Lesson learnt: don't ever buy an used server from Quanta

Also, isn't Epyc have an efuse that will pair it with the mobo?

Some Epyc SKUs are firmware locked to specific motherboard vendors - eg if you look on eBay, you'll see plenty of listings for "Dell locked" CPUs. Afaik they aren't locked to specific motherboards, just to a specific vendor, and there are plenty of unlocked SKUs as well
