With bifurcation support you can get this thing to be a BEAST of a NAS with just the two x16 slots. You could do 4x4x4x4x and 4x4x4x4x with adapters to bring you 16TB of NVMe storage (because 2TB drives are pretty cheap).

Does the name of it have some kind of implied meaning

Is there any kind of box available to put all of this?, thanks for your video.

I use the e5 2680 v4 for gaming like fortnight it is paired with a gtx 960 so far it runs great

‏‪28:38‬‏ Can you please link me to buy this blue clip, because black is bad

send it back get your money back

It'd be good to see this maxed out as a game server. When I done a x99 nas for work, I chucked a 10gig NIC in it, a old gpu & a sas raid card and broke it out to sata. I dont have it any more but Id like to see how they go as a game server

For us poor people from 3rd world countries, we actually buy these chinese X99, they are a huge deal for us because they are cheap, I myself have a 2680 v4.

Yea got same card from zsus x99-p4 everything powers on tho but no video what ever i tried, machinist card on its way. Nice presentation and keep up the good work.

Zsus board had no CMOS battery... They do not come with one because of China Customs... And you need one to Power on... No battery it will not give any live signal!

Your videos have become some of my favorites! Keep up the great work!

Kinda pricey CPUs imo. I stopped purchasing stuff from China since the war started.

Very Good! 👋👋👋👋

Playing KZbin videos with H4+ with a bit rate of 20-30MBps via the browser works relatively well, but the playback of native e.g. DJI videos (mp4 h.264, h.265, 50-100Mbps, 25fps directly from the onboard NVME 980 SSD + Crucial 48GB 5600 @ 4800MHz) unfortunately hacks enormously. An h.265 UHD video with 25fps and ~30Mbps with 2481 frames dropped 148 frames. 15Mbps dropped 32 frames, but I'm glad to have one H4+.

As for Windows drivers - that part was just half-assed to be honest. Even if there is no package on Topton page (can't verify as I don't know the MB model) you can easily find the drivers by yourself. Ubuntu is just better at this than Windows :) Intel 226-V isn't recognized by default even in name brands, because Windows does not have the drivers for it in the installation media. Also Windows just sucks ass with auto installing drivers, especially for AMD. I would also not agree with statement, that if there is no manufacturers (of the board) drivers, then there is no drivers. Even name brands just give you the compilation of chip manufacturer's drivers on their pages, so you don't have to visit 5 different sites to download them. But it really isn't hard to find drivers for this board. Topton uses drivers made by chip manufacturers: - Intel 226-V - the is an official driver on Intel's page with support for Win10-11 and servers - AMD chipset - go to AMD page and download chipset drivers for X670 - this will install all the USB, bridges, power control profiles etc. (AMD uses the same chipset driver package for all chipsets, so you can pick whatever) - audio - probably some Realtek audio chip, not a problem to find a driver - GPU - download the latest Adrenaline drivers for mobile GPUs from AMD I don't know the rest because I don't have the board myself, but I would just use HWinfo for identifying based on VEN and DEV strings (or just Windows Device Manager). That's it - fully functional driver package, all official and signed by their respective chip's manufacturer so you can have a nice Windows installation on bare metal if you want.

Remove the jumper at the bottom of the board. I also had one who did nothing until I removed the jumper.

Some motherboards can't start if the bios battery was not installed. Check to see if da zsus problem shouldn't be that

"V1" and V2 Xeons (so-called X79 platform), unfortunately, lack AVX2 support, which raises some compatibility issues. However, it might work just fine for a headless system without modern software, say, for DVR or simple file-server. More fun features like ZFS with compression might work noticeably slower than on X99, just because X79 does not support AVX2.

So using the USBC port on the back you get a faster bandwidth than you would if you used a GPU with a riser table on the PCIe 16x slot which is actually only 8x speed??

I always take the CPU and RAM and put them into Ebay. Then subtract that from the price. Decide if you want to pay them for the CPU and RAM they are including. If the processor is going for $4 and the RAM for $5, then figure they got it for 1/10th that to offer it with a $50 motherboard for free. Also please do a video if you know why the USB 3 will not boot with a HDD plugged in. I did see a workaround, but my Dual X99 seems to suffer from this.

Absolutely very good video again. Can you explain why you need to remove the ME subsystem in the BIOS?

My difficulty is I just won a B660 D4 for $28 and made an offer on a 12400f (which was countered), but got that for $85. You are going to have to work very hard to convince me any of the China special boards can beat that, choose any metric you like. Full disclosure, I have a $60 Dual X99 with a $7 Xeon 16 core, and a $20 Xeon 16 core (2698v3 I believe) and the turbo unlock BIOS, in CPUz benchmarks it is right between the 3950x and 5950x. 32GB LRDIMMs for $20 is compelling if you need lots of RAM I will say.

I’ve had a few Chinese motherboards and they have all slapped. I did break a few, but I broke them trying to push them too far. Thanks for reviewing

try the one that won't work with just 2 sticks of ram, I find many of them don't like 4 sticks

So the last 2 boards turned out to actually be hugely different. DDR 3 vs 4, single CPU socket vs multi socket; 1 less sata...

BIOS battery ia in on tnat not working they came without one

Perfect main boards only we need coreboot for them :)) Perfect video by the way i`m your big fan! I did manage to compile coreboot and disable ME for Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2! Just i not trust much this proprietary UEFI that comes from china :)

maybe you need to put cmos battery for it to boot

hello there is a new variant of the c612 nas motherboard with 6 ram slot and mire pcie slot can you check that

Thanks for taking the time (and expense) to test these super bargain basement motherboard/cpu combo's. Plus 2 out of 3 ain't bad, especially getting one with ECC ram support and ram to match.

I have just ordered a Jingsha B85 M+K motherboard combo with an i7 4790 and 16 gigabytes of RAM. 93.96 Also found a GTX 1080 for $100. I can't wait for them to arrive.

I bought one of those cheap MBs. It was my wife's daily driver for 3 months and then stopped powering on.

You shouldn't keep the anti static pad in contact with the motherboard. At least that's what I've been told.

There are mb's that do not power on whithout a bios battery.

yahoo~ Like!you uploaded good . be well-

sad to see zsus didnt work but great finds :)

I used their Model A And it was a really awesome board.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the actual chipset? Chinese motherboards are famous for using a wide range of desktop chips for these X-99 boards.

theres a D in the middle of the name......its not a silent D.......its pronounced like ra dax ah

I got two of these. Wish they had hdmi out. Haha

You seem to be aware of Unraid by keep saying "it's just unraid" and other details but then have no clue about the licence fee / time. I have a Synology as my main device and got this Lincplus as a lower powered hot device and it's perfect for that.

Has anyone had any luck installing the complete driver set in Windows 11? Edit: SDI did the trick, highly recommended.

I se he boots into a Ubuntu and run some tools. Was this some sort of live to off of USB? Anyone know what he’s doing here and the tools he’s using?

Man. It can be powerful chip, basically a rocket in a pocket. But without software and firmware support and updates it's nothing. Imo raspi still leads in that matter

I dastardly watched to see nothing happen when you pressed the power button but I missed that you must have put the motherboard battery in. Good video.

good thing they didn't enhance the stability with the extended feet, I bet that would've cost $50 per foot more

For $190 you can have X10X99-D16 with 16 slots, more SATA, SAS/SFF ports, plus more connectivity (M.2 slots etc.).

I had the same Probleme but got Linux to work. Its not easy but it works... u need to mount the ssd manual with a live usb

Thanks for this. Interesting board and very complete look.

the n97 has a newer GPU the i3 is last gen GPU so CPU havey tasks its the i3 if you have the GPU tasks its the N97
