how much are you spending on that micro Chinese x79 mb? given how limited it is. I would not pay more than $100.

if you were going to pay around $180, I would recommend a Lenovo s30 MB like one of these:

Lenovo Thinkstation S30 Motherboard X79 Rev 2.0 E5-2600V2 Compatible + IO-Shield | eBay

get the socrate v2 if you want to be able to use 2011 v2 or get the slightly cheaper v1 if you only want to run 2011 v1. boot block not upgradable.
this mb has proper 8 ram slots and lots of pci e as well as a legacy pci slot. sadly, the pci e slots are not GeForce sli compatible, only quadro sli compatible.

if size is not a matter i would go with the s30(but it is not new)

look at ebay for similar...

i pay'd $75(+ship) dollar for my tiny motherboard, but you have to use an "agent" for buying at taobao.

Board sleep appears is restricted to S1 sleep... this is what I can expect in win10.

My bios screen is the same as of earlier date. Did you also get s1 sleep by any chance? When I bought the device from XFURBISH, they offered support to ensure a smooth flow of operations for a long time. They are fair in terms of cost and support options.

Xfurbish is found in 4 countries and looking forward to expanding in more countries
Look for refurbished products in UAE.
Look for refurbished products in USA.
Look for refurbished products in India.
Look for refurbished products in Nigeria.
