actually, I think this mobo has 10 sata ports the other 4 ports you get if you have the ssf-8087 to 4x sata splitter cable (can be bought on amazon etc. for 5-10usd)

My 5 year old Ryzen 9 3900x has only 12 cores 24 threads, uses less than half the Power and only one socket and scores 18000 points in Cinebech R23

We had an issue with these where the IPMI would drop out and require a cold reset on the bmc.

Or go to microcenter and get a current gen bundle for cheaper and higher benchmarks and fit majority of home user needs. I can see this is a good option for some fringe cases but majority of home uses I think it's cheaper and easier to pop into microcenter.

Did you put any thermal paste between the CPU and cooler?

Beast mode! would love to see more videos around this server!

are you able to post a link to the board you bought so wee can get it please

I bought a whole 2u server in supermicro case with the X10DRH-C motherboard at an auction. Super happy with it for about the same price.

Great video,really informative, may I know the GB5 scores for this build, sorry if I miss something😊

Miyconst channel has Tpm modules and bios . I have that Chinese board with 2 2699 V3 .I have to use push pull on my cooling . That is a nice build.

Please note that the Chinese board does not support quad channel ram so eve ff you used all four slots, they are 2 channels each CPU. the supermicro (like every other name brand) supports all 4 channels so essentially much better memory bandwidth.

good value - people don't have an idea of how to really use this much power - still could be upgraded to nvme/dual gpu and huge raid arrays = for 1300 you get a lot but eventually these older systems are going to go away - they still have some lifespan left for sure - upgrade to an older threadripper in 3 yrs

I ordered an X10SRH-CF off of ebay for a really good price (mobo+CPU combo for $50) because I had ram sitting around I could use for it. Seller ended up sending me an X11SSH-F by mistake and long story short I ended up with both boards+CPU for $50. Now I just need to figure out what to use the X11 for but I'm sure I can figure something out. I've worked with SM boards for years, some of them have had quirks (usually fixed with bios update) and X99 is kind of getting old depending on what you want to do exactly (and needing Java for older boards IPMI is a pain) but I'd take a second hand SM board over those cludged together boards any day, glad you finally gave a SM board a try. I know power is much more of an issue in Europe for instance though and the power draw for that system would probably make hardware like that a no go for a lot of people, that said there's nothing wrong with using those Chinese boards (assuming they work properly and are reliable) given some nice QOL features like NVME slots and what not and the fact that the hardware isn't becoming ewaste is probably a good thing. That board will do 10 SATA with a breakout cable for the 's-sata' port, don't know if that board is as finicky as some other SM boards about cables but the SM part (CBL-0097L-03) is fairly cheap.

VGA port… serial port.. Wow. Is that super high-end technology!?

I see that you really love plants.. how adorable.

SuperMicro are great board, I've had a couple server built around those boards with zero issues.

Congratulations on the board. SM boards are great. Two tips: You can generate a OOB license based on the BMCs MAC address. Its nice to be able to flash BIOS from the BMC. You can google the script. Second, if you want to boot of NVME there are some BIOS modifications for injecting NVME support DXEs. I did it on my X10DRU-i its really simple. Enchances the already good value on these boards.

There's some other versions of that board from Supermicro that have 3 x16 slots and 3 x8 slots named X10DRi-T. Based on the model number (it has a T at the end) think the board has built in 10Gb ports. There's even a smaller version that fits in an ATX form factor too, the X10DRL-i (but that one only has the 1 x16 slot and no built in 10Gb. IMO the only downside of these boards is I couldn't get mine to boot to NVME drives in PCI riser cards, but I think you can get a modified BIOS that allows NVME boot.

Sad for me because im from Asia

thanks for the review, now i can decide what i want to buy.

I am pleasantly surprised that an X99 CPU was able to pass the windows 11 requirements, as it is not mentioned in the list of compatible CPU. Well done for building the fully loaded server board.

I'm interested in one of those MBs, what's the link for the eBay store?

Just so you know the supermicro X10 series of boards support the firmware microcode edit trick to allow v3 Xeons to run with no turbo limits. I used an X10Dri board with a pair E5-2696 v3 Xeons running all core 4GHz turbo for a long while. The firmware is easy to edit (search Miyconst) and unlocks all v3 xeons, sadly does not work on v4 CPUs, but a turbo-unlocked E5-2696 v3 beats a E5-2699 v4 in all benchmarks I tried.

Hallo from Germany. Nice what you doing. This board have an ssf port (same on pcie raid controller) behind the the usb3 port on board. you can connect 4 SAS drive there.

Spending so much on drives only to cheap out on an unproven chinese frankenstein board.

Too bad it lacks quicksync.. what's the power draw at idle and under load? That's important info and I can't find it in your other videos.. 🤔

How are you getting video without a GPU? Xeon doesn't have an iGPU. Is there a VGA chip on the motherboard? This looks like a very interesting motherboard with a lot of connectivity. For the price, I'm considering buying one. My only reservation is that I will be wasting my time chasing bugs on an unstable, unbranded, Chinese piece of junk when I could just pay a little more and get a new AMD B550 motherboard, 5500 CPU, and i/o adapters. I've subbed and watched both of your videos on this mobo. Could you do another one where you test the throughput on all of the rear i/o and a long term stability test? Essentially I'm asking you to make a video where you try to kill this motherboard.

i think in Bios the Watch Dog is enabeled so it boot to windows always !! Stop it and you will be able to install Linux without a problem

Biraz tuhaf buldum. Ama ise yarar gibi görünüyor. Bios biraz eski gibi geldi. Soğutma yetersiz kaldı. Tam bir kasa kurulumu yapıp oyun testlerinde render testlerinde görmek isterdim. Başarılar diliyorum ❤🎉😂😊

Does the board support proper pcie power management? How does the C states look?

Great time to be alive 😎

I have an old HP Z440 E5 1650V4 64g ddr4 K2200 Quadro gpu. $230 Australian. The 32g 2400 is between $80 and $120 here. CPU $40. Be good to play around with for a novice like me who loves Xeon's.

cool, but i have to ask, what did u do while installing windows? is there something i have to buy to run windows, and how can i connect wifi without ethernet

Thanks for the video, looking to build the same myself. Do you know if the Raspberry Pi 5 build will fit in the case of the PENTA SATA KIT for ROCK5 Model A?

Do you know the power consumption? Idle, Full load, etc?

3.3 isn't wrong, if Performance mode is enabled, it will always run on Full turbo mode. I use the same processors for Monero mining in Proxmox on a Lenovo x3550 M5 Server, so you definitely want performance mode then, I've installed 512GB of ram, because I also run Xpenology, Kali, Ghost Spectre, Home Assistant, Frigate, and Odoo on that server. I also use NetApp FAS and Disk Shells for the storage on the Xpenology. To get 9.2Pb as total storage for my NAS. Off Course run a few more servers in the cluster for networking operations, and Local LLM.

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Evelyn Infurna. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

This would maybe be interesting as DAW server/workstation, basically an audio pc to host plug-ins, always need lots of cores and RAM, VERY INTERESTING!

A lot of these cheap Aliexpress motherboards are not worthy to be purchased, since they will fail after using for 1 -2 years or some even fail earlier.

hello i bought one but cant find documentation for os installation for further development. can you help me out in this

Where exactly did you find this. I would like to duplicate this for 140.00.

Thanks for this investigation! I've been running a proxmox server with truenas virtual on an old gaming rig setup with all OC options disabled and still having issues with stability, so I just ordered this kit today. I'm hoping I get as lucky as you, seems like everything worked out of the box. My first Ali order also so I'm super skeptical, but yolo, I guess! 😅

Is the source code for the OS available?

Should we be buying cheap stuff from China is the question at the current World state we live in?

Nice work

Great video! Really enjoyed your breakdown of each motherboard.

I think almost every other channel, is unboxing Chinese motherboards because of the price. A message to other manufacturers. Thank you.

The board you thinking is DDR 4 has pc3 10600R modules. So they given you the DDR3 version. What is more they cheaped out and gave you 1333mhz memory not 16000mhz

Your channel is fast becoming one of my favourites! Good work man!

Picked up a H800 yesterday, dual Xeon. Ill keep you updated
