Which is better for a GPU workstation?

The Tyan. It has five PCIe Gen4 x16 slots, while the GIGABYTE listing gives no PCIe slot count. Plan for the Tyan's ATX size and its higher price.

Which holds more memory?

The Tyan on paper. It lists 512 GB with RDIMM and up to 2 TB per Tyan, while the GIGABYTE listing caps at 128 GB. The GIGABYTE has twice the DIMM slots, so check its real limit before buying.

Is the Tyan worth the extra money?

Only if you need Gen4 x16 slots, many drives or dual LAN. At $551.57 versus $184.21, the GIGABYTE is the budget pick for a basic EPYC build.

Which supports newer EPYC chips?

The Tyan names EPYC 7002 and 7003, including 3D V-Cache parts. The GIGABYTE lists SP3 up to 64 cores but no generation, so confirm your CPU against its support list.

Do both have remote management?

Both use an Aspeed AST2500 with integrated video. The Tyan lists a VGA port and BMC graphics; confirm IPMI support on the GIGABYTE before relying on it.

Which fits a standard case?

The Tyan is ATX. The GIGABYTE is Extended ATX, so it needs a larger case and may not fit a standard mid-tower.

GIGABYTE MZ32-AR0 Server Motherboard vs Tyan Tomcat SX S8030 Motherboard

These are both single-socket AMD EPYC server boards, but they target different builds. The GIGABYTE MZ32-AR0-00 is the cheaper entry at $184.21 at Beach Audio as of November 7, 2026, and its 16 DIMM slots suit memory-heavy work. The Tyan Tomcat SX S8030 costs far more at $551.57 as of November 3, 2026, but brings PCIe Gen4 x16 slots, more SATA ports and 2 M.2 mounts. Buy the GIGABYTE for cheap capacity; buy the Tyan for expansion and storage.
