It was rather nice to see a actual decent board from a chinese manufacturer, even mores o to see a board like this, where they put something on there that it wasnt meant to have... but they made it work. (Mostly) Think theyd stick around to do more work? Or will they dissappear into the ether after a few months?

[@deagt3388]

All it needs is decent cooling.. ;-)

[@calvinmanika6458]

Hey, there are some brazilian youtubers who tested this kit, and they found out how to set the memory xmp correct profiles and all this little things like letting the cpu hold the boost for undefinelied amount of time. But be aware that the mobo heatsink are not the best to that situation. A good youtuber that had made a good amount of testing on this mobo is called Mario Mazotti.

[@CraftComputing]

I'll give him a look. Thanks!

BIOS has A LOT of functions but unfortunately it’s all buried down into several menus. Enabling that OC menu also enables XTU on Windows.

[@AlberichY]

What mounting type is used by that motherboard? I'm thinking in buying one but I don't know which air cooler can I use with it.

These need to come out in the ITX form factor. This would be awesome in a media PC since it won't need a giant cooler.

For a media PC Intel Stock cooler is enough. If it not enough than you have bad computer case tha no enough air vent or/and you need adjust TDP settings and/or undervolt CPU in MOBO BIOS settings menu.

[@HackerL96]

They just released one with an 12700H

[@AdamBGames]

With how it fairs with multithreaded workloads and its low wattage, this honestly would be an excellent choice for server use, mix this with a HBA card in the PCIe slot and an M.2 2.5Gig or 10 gig lan port. 2 NVMe drives for redundant boot devices and a small case. This is excellent value.

[@noburt9]

My only concern with that is the listing on aliexpress does mention that some people have troubles with virtualization. Hopefully we will get some more videos on this motherboard and cpu though.

[@Unirule]

This thing could also take a fully passive cooler and fit in one of those newer boxy matx cases like the Sama IM01.

[@AdamBGames]

I do hope we get a follow up with using this as a server and the possible power draw we could see from a setup like that.

I purchased the non-ES i7-11800H board that they sell a few days ago, this video has me very excited given that this performance is from the ES version. I originally bought the board for use as a home server, but now I might give it a shot to see how it stacks against my i5-12400 when paired with a 3080. It’s very exciting to see these neat things at these price points.

[@jackwyz22]

it would be interesting to see after unlimited turbo unlock and XMP if it would bottleneck a 3080. Keep us updated!

I haven't touched the BIOS and out of the box it's running consistently at 4.1ghz and 78-80 watts in benchmarking. I'm using the Erying CPU cooler and it hasn't gotten above 75C and I've been running this thing full-throttle for a solid half hour. I will continue to test this over the next few weeks. I was planning on using it in an off-site unRAID server/NAS, but if it remains stable, I'm going to feel bad about "wasting" a powerful CPU for such a basic application.

[@MrLordbeavis]

I was just thinking along the same lines like proxmox, unRAID or xpenology

[@loopback2]

Same here! Wondering long term stability

[@Prophes0r]

1U is such a bad option for anything but the densest racks. It is loud, more expensive (since you have to shoehorn parts into it), hotter, and has less expansion options. There is REALLY no need for 1U stuff in a soho/home rack. 2U, on the other hand, will fit 80mm fans, and can be made cool/quiet on a budget.

[@FynnR]

Sadly that chip still needs active cooling, that means noise tiny fan... Maybe it can be downclocked and turbo disabled and it would still have a great use case + passiv / indirectly cooled by the 1U case fans.

[@davidstephens189]

I just clicked the link for this CPU/MB kit. You said it was $160. It is shown as $325.

[@GK_Squid]

Dawid does tech did a review of this as well and couldn't find a way to boost ram speeds. He did however find that it performed better if you removed the heat sink they put on there and used a different cooler. But, finding one to fit it properly is a different task. He ended up just placing an air cooler on and didn't fasten it

[@lejoshmont2093]

I saw dawid took a look at their i7 variant and I was like what about the i9k. Thanks for taking a look at the i9 variant.

[@sbohdan69]

[@TheWebstaff]

Supply and demand.

[@IngenuoOficial]

This board comes with gearmode 2 as default. You can get much higher performance with the right settings. Also worth saying is that Erying post sales is very bad.

[@jedcheng5551]

I hoped the 12th gen version of this thing would be amazing But it seems that there is something wrong and the CPU can't reach the boost clock. The company said they couldn't find a solution for it

[@mikeymaiku]

i heard the same about 11th gen.... and here we are with 11th gen on custom boards

[@dracer35]

That sucks. 12th and 13th gen mobile chips are a huge improvement over the 11th gen and prior.

[@TheNerdy1]

I so would like a revisit to this motherboard to see if you figured out the XMP settings and overclocking! Love what you do! Thanks for all your hard work!

[@cpufreak101]

I got one, I did find where to set the XMP1 profile on it but haven't messed much with overclocking as I don't know what I'm doing

[@Igbf]

I do not know if you will agree with me, but limiting the TDP a bit this seems like would make for a nice NAS motherboard, using Xpenology or TrueNAS. Nowadays motherboards with jasper lake are even more expensive than this, much less capable, I am not sure about efficiency if this combo is properly tuned.

[@Prophes0r]

The problem is going to be PCIe lanes at that point. You have to decide between a high-speed networking card or an HBA. You also have no bifurcation support for using a cheap 4x4x4x4 card with 4x NVMe drives.

[@TheNetGuy]

Would love to see what the onboard graphics capability would be. Could it play Fortnite performance mode or Minecraft? Could be a great kids “first” $300 esports PC and then drop a nice GPU in later after they mow a few lawns ;)

[@nonyabizz9390]

From the two or three videos I've seen on this, yours included, and looking at them on ali express and reading through their (very detailed) listings, I have to say I'm impressed, and I'm thrilled to see a chinese company making a solid, and for all intents and purposes, exceptional product, and that it, to all appearances, does not look like it lies about anything or is a scam. Prices are already starting to go up as people jump on these, but hopefully that encourages the company to make more. They've released a great product, sort of out of nowhere!

[@ubacow7109]

Id like to see more unique chinese ITX boards since chinese manufactures seem pretty invested in ITX cases and cooler designs. ITX board options are always limited even tho ppl will spend insane amounts of money to get the smallest ITX builds possible. Would you also be willing to send the board over to Actually Hardcore Overclocking to do a component mobo analysis?

[@TrevorGelowsky]

Beauregard is easily one of my favorite breweries. I can walk there, but I usually opt to drive because I could never carry that much beer home with me without my vehicle. I'd strongly recommend their ice beers. As for the hardware, I'm wondering if this solution would make a way better emulation setup than my little retropi. And with the prices the Rpi is going for nowadays, little cheap boards like this with integrated CPU start to look very attractive as an alternative.

[@believeinyourself4457]

I did consider the offer the company has relating to these boards. Full details are on the sales pages. Way back in the day, I did run an intel mobile cpu that was known to be compatible with the then cpu socket in use. The one I had, didn't overclock much, It's main advantage was significantly lower power requirements.

[@jforce321]

I love how the ES version of the board conveniently no longer exists (unless you get the 256 buck combo version) as the reviews go up between you and dawid. Now you can only get the more expensive non ES version of the board for like 220 bucks lol. Typical Chinese bullcrap.

[@AmaraTheBarbarian]

Not only does this board look absolutely sick for gaming but I'm looking at putting together an openWRT router to upgrade my networking setup at some point in the future and the 11800H version is looking cheap and much less power hungry than any older desktop x86 I could get at the price. It seems very doable with a couple of those M.2 NICs and a decent wifi card.

Go for a coffee, come back 10 minutes later, press power and the thing works. Totally unreliable. Bios is having major stability issues (for example, change the "silent boot" setting to disabled ? Board refuses to start. Erying themselves are a bad joke in terms of support stating "if the board starts, there's no problem".

LOL I got one of these just last week, ordered in a month ago on whim, I got the 11980hk, talked to the sales rep and they started to design 12th gen so I might get one of those to

[@TheGamelover93]

UHH they want double for it now...

[@nbrown5907]

Running the I9-11900K here with memory overclocking set at pc3200 which is native for the 11900 btw. 3,5 Ghz is base frequency but memory settings have it running at 4.8 Ghz and single cores boost to 5.2 Ghz. TDP is 125 Watts on this desktop one. Oh man nice price my CPU was $263 lol. I encode though and have liquid cooling.

[@OTechnology]

If its the same as mobile CPUs the 3200MHz memory speed can only be enabled using 3200MHz JEDEC spec memory kits. Not XMP 3200MHZ.

Please do a virtualization video with this motherboard!

[@AbsolutelyJaked]

Man imagine if they took this concept and made an ITX board, perfect use case for something where thermal constraints are often a concern. Perhaps could strap the i7 variant CPU on there instead.

[@RahulMulchandanirmm]

Sold out fast, Went to Aliexpress added the board to my card and by the time I got to the payment window it was sold out. :-(

[@austinmesta9862]

Excellent video, thank you. But.. you tested it based on stock Windows right? I'd bet money that the USB would work great on a customized install of windows especially after running something like iobit driver booster. Hardware wise, there's no reason USB shouldnt work great for gaming scenarios, that must be some sort of driver glitch.

I've heard these are more of a DTX form factor than mATX. Any word on whether this would fit in a case that accommodates Mini-ITX & Mini-DTX, such as the NR200p?

[@info0]

you could run games at 1440p or 4K as the higher the resolution, the less CPU is important and GPU starts to matter. Could be interesting to revisit this setup with 4090.

[@michaelleiper]

Being in the UK, with our electricity prices where they are now - this is looking VERY interesting...

[@thedandyp]

It's a great prospect, but just don't forget to factor in 20% VAT, 2.5% Duty Fees, and a handling charge (around £10) on top of the basket price... It takes a little of the shine off sadly :(

[@zilog1]

these mobos are also a great way to reduce ewaste for these are old laptop CPUs. if the CPUs still good the CPUs still good :p

[@TheGoatPC]

well, not $160 any more, Out of stock according to your link but also found for $266. But even at that price it's pretty solid it seems.

[@calaphos]

This seems like the perfect option to build the speedy little distributed home cluster I always wanted. Compact but actual expansion slots for fast networking unlike mini PCs, low power unlike old server hardware and the fast single core performance of a modern chip. And cheap enough to buy a couple without immediatly going bankrupt.

[@night_h4nter]

this thing could make an excellent home server: usb issue isn't a big deal, igpu is present (ez headed access without external gpu and transcoding), low tdp

[@winging-2221]

Currently looking for a cheap, power-efficient platform to replace my e5 2670 server because of poor single thread. This may be an unlikely genuine contender lol

[@CraftComputing]

I'm actually considering a couple more of these as well.
