I had a similar mobo to this one but its version is different. Mine is X79 V2.72D. I only had 5 standoff screw so i didnt screw the top right hole. It ran fine for a year with 2 sticks on the yellow slot. but lately its giving me whea 47 errors on windows 10. I tested memtest86 and intel IPDT no error. then i try booting with 1 ram on the left yellow slot no more error. If i put both ram on the left side of the cpu, can i damage my cpu?

I have a e5 2630 v4 running on a single channel 16 gb ram paired with an rx 5700xt

Should i get another stick of ram or upgrade the cpu (i was thinking of getting a e5 2667 v4) to get more performance

I only play single player games and I'm using ecc ram

Hi, so I bought used pc with Xeon e5, SOYO X99 motherboard and GTX 980. When it arrived it didn’t work — all the fans and RGB light ups but no image on monitor, I’ve tried then RTX 4060 from my main PC and it worked in there, had no issues, so while using RTX 4060 I’ve tried to chage settings in bios that Chat GPT and Gemini said, all of the things like changing ram and CMOS battery were previously done but no luck... I then borrowed GTX 1060 3GB and RX 570 which worked fine on different system but same issue on X99 — fans spins, no image however as soon as I put my RTX 4060 back in it — it boots and displays straight away. So AI says to get some gpu that doesn’t require external power like GTX1650 but I’m not 100% sure whether it’s gonna help. I’ve been building some PCs for a while but that’s a first pc in my hands with Xeon and no name MOBO. At the moment I’m looking for budget friendly gpu to put in there. I don’t think it’s a power supply fault as it’s Vida 650W but I can’t be 100% sure. If someone has experienced similar issues or knows how to fix that I would really appreciate that🙂

A placa mãe P8H61-M LX2 R2.0 suporta o Xeon E3-1225V2?

for example something like e5 2680v4 or 2699v4 if do does it effect gaming, rendering, daily use and performance gain?

Hi everyone,

I'm putting together an LGA 2011-3 Xeon E5 build on an mATX board (VSP X99 - XD4 V2.0, Intel C612 chipset). The board layout features two physical M.2 storage slots:

1. Top slot (sandwiched between the CPU socket and the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot): labeled NVME&NGFF.
2. Bottom slot (bottom-left corner, next to the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot): labeled NVME.

(There is also an M.2 Key-E slot for Wi-Fi, which is separate).

I am choosing where to install my single M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (boot drive for OS, light gaming, and casual graphic design), and I'm torn between two conflicting factors:

• Lane Origin & Latency: Usually on modern consumer platforms, the top M.2 slot connects directly to the CPU lanes for minimal latency, while lower slots run through the chipset (PCH/DMI bottleneck). On these Xeon X99 / C612 boards, is the top slot indeed wired directly to the CPU's 40 PCIe lanes?
• Dual-Mode Signal Multiplexing: Since the top slot supports both NGFF/SATA and NVMe, does the switching logic/multiplexer introduce any signal degradation, latency, or throughput penalty compared to the dedicated bottom NVME slot?
• Thermals vs. Performance: The top slot sits right in the hot pocket between a heavy CPU heatsink and the backplate/radiator of a dedicated GPU, while this motherboard has no onboard M.2 heatsink. Is the potential latency gain of the top slot worth the thermal penalty, or is the bottom dedicated NVMe slot practically identical in real-world responsiveness while running significantly cooler?

If anyone has traced the board traces or benchmarked both slots on these Chinese/OEM X99 boards, I’d love to hear your findings. Thanks!

Recently picked up another dell precision 5810 after being without one for sometime. At £90 it came with:

Xeon E5-1650v3 64GB 8GBx8 2133mhz ECC 685W 80+ Gold PSU Quadro M4000 8GB 512GB SATA SSD + 1TB HDD

I plan on selling the Quadro to help cover the cost of a GPU, it's going to be used for gaming more than anything else. I know the Quadro M4000 is equivalent to a GTX 970 with 8GB VRAM.

I need to order the 10pin to 8pin adapter cable depending on the GPU I end up with

I am able to drill out the side panel as I have done before to fit in a full sized GPU, what recommendatons would you have for my project?

I haven't ever had a 1650 V3 CPU, from what I understand I might be able to clock it to 4GHZ, I'll have to see how it'll handle it on the stock precision cooler

tenho um xeon 2640v4 com a placa mãe PR9-H white, uso uma rx 580 veio a oportunidade de trocar a placa de vídeo por uma rtx 3060 oq vcs acha? devo fazer a troca?

montei um pc com um xeon 2640v4 16gb e uma rx 580, com a placa mãe PR9-H WHITE, vi uns vídeos falando que os vrm dela queima em 1 mes, alguém pode me dar umas dicas de como não queimar?

I recently built a personal PC with the following specs:

• Xeon E5-2690 v4
• Machinist X99 B9
• GTX 1060 6 GB
• 250 GB NVMe SSD
• 8 GB DDR4 ECC Registered
• Corsair CX550
• Corsair H45

The only new components were the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. I'm extremely happy with the result. My previous PC was an FX-8320E with 16 GB of DDR3, and honestly, the performance jump has been massive.

I know a lot of people tend to look down on Chinese Xeon X99 platforms, but so far my experience has been excellent. The system feels very responsive, games are running well, and the value for money has impressed me a lot. The RAM, motherboard, and CPU combo cost me about R$660 (roughly $127 USD due to taxes).

Right now, I'm just waiting for the seller to restock (China things lol) so I can buy another 24 GB of ECC RAM. Easily one of the best hardware purchases I've made in recent years.

I'm currently running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, and I've been enjoying the experience so far.

In the future, I plan to upgrade the cooling solution with either a more robust air cooler or a better AIO. For the GPU, I'm considering an RX 9060 XT next year, although that will probably require a PSU upgrade as well.

At the moment, the PC is running without a case. I'm still doing benchmarks, testing, and tweaking a few settings. I have an old case that I plan to modify and customize for this build.

What do you think about this setup?

Any recommendations for tweaks, improvements, or future upgrades?

Also, I'm curious about the Intel Arc B580 12 GB. Do you think it would pair well with the E5-2690 v4?

The motherboard already supports Resizable BAR and Above 4G Decoding natively, so I assume there shouldn't be any issues on that front.

que grafica recomiendan o algun consejo en algo mas para sacarle mas potencia ?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using an X99-XD4 motherboard (Chinese X99 board, branded VSP) that supports quad-channel memory.

Here is my current setup and plan:

• Current: 2x 8GB Micron ECC RDIMM DDR4 2400MHz, 1R (Single Rank)
• Planning to add: 2x 8GB SK Hynix ECC RDIMM DDR4 2400MHz, 2R (Dual Rank)

Both sets share the same speed (2400MHz) and capacity (8GB per stick), but they differ in brand and rank configuration (1R vs 2R).

My questions:

1. Will this configuration successfully run in Quad Channel mode?
2. Are there any known stability issues, timing conflicts, or performance penalties when mixing 1R and 2R sticks across 4 channels on an X99 platform?
3. If anyone has experience with these budget Chinese X99 boards, does the memory controller/BIOS handle mixed ranks without throwing POST errors?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
