@RedX1 I also picked up 2 8259CLs from him on ebay, and also using MD71-HB0, but I'm having some issues -- see post: https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...md71-hb0-datto-siris-4-bios.43158/post-427234 -- do you mind sharing versions / files of BIOS/BMC of your working setup?

Hello

Just like you, I found my motherboard arrived with zeros for nic ip addresses, I too used the same method to restore them.

I updated the BMC to the latest Gigabyte firmware, not the old Vertiv 1.98. by USB. I then update the Bios to R20 using the BMC.

This caused the MB to again wipe the IP addresses of the nics.

I have not updated it since.

I am using Windows 11 with no problems.

I hope this helps.


Good luck.

Thanks so much! Was quite concerned there would be microcode or other issues with newest BMC/BIOS, but seems it's not the case. Will try the latest.

Do you think this also applies to the MD71-HB1? It's CPU QVL looks VERY different than the MD71-HB0 on Gigabyte's website.

you don't want to run P-8124 today. other suported CPU are cheap. many issue with B1 stepping if not dried out TIM.

Motherboard has been picked up, and CPUs on the way, so I will know soon.

Now I have to figure out memory. You've mentioned in the past that the 8259CL maxes out at DDR4-2666, but this post of an Amazon instance suggests that it was running at DDR4-2933. I would love to get that additional bandwidth, so I guess I will just have to buy one 2933 DIMM and test it.

By the way, apparently there is a way to modify the MD71 BIOS to unlock additional options? I would love to be able to adjust package power down a bit.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

all tools report max. 2666. i guess the report writes the RAM specs not the current speed, or the 8259CL RAM can be overclocked.
you will see.
