It still seems that sometimes the BMC does not start (no activity on the Ethernet Port). In this case, also the board / BIOS does not start.
Seems to happen when the hardware configuration changes…
Will report back.

I wonder how many people are having problems, because I feel like we are the beta testers for this motherboard right now. It’s been released for over 3 months and still there are problems with it. I also have a Gigabyte X570 Aero that has been far from trouble free - is this par for the course for Gigabyte? I am also wondering if Wendell had problems with his…
I don’t want to be the guy that bitches and whines… but Gigabyte: Fix your sh…stuff!

So, yep, the BMC/BIOS seems to get stuck after a hardware change. I need to keep the whole thing powered off for a while - some 10…15 minutes. Then it comes back to life…hm…
Other than that, it seems to boot up fine.
Edit:
I’m starting to feel better about the board. This issue with the NICs was really annoying.
Other than that, as long as you don’t change any hardware, things are ok.
I just booted FreeBSD off a USB stick and then rebooted straight back in Linux. No issues.
So, yes, the firmware seems a bit BETA, but once Linux is up and running, I had not problems, so far. I hammered it for a week with a lot of C++ compile sessions and a number of VM and containers incl. quite some PCI passthrough (no GFX - its a server :).
Regarding idle power consumption: This board + i12700 + 128GB ECC is in the same ball park as the old Haswell i4790S + 32GB on an ASUS Gamer Z97 baord. About 36W (primary on 230V) with one active hard disk and 10 NICs (no link execpt for one).

A small request, could someone try to boot FreeBSD 13-STABLE (use the memstick image and select LiveCD) and post dmesg?

I thought I wanted one of these boards but now I’m not sure. Are the issues only present when running 13th gen? For my use case I’m willing to go 12th gen.

No, also with 12th Gen unfortunately.

Haven’t used FreeBSD in a while…let’s see.
It seems to boot ok.

Well shucks. I really want a board that I can use desktop cpu, ECC memory and IPMI. I’m building a new truenas box and really only want to 2-3 jails with 1-2 users at a time. Epyc is overkill and I was hoping desktop to save on the power since I don’t really need cast off enterprise.

Well the board works fine aslong as you use nic’s from QVL list apparently and disable PXE boot in BIOS… I do not experience 10-15 min wait times mtk do.
Running i5 12500 cpu myself and crucial memsticks which is not on the QVL.
crucial memstick’s i run are MTA18ASF4G72AZ-3G2R
Can I ask how long does everyone have to wait for the BMC to come online after connecting the power?
Haven’t timed it.
But maybe 3-5min… Just assuming it’s doing hardware checks.
Also if fans do not spin down and then up and then down, you know you have to toggle power. For me atleast.
For me it was like 1-2 minutes, if it’s not dead again.
That sounds pretty much like what I was looking at. I cant find the board for purchase inside the US though. I’ve almost talked myself into just going epyc again. I have the funds but didn’t want to spend it their. If I could save money going desktop cpu Im game.
Two days ago our RMA / replacement board finally arrived after two weeks.
Just connected power and ethernet, BMC started up fine, got an IP(v4) address. Updating the firmware update in the browser was easy. Installed the i5 13600k as well as 64 gigs of Kingston RAM (same as @mtk). Installed everything else and it was working as expected.
After some hassle with the operating system and finding out the iGPU of 13th gen is not supported (although it’s the same as 12th gen?) switched to a 12600k instead.
By this point I was quite happy, although the fan control is kinda… well it s***s for a workstation. The only available temp sensor is the cpu, so basically no way to control the system fans.
After initial setup was done I moved the system to it’s rack and well… It’s dead again.
I plugged everything in, no changes exept a new USB device at the front. The system started up but I could not screw it into the rack yet, so I pressed the power button and the system went down.
Some minutes later I unplugged the system and put it on top of the rack. Plugged everything back in, it tried to start up (BIOS set to start after power failure) but now it’s dead again. The BMC LED is blinking in 5 second intervals just like with the old board.
It really looks like plugging the power too early after power down (maybe under 15 minutes?) will kill the BMC.
Can I ask what company you bought or got the RMA from?
What OS doesn’t support the 13th Gen iGPU?
This was my experience and I am hoping they finally fix this (assuming it can be fixed with an update). I am still waiting for my RMA to arrive, Mindfactory.de says it should be in stock on th 24th, so hopefully I get it before next weekend…
Can you remember what exactly you did when clearing the cmos when it worked?
I unplugged the system over night and tried booting this morning without success.
Unplugged it again, waited some time and set the cmos jumper. Set it back after about 15 minutes later and plugged the system back in. Still the same. I’m really curious what the dealer will tell me this time, after we had to wait two weeks for the replacement last time.
The dealer is Jacob.
We decided to go with Truenas Scale since it seemed to tick most of the boxes. But as it turns out there’s some details, especially hardware support.
At this point I’d go with about any other recent board, but unfortunately ddr 4 ecc support seems to be very limited and we have no other use for the sticks.
I would reconnect the power, the mobo would switch on and I would see the BMC ready LED flash on and off (5 seconds each) and the orange light on the MAN port wasn’t on and I would just move the CMOS reset jumper to the reset position - it would instantly power off and when the jumper is removed from the reset position it would power on and then it would work.
Truenas Scale is what I wanted to use
