Cheap chinese x79 mobos

[fossxplorer]

I.e we would be able to do SR-IOV to KVM guests? Would be really nice if anyone can confirm that.

Mine do (I have boards from Killsre, Huananxhi and Jingsha).

Sorry to bring back up a dead thread, but do these chinese boards support intel VT-D?

yes, but only if your CPU does support VT-D.

I actually got my money and got to keep the motherboard as well. I'm not using it but I figure I'll try to make S3 sleep work somehow. I got the BIOS that Gamers Nexus did the test on this motherboard and it fixed nothing. Was hoping someone found a solution. What's important is that I tried. I may replace a FX8350 for this but I'm not sure if losing S3 sleep is worth it.

dumb question, why are these boards so expensive?
And by "expensive" I mean... like $80?

I have a 2630v2 chip and some DDR3 laying around, but that's too much money to pay just for laughs. Are there truly cheap ones out there?

Its a valid question, I think part of it was chip shortage and supply chain. Now its just inflated prices, hard to just buying 10+ year old tech when modern CPU deals can be had for near the same cost and much better single threaded performance and lower power

Hi,

I got an Atermiter X79 Turbo. Is this Motherboard capable to use UEFI?

 

[RolloZ170]

Atermiter X79 Turbo

should be same than PLEXHD X79 Turbo ( Vakind, Eastvita, Aterminer, Kllisre, PlexHD )

Can I flash the BIOS of the plexhd on the Atermiter?

 

[RolloZ170]

Can I flash the BIOS of the plexhd on the Atermiter?

why ? should be the same BIOS if same revision and chipset.

 

[[Nobody]]

I can't find a bios for the Atermiter, that's why.

I can't find a bios for the Atermiter, that's why.

but there is a BIOS on it right ? or does it not POST ? please some more information.

It runs since ~6 month fine with proxmox or truenas scale @UEFI with a Dell H310 and without gpu. I wanted to replace the H310 with a HP H240. With this Card installed it stuck at Post with Code 92. I even deactivated CSM, but nothing. Without a GPU it doesn't even beep anymore. Replacing the H240 with the H310 again everything ist fine again

h310 is PCIe 2.0
H240 is PCIe 3.0
try to set this PCIe slot manualy to pcie 2 (not AUTO)

Why? I want the H240 because it is PCIe 3.0

you see don't work ! have you Ivy-Bridge CPU ? chipset and Board rev. still unknown.
if it still don't work with set to PCIe 2.0 we can try other things.

I have a E5-2630 V2. chipset is afaik a Q79, however, the upper two ports are connected to the CPU.

Q79 does not exists? check CPU-Z or HWinfo.
PlexHD X79T use Q77 B75 chipset, the BIOS may not work with other chipset then.

try setting the target Slot of the H240 to PCIe 2.0 manualy(not AUTO).
then check with the H240. if it works, set the target Slot to PCIe 3.0 manualy(not AUTO) and check again.

 

[[Nobody]]

The chipset is a B75. Setting it to PCIe 2.0 didn't solve it.

The problem was: I had to disable " Launch disk controller (or something like that) OpROM Policy". After that it worked like a charm
thank you for your help

 

[RolloZ170]

I had to disable " Launch disk controller (or something like that) OpROM Policy".

thought this is changed automaticaly by set UEFI-Boot.
anyway, nice you got it to work
