Well done chap, a cracking rigg mate.
I have 2 of these systems used for render farms. Great deal for 44 cores/ 88 threads w/M.2! Waiting for a cheap dual x299 board…
Also, I can only apologize on behalf of my (unknown-to-me-until-now) 464 clones for none of them having commented after having taken a viewing.
I noted my towel in a room that was not mine, and that the dario did not cough on the appropriate step. Curtains! If I was the captain of the SM U24, I would not have known what direction that shirt was going.
Also, Ian Botham was once run out by a cunningly called 5f (and I'd don't mean a cleaning straw).
To actually answer your request, I once 'built' a flammable 'robot'. I don't recall precise Lee how many pigeons (coooooooo-ers, mate) it contained and utilized, but I suspect it was insufficient. Mr B would certain Lee say so.

This motherboard support 4 memory chanels per cpu or in total?
Thank you for sharing your experiences, it was interesting !
Hey there. Awesome video. Which Noctua fan did you get cant seem to find 2011-3. 6:12
Charismatic and heart warming tech video! Thank you for sharing your experiences 😄🤓🙌🏼
Nice build. I like the case. Can you share case name and model information?
how to enable ram ecc mode ?
I'm wondering if this board allows you to activate virtualization from the BIOS like most modern boards. I think I heard you say you were going to install ESXi on this board. Just want to verify.
Greetings from across the pond! I just purchased this motherboard, and have all of the components to build my ESXi server. I've been getting some A7 errors, which seem to be memory errors – I was able to test 32×8 registered Micron memory by re-seating them in bank 1 to get past the A7 error; however, now I'm getting a A3 error, which seems to be the CPU. I was able to get into the BIOS just once, which allowed me to make some adjustments, but every other time I attempted to get to the BIOS, it freezes, and I get a 7b error on the motherboard. Do you happen to have any guidance?
I noticed you have a 4 m.2 port AIC, Does this motherboard also support PCIe Bifurcation? I'd love to see an update video on this build and how its serving you(no pun intended)
Pretty cool build! These Chinese motherboards have always been something that interests me, I have also been eyeing this motherboard for a server build as well. Out of curiosity does the motherboard bios allow you to enable IO-MMU? How well does PCIe Passthrough work with this thing?
O, nooo. Again, won't boot. No-o… Restart? Training 8 dimm slots only. How long? Finally! Running. The case is real server 🙂 Leds are so important. 😂😂😂
I am waiting for the price and cinebench r23 score. Then will post comment like this one. One i9 cpu and cheap mobo with ddr5 192GB RAM for 2K and score 40K is good idea. Your "server" will never hit 40K score on cinebench even with dual xeon. I9 13gen for 400$. And it work at first start.
Cutting network pci card was genius dude. I give you thumbs up and subscription also. Jest tell us. Is your wife watch your video? May be this is the reasone why I missed prices for the hardware.
O, I see. This mobo… someone eat two ram channels:) 😂😂😂 No-o-o.
Server mobo with these dimm slots orientation? O, nooo 😂😂😂😂
The good news is, at least Noctua orientation is correct. It is for desktop. Not to mention for low price per performance of Noctua g@rbage.
Noctua? What? Those expensive garbage for this chip mobo and old xeon? 😂😂😂 OMG
Me? Me!
Very funny 😂😂😂😂
Cinebench R23 multithread points? Score? How much did you pay for this nonsense? First time dual bios became single. Dude 😉 Aliexpress? No!!! 🙂
I bought this board and assembled the assembly:
– MACHINIST X99 D8 MAX
– 2x Intel Xeon E5 2696v3
– 8x Samsung 64GB 4DRx4 PC4-2400T-LD1-11-MC0 (M386A8K40BM1)
– ADATA Legend 960 MAX 2TB
– GeForce GT 1030 GPU
– ST 2600W Power Supply
This motherboard is very capricious!
Does not accept memory sticks and operating systems.
The indicator is installed upside down
With Samsung 64GB 4DRx4 memory PC4-2400T-LD1-11-MC0 does not enter the BIOS. The indicator displays code «b7» – when installing both 8 and 4 memory sticks.
AliExpess incorrectly indicates the maximum memory size. Somewhere it says 512, and somewhere 256GB.
At the same time, this memory works great in the simple MACHINIST X99 MR9A, providing 256GB instead of the maximum declared 128GB.
Installed Machinist 4x8GB memory (from MACHINIST X99 MR9A Pro kit)
The assembly worked – entered the BIOS
OS Windows 10 Pro For Workstations x64 Lite 21H2 (build 19044.1706) does not install (hangs after installation), regardless of:
– change SSD (ADATA Legend 960 MAX 2TB or KingSpec 1 TB)
– changing the SSD installation slot
At the same time, the same OS from the same loaded flash drive was successfully installed on several other computers.
The old OS Windows 10 Pro for Workstations RS5 x64 Rus (v.03.02.19) was installed.
I am disappointed!
Now I'm thinking about how to find memory for this motherboard.
Will it be possible to cram 512GB into it?
Which 64GB memory sticks will fit in this board?
Is it possible to update the BIOS? And will this help?
Who knows?
Nice video.
I have a question, i have more or less the same setup. But when i check the status in cpuz, it reads only 1 cpu. While i have 2 xeons installed like yours. Bios though reada both. Am i missing something?
Moreover my motherboard temp is 105 degree Celsius. And i cannot get around that. Even after startup. When i touch the board after shutdown it doent feel like 105 degrees. Any idea?
@andrewsturmey great video (although explaning on the memory slots can help for those how don't have memory for all the slots)
do you have the manual for the MB? can you share a link to it something
I bought one also but I'm only getting couple (5 i think) beeps and error code of A6 but have no clue what is wrong (as the memory,cpu and gpu are ok..)
just got the same board in the mail now, will be using it with 128gb ecc ddr4 2133mhz and 2x2699v3 for 36c/72t and 2x2tb nvme + 2 gtx1080ti for my unraid server. looking forward to get it out and up and running!
Great! Thank you very much for this! Did you receive users manual? I didn't… There website is not updated with this mobo specs.. I sent an email for MACHINIST and they don't respond.
Is there a hidden xmp option in the AMI bios? I just built my server and the ram latency seems it be an issue at load for me. Additionally, is there a way to enable turbo or XTU?
Can confirm that I got a clone of this board. Still in that orange color, but without green logo on the bottom, and heatsinks were straight black, without indents.
2 CPUs could not be recognized with a bunch of cycling and ending on F9 code, no video output.
Also it managed to get to FF post code one time, but still no video output.
I didn't think to try to use 1 CPU, but what I did find out was that yes…indeed it is the case for many of these boards according to Miyconst channel.
Same exact issue he mentioned.
Selling dual socket motherboards with only 1 cpu support. Returning mine back to seller due to defect.
Great coverage, brother! I'd like to see you build more. Maybe you can build out custom servers, sell them, & build YT content around such a channel. Not enough people (if any) are even doing this. Would you say that it is money well-spent on AliEx?
I'm considering purchasing this motherboard, but I have heard bad things about the machinist bios. The main thing I'm interested in is pcie bifurcation. Planing to run many nvme drives. Does this motherboard support pcie bifurcation?
First of all, great video. It's hard to find much information about this platform, let alone this specific motherboard. This was helpful. Second, I have been searching for an answer to a question and can't seem to find one. Perhaps your insight can help me.
I've seen comments that say an IOMMU toggle is nowhere to be found in the BIOS. But others say that it is. I suspect those that can't enable IOMMU have an older BIOS version. However, I can't find any kind of confirmation of that. Would it be possible for you to check yout BIOS and see if it is an option? If so, what is the BIOS version?
I ask because GPU passthrough is going to be critical to my planned Proxmox server and workloads. I already have two 2698v3 CPUs I salvaged from a local server. So it would be nice to be able to put them to use.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Wow, amazing setup!
Do you have quad or octa channel memory with all the 8 slots populated? I'm planning on getting this mobo for two 2696v3.
Tia.
espero otro video explicando a fondo
Which key is for entering in bios? I have the same motherboard. Thanks
Are both M2 NVMe slots PCIe 3.0×4?
Or one of them is version 2.0?
Спасибо за видео! Так же купил эту плату, на Али, доставка была со склада в РФ, обошлась в 10100 рублей с бесплатной доставкой, за 4 дня. Это примерно 125$. Заказывал только плату, без процессоров и памяти, их буду заказывать чуть позже, выйдет примерно еще плюс такая же сумма.
Так же уже куплена подержанная видеокарта r9 fury nano, цена 4000р.
И блок питания планирую на 1kW, так как возможно добавлю еще одну карту в crossfire, пока что его подбираю, стоит не мало.
Процессоры сначала поставлю дешевые, 2x 2690v3 за 1360р штука на том же сайте. Потом сменю возможно на 2699 v3. Лучшие конечно 2699p v4, но их даже упоминания нету почти нигде, но как вариант апгрейда в далеком будущем есть =)
Материнка интересная, жаль про нее мало информации находится в сети, хотелось бы узнать про возможности разгона памяти и процессоров.
How many PCIe lines support this motherboard from each PCIe-connectors?
Does it support 4 GPUs with x16 lanes each?
What cooler from noctua is that?
May you please check a couple things out for me ? Which raid configurations does the motherboard support and does it have a wake on after power loss in bios . Thank and great video 😊
I was considering to replace my atual dual socket with this one, My problem now is my pc was not hibernation/suspend suport, and the pcie are limited to 2 16x bays. (not sure if the second is performace as that)
Does this board support sleeping mode?
