I have one HuananZhi X79 deluxe motherboard paired with E5-4627V2 (8C/8T, all core 3.5Ghz), with 32GB (4x8GB) of REEC 1600 DDR3 and a GTX 1080Ti. All powered by Rosewill 650W Bronze PSU. My eldest daughter uses it for graphics designing/drawing, light gaming, and VR. The PC case is a CoolerMaster Masterbox Pro RGB with 3x120mm inlet and 1x120mm exit. I installed one 90mm RGB fan blowing on the VRM heatsink, to ensure the temps remain low with this Chinese MB. I simply glued the top of the fan frame to the bottom of the cases top plate, at an angle to not obstruct the flow of air into the CPU fan cooler. Works like a charm and I have had no issues for over a year with this particular rig. I chose the E5-4627V2 (locked) because it has a relatively high native turbo and therefore, with BIOS fixed multipliers set to 35x across all cores, manages the load very well AND at low temps. I prefer this approach with these Chinese MB's, as paying a premium for an unlocked CPU with an OC to 4.1Ghz may put too much stress on the power delivery. Even though prices have dropped significantly for the E5-1650V2, I prefer the higher core count of the E5-4627V2. Yes, I lose hyper threading but this is a non issue for the use case.
@@BensTechLab The E5-4627V2 I bought almost 2 years ago...got lucky with an eBay purchase for only $85 at that time. Couldn't find much about that CPU except for the ark.intel data sheet.

Excellent video! I was very hesitant on deciding on a Xeon choice for my machinist board due to the unknown VRM abilities, but you've cleared that up completely! Gonna go for something a bit hotter than the 2650v2, but I think with some decent airflow it shouldn't be too much hotter than your recorded temps.
Great vid and info! Just got my Chinese x79 Jingsha Model x79-S 3.0 and I paired it with the 10 core 2660 v2. Was worried about the VRM temps after reading some posts on Reddit about the possibility of overheating the VRMs when running higher TDP chips or overclocking chips like the 1650 v2 etc, but after watching this I can rest easy with my 2660 v2.

If you have the same Board in the video, that i have to, and you want a better cooling solution because you,and i dont like toasty things (because the hotter something runs means more elektric resisting the less reliability it is) i got a cheap effective cooling solution. i bought some aluminum strips from ebay 2mm thick and placed them squeezed between the fins of the Stock VRM heat sink 24 of them. basically i extend it the VRM mass 4 times and tdp with hit temps are not going higher anymore above 50c. Additional when you like it tight you can use glue, i used tiny bit of fermit (5€) its heat resisted up to 1100c (well i guess little overkill but works)

So far I just used a case fan and it is working quite nicely, test results in this video: czcams.com/video/87Zoc2VP2lk/video.html But I will keep your tips in mind if I need more cooling under continuous load.
Used prime95 to check the wattage once....touched 95 watts but didn't had thw faith in the kllisre x79 motherboard's VRMs so didn't do an overnight stability test but this Machinist one seems better built.

Maybe toss a link on somewhere for that multimeter with the temperature probe, that's pretty slick, I found one on Amazon for $37 looks about right, so that's a buy link I'd click because I'm about done with the $10 Harbor Freight one I've been using for years. Having a way to check temperatures on computer goodies would make it simpler to diagnose some problems versus playing the "something's broken, time to throw parts at it, should I replace this or that now" game.
just in case, you might wish to redo your thermal compound application once you put that server into use. The pea size glob technique I find not enough to deal with 95 W + cpu. I usually use the X method when applying thermal paste. It's better coverage than the pea size method. Might also result in potential thermal reading by the sensor and your manual thermal probe.
I did remove and reapply the thermal paste a few times through a few rebuilds and my pea size seemed to be fine. But it also depends on the brand and viscosity of your thermal paste. I did buy and use Noctua NT-H1 even on cheap chinese ebay coolers because I could buy a larger 10g syringe on amazon for handling rebuilds which will be enough for a bunch of applications (what's a pea size, 1/2 g?).
@@BensTechLab On recommendation from Tech Yes City, I picked up a syringe of GD900 from AliExpress, 15ml tube I think. Just got a bit extra since I plan on doing that Xeon build later this year, and I might have to re-paste a GPU as well.
@@marcc5768 as long as there is enough to cover the whole cpu, the technique makes no difference. For example Der8auer uses a small spatula to spread the paster and it works.
Hi Ben, very nice video, no non sense whatsoever, I don't usually like 20+ mins videos but yours are exceptions, keep up the good work! I'm a bit curious, does this motherboard support quad channel RAM? Cause I've seen other Chinese X79 motherboards do (from TECH YES CITY channel )and some don't
Thanks! Fyi, this motherboard does not support quad channel memory, it will be run in dual channel mode. I believe some compromises are made to keep the board smaller and cheaper.
@@BensTechLab And how about the maximum RAM it can have? 32GB or 64GB? Sorry if I was asking too many question, cause I'm planning on building a system based on this motherboard
@@BangThoyib2 I have 64gb DDR3 ECC 1866Mhz installed on mine. Running windows 10 almost all the drivers just come from windows update. One driver doesn't load automatically and you may need to run intel chipset driver installer. I may do a quick video on this intel chipset driver, so make sure you are subscribed if interested.
@@BensTechLab That 64gb is 16x4 setup? I subscribed on my first view of your vid heheh, I can't wait for your video about those drivers, I hope they work on win7 as well, cause I'm still using it to this day :D
Hey bro i have the same setup can i use non ecc adata ram in this build. I tried but failed. It already came with 4*4 gb ecc ram, if i could use my non ecc ram and ecc ram combined i could get 24 gb ram., can i combine ecc and non ecc ram?
Biggest one is just to help cool that VRM if you can. Covered my experience with a case fan in my latest video: czcams.com/video/87Zoc2VP2lk/video.html and that I have all fans on the CPU fan headers as that is the only one that supports smart fan speed control.
(I've got my sound disabled right now and will watch on another pc in a few minutes) My new x79 JGINYUE mobo is showing 118C - is that real and if so can a fan or duct directed towards the chipset make it safe ? (There's a fan at the bottom of the Rosewill Prism case blowing straight up to the right side of the video card so the chipset should be getting some cool air -??)) The video card is blocking some airflow right at the X79's heatsink - on top of the mess, the BIOS doesn't seem to remember the boot procedure.AH - so those temperatures are the Voltage regulator pass devices ?? -If so, then maybe I could rotate my cpu cooler 90 degrees
Some of these aftermarket motherboards will report an incorrect temperature with a 30 degree offset. So 118 maybe 88 degrees which is still a bit hot. I'd give it a go with case fans or diy heatsinks if you can! What processor are you running? A higher TDP than mine?
@@BensTechLab Ive got an E5-2680 @2.8GHz. Speccy shows a CPU idle temperature of 21C with an Enermax T40F cooler. TMPINs 5-6 and 8 read 118C. Are those VRM rather than the X79 chipset? If the VRM then perhaps I can squeeze in a little fan. The board is a Jginyue X-79 Plus. We're having an awful time with the Apollo setup utility as it always reverts upon re-start to PATA SM instead of finding the M.2
@@karlsonkab51 I'm not familiar with your specific motherboard, but I think your processor is 130w TDP vs mine at 95w. So you will have higher power draw on the VRM and yes the VRM will be the primary heatsource aside from the CPU.
@@BensTechLab Yep - that extra 50% power drain might be too much for the tiny regulator heatsinks. I can try a small fan but that with a CPU like yours may be the safest bet. Thank you very much for your time and help.
@@BensTechLab I think the sensors are way off --at idle I checked the regulator heatsinks with a laser pointer thermometer and a meat thermometer -both were in the high 70s "F" (room around 57F) and ballpark confirmed by a finger. This Rosewill Inwin 101 style case (also marketed as a Sharkoon) is really cool - of course the GPU under load will bake the chipset. The power supply 's intake is right above the VRM heatsink and there's a fan on the floor feeding cool air to and around the GPU past the x79 heatsink. The pc may be good to go. Many thanks.
Theoretically it will work fine! The 2680v2 has a little higher TDP, and so will stress the VRM a little bit more. So you just need to pay more attention to keeping your VRM cool or the motherboard may prematurely fail due to heat or have stability issues. You can use a case fan facing the VRM, a downdraft CPU cooler or add thermal mass to the heatsink (add more aluminum).
O have the same CPUs on a dual 2011 huananzi MB. Same Bios. I was wondering why I wasn't getting full turbo. Man the VRMs are hot and sensors indicate motherboard temps up to 127 degrees Celsius. It has to be a mistake.
Some of the chinese brand MBs have a temperature offset. So when reporting 127 it may actually be 30 lower. That said 97 is still going to kill your MB unusually fast. I suggest improving it a bit so your MB lasts more than 6 months!
Nice vid ben! I'm gonna build the same motherboard and cpu for gaming. Im gonna put 2 front fans,1 above the vrm and 1 in the back. What is the best airflow? Cause the vrm getting pretty hot. Thx mate
Your idea for case fan placement sounds good to me! I just ordered my case yesterday and will test the case fan placement myself when I get it. Stay tuned for a video once my case arrives!
I'd be concerned about the VRM temps too, Just get a decent downdraft air cooler instead of a front to back or up/down cooling solution. Like a Be Quier! Shadow rock LP/Shadow Rock TF 2 or Noctua NH-L12S or Noctua NH-L9x65.
hi.. got a curious question i got one of those x79 mobos.. tested it.. and i got abnormal readings on my mobo/chipset temps CPU was normal, GPU and drives were normal, but the chipset/mobo reading was around 115celcius i used hwinfo, hwmonitor, aida64 and speccy for the temp readings got any encounters like this before? thanks
Some of these chinese motherboards will report incorrect temperatures with +30C. However, I found this Machinist X79G v1.3 version did not over report - however it was hot. In another video on my channel I test a case fan blowing down on VRM with very good results.
@@BensTechLab what i got here is x79g v2.0.. when i got fans on the vrm and chipset heatsinks, they were cool to the touch.. but the readings still stayed up high.
The make and version of the Mobo maker makes a difference in quality of the components used. Tech Yes City, Craft Computing and Philscomputerlab do a good job with giving you an idea what of the chinese made x79 or x99 mobos to consider with Xeon use. From what I have seen Atermiter and Machinist are good..be careful with Huanan brand. Huananzhi is also good, according to Bryan from Tech Yes City. Also, if you are in doubt with the vrm temps on the mobo you are using..use a downdraft air cooler solution instead of front to back or up and down. I'm considering an AliExpress Atermiter x79 bundle with e5-2650 v2 w/16 or 32 gb of ddr3 ecc registered. For a Linux Mint build for daily driver along with VM testing of linux distros in mind.
I am not sure what you are referring to exactly. But, keep in mind the turbo boost is dependent on how many CPU cores are active. For example 1 core load will turbo boost to max, 2 core will boost a little less, 4 core less, etc. Most CPUs have a "Single Core Turbo Boost" spec and then a separate "All Core Turbo Boost" spec which won't be as high.
I don't think so. It is advertised as max 64gb total ram. I have not tried more. I think this is due to size constraint of this smaller motherboard, they could not fit the extra PCB traces to support the full memory capabilities of the E5 processors.
Sure! These used Xeon processors you buy on eBay are usually coming from decommisioned production servers from companies like CloudFlare, Facebook, Amazon, etc. They were all enterprise gear before and when those big companies refresh their servers, the used market gets a load of parts 3-8 years old.
TL;DR;
✅ This motherboard _can achieve_ all-core turbo boost with this🌡 processor.
ℹ VRM cooler can accumulate excess heat under sustained load, case fan a good idea.
🌡 I ran Cinebench 3 times, VRM measured 55°C, 64°C, 70°C after each run.

@@BensTechLab Ive got an E5-2680 @2.8GHz. Speccy shows a CPU idle temperature of 21C with an Enermax T40F cooler. TMPINs 5-6 and 8 read 118C. Are those VRM rather than the X79 chipset? If the VRM then perhaps I can squeeze in a little fan. The board is a Jginyue X-79 Plus.
We're having an awful time with the Apollo setup utility as it always reverts upon re-start to PATA SM instead of finding the M.2
@@karlsonkab51 I'm not familiar with your specific motherboard, but I think your processor is 130w TDP vs mine at 95w. So you will have higher power draw on the VRM and yes the VRM will be the primary heatsource aside from the CPU.
@@BensTechLab Yep - that extra 50% power drain might be too much for the tiny regulator heatsinks. I can try a small fan but that with a CPU like yours may be the safest bet. Thank you very much for your time and help.
@@BensTechLab I think the sensors are way off --at idle I checked the regulator heatsinks with a laser pointer thermometer and a meat thermometer -both were in the high 70s "F" (room around 57F) and ballpark confirmed by a finger. This Rosewill Inwin 101 style case (also marketed as a Sharkoon) is really cool - of course the GPU under load will bake the chipset. The power supply 's intake is right above the VRM heatsink and
there's a fan on the floor feeding cool air to and around the GPU past the x79 heatsink. The pc may be good to go. Many thanks.
Would this board be ok to pair witha E5-2680V2 ?? i found a E5-2680v2 for 70 euro and a 1650v2 for 75
currently i have a E5-2620v1
Theoretically it will work fine! The 2680v2 has a little higher TDP, and so will stress the VRM a little bit more. So you just need to pay more attention to keeping your VRM cool or the motherboard may prematurely fail due to heat or have stability issues. You can use a case fan facing the VRM, a downdraft CPU cooler or add thermal mass to the heatsink (add more aluminum).
O have the same CPUs on a dual 2011 huananzi MB. Same Bios. I was wondering why I wasn't getting full turbo. Man the VRMs are hot and sensors indicate motherboard temps up to 127 degrees Celsius. It has to be a mistake.
Some of the chinese brand MBs have a temperature offset. So when reporting 127 it may actually be 30 lower. That said 97 is still going to kill your MB unusually fast. I suggest improving it a bit so your MB lasts more than 6 months!
Nice vid ben!
I'm gonna build the same motherboard and cpu for gaming.
Im gonna put 2 front fans,1 above the vrm and 1 in the back.
What is the best airflow? Cause the vrm getting pretty hot.
Thx mate
Your idea for case fan placement sounds good to me! I just ordered my case yesterday and will test the case fan placement myself when I get it. Stay tuned for a video once my case arrives!
I'd be concerned about the VRM temps too, Just get a decent downdraft air cooler instead of a front to back or up/down cooling solution. Like a Be Quier! Shadow rock LP/Shadow Rock TF 2 or Noctua NH-L12S or Noctua NH-L9x65.
How much power does this server pull?
hi.. got a curious question
i got one of those x79 mobos.. tested it..
and i got abnormal readings on my mobo/chipset temps
CPU was normal, GPU and drives were normal, but the chipset/mobo reading was around 115celcius
i used hwinfo, hwmonitor, aida64 and speccy for the temp readings
got any encounters like this before?
thanks
Some of these chinese motherboards will report incorrect temperatures with +30C. However, I found this Machinist X79G v1.3 version did not over report - however it was hot. In another video on my channel I test a case fan blowing down on VRM with very good results.
@@BensTechLab what i got here is x79g v2.0.. when i got fans on the vrm and chipset heatsinks, they were cool to the touch.. but the readings still stayed up high.
The make and version of the Mobo maker makes a difference in quality of the components used. Tech Yes City, Craft Computing and Philscomputerlab do a good job with giving you an idea what of the chinese made x79 or x99 mobos to consider with Xeon use. From what I have seen Atermiter and Machinist are good..be careful with Huanan brand. Huananzhi is also good, according to Bryan from Tech Yes City. Also, if you are in doubt with the vrm temps on the mobo you are using..use a downdraft air cooler solution instead of front to back or up and down. I'm considering an AliExpress Atermiter x79 bundle with e5-2650 v2 w/16 or 32 gb of ddr3 ecc registered. For a Linux Mint build for daily driver along with VM testing of linux distros in mind.
were put the tpm But you don't got a TPm for 11
Who notic the nvme ssd was laghtling in 15:50 to 16:00
why does the turbo boost stop at 2.99 and no 3.40?
I am not sure what you are referring to exactly. But, keep in mind the turbo boost is dependent on how many CPU cores are active. For example 1 core load will turbo boost to max, 2 core will boost a little less, 4 core less, etc. Most CPUs have a "Single Core Turbo Boost" spec and then a separate "All Core Turbo Boost" spec which won't be as high.
Hello i want mod Bios for unlocking all core to 3400 and undervolt you can help thanks so mutch Frank from Thailand
nice video ! is better
New video coming soon comparing case fan as intake vs exhaust on this VRM!
eu quero comprar ! e Bom? para jogos
can this board supports 32gbx4 Sticks?
I don't think so. It is advertised as max 64gb total ram. I have not tried more. I think this is due to size constraint of this smaller motherboard, they could not fit the extra PCB traces to support the full memory capabilities of the E5 processors.
@@BensTechLab I have a few 32gb ecc here so im thinking of building one. But im looking for the cheapest board that can support 4x32gb sticks 😄
can it run vmware esxi?
Sure! These used Xeon processors you buy on eBay are usually coming from decommisioned production servers from companies like CloudFlare, Facebook, Amazon, etc. They were all enterprise gear before and when those big companies refresh their servers, the used market gets a load of parts 3-8 years old.
Despite above comment, I personally am using ProxMox.
@@BensTechLab thx
