I wish people would have stopped hating on these products just like they hated Nickelback back in the day, they hear something, they hear others hating, they just regurgitate and repeat the hate without really knowing anything about it. 1) I don't "get sent free Chinese stuff" I buy most of my stuff, this board, I paid and and bought it myself 2) Support? What support? Like you can get support for any $100 dual CPU motherboard in the world, you suddenly expect support from this one? 3) I already spent minutes on this video and almost every single video I make, explaining, that YOU ARE PAYING LESS FOR NOT GETTING SUPPORT. What's so hard to understand? 4) I already spent multiple videos showing how you can dump firmware and reverse engineer BIOS or easily just remove Intel ME etc. and tried to address all generic comments regarding Chinese motherboards, I don't know what people are complaining about. 5) "then it breaks"? really? Then it just breaks? Like suddenly it breaks in half or something? and then other similar motherboard somehow are "built different" and don't break? Just these "Chinese stuff" break? Really? Also, not everyone have $300-$400 to spend on a Dual CPU motherboard. Some people want a board that's powerful and just works. You just can't make everyone happy it seems....

@@TechnicallyUnsure LOL! Ignore the haters, haters gonna hate, dumb people will be dumb. Keep up the good work

pinned of shame, get some iq "RealLordy"

@@TechnicallyUnsure I get it and I understand. These are good motherboards for tinkerers who dont care to replace it when it breaks (as with most of this stuff it is hit and miss and yes I do recognize that this brand is a bit more reliable than all other stuff you get from over there) But: the only environment I would trust it to run in is a sandboxed lab environment. There are other aspects to consider than just verifying if the motherboard works. And for your info: I am not a hater. I have been working in IT and Telecom for 25 years, so I know what I am talking about when it comes to Chinese components... There is a reason why industry is kicking a lot of Chinese stuff out of their environment. And the reason is mostly not related to reliability, you know... Anyway, feel free to use. If it works, it works. But I prefer spending like 100 dollars more on a motherboard from a known brand which complies to all required regulations. On average you use a motherboard for about 5 or 6 years, so that is an additional 20 dollars on a yearly basis for a motherboard you are sure which will not break, you get safe driver updates on a regular base, that you can RMA when it breaks in warranty period etc... etc... It is just a choice, you know

@@tvojejbabkydedko Hmmm, you would be surprised with regards to that IQ, really THanks for pinning and to give me a platform this way 😅😅

2.5Gbps as iperf3 shows, I thought I saw gigabit on the aliexpress page

Intel 225 so 2.5Gbit

Corsair SF750 Overkill for this setup maybe, but that's the PSU I use in my videos.

Damn, only 3 gigabytes per second. How can anyone live with this?

You are correct, I had those NVMe SSDs and didn't have any Gen3 SSDs, so I still used it, it's still fast and can be used as a cache device in a NAS setup. Also yes, this motherboard can be used as a TrueNAS server or Proxmox with a TrueNAS as guest. Lots of uses for a $100 motherboard, and you are correct, you can use a lower spec, lower power consuming, lower TDP LGA2011-3 CPU

@@TechnicallyUnsure Do not worry about it, those consumer drives are usually crap, they slow down when they hold old data for long, and as it comes to writes they are only fast in SLC cache, go above that and they tend to take a massive hit. Honestly, even considering price, an used industrial U.2 SSD is the way to go if you want quality and sustained performance instead of a paper dragon. Heh, it would even fit this motherboard.

I did, still chrome loaded and after a couple of seconds, crashed and disappeared

​@@TechnicallyUnsuredang! Time to do a wee chromium compile from source :)

Yes, correct

Android is open source. See projects like Cyanogen that have been building android releases for hundreds of different devices. Though the Play Store is not open source so you might have to install the apk manually. But they should all work, as they are java byte code. "And there are also open source alternatives to the Play Store.

pinetab-v is actually way cheaper

You can use 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, you don't have to use all available slots

Unfortunately, no

The SpacemiT K1 has a VPU that can decode 4K VP9 and h265. I tested this by playing a local video file with mpv with Bianbu 2 on my Banana Pi F3. But I'm not sure if it exposed through something like VA-API. And the slow loading of the YT page, is probably because we don't have a proper GPU driver. Highly likely that all OpenGL stuff is currently done by the CPU.

Yep, hopefully more projects will support RISC-V soon.

In this video, I'm using Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B5600C36, but I'm sure other similar DDR5 RAMs would work as well, didn't encounter any stability issues.

Crucial Pro Ddr5 6000mhz Cl36 works without changes to bios but linux reports (sudo dmidecode --type 17) it's only configured at 5200 MT/s.

also solidigm should introduce anytime now the 122,88TB version of their u.2 form factor pcie 4x4 ssd p5336, imagine two of those in a tiny box of a size of 3 stacked dvd boxes in mirror....all my hoarded data ...of linux distros...and shitton of spare space still left, not affected by vibrations and just put it in a backpack with a laptop/tablet and good to go....

As far as I know, it's 2 channels per CPU.

Has two m.2 slots on the motherboard, so seem's they did indeed think of that.

Yeah, something isn't right. Those drives should have easily saturated 10Gbe read and write.

No BIOS modification was necessary to install Windows or Linux
