Qiyida X99-QD4 (G629A) - detailed review of the motherboard

[@jcugnoni]

I got the Huananzhi x99-QD4 and it is a great little X99 motherboard. Running a 2680v3 currently, without TB mod. It is very stable and has all I need.

[@-_-DatDude]

Wish it supported ECC Ram. 😞

[@alfredempay5776]

what games are you playing? i would still go for turbo unlock and undervolting for Alan Wake, Lies of P, Elden Ring, TLOU, plague tales etc. These games need frequency to maintain minimum 75 fps ultra settings native(no dlss/xss/fsr)

[@urito18]

Thank you for putting up this detailed reviews. Long time lurker here. Also, your cat is beautiful

[@Miyconst]

Thanks for the support and yes, Zion is a beautiful cat, also as naughty as any other cat. 😸

[@alfredempay5776]

i appreciate that you are recommending v4 cpus more often. People who buys x99 motherboards usually goes with cheap computer cases and some does not even bother with the fans just to save for a better gpu. Even though the e5-2697v3 is a very good deal today, i would still go for e5-2690v4 or e5-2696v4. The vrm is the only problem most of the users are facing.

[@OldPoi77]

I have two of these using your bios mod instructions I have them both running 12 core 2670 xeons full turbo works fine!

[@gamerszone8425]

thank you very much for review

[@MarcosScheeren]

Really thanks for this content! Consistent X99 reviews are a given!

My first Qiyida x99 motherboard (the green one) still works after 3 years lol, only one ram slot is defective. paired with an E5 2640v3 turbo boost and a RX 6600

[@dexsters5643]

I used this motherboard in my GF pc. I put 2x40mm fans on the VRM heatsink, and a Hyper212 as the cpu cooler, and the case is the CS-109 from aerocool with 3 fans for great airflow. The cpu i used was the E5-2690v3 with turbo unlovk and the back of the motherboard in this pc didnt get to 60°c(was around 55~ on behind the VRM) and around the cpu socket 50°c. However the cpu is limited to 3.4ghz if i remember. And recelty testing the board with a 2697v3 which is also capped to 3.4ghz on this board. Still great performance for the price. My gf has a GTX 1070 in her build and in mine i got a RTX 3070

[@forzaflyracer3473]

Love these boards. Just built one of these with a i7 5820k and Vega 64. I think im gonna download and put your bios in. Not 100% sure but i think this i7 might need a little boost to keep up with the Vega 64.

[@PauloLima-bs9ww]

You are truly a unique guy, congratulations on your willingness to develop the x99 platform and our thanks here in Brazil. I would like to know if you could make changes to the bios to overclock this new Qiyida motherboard with C612 chipset, like a mix with the huananzy f8 bios to activate the function? 1:24

[@Miyconst]

What Qiyida motherboard are you talking about? The one in the review? It uses desktop chipset, not C612.

[@PauloLima-bs9ww]

@@Miyconst the White qiyida with D4 heatsink, if I'm not mistaken, a Brazilian KZbinr managed to overclock it by installing the huananzy F8 bios

[@user-zo9xt4jc9u]

I have a question. I'm using a pc with an i7-5960x on a huananzhi x99-8m-f motherboard. I want to upgrade my CPU and use a xeon e5 2698v3 with turbo unlocked. In this case, is it better to upgrade the motherboard? I would like to know the recommended microatx motherboard in that case.

[@Miyconst]

Yes, motherboard replacement would he good but I can't recommend any immediate mATX replacement, only ATX. So, I would just ensure good VRM cooling and use X99-8M-F until it dies.

[@unreal4175]

I bought this Motherboard for 42 dollar and I'm using E5 2680v4 and gtx 1660 with 650w psu, can you tell me the location of the 4 pin that has smart fan?

[@Miyconst]

It's the one that is labeled as CPU fan.

З самого початку я дивився на серверну пам'ять, щоб прокачати з 8 гб на 32 гб, потім перейшов на материнки з процесором(2620 v3 -> 2680 v4) та пам'яттю, видалось що пів ціни складає сама память, тепер дивлюсь рецензії на конкретних виробників, я дивуюсь як швидко я не тільки підняв бюджет у двічі, але почав вважати, що це й вигідно 😂

[@oremarinkovic7925]

Hello, i have a Kllisre X99-D4M, aka the E5-F9. I have problems you mentioned in the prevoius videos, the sata transfer speeds being generally low and all over the place. What compatible bios would you recommend and how hard would it be to flash?

[@Miyconst]

I have not tested this motherboard thus I can't suggest any BIOS. For flashing you can try Mi899 app.

[@doswindows8570]

These no-name, or somewhat-name boards don't have SLIC table. How do you activate ? Is there a JINGSHA.XRM-MS certificate somewhere ? What would be the 25-digit COA number ?

[@Miyconst]

I really doubt you will find any certification with these Chinese motherboards.

[@impdin9415]

One question, does overclocking work on the Huananzhi x99 QD4?

[@Miyconst]

It doesn't work with the stock or any other mod based on Huananzhi BIOS, the iEngineer option I didn't test with Huananzhi X99-QD4.

[@impdin9415]

Thanks.

[@beamngtv4000]

which mobo-or brand i should choose for e5-2680v3 i dont have lot budget but wanna oc a bit and want a reliable thing

[@Miyconst]

There is no such thing as "reliable" from AliExpress but if you demand a single answer then Machinist X99-MR9A.

[@milk4chillout]

Hi, where can I find the front-panel settings, to connect a button to turn the board on? Thanks

I have turbo boosted a Xeon 2680V3 base 2.5Ghz turbo 3.3Ghz on a Qiyida motherbase. What is calling my attention, is that most of the time, looking at CPU task manager the actual frequency is about 1.23Ghz, is that normal? I know that using CPUID stress bench the CPU frequency goes to the maximum 3.3 Ghz, but under normal usage the frequency goes below base value, is there an explanation for that?

[@Miyconst]

That's normal, it's a power saving feature, if there is nothing to do, the CPU clocks itself down.

[@filippopirontilubrano7738]

Thanks for your answer. But even if I am looking a KZbin and simultaneously saving a file, and running antivirus checking, it is still running below base frequency. Is that still normal? Sorry for insisting

[@Miyconst]

Do you experience lags? These kind of simple tasks are nothing for modern CPUs, especially the ones with many cores.

[@filippopirontilubrano7738]

No lags at all, maybe you are right, thank you anyway, best regards

[@AbdulAhad-fl7kb]

Hi, great detailed video. I was planning to buy a x99 combo with Xeon 2680 v4 randomly and then I came across your channel, now I'm a bit confused which brand should I get? I want to use it for gaming purposes with accurate temp readings, can you suggest any from aliexpress? thanks!

[@Miyconst]

Accurate temp readings of what? AliExpress is a lottery, so whatever you choose may end up defective.

[@Saphykitten]

Does the x16 slot support bifurcation?

[@Miyconst]

I didn't test it with this particular motherboard, sorry.

Great video. I need E5 2696v3 prices go back to normal. It's already been doubled. What's your thought on E5 2673 v4?

[@Miyconst]

E5-2673 V4 had very low frequency under load, so pretty pathetic for the asking price.

did you found a solution for the hot mosfets?

Soo - QD4 with different name but physical m2 wifi port? damn - it seems "OG QD4" has to go away

Yes, and compared to Huananzhi we lost PCI-E X1 slot in favor of M.2 slot for WiFi.

[@Karti200]

tbh@@Miyconst - much better thing in my opinion since replacing m2 wifi modules seems - at least in my opinion - more open for end user you can just buy a module if you want and replace just like a drive, you want to jump from WiFi 6 to WiFi 6E or maybe WiFi 7 in a near future? No need to wait for overpriced PCIE cards, just get a small module and poof :D amazing thing

[@mg95tux]

How bad has machinist gone, once at least it was trying to do something meaningful, now it's just cloning some other Chinese boards (Huananzhi, who seems like the one company that's doing something decent on the x99 line), and piggybacking on other companies and people's bioses, doing worse board at the same price of originals.... What a shame

[@Miyconst]

This one is not a Machinist board and speaking about Machinist vs Huananzhi, according to my private statistics, I would say Huananzhi quality went down and Machinist went up.
