@Stimpy&Ren Increasingly it depends on the game and we are seeing games increasing multi-threaded. MS and PS haven't ivested in 12 core machines for no reason, games will make use of those cares. The current min is 4 cores (although you can virtualise 2 of those just). You stick with one or two cores if you wish but your gaming capability will be effected.

Hey Phil, just watching now, awesome stuff. Long Live the xeon :p. Is it max 1.9GHz on all cores? If so the 2420v2 might be better? I wouldn't mind trying the 2430 v2 has 300mhz extra too on the single.

@@philscomputerlab One of the nicer x79's I've seen come up. I really like the standard layout and size. As you mentioned, I've struggled with mounting screws and placements issues on some of the boards I've tested. Also really nice to see PCIe supported booting, as that's something that is missing from a number of other boards, preventing the use of HBA, RAID, or NVMe booting for server use. I think you hit the nail on the head as far as value goes. For $140, it's a pretty solid deal, but any higher than that and you really should look at a more modern platform. I think that will be especially true once Ryzen 3 3000 series CPUs and B550 boards are announced. I'd be curious to see what kind of performance you'd see at 1440p in a number of these games, when the CPU is less of a factor. Overall, you've got probably the most complete board I've seen. Quad channel memory, dual NVMe, good layout on the PCIe ports, and standard locations for power, SATA, and IO. I would still like to see some BIOS improvements and possibly some overclocking ability to further extend the value. Perhaps a price drop in some of the high Xeons will come before too long (E5-2687w v2 maybe). Good stuff Phil!

So from what I gathered, this HUANAN company more or less does all the boards. The other brands, are just like OEM versions of some sorts. This uATX board worked great, not a single hitch, crash or any issue whatsoever. I'm also getting this PLEXHD X79 Turbo, it's similar, but larger, so more PCIe slots, POST 7-segment, power and reset buttons, but in terms of function it should be identical.
Great video once again Phil, this would a great option for a cheap home server (Plex, FreeNas,ETC) since it supports ECC memory.
My HUANAN mobo intended for home server died for no reason. I got another a bit cheper no name one for 6 core 3.5ghz chip and now it works fine... But in retrospective It would be better and cheaper to get b350 and r5 1600. Ok registred ram is cheap.

Note, I did have to get an PCI-E 6 pin to 8 pin adapter for the GPU...the DELL does not have a lot of cable choice off of the modular OEM power supply.

FINALLY....someone doing a decent review of Huanan in English!!!!! I bought the HuananZhi Deluxe X79 with m.2 NVME. Coupled it with E5-1650V2 and 4x 8GB 1600MHz R-EEC Samsung RAM (clocked to 1866). I can set the core multipliers to 40x in BIOS and boot from the NVME! GPU is a GTX980. The only thing I highly recommend is to add a small fan (60 or 80mm) to blow directly on the VRM's. I also have an E5-1660 coupled to an ASROCK X79 Extreme 3 and 16GB 1600MHz R-EEC RAM (clocked to 1866) . The MB does not allow for V2 CPU's, hence I went with an E5-1660...version "1". Here, I can OC to 4.5Ghz...but I typically run it at 4.1 GHz. I also installed a fan to the VRM's for OCing. Also with a GTX980. For both, I went with a Chinese CPU cooler, 4 loop, dual radiator, dual fan with blue LED for about $25 ea. Lastly, a DELL Precision T5600 with dual E5-2667 and 16GB RAM, coupled to a GTX 970 OC'd. (I received this RIG, except the GPU, for free from my company during a decommissioning deal). It came with an 825W power supply. All run well and temps OK; 1080P in high or ultra at around 60FPS or better for the E5-1660 and E5-1650V2. With new cases (2 x CoolerMaster MasterBox Pro RGB, 2x 650W Bronze Power Supplies...for all three platforms I was out of pocket about $1300...hard to beat).

Yes, these work stations can be had for next to nothing and if you can live without overclocking, are solid buys. Hence avoid E5-1XXX's (no sense to pay premium for a used unlocked CPU). Best CPU's in this case and IMO are the E5-2680/2687W/2690 if you want to game at 1080P High+. My youngest has received my Dell T5600 (dual E5-2667, 825W PS, GTX 970OC). Because it doesn't have all the RGB bling, I dressed it up with some gray carbon (the stuff used for car exteriors) vinyl adhesives (eBay on the cheap) on the side panel and a metal Avengers badge (IRON MAN, off of eBay) on the top. Kid loves it. Handles Fortnite at 1080P EPIC settings without issue (low 60FPS, AVG 100+).
Seems to perform similarly to my i7 3770k at 4.5ghz in games with a lot of multi threading, but then of course mine performs a lot better in the ubisoft titles you mentioned since it's just got that clock speed advantage. Interesting that some older server parts can actually keep up since games are increasingly better utilising many core CPUs.

Still if games continue to better utilize multiple cores in the future maybe these system will be a better value than they seem?

It turned out very well, Youll get 100+ Fps at 1080P gaming from most games, even in the chunkier more demanding games like PUBG/ARK it was still on the happier end above 30FPS
If you compare to Ryzen...this type of setup makes more sense when you are going with >=32GB of RAM. The R-EEC RAM is so cheap...this is where the savings are found. The Huanan Deluxe X79 allows for m.2 NVME boot. The E5-1650, 1660, 1650V2 are great for overclocking (all are 6C12T)...but you need to find a board and bios that support this. Unless you use a Russian BIOS mod on the Huanan, it is not possible to go beyond the 40x multiplier in stock bios. With the mod, it apparently support up to 4.5Ghz. I do not speak Russian, so I settled for the stock bios. The mainstream branded X79 boards do not have m.2 NVME, but they are much better for overclocking. With some, you can apparently install NVME via PCIE, but I do not think you can boot from these, like on the HuanaZhi Deluxe where it already comes with an m.2 NVME slot. Also, the cheapest mainstream branded board that supports overclocking seems to be the ASROCK Extreme 3, at around US$180-200 on eBay (at the moment). However, this LGA-2011 socketed board does not support E5-XXXX (V2). The best you can do on this board for overclocking is the E5-1660. If you need more cores...consider E5-2690, 2687W or the more expensive E5-1680V2.

There is some luck element, some boards may have lower voltage, some may have higher. some CPUs are better some are worse, so people do report getting 4.4 ghz with 1650v2 on stock bios. The "mod" you talk about is called "voltmod" and you need to solder a resitor to a certain spot on the motherboard and this action basicly increases voltage.

Perhaps a 10 core xeon is actually a 12 core with 2 cores disabled because they are faulty or because they are fine and Intel wants to sell a cheaper version. I had a Phenom II X2 that I ran as a X4. I played Battlefield 1 and a bunch of games and it was just fine.

Hello Phil, few things about the memory, boards and CPUs. First, you are mistaken about one thing and that is the impact of quad channel. It does basically nothing in games (and most other apps too, it has small benefit only in compression), things really do not scale with channels. They do in synthetic benchmarks only, but that's not realistic scenario. What those do is load all CPU threads with code that tries to move data in memory and at the end it counts the numbers together and poof there is your results. But real world apps do not work that way. They usually need something from memory and they need it asap, most of the time is wasted by the latency before the data is found, and then the actual bandwidth needed to read it fast enough for the CPU to process, well, it just does not scale over dual. Same goes to latency, always look at the overall latency, not just the numbers. DDR3 at 1333CL9 will still have worse latency than DDR4 3200 CL16. So overall, even for X99 if one has dual or tripple kit, no need to worry, you are not loosing performance here. Same applies to X99 and any other ringbus based Intels. As it comes to the board, these Chinese boards are chaos. The issues is you do not know what chipset are you getting. The early ones had really X79 which was fine, cause you could overclock them slightly on the unlocked chips. Yeah no vcore modification support but they could still go to 4Ghz. But these days they are throwing H77 and B75 chips there (like here, single Sata3 and 5x Sata2 is a B75 tale), which is nice for the native USB 3.0 support but they do not overclock. Also shame for your power consumption, my idle is about half, I guess the C-states are not working right on your board. Few years ago Iv got this one for my sisters PC ( i.imgur.com/Mf3iLnL.jpg ) with E5-1650v2, got it to 4Ghz and its still really good machine. As it comes to the CPUs, avoid the low clocked ones its not worth it, if it cannot go over 3Ghz on all-core-turbo its not worth it. Good deals in general are the E5-1650, 1660 and 1680 both V1 and V2, cause those models are unlocked, and if your motherboard can overclock you are golden. For the locked ones, best are E5-2689, 2690, 2687W, 2667v2, 2673v2 ,2680v2, 2690v2. Engineering samples are also an option, and very frequent with Sandy. Generally, the SB-E ES chips, there is one rule, stick to the C-stepping chips. C0 C1 C2 are all good, perform like retail. The B steppings have tons of compatibility issues and I recommend avoiding those.

agreed, the B75 is probably the least desired chipset you can get in their lottery and unfortunately most sellers don't read your message if you decide to put a note with your order.. so it is down to luck what you end up with
Very interesting. Can you make the same tests using 1080p resolution as 720p is very vintage in 2019. Of course 1080p is GPU demanding, but what is interesting is the possibility to see if there's a CPU or RAM bottleneck. Good vidéo !!
get a 1650 v2 - you can get the for around 100 busk. If you do bios mod you can get 4.0 to 4.2 ghz. Then it is as fast as a i5 8400 i most games.

I am still a great supporter of X79, even more so than X58. In fact, the only reason i swapped to a Ryzen build instead of maintaining my 4930k+Rampage IV Black is because of the native NVMe support on it (X79 had none, most if not all of those mobos had it added, and my X79 mobo also has a custom modded BIOS with NVMe support). However, it didn't fully replace it, as i did replace my 4930k with a Xeon 12 core CPU and has been pulling duty as my server for a while.

x79 platform would be quite useful if you need a good amount of memory for a limited budget, like >128GB, since the DDR3 w/ECC memory is extremely cheap now. Other than that, it doesn't give much performance advantage for your bucks.
Well done Phil 👍

Awesome to see you doing some 10 core tests. Not at all surprised that hyper-threading doesn't help much. I actually commented way back in March on your 3-Way SLI video about trying LGA 1567. They seem to have much more reasonable prices ($10 for 2.4GHz 10 core), although according to Passmark a 2.4GHz E7-2870 has slightly worse single threaded performance to your 1.7GHz E5-2650L v2. I still think it funny (and silly) to go with my suggestion of a quad CPU setup, but I doubt it'd show better results as it doesn't look like your system is really taxing the CPUs above even 50% per core. The one test that'd be interesting to see is just how effective ECC memory is actually. I know rowhammer might be something that could possibly be used. Otherwise, other than the cheaper price it's hard to know what, if any, value there is to it. Probably the best results would simply be pulled from long running servers in large datacenters. Still, it'd be interesting to know if ECC is actually useful at all for a user's system for security or error detection. :/

I think ECC is nice to have, gives you a sense of security. I certainly had zero issues so far, not a single crash, blue screen or anything, it's been working wonderfully, but I've already moved onto testing the next board and CPU :D

That's true, that 2011 is very popular in Russia, but now the situation is changing. They gain popularity in 2017-early2018 because of mining epidemy and really INSANE prices for DDR4 RAM and any gpu's upper than...idk, gt1030??? So, very popular build was to buy this platform with cheap ECC-REG DDR3 + used GPU from mining rig, or non-mining card(smth like gtx770/970/old radeons). And the whole system with 6/12 cpu, 16gb ram and a reasonable gpu costed like a new i3, 8gb ddr4 and 1050ti. But now the situation has changed a lot. The Ryzen build cost about the same as a reasonable 2011 build(i mean 8/16+16gb), but you are getting a moder platform, that can be upgraded to 3000 series in the future; a modern ram that can be used in the future; you got all modern interfaces like sata3, nvme, usb3.1/usb-c; another important thing is the guarantee. Aaaaaand, the ryzen pc got a pretty alike performance. Especially if you overclock your ram to 3000+ MHz, or just buy already OC ram. Idk the prices in your contry, but in Russia you can build X370+R5 1600+16Gb or B450+R7 1700+8gb for about the same price(maybe 1-2k rubles more- it's less than 20-40$). So, now there is a very little reason in building 2011 system from zero; maybe reasonable if you have 16Gb of ddr3 and gpu and you are on a very VERY tight budget. P.S. sorry for my english. Your videos are great x)

not only with the upgrade option.

I wonder what a 2080ti would do... But motherboard parts and the quality. just be careful and check caps and screws have not fallen. and yeah. turn off HT. its only for little calculations that the GPU can do in the same amount of time if you fiddle with the settings on nvidia. The only thing letting it down. its 2011 with 22nm but clock it 5-10% more, its happy and just does what the non clocked version is good. I fount these a while back... The Huanan chip is based off the old intel chipset systems but with a better bus ram speed. so if you want thunderbolt, pci-e with the PWM modulator via your power supply and it will bump upto 42v output if needed.

The problem with building computers in that way for people is the after sales support, ie. they *will* come back for help with a gazillion different issues (and if you're using OEM Windows licenses then you're obliged to help, or you could sell the PCs with Linux and just let the buyer get Windows on their own if they want to). Unless one can handle that somehow, the time taken up can make the whole thing uneconomic. It can also quickly become a saturated market, and remember you'd be dealing with the kind of buyer less likely to understand the rationale of why what you have for sale makes more sense to buy then rival product X or cheaper product Y (ie by definition they're buyers with low budgets and little technical knowledge, otherwise they'd be buying something better and/or building it themselves). It can become a race to the bottom with thin margins, and the profit for a whole month can be wiped out by just one disgruntled buyer who demands a return & refund (whether their claim is legit or not). Alas the pen & paper math of buy-low-sell-high rarely translates smoothly into the real world. It can sound great, but things go wrong, there are unexpected costs, it can be time consuming, etc. Remember the Penny Blossom episode from BBT? :D

The difference between that and 2133 is a whopping $10! Actually, I'm not even sure its that much difference depending on the sale... And you may not want higher for reasons below (ignoring the obvious worse timings, I'm talking about getting it to even boot...): Most CPUs will not run much faster anyways: 9900k scales just about the same with high speed memory as Ryzen, but it goes a lot faster with up to 4200 Mhz to 4500 Mhz memory if you get lucky on the memory controller on the CPU (and blast the snot out of Mem voltage). The 8700k can only break 4200 Mhz on maybe 10% of the chips (and they may be the crappy 4.8 Ghz chips, you're chances of getting both a good overclocking CPU and mem controller are unlikely). 7700k is even worse odds! I mention this, because I literally cannot get anything over 3200 on my 2200G to run (its 2 sticks taken from my TR-1950x which runs them just fine at XMP 3600 or overclocking to 3777 Mhz with reasonable timings), but the 2200G physically CANNOT boot past that, and it has to run absolute garbage timings (19-20-20) with rather high SOC voltage. Even at that, its unstable! I'm literally at a black screen right now just trying to get it to boot again (core temp is -50c at boot, yes NEGATIVE 50c, making it an extra big pain in the butt to actually make work!). My 1700 wouldn't even run XMP 2800-17-17-17... I mean, that's such lose timings, that should be 3600 speed... Ryzen is not the best on memory overclocking (literally the only thing keeping my score from being #1 in Firestrike/TimeSpy/Skydiver etc. I have the highest GPU and CPU core in the 2200g by a good margin, but this *$($@ memory controller on it is a nightmare!

So high core count gaming, that just calls Threadripper to me! It works good since TR is top 5% binned Ryzen, it runs faster than the 1800x chips they binned it from, and easy to cool, so even if you just turn off half the cores or got the 1900x 8 core, then either way it beat the fastest desktop Ryzen since its just binned from it. The new 2nd gen TR is just binned 2700x packed together, 3rd gen might be interesting...

I'd go for a 'cheap ryzen' but they don't support high enough memory and still have high power usage The atom parts are interesting but a bit lacking The Epyc 3000 embedded parts are my cup of tea but expensive + use DDR4 Any chance or no chance?
