I have tested a Nvidia GPU and LSI HBA with a Goltrends PCI-E 3.0 riser cable from Amazon, both work fine. Currently running the LSI 24/7 in my lab.

Overall I have had two nodes running in an open air config since the first batch were shipped from the listing in first post of this thread, swapped coolers to Artic 4u rev 2 and replaced the stock fans with 2 x 120mm on the front using the rubber mounts and one strapped at the back to cool the rear NVMe and 25gbe NIC.

CPU sits idle around 27-30c and 40-50c with full load. Overall temps are fine.

Great little boxes for the price. If you dive deep into the BIOS there is options for CPU power management and TDP limiting although I have not tested this it might be useful for those who are running the stock 1u config.

Got them running in a “Lack Rack” setup to keep things cheap, could not justify spending more on a rack than a single node. Might swap the PSU to desktop units soon, this is my “Production” lab setup so it won’t move or change for a few years.

Will print one of the mounting units for the U.2 NVMe’s that was kindly posted above, for now they are held with the metal wires that clamped the SFF cables.

Please let us know if the riser indeed is the correct one. I tried contacting the seller about shipping to The Netherlands, but haven't heard a thing..

They are a bit slow to reply but they already shipped mine ... Edit 1: I do NOT believe they ship Abroad, there was a Note in the Description.

Too bad they didn't seem to want to negotiate. To be honest though, given the lack of Availability, I didn't want to "risk it" so I just bought 10 Pieces (8 for my Servers, 2 Spares). You never know about the STH Effect :p .

If you only want 2 Pieces I might be able to sell you mine. Otherwise if you hurry, you could maybe place an Order (or you pay me & I place the Order), then it would cost a little bit from the US (not too much since I have Jetcarrier "Standby" Activated), then it's one Hop from Denmark to Netherlands (around 20 EUR < 1 kg with GLS).

If somebody else in Germany etc does something similar it's probably going to be a bit cheaper for you.

Jetcarrier for a Single Package in Air Shipping can hurt even for small ones. But if you have 3-4 small Packages it's definitively worth it ;).

Yea running fine for a while now in one of the x24 slots, I would assume any standard PCI-e 3.0 or 4.0 adapter will work fine. There is a newer 5.0 cable which is slightly longer in length that I might test if I grab a RTX 5000 series GPU.

Ran a GPU for just over a month but I hardly transcode in Jellyfin so I removed that and replaced it with a LSI 9300-16i for my ZFS array which has been running fine for the last few weeks

There is enough space on top of the PSU to sit medium sized card or make place for a pci mount. Fractal r5 disk cage slots perfectly on top of the PSU with zero play or movement.

Also 8 channels is the minimum I recommend on this system after having one running 4 x 2933Y and one running 8 x 2666v memory.

Asked about 8 or 16 and they would do 25/ea, not amazing but lower than 30 i suppose.

I'll pass. I'm not even 100% sure I'll need the Rails and the Riser, but it's good to have them, when they are at reasonable Prices.

At least I could install a 2x40gbe or 2x100gbe NIC should I want to later on :).

The LEFT Riser should be sufficient for only one PCIe Adapter. Of course having the Right would be nice too, but soon I'll spend more in Risers than the Server ....


Did you also order the LEFT one I got for 15 USD / Each (plus shipping via Jetcarrier & VAT of course) ?

Hi, im looking for some memory speeds and sizes rdimm or lrdimm that definitely work on this specific motherboard, whatever you guys tested that boots with this mbo and cpu, thanks in advance

Did anyone find a way to simply reboot these machines from OS? Mine goes to blank screen, fans 100% and just sits untill I do a power cycle.

I opened the thread about this server, flashing tyan firmware causes error 0022 which by the looks of it means cpu is bound to cloudflare/hyve bios or bmc firmware, the cpu is effectively locked to the chassis, changing only bmc firmware causes no boot, changing only bios same thing, theyre loud, the standard setting for fans was 15% then when loaded 100% then 15% i found no way to regulate it ipmi doesnt work with the known fan commands, maybe there are different ipmi commands that work with openbmc, havent tried compiling openbmc for tyan to see if that would work

Were you able to recover or did you permanently brick it ?

Whenever i see a host getting stuck there on reboot i log on BMC and do the "reboot BMC" then both BMC and host come back up.
So guessing its BMC glitching that prevents it from booting back up.

Got 3-4 different firmware versions across the ones i got, its not all of them that this happends with but have not looked further at what version those that do tend to get stuck run.
If its just some versions doing it or not.

I did notice that they did not like lrdimm tho.
And with my luck 14tb out of 16tb in the 2 bladecenters i gutted was lrdimm...

EDIT 3: @Cruzader isn't it maybe an Issue with EPYC not liking SK Hynix RAM ? I remember reading something about it before at least ...
Click to expand...
Might be, it was all from blades bought at the same time with same model/revision but i dont remember what brand it was.

Took 4-5 attempts to get a boot and would freeze after sitting just 5-10minutes with proxmox booted.
Consistently across the 4 i had on the workbench prepping then.

DIT 1: Complain about your "Luck". With the current RAM Prices you can still make a HUGE Profit out of those. I think I have less than 8tb of DDR4 :rolleyes: .
Click to expand...
Amusingly the 2 bladecenters are just jammed stuck in the racks in one of our DCs, the replacement hardware above both were left with all its weight down on them.

Otherwise they would have been thrown away with the 16tb in them a long time ago.

We did not need the space and nobody wanted to start shifting the weight above so they were just left there unplugged full of blades.
I pulled the blades and the chassises are still sitting there, probably will be intil we replace racks.

Why I'm not surprised you are the one that grabs them all :p ?

In all seriousness I had placed 2 or 3 Times already an offer for 10 x 10 USD / Piece for the Rails but it always expired automatically.

Then I offered 8 x 10 USD / Piece and it got accepted within a minute or two.

Extremely weird :D

For what it's worth.. on my boxes proxmox was stable. Which makes sense since it's simply debian 13 + ubuntu kernel.

Did anyone ever find a solution to the "automatically power on after power loss"-thing? Almost everything is OK with these machines, except this. And the OpenBMC virtual console resolution :(

might be using wrong ram reason why no display output problems is we only have two sticks available at the moment what is the best ram for this motherboard

kinda annoying motherboard not telling us anything

Running to work not much Time ....



Quick & Dirty Workaround:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

dhclient -v
(by default any Error will cause the Script to exit, so if you don't e.g. have zfs installed or if mount -a gives an Error, then the subsequent Lines are NOT executed by default)

Then:
  • Connect Cables (at least one to each "Type" of NIC, plus management of course)
  • Boot Server
  • Look in your DHCP Server Lease Tab for recent Leases (it should show the Hostname e.g. LiveUbuntu1 or whatever you configured)

Let's hope that USB Boot Works out of the Box:).

Alternative is that USB Boot does NOT work and you need a small SATA Drive instead, but you can follow the same Procedure, enable dhclient -v in /etc/rc.local and boot that instead :) . If having Issues, make sure you setup the Drive for both CSM / BIOS Boot as well as UEFI Boot.

This is maybe not what you want to hear, but I don't have other Ideas, other than installing a separate GPU in the PCIe Slot which as it is, it's going to be pretty difficult (especially without Riser) ...

Alternative is to setup PXE / TFTP Boot on your DHCP Server, IMHO every Server and VM tries to do Network Boot by default, if it didn't find another working Boot Device. But that's another Topic for another Day ...

Probably memory config. we've seen the same thing. Something it's as simple as trying a few times (take server off power in between tries). Then, when you get to BIOS, disable memory overclocking.
With overclocking enabled we've seen what you're seeing, but also random missing memory channels. Our 2400 MT DIMM's were shown as 3200 in BIOS, with a few channels missing.
All issues were resolved by disabling memory overclocking.
Click to expand...
How did you achieve the first Boot to get to disable Memory Overclocking if trying a few Times doesn't work ?

Clear CMOS ? Installing a single DIMM ? Trying different DIMM Brands / Frequencies ?

@ribroc, @Cruzader: any Idea about the Rails ?
Click to expand...
Ive glanced at them and thats it sofar.

Today i got around to opening almost all my unopened packages that has been piling up, among them i noticed i have 8 more of these servers that i forgot about.

I have been playing with the idea of transfering some of the mobos into my inter-tech 4f28 cases and with one of these 9305-24i on the mezzanine slot.
Put on a 4U cooler and 2 other nics in a short x8 ribbon riser from each riser slot (since ive seen multiple in this thread and elsewhere just use standard x16 ribbons or angled risers).

Is there a huge Performance Penalty in using these with "only" 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM ?

I was looking mainly into 2666 MHz DDR4 to get the best Performance out of them but Prices and Availability can be tricky ...

There are often some strange breakpoints on the global shipping, like 20-30 increases upto a 100-120 jump and back to 20-30 increases as you add units.
I often split orders in 3/3/3 or 4/4/4 to reduce the unit price significantly compared to all as one.

it looks like they have not gone light on the weight like last time, that its single unit packing rather than 2 per box.
