I'm not aware of any. I really don't recall changing anything in the BIOS other than ensuring it was up to date, and that virtualization was enabled. This board economically fit my needs: dual m.2 (mirrored Proxmox host), 4 u.2 (a pair of 58gb Intel Optane m.2 in a u.2 adapter for mirrored TrueNAS Scale SLOG; and a pair of 240gb Intel P905 Optane u.2 for mirrored TrueNAS Scale special metadata vDev); plenty of PCIe expansion for 10gbe, HBA & a pair of GPUs). I assume you've thoroughly gone thru the manual (it is available for download from Tyan)?

They might not be on the QVL but the very first post has the SKU ID for 16GB RDIMMs that work with this motherboard And have been working since that time without incident
I'm able to access the IP on browser and BIOS settings but cannot view any bios via VGA (using adapter to hdmi) and cannot get it to boot to any linux kernel. This shot is as far as I can get. The memory is new and tested working on another machine. Any advice is appreciated.

is the adapter active or passive? IIRC, you need an active VGA to HDMI adapter (so it needs external power) to get an HDMI signal from the VGA output
As for the board
- is the board inside a chassis ? if so, try starting it outside
- what CPU are you using? how do you know it isn't vendor locked?
- are you using a discrete video card as well?
- what are your BIOS settings for video?
- you have not shown the full pic, what is the last POST code that the board stops on?
you need to be systematic about troubleshooting and provide as many details as possible
EDIT: HDMI sources provide power, HDMI sinks cannot. A monitor/TV is a sink. When using a VGA (in) to HDMI (out) converter, a power source is required.
The VGA output from the Tyan can actually go higher than 640x480 and it is good to have better adapters - the one I have from StarTech displays everything all through out the boot process (VGA to HDMI Adapter w/ USB Power & Audio - Video Converters | | StarTech.com)
The other reasons for blank output are
- CSM turned off
- Discrete GPU in PCIe slot
- Legacy OPROM turned off
The very first boot can take much longer, if legacy oprom is turned off the display is blank for a good 10 minutes but the boot process is continuing

Thanks for the reply, I thought I just might be doing something really dumb. The VGA adapter is powered. The board is on an antistatic bag, I tried with and without a video card (1070) but didn't see anything. Re seated everything twice and CPU to 14LBF-IN. There is no POST code, when I check the post log it is simply empty. I bought the CPU as an ES from ebay so it maybe just that. After checking all logs there is nothing that jumps out to me (alert.log-----------------------<1> 2000-01-04T04:53:11.957341-08:00 AMIA04 - Pastebin.com). It does recognize the CPU and the model ( AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000897-03), it just doesn't seem to work.
FYI and it's probably not your root issue, but antistatic bags work by conducting static charge away from sensitive components. On some bags the outside is conductive, so it's not what you want to put a powered board on. Cardboard is fine.
I recently got a server with 2 nodes of S8036GM2NE
The PSU fans, being a 2x 1U machine, are pretty loud - they are spinning at 20400RPM.
The PSU I have:
YSEF1300EM-2402P10
IT supports PMBus 1.2, and i can see fan speed in both "ipmitool sensor" and on the TYAN management webui, but nothing to modify.
I tried to find some specs sheet for the ipmitool, or snippet, but didn't lead to anywhere.
I have a spare 1U PSU that I know can spin down to less RPM that I may use in its place, but prefer to keep it as is if i can tune it down a notch without getting something like Noctua.
Anyone has a clue if it's even possible? If not, is there a PSU suggestion you can make with more quiet fans?

Have you found a way of resetting the BMC password? I got a S8036m2ge and I'm having the same issue after first-time login. And making things worse, the 7C13 CPU seems not to be working and I am only seeing BMC logo at boot time

I did add the users on bios, I think. It was a bit confusing there because I thought It did add the password, but it didn't I set something relatively short, but had symbols, numbers, and letters in it.
how did you flash the BMC .ima file? seems it's a compressed format, did you extract it first and how?. I have a similar issue (BMC LED always solid color after power cable connected, after power on, it takes longer time than usual to show BIOS screen in the VGA port, the OS can boot),
