usually these kind of mobo's are made in the "night shift" by chinese OEMs. Basically its the time where they had no orders or it's past working time, but turning off the machine will actually cost more than letting it run and produce more stuff, that's why they still pumping more stuff out and selling them unbranded for cheap. quality wise it's still good, maybe on par with the branded one, although you can't really be sure since they were made unbranded, they have no standard whatsoever and probably got no quality check or any tests either. it's cheap, sure. but buy one at your own risk. if you hit a right one, it will save you a couple of bucks, but getting a bad one will potentially cost you your entire system.

You may find it funny, but I've build a few cheap pcs in my life, which consisted of cheap, unbranded chinese hardware, including cpus. But, many of them still works - I built them around 2011-2013. I tend to keep track of my customers, otherwise it is pretty tough to survive nowadays, especially small pc businesses. Last time I checked, as of November '19, those cheap machines still work, only a few of them failed (I believe six or seven failed and I build new ones from better parts). There's one almost unknown brand - I'll edit this commentary when I'll be back at the shop after the quarantine - with name beginning with A, pretty long chinese name written with latin alphabet, they produce motherboards with yellow and brown textolite, which tend to be pretty reliable. It's been more than a year since I've last ordered from them - I had a direct contact, so I don't know if they still exist. If they do, I'd be happy to shoot a video myself.

I built my younger son a computer based on one of the similar boards to this one, a socket 2011 board so I could use an 8 core xeon I picked up for $25. It only supports dual channel memory, however it did work with 16 gig server dims, which are cheap as dirt. And the PEG slot is electrically 16x. Its performance is right in line with what is to be expected. It isn't as fast as a proper server board with quad channel memory and tunable bios, but it's actually not far behind when said server board is running dual channel. It is within 5% which for sub $100 invested all said, (not including spare parts I had for drives and case) seems good to me. It has been running for almost 2 years with a 1060ti. It has been surprisingly stable so long as it isn't fucked with. My son couldn't be happier that it has more than enough power to play FortNight and stream to twitch. As well as be fast at editing and exporting his video's. Yeah the xeon's lower clocks are not ideal as a gaming machine, but I didn't give a shit about the performance, he was only 10 when I built it, and he thinks I built him Megatron. Its single threaded feels like it is half of my 4790K but he doesn't care. And 16 threads it is actually pretty good at exporting video as well, seems every bit as fast as my machine there, if not faster.

I went for a Huanan (Zhi) X79 Deluxe board for $138, and purchased an E5-1650 V2 CPU ($134). The board is an improvement over the Huanan that was reviewed on TechYesCity. This board I believe uses the C602 chipset and can support EEC registered memory (server grade). As I have 32GB on my DELL dual socket T5600 (w/ dual E5-2667's), I will take 16GB from that rig to install on the new rig. I also understand this board allows for overclocking up to 4.2Ghz without reflashing/modding the BIOS to get to 4.5Ghz. The E5-2XXX CPU's do not support overclocking, so it appears the best value for money choices on this board are E5 1650 V1, E5-1650 V2 (note E5-1680 V2 is still significantly more expensive). In any event, I haven't received all of the components, so can't say more at this time.

We plugged it in, turned it on and watched the smoke rise up from his motherboard as it fried it. Later on, after he got money together to get a new computer, we tested some of his old parts and found that the PSU took the motherboard, the RAM and even one fan. I get that not everyone has unlimited funds to build a computer, but he found out that day that it would have been cheaper to buy a more expensive PSU instead of having to replace nearly his entire system.

If you can, check who makes the capacitors on that board. Quality branded capacitors would probably be a good indicator of quality. Plus they're one of the most common things to go bad on motherboards. They're not the end all be all of it but it's a helpful indicator of the quality of components that make up the board in general as if they wanted to cut corners that'd be one of the 1st things they'd go cheap on.

Mine was sold as new and packaged in very good condition. The only negative was the badley translated manual. I think caveats still apply if something is too good to be true

[@jackywang2642]

too expensive.more used h61 below 15£ in china

[@marksargeant1019]

I paid a premium buying new but I avoided any upset with a used m/board

[@moutouhome8232]

Did you think a can buy this board h61m to run rx 480 gb??

[@hpalvz]

Seeing the location of the PCIe x16 slot... it's probaby wired through the chipset and in x4 or x1 mode.

Backplates are killer weapons

[@mikedutrisac7723]

The color pinout for the power switch and led lights, i cannot figure it out, can you please tell me how the layout for the switches are setup, not even getting a bios post.

[@HaydenH]

How much was it?

[@010111010110]

[@lucasrem]

Sentlee Try google X7-V121

[@leeosborne5877]

You and LGR best on KZbin mate

[@MadIIMike]

The PCIe lock (or whatever the thing at the end of the 16x slot is called) looks a lot like those used my MSI...

[@vetrix2724]

lol its the same off plenty of boards

[@Shrek-iv8gu]

Same on my Asus board, Whats your point?

[@MadIIMike]

@@Shrek-iv8gu ​ IIRC MSI did start it, others adapted it later.

[@Minitomate]

The drivers are unbranded too, and that's why this motherboards cost less, because you can find those drivers after this has melted your house.

Sharp backplate is either a coincidence or a reference to Bryan from TYC.....?

[@bolom4c177]

Could you tell me anything about the delivery time? Thanks for the video

[@RoomerJ]

I'd love to see a video for a cheap board like this but for the 1366 socket.

I have had an X58 (1336) Chinese board, running a X5650 for over 1 year with no problems . (It can't take anything much higher specced than that). Anyway -it's only used for browsing the net . Apart from being a bit sparse,( it has an msata port-however), it always boots twice before windows starts up.

RayTracing ON - quite an interesting effect on your T-shirt.

People in the USA and UK are obsessed with brands. This is just how they grew up. If you want a good product you looked at the brand and asked your friends how that brand works. The reality in 2018 is brands are just decals put on the product and have no indication of who actually made the product. He said you should buy from a "reliable manufacturer" but who? Do you think ASUS and EVGA are manufacturers? They order their products from the same factory in China where this board was made. They add their profit margin and perhaps a cool decal or two. The only positive to a brand is the company has a reputation and possibly some warranty service. The latter depends on who it is because quite a few big names don't stand behind their products.

Hello! Could you provide us with the BIOS of this X7-V124 motherboard?

[@busterscrugs]

I have an ECS H81 board in my system. It was under $40 USD iirc. Works great other than the ethernet port stopped working, so I stuck a NIC in there on top of my 1070 lmao. It's not terrible for a cheapy board, it even allows me to pseudo overclock my non K series CPU by permanently holding the maximum 4 core boost frequency, at lower than stock voltage, resulting in decent temps with the stock cooler.

[@MrMeerkat818]

If I remember correctly, h61 did not natively support USB3.0 so kinda not surprising it doesn't have USB 3.0?

[@JorgeCarmona]

Great reviews, greetings from Mexico

[@jb678901]

Took your advice too late and picked up a used ASROCK Extreme 3 X79 for $200. About the same price as what I spent on the failed HuananZhi Deluxe (plus import duties). Happy now that the build is OK and my other components were not damaged by that Chinese board. The Huanan purchase...a complete loss.

[@iamlupaz9528]

I had one as well for LGA 1155. It was as barebones as possible but my i7 2600k ran pretty well on it

[@ramiere1412]

Can you try a budget mini itx build?

[@DissanayakeDinal]

Hello sir i just got one of those motherboards but my motherboard is a b75 chipset and the motherbord came in a very pro looking box made with hard card board and i was scared after i saw your video so i did some research and i found out that the motherboard is made by a company call'd wivio or some thing like that and turns out it was a good motherboard company in china so thanks for your video if i didn't saw youre video i was going to buy another motherboard love youre videos 😁 and its been 2 years and i didnt had any problems

[@Levy_Wilson]

Is this a mini mini ATX board? It looks like it would fit in an old eMachines system I have. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if these are old stock from after Acer bought eMachines and integrated the case design into their Aspire desktop lines.

[@theneokenshin]

Time to revisit this in 2023

[@josephschroedle481]

What camera do you use

[@R-ty4mo]

I bought that when I was broke, my pc was always rebooting

[@LordLab]

looks like "Runing" motherboard brand ( yes 1 n there ) they are ok , this is OEM factory making boards for many other brands . never tested this low end model , normally I use high end models and server xeon models from them never got any failed part so far . Other big OEM factory in china is FoxConn and most of users have no idea who they are .
