Great insights on this motherboard, have been using one of these for the past two months on a rig to test performance of X99 platform. It's sad it does not support quad channel for each cpu, nonetheless it is a great product for the price!!

Is there any big performance hit if this X99 motherboard does not support quad channel memory but only dual channel ? I plan to use an X99 board like this for virtualization (not interested in gaming). Also using dual channel memory architecture will allow to install 32GB x 8 modules to use it at it maximum capacity of 256 GB ?

@@ciobysv23 hi Christian, I do not believe you'll have a huge performance impact for virtualization, but there certainly is some impact. Anyway, it will depend a lot on what kind of workload your virtualized environments are going to execute, if only some web servers or something on this line I think you'll be mostly fine. I would expect bigger hits on memory intensive applications like rendering and even games.

@@MarioMazzotti I plan to use it for building network topologies using virtualization Qemu/KVM and some of them might get big using a lot of RAM. That's why I asked. In this case it better to focus on Huananzhi X99-F8D which seems to support octal channel configurations but the price is higher ?

For me here in Brazil, buying the F8D would yield 40% more money, DU99D4 is already a good fit for my needs. \o

Nice of you to cover dual socket gaming setups and their increased latency. Most expensive hardware task is sharing/synchronization. This somehow is missed by most folks who have never benchmarked single app multi-socket/multi-core.
@Lady_Zenith4 жыл бұрын
Most of the performance penalty when it comes to gaming and dual CPU comes from cache, not memory. The Haswell-E platform benefits greatly from the large unified inclusive ringbus cache. It helps games a lot, but when the threads of the game get split across multiple CPUs, they are not in the same L3 cache pool and that is what hits the performance the most. The memory latency to the other CPU is minor detail compared to the fact that you have to look in to memory at all cause the data you were looking for are not in your L3 cache. (this is the same reason why for example Skylake-X, which lacks ringbus and inclusive L3, has lower gaming IPC than old Haswell). I found out, that locking all the threads to single CPU can improve the performance greatly. Using SW called "process lasso" you can do that automatically, and if you split your resources right, you can game on one CPU and render on the other at the same time without performance loss. What you do not want to do it let windows manage things, they will keep throwing all threads everywhere like hot potato, causing cache trashing and sometimes major performance hits. The onyl scenario where it does not matter is when you have memory-light SW that threads ideally to all cores and the individual threads do not communicate at all, like Cinebench.

Thanks for finding the info about the MOSFETs. I think it's interesting how many of these Chinese motherboards use VRM components of wildly varying specifications, often including MOSFETS that (at least "on paper") are much better than the ones used on mainstream motherboards by the biggest manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS. The 110A 2.6mOhm low-side MOSFETs used on this motherboard, for example, should be very good, and (unlike on the Veneida x99 which you recently reviewed) the high-side MOSFETs are also quite good. I'm still confused and curious about why these chinese manufacturers are using these 100A+ MOSFETs when mainstream motherboards don't go above 80A MOSFETs or 90A Power Stages. Mainstream motherboard VRMs will usually have more phases, or will use 2 low-side MOSFETs per phase, so mainstream motherboard VRMs are usually better overall, but it's interesting to see the different design philosophy between the different markets: Lots of cheap MOSFETs vs a few expensive MOSFETs.
@Miyconst4 жыл бұрын
When it comes to the Chinese reasoning, it's always about the $$. Apparently, it's cheaper for them to use high quality / high current MOSFETs with lower number of phases and cheaper VRM cooler in order to support CPUs with high TDP / high number of Cores.

I've got mine of this from taobao for 545 RMB, which was being sold with Zhixin(智芯) brand, model name X99双路 (lit. Dual-road). When it used with turbo boost-unlocked dual E5-2683v3, it throttles a little without additional cooling to the heatsinks, but still works with a single 8-pin power connector. Still, it's great to having a Task Manager filled with 56 threads for this price tag. BTW, I wouldn't have known about the secondary M.2 slot can be used as an NVMe slot if I don't watch this. Thank you for your great video! Edit: my bad, it's 8-pin, not 4-pin.

So I got my ZX-DU99D4 a few days ago. The BIOS date is from december 2020, so I guess it‘s newer than the one on the board reviewed here. It does support power on after power loss and „last state“. It also supports PCIe bifurcation, at least it says so in the BIOS (I have no card to test it). It is indeed picky with RAM. I had to try several RAM sticks before some worked. Otherwise it works just fine. The two E5-2680 v3 will turbo to 3GHz out of the box.

There is no way you can change the motherboard layout yourself. You would have to physically change a bunch of wires inside the motherboard to change the PCI-E slot connection.

When I insert a M.2 ssd into the switchable M.2 port (the one connected to CPU1), the ssd does not show up in the BIOS so I cannot, for example, boot from it. When I insert it into the the other M.2 port (the one limited to PCIexpress 2), it does show up and boots fine. Do you have an idea as to what might be going on/how to make the fast M.2 port recognize the ssd?
