Hello, i have this board 8M-F with 64GB DDR4, NVME, RX580 and E5-2680v3 (12 cores) TU Unlocked, undervolt -75 -65 and works perfectly, also windows sleep mode, i work with a lot of virtual machines every day and this is very huge load to pc, this board works perfectly with 12 cores processor. I like your reviews but in this time i think your verdict needs to be reconsidered a bit... This motherboard is not so bad. Regards from spain!

[@Miyconst]

The question to ask is how long the motherboard is going to last under such load. It also very much depends on your chassis airflow. The motherboard is not bad, its VRM is very weak though.

[@nmocruz]

if the motherboard is operating at the max temperature you can get some components blowing someday, because lifetime is affected by the temperature.

[@fernandook7942]

[@nathangamble125]

Based on the layout it looks like the VRM has 3 phases to the CPU, each phase feeding into two power stages. Each power stage consists of one high side MOSFET, one low side MOSFET, and one inductor. Are you sure that the other PWM signal goes to the memory, rather than just being unused? I think it is possible for it to be set up that way, but I don't know of any motherboards that use the PWM signal from the main PWM controller for the memory, even if it has spare/unused phases. I've certainly seen unusual VRM design choices from other Chinese X79 and X99 motherboards, so I wouldn't say it can't be set up that way, but most motherboards use a separate "buck" PWM controller to drive the memory VRM. I believe that the small rectangular chip between the R80 inductor and memory capacitors at the bottom left at 3:00 may be one of these (possibly an RT8120D).

[@Miyconst]

I am not sure, since I am not a technical expert, but I have consulted with some engineers and they told me so. It could have happened, that I didn't understood them well, and the RAM is not powered by this controller, I will try to clarify that.

[@saviofonseca5210]

that's exactly what I thought, to some other pwm that controls the memories and other outputs, what he showed seems to me only from the cpu phases, I saw another pwm nearby, I believe it's 4+2 phases total.

@@Riga_Style I wanted the extra threads due to running UNRAID, several dockers, and VM's, which is why I went 2678v3. Also, I got a good deal on the ram and I needed/wanted ECC for my NAS.

[@jordanwalker2000]

Excellent content as always. I have a question for you: If you perform a bios level turbo boost unlock, then change (upgrade) the CPU later, will the unlock still remain in place for the new CPU? Thanks.

[@Miyconst]

If you apply the Turbo Unlock hack on the BIOS level, then it will stay there until you flash another BIOS. That's why it's important to restore the original BIOS if you plan to install a CPU which doesn't support Turbo Unlock.

[@jordanwalker2000]

@@Miyconst Thank you for the fast reply. Good to know. I plan to upgrade from 2680v3 to 2699v3, so I should be fine to leave the same bios.

thanks a lot. i was a bit suspicious about this motherboard, bought it after your review. but i am concerned about upgrading the cpu later(2678v3, maybe in several years). should putting some additional heatsinks on vrm's do the work or switching motherboard would be better?

[@Miyconst]

It depends on what will be available in a few years, maybe another motherboard and another CPU will be a better option.

[@danilosteps5344]

I really would like to know about that 4 pin system fan connector, you said that the temperature sensor does not work, then what would happen if I plug a PWM case fan there? Will it work at the full speed all the time or always at the slowest speed? Can it be configured to adjust the speed with the CPU temperature at least? Thank you for this unique content, your work and your blog are a inspiration for me.

[@Miyconst]

The second 4-pin PWM connector is not possible to regulate with the BIOS I have tested. The default speed is somewhere 60-70% by my impression.

[@amdrebataglia]

Great video. So, another 3+1 phase VRM. At least it doesn't blew up XD No wonder price got lower than x99-8M and that atrocious m.2 location, 😩. On the bright side, USB3 works fine and x1 slot can be populated with pcie usb cards for more ports

[@brunociminelli]

Dear Miyconst, fantastic analisys! I bought this with 2630Lv3 for cheap gaming, and was planing on a upgrade. Many brazilians doing the same because of high dollar value around here. Despite of the temperature, do you think that just adding a fan would allow to use a cpu like 2678v3 or 2680v3? Another thing, did you have any issues with the PCIex16 and diferent video cards? When I added my Zotac GTX970 it refuses to work on stock, had to set as PCIex4 or 8 to boot up. Best regards, keep up with good job!

[@Miyconst]

Hi Brune. I did not have any issues with the PCI-E X16 slot, it worked with X16, X8, and X1 GPUs. For better gaming performance I would pick a V4 CPU with lower power consumption and would skip E5-2678 V3 on this motherboard.

I’ve been planning to build a X99 system from AliExpress but I see now that these boards are not worth the money. The only decent board is probably the TF but still, it’s very expensive and it’s ATX. Everything else has VRM heat issues, sensor reading issues, poor audio, and then lots of random anomalies (bios/pci-e/usb3/b85 chipsets/etc). With all these problems, they should be cheaper. Since they’re not, even the cheapest branded Ryzen boards seem much better options. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for the videos and especially English versions. I would like your advice on making the most cost-effective decision with my next GAMING/Media (will not be used as server) PC build. Should I get a dual CPU MB or single CPU MB? and what make/model? Definitely want overclockable CPU, Pretty sure DDR4 will be a benefit gaming is the main function of the build. You seem to recommend the E5-2678 v3 or for gaming should I simply just choose a compatible CPU with highest clock or turbo? Or should I just go Ryzen, pre-built, pre-owned or WalMart lol. I do already have a GTX1650 SUPER that will be upgraded later. Currently in an aging ASUS G20CB which has i7 6700, 16GB DDR4 SO-DIMM thats plagued by a "custom" H170 motherboard powered by 2 laptop style AC power bricks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other than a used parts build I will never again use ASUS or intel products intel changes socket type for no reason and while ASUS had this board a bios patch or something to upgrade CPU to kaby or coffee lake intel wouldnt allow. Problem with ASUS is their prices and in the case with my G20CB a week after warranty went out the GTX 1070 fried no signal not detected ASUS customer service/tech support couldnt answer any questions about their product that didnt come with a motherboard manual (e.g. jumper settings, PCIE power ect.) and apparently they stopped releasing driver updates so having issues with entire system. yeah so asus, intel, apple and razer Im done with.

[@Miyconst]

It's always a bad idea to buy a custom made prebuild PC. These PCs are designed to attract with a price and then die right after the warranty period. They also try to make sure that it's next to impossible to upgrade to fix the PC. Answering your questions, E5-2678 V3 is not an overclockable CPU and you won't benefit from it in games / media. If you really want to change the PC - go the Ryzen route. Ryzen 3500X / 3300X / 3100X are all rather good for your needs and can be overclocked with almost any motherboard.

Great videos On another note I got that motherboard working it has a Intel C610 bios which I flashed and it came back to life, sadly only 2 Dimm slots work, with 4 Dimms inserted it fails with a 99 code.

Why would you want to file down DDR3 into DDR4? You can just get a DDR3 compatible X99 motherboard instead.

Hello i'm a little confused will a Core i7-5930k work properly with this motherboard? i mean especially the 16x slot to use it with a dedicated graphics card for gaming or does it need a Core i7-5920k? also are there any better cheap alternatives that you would suggest?

Core i7-5930k has 40 PCI-E lanes, thus the PCI-E X16 slot works as needed.

This might not be related but is there a way to make all cores run at max stock speed(where it's only originally limited to one core) possible but at the same time not run it at max at all times(it will be at low speed when idle)? Especially with this mobo or any other x99 ones.

Turbo Boost Unlock works exactly as you specify. While idling, CPU still downclocks itself, it speeds up under load only.

[@Miyconst]

Overall it's a nice build, but 500 Watt PSU might be to little, especially if you take a low grade unit. Huananzhi X99-8M-F might be struggling with E5-2640 V3, thus you have to ensure good airflow in the chassis.

[@pedromarichal]

Nice video! I tried flashing -50/-50 rom on my Huananzhi 8M-F so I could set the ram timings, but when Windows boots up, the system freezes in like 10s. I thought it happened due to the "aggressive" timings I had set, but when I reset the system with the stock ram timings, I got the same problem. Currently, I am using a modified BIOS that I got from outside Mi899 software and it is working greatly, even though I think lowering the timings could increase some fps in games. I am using a E5 2630LV3 by the way. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

well, the 10100f is 50 bucks cheaper where i am which is 50 dollars more towards a gpu. 3500x has more cores and cache, 10100 has more threads and an edge in singe core performance. overall its about a wash, so id get the cheaper one. Both have a nice upgrade path later if needed.

Avoid those ES CPU. You can't overclock them, you can't Turbo Unlock them, and there is a chance that they won't work with the Chinese X99 boards.
