if the BIOS uses a 25Q128 chip (16mb V1 Rome only)
use the 25q256 (32mb ) you have now spare from the BMC.
V2 BIOS is 32mb dual BIOS Rome(16mb)+Milan(16mb)
S8036GM2NE-LE with 7642 Cpu very basic bios and BMC options

im gonna try a few more things, ill upload the hyve bios if someone has the knowledge to mod just to add the fan setting.
the link to the bios and bmc file is here Download ima.rar | LimeWire , i hope its allowed

the BIOS has no control over the FAN controller, which are under BMC administration.
but in systems with BMC, the BIOS can send FAN control options to the BMC.
I have limited knowledge but i will try to activate fan options, i can see they exist in amibcp, is it possible to modify bmc file just like bios file?
no, there is a linux/minix running. but you could inject a SDR to tell the BMC custom FANs are there.
AMI BIOS comes with all options, even the ones that doesn't apply, the author has to hide remove them.
would it be possible to run the server with bmc completely disabled? i saw somewhere people were getting error 78 on their server with bmc on and no error when disabled. trying all possible scenarios right now
Unfortunately no, any tyan bmc hangs, the bmc on this thing is a openbmc version above 2.0 you can try to build one if there is newer but thats out of my league
Ok i know i am late to the party but i have two of these servers and it is possible to change fan curve from BMC make a copy of /usr/share/swampd/config.json and then you can start changing the fan curve. In the Zones section in the config.json file you can set the target temprature on the cpu_core and m2_temps
you can also set the minimum and maximu for that zone
In the sensors section you can change the min and max pwm values, if you reduce the pwm value for a fan it will reduce the curve over all for that fan
once you are done you can restart the service(sudo systemctl restart phosphor-pid-control) to pickup the new config

I got credentials from the person who sold it.
But you should be able to set username and password through ipmitool from shell.
Something like the following as per AI
sudo ipmitool lan set 1 auth ADMIN MD5
sudo ipmitool lan set 1 auth USER MD5
But you can try if admin and Passw0rd1! works for you
You can set your BMC ip address from bios but remember that it also needs gateway address as well as mac address to work.
Hope this helps!

You can ssh into the bmc as well to change the fan curve as i explained earlier
