone tell me if I should buy ECC memory or non ECC - I thought about goodram ones:
W-MEM3200E4D816G
but my service that will assemble it for me told me that when I have non pro ryzen version I cannot use ECC memory - can anyone confirm if using ECC memory with Ryzen 5 5600 and Mc12-le0 will work or do I need to buy non-ECC memory?
