Hi,

so i have this "old" motherboard that i have been trying to revive. It is a MS 7543 ver 1.0, some old dell motherboard as far as I can tell. It has an i7-980x in it and some RAM. 

The motherboard has no video outputs so i have been using my RX480 in it. When booting fans speed up and lights go on but I never get an output. After a bit of research my best guess is that I need a GPU that supprts Legacy BIOS, but im not sure.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas as to which GPU's I could try to get my hands on?

What else could it be?

And how could I use this CPU, would it be good to use as a little home server? I have been wanting to try and build a home server for a while now.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
