So interesting that companies are making new motherboards with these older sockets. Goes to show how good of a value these old xeons are.

Wow, I've heard about this platform from some russian techno youtubers but, I swear to god, I didn't expect results like this... It's just unbelievable and extremely cheap! Thanks for your videos Phil!

Thanks very much for these videos Phil!

Just been testing mine this week Phil very happy with it .

For a second I thought this was a Micro STX board from the thumbnail, but no Mini DTX. Cool, thank you for the info.

Really love your videos, you have got me totally hooked on the used market! Can't wait for the overclocking video.

Really loving this series. Thank you for the content.

Looking forward to the next video 🙂👍

Yet another excellent video. Thanks for your time and insight!

Oh no, another VERY GOOD video, this is wonderful.

Thanks Phil, great quality in your videos as always.

Thanks Dr Phil.

idk why don't have more subs than now, for me u are doing good and ur videos aren't boring and u take time to watch comments

I really enjoy this new series Phil! It is fantastic and super helpful, keep up the awesome work! :)

Great video, love using your videos for build ideas!

This a good way to go for a budget build! for a little bit more one can look into 'R5 1600(6C/12T) + GB B450 Aorus M MB + 2x8GB 3000MHz Ram' combo. got those those for $217 last month and could not be happier. With Ryzen 3rd gen announced, 1st get R5s are a steal these days!

You can get cheap VRM coolers off aliexpress, they're a bit hard to find however. I believe if you search using keywords such as MOSFET cooling and similar keywords

Great combo as always

Thank you! This Mobo looks good!

Super glad to see you trying an unlocked processor

Great videos! i recently became a fan and i love the videos, very informative! keep the good work! greetings from Argentina :D

I just love these videos. I happen to have bunch of older 2011 and 13something6 CPUs (not sure if it's 1356 or 1366) so I am definitely going to find them and then get a motherboard based on your recommendations.

Thanks Phil for the comprehensive video. Superb as usual 😄

I'm onboard Phil! I just replaced my HP Z600 with dual X5675s for a Supermicro X9DAL motherboard based system with dual e5 2470s to give me a super cheap 16 core 32 thread workstation, Getting around 1900 in cinebench r15

I've heard about this platform before, thanks to Bryan from Tech YES City, but now I have more information about it, thank you! You earned yourself a new subscriber!

I have a Ryzen workstation and a MSI laptop but I like these value build videos, especially with the twist you give them. I'll never forget where I came from, gaming on an Atom 2 in 1 tablet/notebook, playing classic DOS games. Those games have more soul than most of these games that come out now so I may be looking to revisit them soon. Cheers from USA.

thank you for sharing this valuable information, keep it up with these great hardware videos, greetings from Chile

Good work phil!!

As always, superb work man

Great great job.

Yet another excellent video! This board and processor are obviously more suited to gaming, but I bet it could handle office/professional work well too

32gb is so cool. You linked the ram modules right. And Wewt Battlefield 1 I happy for you. Seems everyone wants these videos. Squeezing the dollar is so much fun. I have tons of fancy hardware and i dont use it much. Save it for customers.

Looks like a great start for a budget server or NAS.

Excellent!

Great Video. Keep up the good work.

Ever since switching my R3E over to an x5680, I'm a huge fan of running the older Xeons. You just can't beat the price, and there's plenty of performance there to be had.

Great Vid man, Looking forward to the LGA2011 video!

Loving these vids!!! Keep em coming 😁😁😁

Looks like there are mounting holes for the VRM. Only if one can mill out and attached a simple heatsink.

Liked the video, just wanted to comment on how TDP is a rating of thermal output for CPUs, not power consumption. TDP can be close to the power consumption of the part, but not always.

Great video

Woah, It's Friday again. As always good content. Yeah you have a point to switch to lga 2011 if we want to get the 8c/16t for low cost.

PhilsComputerLab, what budget set for today you propose for plex/nas multimedia server?

you can get dual sided thermal tape and then and fitful heatsink for those mosfets, it's not too hard to get these randomly together

Keep it up mate

I love your contents. Sub from the Philippines.

I went down the opteron rabbit hole recently. Dual opteron 6328 actually pretty happy with it

You might try some of those small heatsinks with 3m thermal tape you can get off ebay. I bought some for a 760g motherboard vrm and it worked pretty well. Just make sure it is legitimate 3m thermal tape will typically be cheaper with the tape pre applied.

Another great video mate!

Nice to see this motherboard reviewed as it is in my wishlist , waiting to be ordered I wonder if there is and m.2 nvme to m.2 Sata or Sata 3 adapter (I mean pcie ssd are more expensive and not full speed so)

Really good stuff man. Keep it coming. +1

This is the best reviews on KZfaq for this motherboard! Congratulations! Thanks for taking the time to test the E5-2470 too. Only a little catch, as in the description you give direct product links for some items but for others you provided a search result instead and IDK if it's only an issue with my phone or AliExpress app but search results give me an empty page... If you could kindly provide direct product links for all the CPUs it would be greatly appreciated! Also, do you know of there is any store with "cheap" DHL shipping cost (relative to each other)? Best regards!

Great to see games using multi core well! I sold my old Dell T7500 with x5670 6C12T which looks similar isngle core performance to this. I got an E5 1620 instead as has higher single core performance but 'only' 4C8T. Interesting stuff!

But....I love your channel and your presentation to much to not give these guys a chance someday in the future...Love the content and an excellent job on presentation!

love you videos!

Nice! I'm thinking about MB lga 2011 with OC, I want learn how to make scalp also. Cheap stuff so no worries :D

Theres great flagship mobos for not very much, but its kidan hard to find those deals. Great video! that cpu is super good for the price

Great video! :D

Another great video, Phil! So informative. Im just about to build a Ryzen 5 2600 system with my rx480. I would like to look into a x79/x58 system. Just to see how it performs against a midrange system of today.

I'd say this motherboard is far below the socket 2011 motherboards you've reviewed in terms of quality. I'd pay the extra $20-30 for either of the LGA2011 boards if I want to get on the budget Xeon bandwagon.

Crazy to think you can get something almost as fast as my computer now for so cheap. My e5-1650-v2, ga-x79-ud3, 16gb ram(4x4), and 980 ti hybrid aren't to much ahead of this computer.

i like your content keep it up!

If it's just a standard directory on the system that's locked, NTFS Access might be able to unlock it for you as well as every directory on the hard drive if you just select the entire drive. That's what I used to access things in Windows 7 but never tried on something downloaded from the Microsoft store on Windows 10.

To access windows app files you need to change the setting which hides the folders then the edit and view permissions to your account.

@ 12:45 , use enzotech mos-c1 cooler to improve vrm's cooling. 1pack: 10pcs with adhesive thermal pad, for my motherboard im using 2 packs.

I want to thank you as i have just got into older server components. I live in a good used market area for older server gear. so i have a few of these cpus kicking around and will try out some of the china new mother boards as i am tired of having what sounds like a jet taking off in my nerd cave. so the idea of a more normal cooling solutions on my servers with out doing massive mods to 1u rack mount systems is appealing.

Thanks for a wonderful video and here are some comments from my testing. I'm using the 8 core E5-2450v2 and if I stress test (prime95) the 8 cores withOUT hyperthreading; it hits the 95w tdp limit. Thus, it may be worthwhile to turn off HT for gaming. Also, it would be useful to prevent core-parking (speed throttling at idle). The difference in idle power usage for me was 15.5 watts with 8 cores full speed (2.9 Ghz) and 12.3 watts (8 cores but with idling). Hopefully this can help micro-stuttering as the LGA1356 chips just lack the max single thread IPC due to their limited 95W tdp max.

Thank you for the great video Phil!! Would you recommend this current setup for a power efficient freenas/plex server build, or one of the other versions of this board with a lower TDP processor?

Just found your channel. I've always been interested in not-bleeding-edge tech for the budget minded person. Hell, I'm still gaming on a 10 year old Phenom II, hahaha. Thank you for your efforts!

A very demanding simulation is City Skylines, that gives any CPU's a very hard time since you can manually adjust counters in the game menu to test the heck out of the simulation and your system :)

Really nice video for low budget people like me.

Hello, would you be able to test this platform with the rx470D graphics card. I would like to know how the performance looks like. because I want to put together such a set.

Hey, Phil great video. Any chance you could run through unlocking turbo boost on this motherboard?

I love these videos about these xeon platforms. Thanks for this!

Thank you for your review. I am having big pleasure listening you. It is good that your are showing the power consumption, as it is not common for most tech observers. Maybe here also would be good to add few words about the efficiency for your power supply, as final power consumption is very dependent of PSU. Some less experienced viewers could take it wrong thinking that values of power consumption you show is what only CPU and mobo use, missing the fact that PSU itself can consume from 5% to 40% of power. And due to this real CPU`s TDP under max load actually corresponds to official spec. paper.

I am not too familiar with server sockets, but I do want to eventually build a Xeon system for both gaming and general multitasking. Which socket would you recommend? All of them seem decent enough, but I'm not sure which one is the best value in overall

I really love these alternative buillds. A lot of ram, cpu that is great for the price and a lot of money to spare for a gpu, what's not to love?

Wow very good, you always impress me, keep making more, maybe compare motherboards side by side ?😘

Good Video But theres something that i was wondering, is there a way to limit the power consumption of the Sandy Bridge CPU in the bios because i had a few motherboards that have that feature, i know it might hurt boost clocks but i wonder if that is an option thanks.

The LGA2011 platform is worth it even for the additional cash

Once you have done all these motherboards and CPUs can you do a summary wrap up for price performance. I am mostly interested in content creation. Cheers

Looking forward for that unlocked CPU! :)

the way i used to get around the file locks of the ms store apps was shuting down windows holding shift and booting up a linux live cd and modifying the files from there, as linux doesn't understand that protection system.

On motherboards this small, it's good that they didn't offer triple channel memory. The extra length that the motherboard would have needed wouldn't have reached the next set of screw holes - and one of my motherboards which has that manufacturing choice flexes and creaks alarmingly when I install RAM.

I hope my kllisre motherboard will support e5-2470 VRM-wise. It does very well with 2420v2 but that chip consumes just 50W.

can you post a link for fan adapter can't find them anywhere on line... Thank You

Of course, the Chinese knows how to make a compelling budget friendly motherboard to pair up old high end parts to get something quite interesting, even if quality is one of those things that is doubtful.

Lga 1356 CPUs are a bit cheaper on eBay in the states if anyone's trying to save a few more bucks. The six core Xeon is going for around $35.

Although what I like the most is your retro-hardware content (best content creator when it comes to retro PC !), specially Pentium III and earlier era, it is good to know a bit more on the Xeon line, which I am not that familiar with. Greetings from Uruguay !

Hi, could you run some premiere pro benchmarks as well?

i just bought a 1356 hexa core i really want an octa core e2000 series xeon now

Thank you for that series, I thinking for months for buying something like that, will you make also some retro more movies someday with older parts ?

Hey phil i know its dated, but i think the vrm heatsink you can try one vrm heatsink from old gigabyte 1155 z68ap-d3? Seems the same for me tho sadly i dont have that x9a here

Try using the built in administrator account and see if you can access the files for that microsoft store game.

F.... You didn't got refund from those Chinese sellers...

Those Xeons are impressive for their age. My i5-4690k is starting to show its age in some newer titles. Stuff like DOOM (2016) and Forza are fine, though. The Vulkan and DX12 APIs seem to push my GPU harder and the 4 core CPU is still good enough @4.1Ghz. Where the 4 cores really struggle are in Ubisoft open-world games like Watchdogs 2. It gets choked on geometry draw-calls. To hit 60fps consistently, I have to lower the geometry settings a notch or two.

im getting one of these boards because their cheap pretty much lol for my stepbrother however its not this board you showed in your video its a jingsha x79 board for $49 USD. i still do have a e5 2420 v2 sitting around im giving him this setup because hes running on a fx 6300 so since alot more games are using more threads thought i would give him a little upgrade thats better for core thread work flow for games and other processes in the background.

@philscomputerlab just curious. Have you tried two 32GB RAM 🐏 sticks i.e 64GB to see if they are compatible? The board specs are very non specific on various Chinese / Russian sites about this board but the these Xeon’s should support higher ram it all depends if the sockets contain the required address lines...

✌️😏 775 & 1156 FTW! ✌️😏

Great phil now prices just went up lol.
