Dude, I have been building PCs for 29 yrs and my main rig is a Ryzen 5950X 16/32 w/64 gigs and I'm all about what you're doing here, keep it up.

50 mins of pure joy this video

montei um x99 ano passado com um cpu 2667v4 32gb ddr3 quand chanel ram rx5700xt8gb ssd gen 3 nvme e não acreditei no desempenho ... eu montei esse setup pra emular wiiu em 1080p 75fps e consegui com folga ... lembro que paguei uma quantia bem baixa nele (em comparação as plataformas atuais) e o desempenho que me ofereceu valeu muito a pena. eu sei que hardware moderno ganha mais engajamento e atenção do publico mas no muitas pessoas também se beneficiam desse conteudo mais "custo beneficio" . grato por existir canais assim e poder ter um setup util e com o preço justo graças a canais como esses .

x99 longevity has been wild - it's amazing how much multi threaded performance you can still get for super cheap.

Waiting for the day thread ripper appears on AliExpress.

Excellent video! FYI, they started tapering the signal end of RAM terminals on DDR4. DDR5 has the taper as well.

I liked this video, I am considering getting one of these platforms for myself as well. Good information, Thanks! FYI Your Mic is glitching on the right channel, I thought it was my computer until I replayed the video and found it was to do with your audio track. It was kinda annoying, You may need to switch it to Mono for the Mic or you may need to replace it. Cheers!

Another Dual "X99" user: 2*2690v4+64gb 2400 (max supported speed on this Xeons V4) and AMD RX590 - Run flawes

I got one but I installed Linx mint on it all works great. I am using it for some video editing but mostly graphics design that make up animated movies. What was taking me on average 9 hours, now takes me 3 hours, for a 20m short animation. I fitted it with 2x AIOs I had to make my own brackets out of sheet aluminium to fit them but no problems. I have it set up in my old Cooler master X1 Server case from 2012 they are massive I needed that because it already has my 1200w APU fitted and an 8 bay HDD caribe each having 2Tb storage space all holding files from past jobs and uncompleted jobs I'm still working on. I'm happy with it its much faster than my older setup.

The V4 cpus run very cool. The v3 can be overclock with turbo unlock but not much faster. I have one 2680v4 that runs as fast as the 2697v3 that is turbo unlocked at 3.6ghz on multicore. The v4 chips runs ram at 2400 mhz while the v3 chip is locked at 2133. The 40mb L3 cache on the v4 is very useful in apps using few chores. Great server / workstation board. I think these dual boards lower the ram to 2133 when 4 modules are populated.

Seems like a fun build! :D

high quality video, keep it up

OK time to order a X99 combo set for my editing rig . grate video

At least I am not alone in forgetting to bend the tabs.

i have the same board. both m.2 slots support nvme. gotta change the jumpers to swap the top one from sata to pcie

Beautiful assembly so smooth, in the no name chinese case hehe, grettings.

I used to have an X99 system like this waaaay back.

very interesting. i am always wondering if we can arrange the cpu fans facing to the side, so the second one wont suck the hot air from the first one.

I got my board a few months ago, and ran into the first issue: not all m.2 ssds work. Also I got bigger coolers to push more air, since the board itself needs ventilation too it seems. Its really hot overall. Not only cpus. As a case I got the bequiet 802.

The side shaved RAM might be for easier insertion in two stages.

You could use small coolers. Those CPU models are power efficient, so do not get as hot as you obviously thought they would. But if you got the whole thing as a kit.... Then you saved some significant coin. I'm just curious how much you will get billed by customs a month later. I've gotten stuff from AliExpress before, and then get a surprise customs charge a month after delivery. But haven't ever spent more than 30 USD, so I think max I've seen was about 4 USD.

Wait for this bro, ALL DDR4 has a curved edge. Also as far as the ATX-12v CPU power connectors are concerned you could have ran one 4 pin to each connector and been fine provided the CPUs didn't use 175-200w per chip all the time, once in a while would be fine for even that though.

Nice video about the "x99" dual xeon aliexpress mainboards. I am going to build a proxmox homeserver with a similiar x99 aliexpress board. cheaper with the same power (like 56+ threads, 64 oder 128 ram) is almost impossible.

VERY neat build! I like it! Would be great to test some more games on it! :D What about CS2? :D

The edge of the memory is not shaved, some server ram has that style such as some hynix modules. Also these chinese branda take those used modules, slap on their thin metal heat spreaders so as to make them sellable as new.

wheeeeeeew that baby rips

Very fun and optimistic. You may find that a R5 3600 for $65 on Ebay will outperform this old multi core tech. You might run some comparable benchmarks though.

just a heads up the shaved down ram is common on oem modules such as micron samsung sk hynix while corsair is straight alot of ddr4 sticks are shaved like that thi

13:45 - They're not "shaved", they're actually tapered. I have a kit of 64gb (16 x 4 dimms) DDR4 and they've got the same tapered ends. I think it's made on purpose for insertion into their sockets. All in all, this board is not too shabby for the price it comes. The only drawback is the Gigabit ethernet, but it depends on what you are going to do with the system. The bios isn't bad also, considering it's a chinese board. I saw a video of a similar system which mounted a 2060 I believe, and under stress it was barely pulling some 300ish watts.

It will be interesting to put a modern desktop cpu against these old things since a few of the new Ryzens from AMD have now reached the speeds in blender, cinebench as first gen Threadrippers, also I remember GN testing one of these X99 boards three years ago (Titled: 24 Cores, 48 Threads for $360: Dual-X99 Jingsha Motherboard vs. AMD R9 3900X) they even got an official evga x99 board to see how the Ali board was different in speed and it was pretty much the same just custom bios to get the hardware to work since those boards use components scraped from ewaste and the end result after blender, cinebench and adobe premier was they just could not recommend it as a viable system since modern cpu's do a better job.

This is typical server board bios. The memory info is under submenus. It's laid out more how they are connected. So memory should be under cpu.

what is the power draw of the system on idle and on usual/sress usage?

That'd be a nice virtualization box for proxmox/vmware. :> Also.. Geekbench it!

Keep an eye on the VRM temps. I like X99 stuff, its all cheap fun now. Its not the fastest, and its single thread speed is gonna hurt. Def fun 2nd boxes!

Honestly after seeing this I think I am going to build one of these to replace my Gen2 I7 build that I've been running since ... -_- ... yeah gen2 ... Prior to that I had a dual Pentium 3 setup (i think) which I used for over a decade and it honestly out performed all of the P4 series computers simply because dual processor PC's tend to be absolute monsters when it comes to anything number crunchy. All I have to do is find a somewhat good graphics card to put in this .. hmmm

I have never seen memory "shaved" like that... so yeah, odd .... Still watching and waiting to see if it boots, what a way to keep my attention that is! 😂

hey uhh, is it safe to use molex to 8pin or pci-e to 8pin to powerup second cpu? Cuz my psu has only one 8pin cpu

How much watts this system takes when idle? (on windows desktop, lets say)

Cooper needs an LTT Screw driver lol watching that cheap hardware store driver slip when he's tightening the screws lol.

Hi Mr Coopertom? Are you using it as a DAW? How is your conclusion about this dual Xeon processing audio in real time? Thanks in advance.

do you still have the actual link you buy motherboard with Xeon chip from Aliexpress? Thanks

For gaming or anything single core , this is no Bueno. Also only makes use of dual channel memory. Takes a lot of bios setting changes to get just right, jumper settings for 2nd nvme to work. In hindsight I should have built one with a machinist board instead but didn't have any documentation

Sir can we disable one because while gaming dual cpu causes problems

Is it still working? How’s electricity usage? Thanks

please post more vr chat videos, i love those

I feel like building one just for the fun of it

wow, with this I can open 20 bluestacks instances

is this still working fine ? pls upload new video about this built

I got a pair of 2683 v4 and so i thought the same board got code 79 and only can get one cpu to work?? Both cpus tested and work. I think i need a bios update but where to find ???

HELL YEA, CHINESIUM BUILD

Good afternoon! I bought a ZX-DU99D4 V1.31 dual cpu. And it is showing error 79. What could it be?

hi i was wondering how much power does your system draw from the wall on idle without a gpu just iding 5-10% usage

Only need the two power connectors next to each other - the far one makes no difference

How has the performance been, can you please kindly share. 🙏🏿👌🏿 I'm finding it difficult to make a decision on which dual motherboard I should go for.

V3 xeons are better than V4's. You can use simple hack to remove micro code and enable all-core turbo to get tons of extra performance. I have two X99 builds. Love them to death. The only issue is that it's all about luck what you receive when you oder from Aliexpress. I bought two 2698 V3's and one of them was faulty and caused crashing when the power usage was closing the TDP value.

u could get an AMD 5950X & B550/X570 board & real 3600Mhz DDR4 that blow these 28cores outta the water & off the race track

also i have a similar board could you test if it works with 1 cpu?

"I am using 2630 v3 in X99 and it is working fine, but 1650 v3 2x is not working. It shows 'CPU not present'."

Can u use non ecc on that motherboard?

The only thing that concerns me about these is durability.

these dont do Quad chnnel my X99 class china board has 2 dimms on both sides of both cpu sockets.... so quad channel aka 1dpc

Anyone who is lookimg for coolers, even tho it is marketed x99 it is not. It is lga 2011-3 make sure ur coolers support this socket

DDR4 is that way... all DDR4 has the outter pins lower and inners are longer. signaling

thats completely normal man ddr4 ram all looks like that

Been in IT for 27 years and below I'm going to list everything you did wrong... 1: You didn't put the thermal paste on in an anarchy shape. 2: You didn't color match the cable extensions with the orange and black theme. 3: Not only did you not bend the LAN port but you put the I/O plate in before the motherboard. Everyone knows you install the MB then take it back out to install the I/O plate. 4: You failed to bore us with the Windows 10 installation. On a more serious note, try Davinci Resolve, the free one for video editing. Also, find a GPU with the NVENC capabilities. I think your GTX 980 does have it but not 100% certain. Davinci Resolve uses the H.264 encoding support to help render videos using the NVENC chip built into the GPU. This allows you to be able to utilize the GPU for other things while rendering a video. Granted, my RTX 3070 out performs my old GTX 1070 and my laptops RTX 2070 super, it's not leaps and bounds anymore like you witnessed between the CPU upgrades. As for the DDR4 with the tapered ends. That's on all DDR4 RAM.

god way too much thermal grease dude yikes. that's not a "Pea size" that's a third of the syringe lol.

Arse Game! Lol!

Arsegame 🤣😂🤣

I don't want a Chinese government motherboard

i would not buy china named SSDs... there can be fake... id stick with brand name Gen3 x4 NVMe ssds,,,, everything else fine.. but no the ssds,,
