man these videos are great. You're pretty much the only source of real and thorough information about this xeon motherboards trend. Thank you so much.
Amazing review as always. I made some new purchases, 4 cpus and x99-f8 😅!
Great video. Im hoping to get a dual X99 soon and you are helping to choose the motherboard & cpus!
Finally arrived!!!! Thx for the review man!
Great review, as always. Thanks, friend.
Great review, thank you for the information!
I've got mine of this from taobao for 545 RMB, which was being sold with Zhixin(智芯) brand, model name X99双路 (lit. Dual-road). When it used with turbo boost-unlocked dual E5-2683v3, it throttles a little without additional cooling to the heatsinks, but still works with a single 8-pin power connector. Still, it's great to having a Task Manager filled with 56 threads for this price tag.
BTW, I wouldn't have known about the secondary M.2 slot can be used as an NVMe slot if I don't watch this. Thank you for your great video!
Edit: my bad, it's 8-pin, not 4-pin.
Nice of you to cover dual socket gaming setups and their increased latency. Most expensive hardware task is sharing/synchronization. This somehow is missed by most folks who have never benchmarked single app multi-socket/multi-core.
Most of the performance penalty when it comes to gaming and dual CPU comes from cache, not memory. The Haswell-E platform benefits greatly from the large unified inclusive ringbus cache. It helps games a lot, but when the threads of the game get split across multiple CPUs, they are not in the same L3 cache pool and that is what hits the performance the most. The memory latency to the other CPU is minor detail compared to the fact that you have to look in to memory at all cause the data you were looking for are not in your L3 cache. (this is the same reason why for example Skylake-X, which lacks ringbus and inclusive L3, has lower gaming IPC than old Haswell).
I found out, that locking all the threads to single CPU can improve the performance greatly. Using SW called "process lasso" you can do that automatically, and if you split your resources right, you can game on one CPU and render on the other at the same time without performance loss. What you do not want to do it let windows manage things, they will keep throwing all threads everywhere like hot potato, causing cache trashing and sometimes major performance hits. The onyl scenario where it does not matter is when you have memory-light SW that threads ideally to all cores and the individual threads do not communicate at all, like Cinebench.
ah perfect i need info on this and Sir Miyconst of course please us ;D
Excellent information! Thanks!!!!
You're one of the only youtubers who covers this issue, and the only one doing it so extensively, keep the excelent work man! wich one of the x99 dual cpu motherboards that you have tested whould you recomend buying?
If you are asking about the Chinese motherboards, then I would say that Huananzhi X99-F8D is the best option.
Exelent video. Ty for the information.
Thanks for the review
Thanks you for the information.
Amazing the you give to us. Thank you
completo análisis. voy por los procesadores E5-2678 V3, mas placa madre dual, saludos
Nicely changing his voice in the end of each sentence)) Like robot.
Man, you are great.
Great insights on this motherboard, have been using one of these for the past two months on a rig to test performance of X99 platform. It's sad it does not support quad channel for each cpu, nonetheless it is a great product for the price!!
Is there any big performance hit if this X99 motherboard does not support quad channel memory but only dual channel ? I plan to use an X99 board like this for virtualization (not interested in gaming). Also using dual channel memory architecture will allow to install 32GB x 8 modules to use it at it maximum capacity of 256 GB ?
@@ciobysv23 hi Christian, I do not believe you'll have a huge performance impact for virtualization, but there certainly is some impact. Anyway, it will depend a lot on what kind of workload your virtualized environments are going to execute, if only some web servers or something on this line I think you'll be mostly fine. I would expect bigger hits on memory intensive applications like rendering and even games.
@@MarioMazzotti I plan to use it for building network topologies using virtualization Qemu/KVM and some of them might get big using a lot of RAM. That's why I asked. In this case it better to focus on Huananzhi X99-F8D which seems to support octal channel configurations but the price is higher ?
@@ciobysv23 Actually, I think you may have little benefit on the extra 4 channels with your intended applications. I believe the DU99D4 is already a good fit for your purpose. As far as I know, this kinds of workload are not very memory bandwidth intensive. Maybe someone has a better insight. For me here in Brazil, buying the F8D would yield 40% more money, DU99D4 is already a good fit for my needs. \o
Hey does motherboard got any overclocking settings in bios. I am thinking for a dual Xeon E5 1620 setuf since those CPU's are super cheap and unlocked.
Waat a gold mine of informations, thx a lot :pray-moji:
Thanks for finding the info about the MOSFETs. I think it's interesting how many of these Chinese motherboards use VRM components of wildly varying specifications, often including MOSFETS that (at least "on paper") are much better than the ones used on mainstream motherboards by the biggest manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS. The 110A 2.6mOhm low-side MOSFETs used on this motherboard, for example, should be very good, and (unlike on the Veneida x99 which you recently reviewed) the high-side MOSFETs are also quite good.
I'm still confused and curious about why these chinese manufacturers are using these 100A+ MOSFETs when mainstream motherboards don't go above 80A MOSFETs or 90A Power Stages. Mainstream motherboard VRMs will usually have more phases, or will use 2 low-side MOSFETs per phase, so mainstream motherboard VRMs are usually better overall, but it's interesting to see the different design philosophy between the different markets: Lots of cheap MOSFETs vs a few expensive MOSFETs.
When it comes to the Chinese reasoning, it's always about the $$. Apparently, it's cheaper for them to use high quality / high current MOSFETs with lower number of phases and cheaper VRM cooler in order to support CPUs with high TDP / high number of Cores.
Hi, I just notice and I want to mention that Huananzhi released so far two X99 dual CPU four channels each CPU motherboards, one for DDR3 and the second for DDR4, JINGSHA did exactly the same thing, one of theirs X99 dual CPU motherboards for DDR3 and the second mobo they released is for DDR4, therefore now (without considering dual CPU boards made by ASUS or Gigabyte etc), Aliexpress offer five total X99 dual CPU motherboards, I hope in the future Huananzhi can eventually release theys own version of this ZX-DU99D4, with ALL the RAM slots on the same side of the CPU, thanks Miyconst
Great review. So glad I found your channel, anyways can you review the Alzenit X99-ITX Mobo? I'm just really curious how it will perform. Thanks
It seems like many people are interested in this board. I will buy it for a review. Beware: it's mini-DTX, not mini-ITX.
good review, would you be able to do s comparison of all of the dual x99 motherboards with their strengths and weaknesses?
Maybe in the future, for now I already have too much in my pipeline.
I ended up going with the Aigo shadow max, they fit the CPU really well. Does not interfere with the ram
Thanks for the info! Would you mind sharing a picture of the final assembly?
Hello, how do I enable the two slots m.2, is it in the jumps ?.
There are jumpers on the motherboard.
@@Miyconst same question here. it came with all jumpers in the lower position but pcie M.2 are not working
Edit: got it, putting all of them to the top makes the PCIe NVMe SSDs work.
@@FalconX88 I don't really trust those "benchmarks", since multiple reputable tech CZcamsrs demonstrated that MS Flight Simulator 2020 is not able to utilize multiple CPU cores, using DirectX 11 API it relies on the strong single core performance.
@@FalconX88 how do you do raid 0 on these two m.2 slots just from BIOS?
@@Miyconst i too want to enable hardware raid1 on both m.2 slots. is it possible?
thanks for the videos, they are great and very helpful.
have you tested or do you have an opinion for the MACHINIST X99-D8-MAX? i want to build a dual 2696/99 v3 workstation and the easyest to get for me are ZX-DU99D4 and X99-D8-MAX. memory chanel and expansion slots are not a inssue for me, but i'm worried about power delivery and vrm temperatures
Which cooler did you use?
Is there a Jumper is activate the second M.2 slot? I cant get it to recognize the pcie nvme drive in there. It only works in the first slot.
Yes, put all on 1-2 pins
A quick update for the video on what this configuration is suitable for or isn't good for!
I don't recommend using it for music production because Daws and vast plugins usually use single-core performance, not multicore.
Unfortunately, the Xeon CPU compared to mutch recent CPUs doesn't really go high on frequency so you will be quickly limited If you use the lastest version of Daw and big plugins like the Arturia v collection.
That's very true. Music production needs strong single core performance and extra cores are just useless.
Great review and thank you. Will this be added to the Mi899 tool? This is the only motherboard I could get shipped to me.
Yes, the motherboard will probably be added to Mi899, but I can't guarantee when.
unlock turbo-boost a the ZX-DU99D4 V1.11 ?
Another great video. Can you please review and link to some china cpu coolers.
Thanks for the support, I will consider taking a look at the Chinese CPU coolers.
Can the V3x4 driver be inserted into the BIOS or does it have to be loaded each boot? I need a board where Turbo Unlock is always on, regardless of OS etc
There drivers can also be injected into the BIOS, but only in the FFS form. EFI drivers should be installed on the OS level.
good morning i'm very short your channel here in brazil i bought that same card i can't use the unlock turbo booster you know why?
Can I have a question? Does the board work with 2 CPU's when using non-registered standard uDIMM memory? I know a lot of branded dual CPU boards can run single CPU with udimm, but require RDIMM when you want to run a couple. Is this the same on those Chinese boards? It would be good if we could use udimm with dual CPU, as I have tons of them laying around unused ATM.
This board works well with two CPUs and UDIMMs.
So I got my ZX-DU99D4 a few days ago. The BIOS date is from december 2020, so I guess it‘s newer than the one on the board reviewed here. It does support power on after power loss and „last state“. It also supports PCIe bifurcation, at least it says so in the BIOS (I have no card to test it). It is indeed picky with RAM. I had to try several RAM sticks before some worked. Otherwise it works just fine. The two E5-2680 v3 will turbo to 3GHz out of the box.
Oh, and at least with Windows Server 2019 USB3.0 works without additional drivers. Did you by chance use an old Windows installation made with another board to test it? I did that, and USB3.0 didn‘t work as expected, but after a fresh installation it did.
what ram did you use to get the board to work?
@@markbale7002 It didn't like any of the 8Gb sticks I had (all non-ECC), but any 16Gb sticks worked so far, ECC and non-ECC. Didn't have any 4Gb sticks...
@@jensdroessler3575 hmm, might have to try 16gb sticks. I only have non eec 8gb sticks
Great video! So which cpu fans and adapters do you use on on this video?
ditto
I have used Inter-Tech H Argus Su 200 www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07BRDFCM9 CPU cooler with screws from the black brackets. The cooler does not include LGA 2011-3 compatible screws.
Does VT-D work and how are the iommu-groups?
Thank you for the video. I installed this very mother board, and when filling all orange ram slts gives 32gb dual channel. But when you populate all orange and black slots it shows 64gb and quad channel.not dual. But thank you for an excellent review.
How do you check the RAM configuration? CPU-Z lies about it.
How to set the jumpers to use both nmve m2?
Hello friend, I just didn't understand something right, did you make the turbo bost work to the maximum but not in the conventional way? Keep it up with the channel I'm loving it, a hug from a Brazilian fan
Turbo boost unlock worked with manual EFI driver installation, but not with FFS driver injected into the BIOS.
@@Miyconst Thanks. Have a video with manual installation of the EFI driver
You will find all required information on my page: www.miyconst.com/Blog/View/2081/xeon-e5-2600-v3-turbo-boost-unlock
Hello, great video, I have that motherboard !
is it possible to pin certain cores from only one CPU to a gaming task in a dual CPU config to neglect the latency occuring from such a setup ?
You can try using an app called process lasso.
I've got ZX-MINX9D3 V1.2 using e5-2678v3 with DDR3 ram, it's not posting. Any possible troubleshooting/tweaking that I can do to make it post?
Replace the motherboard with something at least semi-decent.
Hi, whats the Cpu Coolers Named?
Hello, nice review
Does this board supprt the xeon e5 16xx series?
I mean just use 1 cpu
I have not tested it myself, but it should.
Which cpu cooler is this and what type of brackets are please let me know.
Hi! very detailed review! AWESOME! but can this board do crossfire?
Most likely yes, but I didn't validate it.
Hey. Thanks a lot for the review. It has already helped me a bit. I have one question. When I use both M.2 slots, only one M.2 SSD is recognized. Both SSDs are identical. Is there a limitation of the Sata ports somewhere or do I have to change a jumper so that both M.2 SSD's are recognized? (2x nvme SSD). Thank you
As far as I remember this motherboard had one NVMe M.2 port and one SATA, thus it's not possible to use two NVMe at the same time.
@@Miyconst thank you 😊
Thank you for your wonderful video. What do I need to activate in Bios to use the wol function?
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is wol function?
@@Miyconst It is to turn on the computer with a LAN port. (work on lan)
Hi, you are explayning in this video how (for this motherboard) each PCIEx1, PCIEx16 and M.2 slots are connected to the first CPU or second CPU or connected to the chipset, in case the manufacturer have connected by design the second CPU to the second (lower) PCIEx16 slot, is a way for me at home to modify and connect Both PCIEx16 slots to the first CPU?, . I ask you this because my Huananzhi X79-8D seems to have the second PCIEx16 slot connected to the second CPU and I want both PCIEx16 slots connected to the first CPU,, thank you for the answer
There is no way you can change the motherboard layout yourself. You would have to physically change a bunch of wires inside the motherboard to change the PCI-E slot connection.
Great review. how long does it take to boot? ie how long for the windows desktop to appear? thank you
I didn't measure the time, but it's rather long.
Im planing on building a workstation for me and my brother in a dual x99, do you know if this mobo have intel VT-D on the bios? And if it supports IOMMU
Sorry I can't answer the question with 100% certainty. The BIOS has settings for Intel VT-D, but whether it works or not - I didn't test. IOMMU - I didn't find any settings, but if you tell me what to look for, I can check it again.
I am trying to mix micron 16gb ram with Hynix 2*8gb. If I mix, pc dont start. But I can use them separately. Any idea what to do?
The idea is simple: don't mix different memory into one system.
Hi thanks for this video! I have two of these motherboards and they work really well, I just wanted to add that they do support e5 v4 engineering sample cpus which is really rare. I've reviewed the 49$ e5 2630 v4 engineering sample on my channel thanks to this board if anyone is interested
Did you test the ES CPUs in dual or single CPU configuration?
@@Miyconst I tested it in single configuration as I had only one
@@hardthur3339 Thanks for the info. Another guy says that dual V4 setup does not work out of the box on this motherboard, but it works with usage of Huananzhi X99-F8D BIOS. The BIOS though is not fully compatible with ZX-DU99D4 V1.11.
Hello, you know how to enable the pci in the bios? My pci dont detect any pcix1 card
Hi. The issue has nothing to do with the BIOS, but most likely related to a motherboard defect.
do you know if these dual socket x99 boards from china often support sli?
I know that most of them don't support SLI.
@Miyconst great video. Do you happen to know if there is a document for this board which describes the pin of the connectors. In intrested in connecting the front panel to the board (like hdd, reset, power etc.).
I do happen to know. There is no such manual.
For the front buttons/LEDs pinout you can use the stand layout, it's available online.
I'm really late but I was asking me the same question not too long ago. The diagram is printed on the motherboard directly. It's not directly beside the connectors but it's there.
Hi, @Miyconst, I bought the dual cpu x99 from your aliexpress link, I tried to flush the bios and I think I failed. Now my computer always shows blank screen not responding at all, Do you know how to recover the bios? Thanks.
I am sorry to hear that your BIOS flash didn't really work as it should. Here I have summarized everything you would need to know about BIOS restoration: www.miyconst.com/Blog/View/2086/ch341a-minimal-usage-guide-how-to-read-and-write-a-motherboard-bios
PLZ HELP ME, I have two xeon 2686 V4 and its not working together, any clue what is happening? When I use only one works fine
Have you ever tested these CPUs together on another motherboard? Are these CPUs final version or engineering sample? Are the two CPUs have identical revision and stepping?
Hi, great review. I found this after I ordered the motherboard and it arrived without a manual. Can you post a pin diagram for the front panel buttons, or a link to the manual? Thanks, Jon
This motherboard does not have a manual, but the font panel pinout is the same as on any other motherboard. You can find it in Google, I can't post links here, CZcams deletes comments.
this board is great
I disagree.
Dong buy the black orange ones... Especially the ones with like 4 slots on the top and 4 slots on the right bottom had one it died instantly as soon as i set it up. Got a new one as it was broken and the new one worked but after using 256gb or ram 2 slots died then after a few weeks anothr died and i was stuck with 150 or so gigs when i need the full 256gigs and then it completely failed over the span of like 3 months... only buy the black ones that got the reinforcements on them only ones i trust.
Thanks for the review and comparisons.
How will this dual socket board (running single CPU only) compare to a similar single-socket board with the same 2678V3 CPU?
Please add some more Linux based workstation use tests to show that it can be used for things like low-cost software build server with many processing threads.
Maybe try to build a clean android software image compilation, in the past people were compiling kernel image but nowadays Linux kernel will compile in minutes (as was seen when Linus from LTT made a computer build for Linus Torvalds use case)
These days most of the stores are not able to deliver to india so havent been able to buy anything
Maybe in the future I will do some more Linux based content, but so far I have no such plans. Thank you for the suggestion and the support either way.
There is no performance difference between running single CPU on single board and single CPU on dual CPU capable board. The only difference would be the memory channels, but from my experience, LGA2011-3 CPU s are usually not memory bottlenecked and the difference between dual and quad is minimal in real-world scenarios.
Hi, I have this motherboard but it's working just one processor, do you think that some special configuration is necessary to make the motherboard work with two processors? Jumpers? bios? any idea?
You need two identical CPUs, two 8-pin CPU power connectors, and RAM for both CPUs, that's it, it shall just work.
Yes, that could be a problem, but it may also be something else.
Good one, do you know if flashing this board with the huananzhi f8 BIOS is safe?, What about the CX99DE25 BIOS from iengenieer for huananzhi-f8?, Looks very interesting. Thanks

Hi. I am not sure how I can help, I don't have the motherboard and don't have the CPUs. Most likely the motherboard BIOS is not working properly, so the dual V4 Xeons refuse to work together, you need to talk to the seller.
Hello there, nice review video. I own this motherboard ZX-DU99D4 V1.12, I am testing proxmox but I could not find where I can enable IOMMU, is it possible to enable on this motherboard? If yes hope you can spare sometime show me how to do that.
Sorry, I don't think I can help you with IOMMU groups.
I still don't get where I should place the RAM if I have 2x 32GB DDR4 RAM. Do I place 1 in the 4 slots on one side of the CPUs and the other on the other side? Or should I just place both of them on one side of the CPUs by skipping a slot?
Definitely put one on either side of the cpus, so long as you are running 2 cpus. The 2 banks of memory slots are for each cpu separately, and only one can access its own side, so you wouldn't want to leave one of your processors without memory.
So what is the solution for auto power on? Any idia

Hi...
Need your help.
I recently purchased X99 motherboard Version
V1.31 Where can i find the motherboard drivers for v1. 31
All drivers from these board are plug and play.
not having restart on power loss is a big issue. any suggestions how to get that to work?
Some of these motherboards have a jumper, if you shorten it the motherboard starts automatically.
Where did you find manuals for this x99 motherboards?
I didn't. These manuals don't exist.
can u test dual cpu vs single cpu in gameing?
Hi Miyconst.. At the the board it is working only with 8 gb module.. Now waiting for 2x16GB modules to install on it.
Whats your recomended Case for this board?
Thanks for all and continue with your great work in your channel !!!
I like the Define XL chassis from Fractal Design, but it's an expensive and bulky unit, thus you can find whatever you like which fits E-ATX motherboards.
Good Morning, Can you share driver for USB 3.0 for this motherboard. My front USB 3.0 port is not working.
The driver will not help here, it's a hardware failure, but you can try to install all optional Windows updates.
Miyconst, do you recommend to flash the ZX-DU99D4 with the huananzhi x99-f8d bios for dual CPU not being recognized? I am having issues to make dual e5-2680 v4 to run on the ZX-DU99D4. One CPU works ok, but when I put two cpu, it gives the error code 79 and does not boot. 2 x e5-2680v4, 4 x 8GB Samsung 2Rx8 non ecc memory installed on the orange slots. If one CPU and 4 memory sticks in the cpu 1 works ok recognizing all 32GB.
I can't recommend that, since it's not guaranteed to work either, but if you have an external USB flash programmer and not afraid of bricking the motherboard, then you should definitely try it.

Hello friend, how are you, I have this modern boart mainboard ZX-DU99D4 V1.11, I would like to ask a question, I have installed two Ddr4 8gb ram memory modules, 2400 MHz altermiter brand, these days I wanted to expand the memory with two other ram memory modules. The problem is that I didn't have the same reference and I bought some Jazer Ddr4 8GB at 2660 MHz. I put both references together but it doesn't turn on and I get error 60 (DXE CORE is started) and it doesn't turn on, when I put them alone they work fine but when I combine them they throw the error, my specific question is, are the rams being of a different brand and frequency are they incompatible?
Thank you very much in advance and I await your response
Yes, according to your description your two memory kits are not compatible with each other.
Thank you very much for your answer
I have this board, I can´t activate the nvme Cards. how i can find A manual how to setup the bios??
There is no manual for this motherboard and the BIOS has nothing to do with NVMe. There are jumpers on the motherboard, which you might need to flip.
Hi, do know where can I enable the Wake On Lan feature in the BIOS ? I don't find that option.
I don't think this motherboard supports wake on lan.
@@MiyconstOn my Bios it does, it support RTC Wakeup too
My setup keeps crashing because of the ram I think. I have used M393a4k40cb1-crc (ECC, Registered, RDIMM 32GB 2400MHz). Any suggestions?
Run Memtest86 and validate the memory.
@Miyconst Do you know if this board can work with a single Xeon E5 in the primary CPU slot, and have the secondary slot empty? Most brand name Server/workstation boards from Asus, Gigabyte, etc can do this. Your gaming benchmarks make it look like you have one CPU installed.
can you confirm please?
thanks
Yes, the motherboard works with just one CPU installed but not every PCI-E slot is available in that case.
@@Miyconst Thank you for clearing that up, I figured it would. I'm assuming the top PCI-E 16x lane works with CPU 1 socket?
Hi who is better if compare huananzi x99f4d?
Did you mean Huananzhi X99-F8D? In this case Huananzhi is significantly better.
Dear @Miyconst I have a PCIe M2 ssd connected and running in the first M.2 Slot (Pcie 2.0) but I'm trying to add a second PCIe M2 ssd to the second M.2 Slot with failure results (Bios doesn't list the disck). I know the new ssd disk is running because if I connect on the first slot the bios show me the disk. I'm using two cpu... can It be the reason? THanks!
No, two CPUs can't be the reason of this problem. It could be a compatibility issue or something similar. What is your SSD?
@@Miyconst PNY XLR8 CS3030 is one, and the other is Kingston A2000 (SA2000M8/500G). Both of them work in the first slot, but neither in the second slot :(
@@Mario.D the other slot might be turned into the SATA mode, check the jumpers on the motherboard.
@@Miyconst You are the F boss. Correct and working! THANK YOU AGAIN.
@Miyconst
Have you tested with 2 GPU cards?
My setup does not work well with RTX 2080 and RT 580. I installed RTX 2080 in the 1st PCI 16x and the RT 580 in the 2nd PCI 16x, this is the only configuration that I can test because of the boards dimensions.
What would you recommend to try?
Thanks!
Can you please describe what you mean by "does not work well"?

Here are the symptoms of the ZX-DU99D4 V1.11:
- configuration #1: RTX 2080 = 1st PCI x16, RT 580 = 2nd PCI x16
- if both cards powered only RT 580 will output video signal at bios stage, but booting the Ubuntu will get only prompt
- if only RT580 powered then no problems with video output
- configuration #2: RT 580 = 1st PCI x16, RTX 2080= 2nd PCI x16 (I removed the USB3 header to make room for this longer board)
- if both cards powered only RTX 2080 will output video signal at bios stage, but booting the Ubuntu will get only prompt
- if only RTX 2080 powered then there will be video output, but only vga (low) resolution
- configuration #3: RT 580 = 1st PCI x16
- no problem
- configuration #4: RT 580 = 2nd PCI x16
- no problem
- configuration #5: RTX 2080 = 1st PCI x16
- reduced resolution on Ubuntu (could be a driver problem)
- configuration #6: RTX 2080 = 2nd PCI x16
- reduced resolution on Ubuntu (could be a driver problem)
I tried these GPU's on a different (mono) x99 system (board name is ZX-99EV3_V1.23, when I purchased was under Machinist brand) and both cards provided expected resolution (matching the monitor higher resolution).
The successful configuration: RT 580 = 1st PCI x16, RTX 2080= 2nd PCI x16, but I didn't checked the other possibility (also this mono x99 board has only 2 PCI x16).
For both systems I used a 850W PSU.
It seems to me that having 2 GPU's the system is not behaving as expected. It could be the board design, it could be my mobo that I am using, could be that I need more power for the PSU.
I wonder if you already test dual GPU configuration on this ZX-DU99D4, or what do you think about this problem.
Thanks!
@@DanielAStroe it sounds like a driver issue. Having an AMD + Nvidia GPU in one system is a mess in general. With almost every Chinese X99 board I have experienced that if I install two GPUs, the motherboard will pick a "main" GPU, and the BIOS output will be sent there, no matter where the monitor is connected. So, this is pretty much in line with what you are experiencing. Linux video drivers are not the best, and when mixing different GPUs I would expect all sorts of issues. I would install Windows with latest AMD / Nvidia drivers to see if both of the GPUs are working properly and recognized. If the GPUs work well under Windows - then it's Linux drivers to blame, if the GPUs refuse to work under Windows - then it could be the motherboard/BIOS to blame.

Thanks a lot!
Your input helped, I am facing an accumulation of constraints and issues.
I could use a windows install that use both cards, which validates that hw system is still viable.
I realized that on ubuntu I have problems with previously installed amd drivers. I have an alternate ubuntu image (which doesn't have amd drivers) and the main gpu (nvidia) was able to display high resolution out of the box (open source drivers).
Now I have to figure out how to manage ubuntu drivers ...
Hi my friend. I recently bought this motherboard with one e5-2678 processor. 2x 8gb ecc ram and i have a nvidia rtx 2060 super as graphic card. When i turn on, it doesnt start the bios. There no warning beeps, nothing. Do you have any idea what i need to do start the cpu ? Thank you.
Hi. You have specified too little information about the issue, I can't help with it like this.
@@Miyconst hi my friend. Sorry about that, still learning all the specification. I got an article about this motherboard and processors and i found what went wrong. I only plugged one atx cpu cable. The bios only start if you pkug both power cables. As soon i did, the cpu started..
Good afternoon! I bought a ZX-DU99D4 V1.31 dual cpu. And it is showing error 79. What could it be?
The 79 error code usually comes up when the motherboard is not happy with the RAM. You can find list of known post codes on my blog website.
@@Miyconst Show Muito obrigado !
make a video of how to do the turbo boost hack to these 2 cpu boards more detailed? cool videos you make!
If I get a dual socket motherboard with two CPUs, I will try to make a better guide.
