I work in Datacenters, these intel xeon were famous in about 8 years ago, they got decommissioned and flooded the aliexpress website. They then created the motherboards to run them, hence the infamous x99. I got one running stuff for work and even games such car simulators. Now Im thinking in building private NAS and this motherboard could not be any better, I think you hit the jackpot with this combo. Maybe a how to installing proxmox then run pfsense, homeassistant and Truenas in VMS would be an idea of a video!!.anyways, subscribed :)

since NAS almost linked to Media servers now, you can also test plex/jellyfin for transcoding capability (how many transcoded stream it can handle for example 4k to 1080p) and how much power it uses, comparing to N100 board (have almost the same price and feature 4x2.5GB + 6xSATA) if possible

Excellent board for a mini-DTX server, which is slightly longer than mini-ITX. What is important is the PCIe x16 slot supports bifurcation x4x4x4 out of the box allowing you to plug an adapter with 4 NVMe discs. Given this 5 NVMe drives are easily installed in the system. Very convenient and VGA output to set up the system with busy PCIe. On the board, apparently, the IPMI controller is a part of which is a VGA output, but there is no remote control itself, possibly due to the lack of software licenses. In general, an excellent compact board for the cheap Xeon E5 now allows you to assemble a compact, relatively inexpensive server with many streams, a bunch of NVMe and SATA and up to 64GB of RAM. This for a home server will last for 5 years, or even longer. Additional feedback: The board is chic. A few tips below. To select the built-in video or discrete choose in Bios: Intelrcsteup> miscellaneous configuration> Active Video To break x16 slot into other values (bifurcation), such as x4x4x4 for NVMe: Intelrcsteup> io0 configuration> iou0 (PCIe port 2)

I spoke to a Marhone Huang with BKHD and he said this board does work with ECC, but it has to be RDIMM or Registered ECC. He really pushed on it being 2400mhz.

Thanks for the review, looks like a great board but i have some questions: ECC RAM working? Can you install GPU on the x16 slotm Does this board have display without external GPU? What is the speed of the nvme? Which c-state this board using?

really really thankyou for this content

There are real gems on Ali. My old mobo died. They had B75 based motherboards for 43$ shipped. Swapped mobos. Told Windows to reactivate. Boom done! It even has bootable m.2 4x lanes NVMe. Good video! 👍

I've actually been waiting for someone to do a review on this board. Been watching it for awhile. By the way, you picked up a new subscriber. The only thing I would like to know is what is the greatest sleep state does this motherboard goes into and does it actually support Restore on AC/Power Loss. Also I noticed you didn't test the msata slot (for wifi or dual Coral TPU)

I always need to build NAS with xeon processor but not sure with power consumption and stability. Your video provide a lot information. Thank you.

Great find. If a proper network link speed could be created, this board would be excellent for a Ceph cluster. I have a few Xeon boards that are 35 watt TDP with ECC and SFP+, but they’re 4x the price.

I was looking at this mobo for some time, due having v3 cpu and ram laying around, so glad someone finally took the gamble :) Also very interested in pcie bifurcation, ipmi and overall bios features for pci passthrough in proxmox. Does iommu groups separeted properly? Can you passthrough the whole sata controller?

What's that thing beneath the M.2 SSD? Is that a SIM card slot or a micro SD card slot?

amazing board and you really have a lot of 8TB SSDs. wow.

The reason it takes so long to boot up is the motherboard has to check everything, including all of the hardrives and everything that is hooked up, and then the actual boot takes place.

So how are you getting video output from the vga port? I've never heard of a xeon server cpu with an iGPU. Edit: Ok, later in the video, I see ASPEED, which provides basic 2-D graphics for management. Neat. Also, is this BKHD motherboard using an ASMEDIA or JMicron chipset to provide some of the 10 X SATA ports?

SUGGESTION: Make a VENTOY disk for USB3 as fast as you can, with all the ISO files you would need . PS: I used a 128Mb NVMe with external enclosure because I upgraded to 2Tb ones, and it flies when installing or copying from to the computer.

While I on one hand love these Frankenstein Chinese Xeon motherboards I would do a *lot* of testing before I trusted one for a NAS. Miyconst has done a lot of testing of these kinds of boards over the years and I've messed with a few myself and when they work they are generally okish but compared to Super Micro or Asrock Rack you don't get anything like the support (on an old chipset) or reliability, keeping in mind my current NAS runs a V2 CPU in a Tyan board so it's not like I'm against running older hardware. While you do get ECC support you could realistically get some newer hardware second hand for about the same cost and lower TDP but for this particular board the lack of PCIE lanes would be a deal killer for me, that said if it does work for your use case less than $200 for the mb/cpu/ram isn't bad at all assuming it's stable. Also if you hunt around ebay you can find x99 motherboards for some insane prices sometimes, I have 1 I picked up for $30 (supermicro) but like you mentioned you wont get M.2 onboard or other modern IO.

Just put this motherboard combo on order. Wasn't originally going to order the CPU or ram with it but, since it's about the same price as ordering them separately off of eBay i figured why not. The Xeon they're offering was only a few dollars more than the motherboard + RAM.

Anything about Powerdraw in different situations? Idle, SATA Drives attached but in Spindown Mode etc. And it would be great to know, if this Setup is capable of various C-States for Energy saving. What about the SATA-Connectors? Are there Portmultipliers used? Or is every SATA-Port connected to it's own Controllerchannel? The fairly "slow" Reading-Speed of your fast Dataset sounds to me a bit like there could be Port Multipliers.

Idle for my full setup is 70W (see my post for full details). I tried using spindown mode, it reduced idle power by a few watts, however once enabled it seemed to be the cause of an issue powering on the system after shutdown.

I may ask for too much but maybe it's good opportunity to make : "BKHD-C612NP-21 Part II" video with couple more test. Mainly with power consumption, it's quite interesting how does it handle C-states and show it in powertop. Also test with some ProxmoxVE and Unraid (i suppose that Unraid will work just fine if the Ubuntu work without any problem). The next case is Aspeed AST2400 controller, it should be a IPMI controller and support remote console for management for this mobo but it also may just use integrated graphic which is pretty poor even compare with some intel desktop processor integrated graphic. This mobo with some low voltage/TDP Xeon E5-2650LV4 might keep the power consumption in reasonable values - I living in Poland where currenty electricity bills is highest in whole Europe :( So power efficiency is extremely important for people making HomeLAB in my country.

With that CPU I am sure the energy consumption is terrible. Would be worth it though to buy the board with just the CPU and get a different one as well as some ECC memory.

The gotcha with those Xeon motherboards is they take decommissioned server motherboards when businesses replace them and scavenge the chipset for new motherboards. The board is new. The chipset isn't. Also, these are made on a budget, so you're not gonna get the same functionality from a Supermicro, ASRockRACK or similar server motherboards. This motherboard you have uses an Intel C612 chipset, which was discontinued in 2019.
