so I wanted to relax a little bit this weekend maybe even get a haircut not like I need one or anything with Maya you found tool here the ESD data vac blower and I was getting inundated with requests to take a look at this x79 WAN and motherboard off Aliexpress you guys are spamming me on Twitter Facebook messages in the comment sections on my videos so I knew I had to get this video out straight away it got pushed to the top of the queue now you can get this board for around about a hundred and ten dollars off I'll Express standalone and it'll support x79 Zeon's and that's the good thing about these Zeon's especially with the e5 1650 is that it supports ddr3 registered that's the difference between this and the 3930k similar CPUs similar performance exactly the same performance at the same clocks but you do get that support for that ddr3 registered now ddr3 register memory is very cheap especially compared to your normal ddr3 and your overpriced ddr4 memory that's what's starting to make this kit look appealing as well as the fact that you can get it from a whole kit which is what I did for around about three hundred thirty dollars you get the e five sixteen fifty sixteen gigabytes of memory and this motherboard shipped to your door and the good thing about it is the Aliexpress sellers will even mark it down for you without you asking so if you've got very strict custom laws and you're beginning this thing in without paying too much import taxes though your mileage may vary so be careful on that so what we've got here is if you want to - I'll mention quickly you can go out and pick up the individual parts for probably cheaper I managed to pull up some eBay listings CPU is around about a hundred bucks motherboards 110 could get some memory for 60 bucks so you can save yourself around about sixty US dollars if you bought the parts individually of course if you live in places like the US Australia for example you can go out and buy a Rison five sixteen hundred comes with a cooler this doesn't come with a cooler by the way you can get 16 gigabytes of ddr4 memory 170 bucks and a be 350 motherboard for $90 that brings that total to four hundred and fifty dollars that's brand-new that comes with warranty this generally doesn't come with warranty it'll only come with what the Aliexpress guarantees are which I think is like three months but no it was all that aside let's take a look at the overclocking the ins and outs the flaws and the good things about this I'll Express motherboard welcome back to tech SC this is brand coming to you guys today with that video on the one and motherboard's now this is the only x79 one a motherboard I've had comes through here I haven't had an x58 motherboard come through this is the only one I've had to come through but I'm guessing the formula is gonna be similar all across the board the first thing I noticed is that they're using a h77 chipset on this motherboard somehow they managed to get quad channel memory working which is a good thing because quad channel memory is going to make this platform more relevant especially compared to dual channel it makes the speeds and the bandwidth similar to that of for instance dual channel ddr3 200 megahertz at 1600 megahertz quad channel ddr3 that's one of the benefits of it but how they push that through h77 chipset I got no idea and the reason they go with that h77 chipset is twofold first of all the license is a lot cheaper than an x79 chipset license the second thing is the h77 chipset license of course is not overclockable and that's running a benefit for the people making these motherboards because they aren't putting the best vrm on them that means that they can get away with saving money on the license and also capping the overclocks and that's one thing about this board it will cap the 1650 to 3.9 gigahertz that's what I found I went into the boss it reminded me of a server blast you did have the options there to change some settings on the memory you could force that up to 1866 but again that depends on the kit of memory you get I managed to get my memory to 1600 megahertz across four sticks this is unregistered memory which is pretty good the performance was really good in games and I will say this straight away if you're looking for a gaming machine on a budget and you live in a remote area and things are overpriced where you are this will serve you well for a decent gaming build performance an overwatch was very smooth performance in Vulcan Wolfenstein 2 was very smooth as well I did notice the clock speeds in Wolfenstein were going down depending on the CPU load and same with overwatch 2 but let's get on with the biggest point that I'm going to stress if you want to buy this thing and that is the vrm temperatures they were incredibly hot and this is its stock settings - if you're getting this thing please do me a favor and put a on that vrm heatsink when I didn't have a fan on it even at the stock settings out of the box I was getting over a hundred degrees from the readings when I put the overclocks on and put a fan on it now I know it's a little bit of a weird situation I had but it's just a quick fix put a 20-centimeter fan on it and the temperatures dropped around 40 degrees on the heatsink I think and 20 degrees on the vrm and this was overclocked stock settings was even a little bit better so I was now I'd be to get my CPU to 3.9 gigahertz but I also did it with keeping the VM a lot cooler so if you want to keep this thing for a couple of years which I'm guessing you will want to keep it for a couple of years if you're buying a combo like this then please do get a 12 into 12-centimeter fan just silicon it over that heatsink get something worked out because you will want some vrm cooling on this motherboard anyway onto another question what about the Russian custom bias is going around putting them on one of these will you be able to extract more overclock 4.2 gigahertz for example and the answer in my case was I couldn't get it to work no matter what I did I downloaded the Russian boss for it tried flashing it with alpha dose it would just freeze every time I tried different versions of alpha dose just froze every time so I couldn't get a custom BIOS on this thing and I'm guessing that's why they've made this reiteration of this motherboard because they don't want people overclocking these motherboards they're just simply in my opinion not really capable of high overclocks and if they do get these motherboards in if people do get these motherboards in and overclock them and they break them and it's still under the Aliexpress warranty the seller generally will have to bear the brunt so I'm guessing that was the big request to lock these bosses out now you may be able to get it out with a custom boss flashing tool manually and flash it but that's a lot of work and I'm guessing the average guy out there who just wants to get one of these kids it's not gonna be able to do it I do have this custom tool I just haven't learned I haven't spent much time with it at the moment to learn how to work it it but anyway there it is BRM make sure you get a fan over the heatsink also with your CPU you are limited to a 3.9 Giga it's overclocked on the e5 1650 and I believe this will scale even though I've only got only one and motherboard here I believe this is going to be the trend throughout all the wine on motherboards they're not the best motherboards they are we made with budget in mind and also the sellers do want to make a profit and that's understandable so you're going to generally see a trend across x58 boards as well where you're going to be limited in your overclocking with these motherboards I would guess that the best combos would probably be those fixed Zeon's with no overclocking they are really good value and they will couple well with these motherboards but anyone and motherboard after seeing what I saw here with the vrm I'd be putting a fan on it regardless of the model so now for the temperature chest I did do over half an hour even up to an hour on most my stress tests changing things around and the maxed pool I could get was 125 watts now on the bass it is rated up to 130 watts and on this particular bus I can't change that no matter what so they've definitely custom set this BIOS to limit those overclocks not only on the multiplier itself but also on the power distribution so if you do get unlucky and you do get a bad deal on an e5 1650 you may not even be able to get to 3.9 Giga it's I'm just not sure because the voltage does go up to one point two eight volts on the core and you can't change that no matter what you do so you're overclocking options are limited but at 3.9 gigahertz with a fan on the heatsink it does run really well so for the Cinebench scores you're getting around about 990 points that's the most I can get with the overclock 23.92 it's out of the box will be around 880 so it is decent performance and it will play today's games very well the sandy bridges are still very relevant in 2018 especially if you're coupling it with mid-range graphics cards in this case I had a 780ti which is a very good used graphics card if you want a couple of with something like this you'll have an excellent combo for gaming also other things with this motherboard you get two SATA cables included the faceplate and I will say that these are some of these shortest SATA cables I've seen in my life also if you are tuning this thing make sure you turn off USB selectively suspend in the power options I noticed when it turns off the USB ports and then you get turn them back on again you get this very weird stuttering problem it's something that's really annoying also when I was transferring files I don't know if it was that USB Selective setting I believe it was but the files were coming to a pause as well so really turn that setting off may even want to turn off the PCIe power link setting as well just make sure that's off to get smooth performance though one cool thing for those guys who love retro and retro noises when you boot this thing up it makes this real 1980s computer sound so it's I like it I personally think it's a cool thing I'll let you guys take a quick listen but it could be a double-edged sword and the reason I say is is in the past I have you know had a girl who you know it's just they hate you playing video games and so you know you wake up at midnight do a little sneak jump on the computer you know headphones on everything try to be a ninja but if you've got this noise there is buddy buddy bleep she's gonna hear that and she's gonna wake up and go off at you so that is the double-edged sword with this motherboard and that noise I'm not even sure if you can turn it off in the BIOS I haven't really checked that because I'd actually like it in my current situation so though before I get on out of here quick recap with the x79 one and motherboard and the kit that I got at least 16 gigabytes quad-channel pumped memory 516 50 goes up to 3.9 gigahertz motherboard that does support both of these though you will want to put a fan on that heatsink own and I keep stressing that there are some positives there are some negatives to it you will need to get your own CPU cooler as well so make sure you do that when you get this I do recommend the VT g5 if you're in a remote area great value for money of course there's being good value for money if you're in a remote area may want to consider going out and buying new if you're in a country like the US or the UK just weigh up your options though it is a solid option for what it is if you're getting into PC gaming does have nvme to support as well does have a USB front out header and the sellers they will mark it down for you and they do pre test it as well to make sure everything's working so there are the benefits the negatives as well I pointed them out through all doubt the video so there it all is I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you did them assure to slap that like button if you have any requests then be sure to drop a Co in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and you probably noticed all these graphics cards on the table here I will be making that you used graphics card guide for 2018 in this current crypto currency of poeple apocalypse a popular pop player that anyway I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye obviously you're getting a Cinebench score of around about a thousand point getting a Cinebench score of up around it you're getting a Cinebench score of around about a thousand points you're getting a Cinebench score that goes up to around about a thousand points so you are getting a little bit of extra mileage there so let's the start of my weekend and I wanted to relax a little bit and maybe even get a haircut no not an aide one
