Supermicro IPMI / KVM / BMC Remote Console Screen Resizing Issue - Window Cut Off Solution

FBDIMM /PC5300F RAM chips can work properly be with mixed timing/speeds
I've read some people/sources say "the timing must match or it won't work". This is not true at least for the Supermicro boards I've tested this on.
