Review: Yeah these are great. Use an old cheap Xeon and old memory to do cool stuff. - These are great. If you are looking for a first class experience go with a known brand. But if you are looking for an inexpensive, good board that boots and you can use old parts with to make a powerful little systems, these boards do the job. These are sold under many listings and brands with just a few differences. I bought 2 different ones and the only changes were the colors. I went wild and put 18-core Xeon E2695s on the, paired with 128MB of ECC DDR4 server memory. They run great. I use on to host ProxMox and another as a test box for whatever I want. They are rock stable. Complaints? Sure. It could use another full sized PCI Man it would be killer if I could use a 10gb network card. They do have a short PCI slot. I have purchased some 2.5gb cards that look like they'd fit, but I have not done any testing. I have used a few Chinese market boards over the years. Years ago they used to be usable but pretty rough. They are getting really good, but still a little less developed than well known makes. It is a cheap board, be ok with some stuff if you are buying this.
Review: Ban this seller - If I could give it a zero I would, this company should be banned from selling anything on any platform. I have purchased three (3) motherboards from this company Two are the no-name x99 dual processor (pos) one stopped working after a month and the second one out of the box would not post, giving a bad ram error and was unable to bridge the ram for the 2nd cpu. This board I did not pay attention to the seller otherwise would not have purchased it, the board was delivered in a box that looks like rats were eating it, NO cover on the cpu socket and yes thermal paste everywhere.

- The package includes: 1*CPU fan bracket, 1*SATA cable, 1*I/O baffle, 1*motherboard. All the information of this product can be found in the description and pictures. Manuals are not included in the package and can be downloaded from this page if needed. The motherboard does not include a battery.
- Tip: Before purchasing this server board, make sure you can install it yourself. Of course, they are easy to install. After the motherboard is installed normally, if there is no display, no boot, no picture, no network card, no sound card, etc. It is recommended that customers restore factory settings, reset CMOS, or use an eraser to erase the metal pins on the memory, CPU, or graphics card
- Common problem: "FF" code appears on the diagnostic card, which may be caused by incompatible CPU, foreign objects on CPU pins or improper power connection. The metal fingers of the CPU can be wiped with an eraser to ensure cleanliness. If the codes "b7", "b9", "53" and "b0" appear, this is a problem that the motherboard does not detect the memory. You can remove and insert the memory several times or wipe the metal fingers of the memory with an eraser to solve it
- Note: If you need the desktop motherboard to enter the BIOS, please press the "Del" key continuously after pressing the startup key. Please do not wait until the startup LOGO screen appears on the computer screen before operating, because it is already too late. If you don't know where to download the driver, it is recommended to use the win 10 system

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad, but not amazing either.
*by D***N on April 5, 2025*

Personally, I was not sure what to expect using this very obviously Chinese motherboard, but ultimately I am happy to report it works very well for what it is. There are no instructions, so if you are new to building, you may want to avoid this entirely and go for a name brand. Initially I had a problem with booting, but upon looking up the debug codes, I was able to determine which of my processors I had gotten off eBay were bad. I used Xeon 2667V4's in my build for the clock speed, with attached Noctua NH-D9DX i4 coolers (these are great and keep the processors nice and cool, even if used passive). There are no mini PCIe slots, so if you are using more than one GPU, you will only have access to ONE of the two remaining slots for other add on cards. For me, this was not an issue, as I only required WiFi/BT. The culprits are two Geforce GTX Titan X's causing this to happen, but it makes for an excellent SLI system. This is also an issue for the top of the two m.2 slots... One is blocked/covered by the video cards, so it's not going to get used due to not being able to place a heat sink there. Just as well, the stand offs for said m.2 slots are specific to this board, so good luck finding a replacement if you damage or lose it (I did, so I took a star for this) As others have stated, there are few cases on the market that will support this case, so I put it on a cheap test bench bought here on Amazon, and it works fine since I don't need to move it around. The TPM slot does function with an MSI-based module, but the BIOS will not see it. Which is unfortunate, but not needed in my scenario regardless as it won't support Windows 11 anyway due to the age of the processors used in this board. The board itself is pretty sturdy, has VRM Heatsinks, a chipset heatsink, lots of three pin fan headers. Only one USB header though. Running 64GB of ECC Samsung server memory, works fine, was cheap and new modules can be had on eBay. I may see what the Linux support for it is like at some point, but not yet. Maybe once Windows 10 is expired.
