resolved by doing ipmicfg -fd and then just shutting down the server by hitting the power button, unplugged, and then holding the power button for 30 seconds(discharges any power on the board) when i rebooted everything was normal again. just hope i don't have to do that often since i plan to use this server as my primary SAN device..
popping the battery is different than a nvram reset though.
Popping the battery leaves you in unknown states. A reset sets all of them to known states.
They should both in theory end up at the same place but one is technically better than the other.

Sensors just went offline again and the IPMI prevented me from logging in as ADMIN/ADMIN...any advice? Neo said to check the CMOS battery, I was going to use HWMonitor to do that but the sensors aren't working in that either. Guess I'll just have to go get a battery or volt meter. As a side note, the computer isn't booting as far as I can tell as the redirection viewer is just showing a black screen and I can't RDP into the server(which means it likely isn't coming up)

While the referenced file is no longer available, you might find inspiration on what to talk to Supermicro about in this thread: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/solved-supermicro-x8dte-f-ipmi-sensor-issues.4989/
So I was in contact with SM support via email, one of the techs recommend that I uninstall HWMonitor as it reads sensor information at the same time as the BMC which can cause collisions as he put it. So I uninstalled it, reset the BMC, hard power cycled, rebooted, and so far everything seems to still be working.
