Huananzhi X99-QD4 - the 2024 version with three M.2 slots

[@p_menta]

Remember when I said that purchases in Brazil over 50USD would be taxed at 92%? Now purchases below 50USD will be taxed at 42.5% By the end of the year it will be 100% for >= 50USD and 50% for everything else. Government officials want to provide "equality" for the internal market. It's easier to screw the poor more than lower taxes for companies. This type of policy brought several factories from Intel, Apple, TSMC to Brazil, no... wait... In fact, what happened was Sony and Ford and many others leaving the country😓

[@Miyconst]

Man, that's a disaster, you gotta do something with this government.

[@Elinzar]

equality... thats a fucking lie, they just want to fill their pockets with tax money and give a few Importers that are in bed with them tax free imports so they can as well rip you off with 2X prices while they pay nothing for them overseas... they are taking notes from here in uruguay where for absolutely no reason more than greed we gotta pay 2X anything imported where there wont EVER be local production for that stuff

[@AwSomeNESSS]

Bought this board based on your recommendations, as I needed a mATX variant and this was the only one that didn't have glaring issues on the channel. It's mostly worked a treat, although for whatever reason when using Mi899 presets to get TBU working, it'll freeze after 10-15 minutes of routine load. Resetting to default in the BIOS keeps TBU working and fixed my stability problems. Currently have a E5-2699 V3 that I have configured to 16c/16t that runs at 3.4-3.6GHz under full load.

[@Miyconst]

That's a great CPU!

[@AwSomeNESSS]

@@Miyconst it really is! Wish I read the AVX offset better though, as it ends up clocking a bit lower then lesser core counts, but I believe the increased L3 cache makes up some of the difference! It’s at the point where it’s mostly memory limited when running games like BFV/BF1.

*Great video, I agree, 3 NVME slots are overkill, would've preferred a X1 PCIE, thanks will stick to Machinst MR9A/Pros for now*

[@Kevin-vh6nn]

Are there any x99 boards that have pcie 4, gen 4 nvme and support type c without using pcie slots?

[@Miyconst]

No. That's theoretically not possible. All LGA 2011-3 CPUs support maximum PCI-E 3.0.

[@Kevin-vh6nn]

@Miyconst Gotcha, I searched for the last few weeks and came up empty as well... but as we already know you can run gen 4 nvme on pcie 3 but your speeds will be 3500 mbs, not 7000 mbs. And 4.0 gpu"s only lose 2-5% performance in 3.0 which is not major... Thanks buddy, had to ask you bc you seem like you know your mobos

[@yotoprules9361]

@@Kevin-vh6nn If you need Gen 4, cheapest option would be Maxsun B550m Terminator mobo with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU (NOT the 5500, or any APU). But for most people, gen 4 is not necessary, if you're on a budget then Gen 3 is still more than enough for most use cases.

I see that they're both what you call "flower" type cooler and "C-type" downdraft cooler (like the thermalright SI-100 for example). Do you consider them to be the same thing or do you make a difference ? If they're different, what "flower" like cooler would you advise that we can find on the market ?

[@Miyconst]

Technically these two are different cooler types, I am just generalizing here. Both options have their pros and cons. The true flower like mostly have less cooling capacity and don't have heat pipes but the airflow is slightly better for VRM cooling.
