Because of the video problem I used a gtx 980. Did work without problems

There are not that many EPYC mainboards out there. Indeed the rams slots are one big selling point. After my first pretty annoying experience with my first serverboard I decided to return it to the seller without any repair guarantee. At that point I bought a new serverboard which was still the same because no other board was comparable at that time. So I guess this answer the question.

I guess you are using the 2.0 version of the serverboard because your 4th gen epyc. Well as far as I know by know this serverboard has an video out flaw. I returned my serverboard because of this problem and also bought a new one. After running of a year this board also got the same problem. No video what so ever. I ended up running my server with external video adapter. This does not work with the video console of the bmc. So I guess you are stuck just like me. Like I said i returned my first one and got it replaced.. i did not even bother installing it because I guess this one will fail eventually.hahha.. besided the video out problem this serverboard is awesome

@@ipasthemaster thanks I'm trying to install a RTX6000 to slot 1 but can;t even get through the basic IO stuffs of donkeys years ago. Makes me wonder GIgabyte bothers with the AST controller at all if its flawed. Is there any way to test the assembled jig is working? BMC although I do not have much experience in BMC - my first server setup......

@@jonmaster2143 The BMC always works even without a videocard. Just figure out what ip it gets from the dhcp server. In my case it always gives the message that there is no videocard installed or whatever. The bcm monitor always gives ne the ‘no signal’ sign. Upgrading bcm of bios does not have any effect on this problem. This is possible without video using the upgrade option within the bmc. But this is always tricky..

@@jonmaster2143 thinking about my original problem… the one this youtube video was all about.. this was before the video was completely broken. I had no video out because the monitor seems incompatible or whatever: try booting the server without the vga cable connected.. after POST try connecting the video cable and look for picture

@@ipasthemaster managed to get into MZ33-AR0 BMC from my workstation :)!!! But having some difficult setting the BIOS VIDEO to external. Each time I save changes within GSM (Gigabyte Server Management), then reboot. It will not change to external.....not sure how to change it from then.

Have the exact SAME problem, can anyone help us out? :D

Hi, as far as I know you cannot upgrade a revision of the board. This is the revision of the hardware. If rev3.0 is the minimum requirement for this type of cpu, I guess you are in a tight spot. I think you could contact Gigabyte support, but they are not fast with their response.

You can try to flash Milan part of bios,it should work.First revisions bios chip have space only for one bios firmware,while 2nd and 3d got for both(7001 and 7002 for 2nd ,7002 and 7003 for 3rd).Why i think its possible. I gave my motherboard to Gigabyte for repair,and they returned it with wrong version of bios(for 1st revision,i have second).And i successfully flashed it back for the second.

I dont have this equipment anymore, but do have.a bunch of repaired motors like these. I am willing to sell them

@@ipasthemaster is this still the case? Regards from a half dutch half Norwegian in need of new motors 😄

​@@ipasthemasterAre motors still available?

​Just out of curiosity which board do you have the bad motor on?​and whats the milage it went bad? @@jreyna1224

The problem was the monitor. After replacing the boot time is still the same. A boot time of 1 minute and 30 seconds sounds normal to me. I think the boards is doing some diagnostics before showing the POST BIOS.

Yes, it turns out the problem was a incompatibility between the serverboard and the monitor. I replaced the monitor with a different type, waht solved the problem.

@@ipasthemaster Thanks for the answer. Did this also solve the "No Video" problem in the remote console? Because afaik this should work without a connected monitor

luw8000 true. If the monitor is not connected the remote management function works fine. But when the incompatible monitor was connected the remote function gave the ‘no input’ message and also no video device error

@@ipasthemaster Ah ok. On my side the problem still persists, even without a connected monitor. Guess I have to wait for the support then.

luw8000 i guess you have allready upgraded the BCM firmware and BIOS firmware ?! You should at least upgrade. I have read a vga issue somewhere in the older release notes of the BCM

Sorry, making those shafts took me a pretty long time and machining is not really my thing. It was ‘just’ a project. I stopped riding and think about selling everything. I’ve read on reddit that there is someone fixing motors commercially.

I used several types. These where steel rods, not alluminium. Most of them I bought on Aliexpress. Some where chrome-plated and had a very nice finish. Normally the rods where sold as 3d printer parts

@@ipasthemaster Thank you very much

IPAS PROJECTS after your shaft replacement did you find to last longer than BB shafts? Under replacing procedure you have used set on new bearings as we’ll correct? I’m concerned about boosted service now Days and trying to prepare for that common issue. Even was trying find aftermarket motors but no luck i guess probably would be possible if we had some schematics for wiring.

Please do!!!

I’ll buy one and do it myself at home, I don’t have those CNC machines but I have a vice grip

I know a guy who makes these shafts...

Seth Mottahedeh I know the guy who makes the shafts @newyorkdiver

Barney Villalona can you give me his contact info
