🇬🇧 Machinist X99-RS9 - detailed review | E5-2678 V3 | i7-6800k | BIOS | O.C. | VRM | Mi899

[@anthonyslaughter1728]

[@CatSovietski]

which ones are they?

[@anthonyslaughter1728]

@@CatSovietski Two are the X99T8's flashed with Mi899 X99F8 bios unlock. The last is a generic x79 atx from Machinist. T8's are using the E5-2678v3 whereas the x79 uses the E5-2650v2. My T8's Win10 sleep function works though.

[@gustavogoette2333]

What I don't understand is why the Chinese are messing up with the BIOS, why they don't try to create a good BIOS. You have shown that one BIOS can be used on multiple motherboards. Following your guidelines, I have seen you troubleshoot turbo boost, USB 3.0 and memory timings... Good video as always man... This is the best KZbin Channel about Xeons Chinese motherboards !!!

[@Miyconst]

It's hard to understand the Chinese logic 😃.

[@EvilEng9]

I was hoping a review would be done for this board because I just bought it. Too bad sleep mode doesn't work but I'm glad my E5 2640v3 will turbo boost. I appreciate your hard work. I'm new to your channel but I love all the videos I've seen so far.

[@IskandarSouza]

Great review! Thanks! I usually measure my mobos in The back part. Generally it shows 5-8 degrees more.

[@Miyconst]

Really? If you keep the motherboard on a box, the back side will heat up this much, but in my case it is mounted on a test bench, and the back side temps are ~5-7 degrees less.

[@lookitsrain9552]

@@Miyconst Yep, back of the mobo tends to be hotter when mounted in a case, much more limited airflow.

[@henriquegonfer7750]

Really, in cases the temperature reach higher value on rear side of motherboard, just back from VRM mosfets, but, if you change the original thermal pad for a high conductibility one, like Thermal Odyssey, the temps tend to be more homogeneous through the heatsing and board. I am using a DELTA 4020 12V 0.6A PWM fan on heatsink, using a fan controller i set the speed to havd a good air flow without noise. I unlocked the board, and set 50-20 undervolting, chipset is C226. I am using E5 1620 V3 4/8 @3.6 all core, 140W cpu. The temps on AIDA FPU test do not hit 60c. I will test with a 2685 V3 12/12 @3.3ghz all cores 120W soon to see the impact on temps.

[@juninhocale4044]

@@Miyconst could i put a thermal pad to cool the back of the motherboard?

[@Miyconst]

@@juninhocale4044 yes, you can do that, it helps to transfer heat from the motherboard VRM to the chassis, but it's also easy to screw something up and cause a short circuit, which will kill your motherboard and be a potential fire hazard.

i do really like your way of reviewing motherboards and going over all the little details of them, chinese or not because motherboards are so complex and have so many features packed that it could be very daunting for someone who doesn't have the board in their hands to know if is a decent mobo or a piece of crap i would like to see more reviews of other more mainstream motherboards in the future when you have more subs and the budget allow for it ofc

[@gkirmathal]

Hey Miyconst, a quick question about the B85/Q87 and memory compatibility. In the past video's you mentioned the C612/x99 chipset is a bit picky of RAM type: rank and nr. of banks a stick has. What about these desktop Q87/B85/H85 boards? Are these implemented chipsets a bit more flexible?

[@Miyconst]

Nope, it's the same situation.

[@zorgonpeterson698]

Is there a guide or some documentation available to try using Huananazhi X99-8MF BIOS with this motherboard like you mention at 5:20 ? I got this board to build a portable workstation but I'm experiencing some very strange issues such as failure to POST or random freezes during IO operations. I want to give the alternate BIOS option a try, but I'm unsure where to look for documentation on this.

[@Miyconst]

If your system behaves this bad, it may be a hardware failure, but feel free to try my Mi899 app, there you will find a collection of different BIOS options. Also make sure to have fresh Windows installation.

As far as I know, the standard Huananzhi X99-8M-F BIOS can be used with Q87 chipset as well, but I can't guarantee that and there is always a risk to brick the motherboard.

Not at the moment, unfortunately. Huananzhi X99-BD4, maybe, but I have to test the board first.

[@tshw0999]

This video is from a few years ago but I'll take a chance at asking a question. Which of these x99 works with overclock and all else important using your Mi899 and has quad memory support? and do you think quad mem support is really worth it in gaming or editing( I don't know much about this, yet)? Because I'm finding it a bit difficult to find which x99 is best to pick ( I'm sure you have heard that a lot). I suppose I was thinking of using the e5 2699 v3. I'm going to continue to watch your vids to learn more about these x99. I'm sure I will watch other vids you have about other things as well because of the time and effort I've seen that you've put into this(x99) alone. Thank you for your time and effort. Oh and I definitely Subscribed.

[@Miyconst]

If you are looking for a motherboard with overclocking and all other bells and whistles, then do yourself a favour and go with AM4 / LGA 1700. For X99, this summary is still relevant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j53OgolvZZKfZ80si=s6gMO8poIZcRU0Qw

[@michaelrowell5143]

What chipset does this use? I have a i7-5820k but all of the X99-RS9 boards I find say they have a B85 chipset. Is this compatible with a i7-5820k, or do I have to find a different one?

[@Miyconst]

It's B85, it's compatible with the i7, but no overclocking.

Maybe the Jingsha X99-8D3 would be an alternative. A little. It cheaper than TF (around 85€ on Ali shipping to Germany). It is using x99 (c612) and 8x DDR3. TF bios could be used and working fine for me with 2678v3 turbo unlocked. DDR3 makes no big difference and used ECC Ram is quite cheap. Thanks for your great review, and helping me to buy some cheap components for playing around with virtualisation.

[@buckshot.522]

Will E5 2670 v3 cause heating issues with this Motherboard as you stated? I do have Hyper 212 cooler and pretty decent case with good airflow, my current CPU which is i7 3770 never goes above 60 Celsius with 100% load. Also Is it a good upgrade from i7 3770 to E5 2670 v3? I mostly use my system for gaming and video editing.

[@Miyconst]

In most cases you will get noticeable performance increase, but it all depends on your GPU, game, and RAM timings. X99-RS9 has a weak VRM, thus I would ensure good airflow over the VRM zone even though E5-2670 V3 is not extremely power hungry.

Hasta ahí, todo "bien" porque pasó como dijiste pero resulta que hoy, mi hijo presionó una tecla del teclado en forma de luna y el equipo "se apagó" y pensamos que era necesario hacer otra vez el clear CMOS porque presionamos el teclado y el mouse y no encendía pero al presionar el botón de encendido, el computador encendió y todos los programas que mi hijo tenía abiertos, seguían abiertos como si nada... osea que, por alguna extraña razón, la suspensión o "sleep mode" está funcionando y no sé por qué.

Hello, I have this motherboard with a 1650v3 Xeon inside of it. I have flashed the 8mf bios and rs9 bios, from your Mi app, with unlocked RAM timings and tried many of them.

I dont change anything, or I do set what I believe to be fair settings (i.e. 38 multi with 1200mv). Still no POST until I clear the jumper. I have been through this time consuming act for awhile of trying different known working BIOS' and have only been left dancing with a tambourine. Why is this happening? My CPU is multiplier unlocked... not even XTU in Windows 10 will let me play with the Multiplier! I am very confused because it says in XTU that it is COMPLETELY UNLOCKED. I'm pulling my hair out.

Hibernate doesn't require too much hardware support. 7:50 Isn't that Turbo Boost Max 3.0? 6800k has it. E5-2678 v3 doesn't. 9:40 While I agree that the VRM is too weak, using a top-down cooler (instead of a tower cooler) would lower the temperature tremendously.

Judging by the TDP - the motherboard will be a fire harazd if you try to stress test it, but I don't know how this CPU behaves in real life. For example, E5-1620 V3 has a very high TDP as well, but in reality, it consumes about as much as E5-2620 V3.

I only have a few doubts, if I first use an e5 2620v3 with the turbo bost bios, will I have a problem if I later want to change the processor to an i7 5930k? And would you recommend upgrading to i7 5930k? excellent video keep it up!

[@Miyconst]

Core i7 CPUs are not compatible with unlocked BIOS, thus you will have to restore the original BIOS before upgrading the CPU. X99-RS9 + i7 is a pointless combo because RS9 doesn't support overclocking. You would much better be with E5-2666 V3.

[@valteracjr]

c ja trabalhou c alguma machinist B75-pro us? estc uma em looping e acho q é a bios corronpida e não acho essa bios p regravar

[@darrinrodden1012]

Can you tell me if this motherboard can support 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4-2133 REG ECC CL15; Because toward the end of this video it states in red that it it reports it doesnt support ECC, but down below you state the 32GB and the 128GB as being supported in white. So, did you actually run the test using these two memory configuration uding ECC REG.?

[@Miyconst]

Yes, I tested 4 x 32 GB RAM and it worked but the ECC function was disabled.

[@williamferreira20]

até qual processador posso colocar nessa placa? comprei ela e mais um 2640v3 mas futuramente posso dar upgrade pra qual processador melhor que esse pra rodar em stock? acho que não me arriscaria no unlock

[@Miyconst]

E5-2660 V3 is the maximum I would recommend for this board.

[@Nriku8]

Thanks for your videos, they helped me to decide on buying a chinese kit! My idea was to mount a 2678 V3, as besides "normal" usage and games, I also do about a render per week, at 4k 60fps. Right now I need to wait 2 hours to render a video of 4 minutes! Do you think that HUANANZHI X99 F8 motherboard will handle it fine? It is worth to go for the 2678 V3 instead of the 2620 V3? My current PC has an i5 3550 and 8Gb of DDR3. Greetings from Spain!

[@Nriku8]

BTW, can you recomend an specific cpu cooler? I am not very fan of RGB systems.

[@Miyconst]

Yes, and yes. Huananzhi X99-F8 will handle E5-2678 V3 with no issues and this CPU is a significant upgrade over E5-2620 V3.

[@Miyconst]

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo would be a good cooler.

[@Nriku8]

Many thanks!! Keep up with those videos, they are so informative and precise :)

[@rootkit748]

hello!! i buy this motherboard to mine and i cant configure to auto start after power down, i need start computer automatic, can you help me?

[@olivagut]

Hello friend, I have problems with the front audio panel and this motherboard. Do you know if you have to do any special configuration to make it work?

[@Miyconst]

You have to manually install Realtek audio drivers.

[@gefoz5332]

I bought this board a month ago and i just realized mine have a debug monitor

[@Miyconst]

You have got an updated revision, but in general it's the same motherboard.

[@gefoz5332]

@@Miyconstthanks!, I also found out the new revision board keep crashing on load, so i try to change the bios to x99-8m-f which solve the issue.

[@tplms]

Hi miyconst, Please if you can help me, I got the Machinist X99-RS9 kit (most current version that has the temperature led) + 2683 v4 + 32g ram ddr4 2666mhz Do you indicate using the bios that already comes in it or one that you have created? As the v4 version has no way to turboboost, what would you advise getting to 3.0GHz? Thanks

[@Miyconst]

Hi there. X99-RS9 is compatible with Huananzhi X99-8M-F BIOS, at least the revision I have tested was compatible. Xeon E5 V4 cannot be turbo unlocked or overclocked, you are stuck with the default frequency.

[@tplms]

ok thanks for the reply And the Bios I download directly from their website or some version of bios from your github?

[@Miyconst]

Both is fine. You can use my Mi899 app to flash the X99-8M-F BIOS or download it from the Huananzhi website and flash yourself.

[@tplms]

@@Miyconst Good, since the 2683 V4 doesn't have turbo boost, when the card arrives, I'll try to do the RAM Timings, do you think it would improve the performance? Does this BIOS that comes with the Machinist RS9 have the option of memory timings?

[@tplms]

@@Miyconst I learned that as V4 versions do not have Turbo Boost, you can use the Throttlestop program to increase the cores and increase performance, then test

[@bobray342]

Thank you for the technical review - what cooler did you use for your build? I bought the motherboard and a Hyper 212 cooler but I am unable to install the cooler.

[@Miyconst]

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo has multiple variants, some come with LGA 2011 mounting, others without. If you don't have the required mounting you need to get another model.

[@kiyoshiakiyama2173]

Could i use it with 2697v3 with unlock turbo boost? I will buy a specific air cooler that helps the vrm also. But is the vrm good enough for the cpu liks the mr9a?

[@Miyconst]

It's better to go with MR9A (Pro) instead.

Pode me ajudar? estou tendo problemas com drive de audio, da minha machinist X99 RS9, Já regravei a BIOS e mesmo assim estou sem audio ainda, socorro !

[@ChangeofPlayy]

i have this motherboard im having issues it boots into bios perfect but after installing windows it just sits there the spinning circle freezes mouse cursor pops up i can move it but system just sits there frozen i can move the mouse cursor im getting motherboard code AA and AE

[@Miyconst]

I don't think there is something I can do remotely, if you bring the PC to me, I can debug it and see which of the components is causing the issues, but most likely it's a defective motherboard.

[@nmocruz]

Is a good opportunity for businesses, firstly they sell this motherboards overheating, then they could offer heatsink and active cooling for the mb as extra accessories to sell to people that want to use certain CPUs

[@Miyconst]

Seems like that 🤣.

[@mateuszzimon8216]

They do it, it's called x99-k2? White Mobo from machinist.

[@Tenggaming01]

Just bought this with 2650 v4 am i good on the temp side of things? Should i water cool the cpu or fan cooler ? To be safe on the temperature side of thing?

[@Miyconst]

E5-2650 V4 is very slow and very cool, you don't need to worry, a simple air cooler is enough.

[@liderek2004]

Hello. I bought i7 5820k and X99 TF. I'm looking for overclocking guide for OC this CPU. But I can't find overclocking guide on american megatrends BIOS. In Overclocking features in BIOS, I don't know, what I supposed to do. I should use "Core Voltage Mode" on Override, or Adaptive?

[@Miyconst]

If you don't know what you are dealing with it's better to leave everything as is. These Chinese boards don't have the best VRM, and applying too much voltage may lead to a dead motherboard. Thus, if you are looking to overclock the CPU, I would suggest you to do some research and understand which option is doing what and what are the safe values.

[@louie.idkone]

Uh would I be able to use an E5-2697 v4 if I have a ton of cooling and case ventilation?

[@Miyconst]

You would, if it's for gaming and not for heavy duty.

[@SiddharthSakhadeo]

Thank you for all your hard work! I viewed a lot of your videos to research and finally bought this motherboard. I’m going to use it for a home server with an Intel Xeon E5 2637 v3 and 32GB of DDR4 ECC memory. If I plan to install Proxmox as the main OS, would you recommend I still flash the BIOS with the recommended version?

[@Miyconst]

Yes, I would always recommend to use X99-8M-F BIOS because the stock BIOS is garbage.

[@SiddharthSakhadeo]

Is there a specific version of the BIOS you would recommend I use, for something that will run 24/7 but will be idle 90% of the time. I don’t think I would need Turbo Boost either, just something that runs stable and uses low power

[@SiddharthSakhadeo]

Got my motherboard, everything seems normal. Installed Windows and ran the Mi899 tool to flash the Huananzhi x99-8M-F BIOS. My previous question was more around if I should use the -50mV or similar BIOS (I'm totally unfamiliar with CPU undervolting) but in the list of available BIOSes for this motherboard, based off the description, the X99-8M-F BIOS seemed like the best. I've now got Proxmox running. Thanks MiyConst for your work again!

[@russellrv]

@@SiddharthSakhadeo What version of the BIOS did you end up using?

[@jhonathanviana2230]

i have a problem, my current configuration is: rs9, 2x4gb atermiter 2666mhz ecc, 2640v3, but after 5 minutes of use, the pc freezes and i need to turn off the button. I saw people talking to set the memory clock at 1066mhz but the rs9 bios only allows 1333. I don't know what to do

[@Miyconst]

You have to test components one by one and figure out what causes the freeze.

Hi miyconst, appreciate the inmense work you put on your content. Will this mobo be able to keep up with a 2670v3 turboboosted? I guess not, but will it have worse temps than a 2640 v3?

[@Miyconst]

E5-2670 V3 should be fine, you just need to ensure good VRM cooling.

[@uldaricko]

@@Miyconst Thank you so much, I ended up going for a Machinist X99 PR9 and e5 2670v3 because I saw a review by Lipezito that had much better VRM thermals than RS9(65-70º vs 80-90º in Aida). Is the PR9 contemplated in your flashing software? Or TBU should be done manually? Thanks in advance

[@felipetronik9663]

Vrm works well with e5 2630v4 or will overheat?

Waiting for Miyconst Review of this board. I suspected that would be some trick with this USB 3, h81 has Just 2 usb3.

Hi bud. I've beenstrugling with rs9 code 96 error. Saw in your personal blog that for Huananzhi's mobo it is related to e5 16xx v3 overclock. Can you tell me if the 96 error means the same for a rs9?

Different motherboards may or may not share the same post codes. Even Huananzhi may use different schemes on different motherboards. Anyway, what BIOS do you have? Did you do TBU? Did you test motherboard, CPU, RAM separately?

[@monstersightingsofficial]

I have this motherboard and it hangs on windows installation on the second reboot. Do you have any idea why?

You have to specify full hardware configuration for me to be able to even guess something.
