Great video! I've reviewed a couple other models of these x79 boards. One of them was a modified P75 chipset, the other was actually reading as a genuine x79. It looks like they're using the same BIOS as your board, and these were locked to 3.9GHz as well. I've given the same advice in my videos, as I don't recommend high overclocks on these. Stock or light OC works just fine, but I was also concerned with heat, and the difference between 3.9 and 4.2 just isn't going to be worth toasting a board over.
when are you putting up the ultima map? i bought this board.. and ripped out the heatsink.. and it's a H77 chipset. i think the pulled a flashed a fake bios.
You gotta love how much extra work he puts into his videos like writing with a potato and actual footage of him sneaking his way to his pc aka his true love
I am glad people are still talking about x79. This was my first build back in the day. I just bought what had the biggest number as I didn’t know what I was doing at all. I went from a i7 3820 and later upgraded to a 4960x on eBay for $180 US on eBay. I could have done the 4930k for $30 less but splurged for the laughs. This setup runs at 4.5 ghz on 1.28v stable. On cinebench Single core performance smokes a Ryzen 1600 @ 4 ghz and is really close on multicore. I intend to hold onto this system for a long time.

Hello, I have huanan x79 gaming (orange one). If you want to flash bios use "fpt" tool (afudos doesnt work), it is linked on russian site. I managed to overclock my E5 1650 to 4.0 Ghz on all cores and 4.2 turbo on 1 or 2 cores. 4x4 GB 1600mhz ddr3 from my previous pc easily overclocked to 2133mhz cl12 with russian bios. Key for that is changing power limits options : long dur 210W/time 60, short dur 252W. Orange version has Intel Patsburg C600/X79 chipset. Mine E5 1650 goes up to 155W on CPU Package under aida 64 stress test.
Konrad Matusiak hello, I have a huanan x79 v2.49 motherboard with e5-2680v2 There is a TH-cam video which is showing a step by step bios update with afudos I know that my motherboard can’t be flashed with afudos Could you please send me some instructions on how to use fpt tool and which version of bios to download for my huanan v2.49 motherboard My email is sdim.studio@gmail.com Thank you in advance
You can find instructions for fpt tool on x79.apphb.com/mb/ . Below fpt tool section there is bios list. You need to find matching bios date for your motherboard version and download it. On my motherboard I had to unplug all sata drives in order to boot from usb device.
I have to say, that is a really good motherboard when the second vision. And now the best one support up to 128gb ECC memories with 8 kits and 3 way crossfire, it's so amazing! Although it's a cottage products, but it's convenient and useful!
I'm so glad you came out with this video, as I was thinking of picking up this very board. I may have to re-think that decision and find a different one. Thank you!
I bought one of these, got here this week, I put an i7-4820k (it was a good deal on ebay about 60 GBP), running at 4.3 GHz, couldn't go higher without voltage control, but can't complain for 56 GBP. One great thing about the xeons and the i7-extreme cpu is the 40 PCI-E lanes. A graphics card would max out the 16 lanes of normal core i cpus, and with an other PCI-E card (wifi, sound, usb or whatever) or an NVME drive it would take away from the gpu. Mine has a Q77 chipset, the description on aliexpress you can normally find what chipset to expect, they have two or three, can't choose though.
"The license is a lot cheaper" muy man, this boards don't pay license fees because the chipset is NOT new, is harvested from decomissioned server boards and put into brand new boards.
Im using this for a week with a 2680 v2 and 32gigs ecc ddr3l memory. Works great, mined 48hrs straight on it and few days, and about 18/24hs a day for a few days and works great
Lot of neat boxes in that part of the world. I'm tossing in the Coolman Gorilla, although it's on Taobao. I gotta know what the hell did they create and how are the thermals.
bought the latest huanan x79 deluxe board,,,low temps on stress, oc enabled,,better stability,,updated bios,,,m.2 nvme pcie x4 equipped,,,works like a charm..best value board
Aliexpress has been a life saver lately when it comes to value computer parts. I put together a kit with their cheap 775 mobo (30 usd), Q6600 (10), and 2x4 gb ddr3 (28). Maybe I could get cheaper prices on ebay or whatever, but for a place that tests everything and has easier to manage return policies, it's easier to get more consistent results. Also regarding the mobo, I know I could have picked up a lenovo or OEM board for around 10, but the boards I found that accepted the Q6600 or it's bretheren weren't ATX compatible boards, though they were good options for when the i5s drop in price.
Hey Bryan, if you rip your BIOS and upload it somewhere I can unlock it for you and give you full access.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS i have been wondering if i should buy one of those motherboards, but they werent a major company that makes computer parts. thanks man
Thank I've been looking forward to this review after you did your top 5 cpu's video. I ordered one of the Aliexpress x58 motherboards after watching the video. I've really been looking forward to get my hands on Intel product for a good price and this seems like a good way in.
Dude! I see this fan hack and some of your other zip tie fixes, etc, and I instantly think of the Dodgy Brothers from "Fast Forward". You're dodgy AF, man! But, I love your work, and always look forward to new videos from you.
2:11 It does comes with warenty from Huanan ! the mobo a full 2 years ( because it is new ) , the ( used ) ram 6 months and the CPU 4 weeks ( so test it within 3 weeks ! )
Sometimes you have to tighten the vrm heatsink to MB. And be aware: 1*sata3, 4*sata2, 1*m.2, no raid. CPU cooler mounting holes for 1366 coolers. 64GB of ECC REG and non-ECC supported. 4 CPU+case fans pins. USB 3.0 front panel connectors.
If you're getting some throttling, it's probably not the VRMs, it's probably the default power throttling. When you're in the CPU power section adjusting the maximum core clock, set the short and long term power limits to 255. After doing that my CPU no longer throttled under intense load. VRMs are fine to run at 125 degrees C or lower. The ones that came on my board are decent quality Ubiq VRMs, the same found on many Asus and Zotac products. I have the Runing X79 VB10 so your mileage may vary depending on what board you have.
You think they actually care about license price? The upgraded version of this board uses server verison of the x79 chipset. They are in China, they dont have to worry about licenses and such.
Chinise version of a EVGA board, like the EVGA boards did have the speakers aswell sometimes when you cant post it beeps like hell and if it posts its just like this. i love the noise honestly
my nephew wants to get in to pc gaming (fortnite) and his dad asked me to build him a pc for 100€ so i found a pre build i5 2500 1tb hdd 4 gb ram (will add 4gb more) for 60€ i have my old gt 1030 that i will put in that system. do you guys think it is enough for 2018 ?
if you can atleast here in the US you can usually find i7 2600 prebuilts or i5 3670 prebuilts for around the same price as the i5 2500s... if you can go with that, and if it's really jute for Fortnite and such? sell the 1TB HDD and buy him a small (128-256GB) SSD... It'll be good for running most games at 720p high or 1080p (high for easy titles like esports; medium and low for harder ones)
BATZE 22 it should be fine but you won't be able to play at 1080p with everything cranked up. I would say you should be able to get fortnite to run at 60fps at 1080p low settings. You might have to run it at 900p. Most games should run fine but again you will have to lower settings and resolutions and it might not be able to hit 60fps in most modern games. Older games like arkham city, mirrors edge, etc... should run great.
Depends on what resolution he ( or his screen ) playing at if it's 720p that system should fly but if he has a 1080p or higher resolution monitor then you will need to turn down the eye candy and maybe even use the scaling option ( if it's 1080p then set the scaling around 70% and then that be like a 720p screen resolution ) ! If that is not enough for him then later on you could still upgrade the GPU to a 1050 or 1050 ti if the power supply is good enough !
I’ve got one of these. Honestly, I’m a complete newbie with PC’s but I’m looking to get my head around it all. I open up my tower and just scratch my head
Funny you should mention the power on beeping issue. My good lady hates to hear that noise. It means I am playing games instead of paying attention to her, or doing stuff around the house that she's put on a list. Luckily it can be turned off!
Great video as always! Was going to get one of those at the end of last year, but wasn't too sure about the reliability! Whish your video was out at this moment ahah Hopefully I stumbled upon an asus x79 sabertooth for a really good price on a local listing since, so all good now!
Have an Asus X99 A II, with an extending bios speaker, when booting it beeps too (also have display on the motherboard with error codes if any) but that motherboard doesn't have one (the one your showing) so the beeps will help you troubleshooting in case of an error, old school :-)
The issue with USB generally isn't an issue with selective suspend. It's due to Intel not releasing a USB 3.0 driver for Windows 8 and later, as Microsoft created their own generic USB 3.0 driver, similar to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. On Windows 8.1 and older versions of Windows 10, USB 3.0 is highly problematic on systems with many ports, like higher end X99 motherboards. I found updating Windows 10 to at least 1709 or using a modified Intel USB 3.0 driver fixed all of my USB issues.
Not all Huannan X79 motherboard are the same. I have a Huannan X79 Gaming Deluxe. it uses a true Intel Patsburg C600/Intel Ivy Bridge Chipset. I'm running E5 2680 V2 Standard BIOS Great performance with no need to over clock and VRM temps are okay..
Nice review, but for me as a x 79 user with an intel I7 3960x ( and i'm looking for a new motherboard to replace my current asus rampage 4 one) i would not dare to put my hardware in there. Like you say this will work with server cpu's and slow ddr3 speeds and no oc. I think i'll stay on my current mobo even if i does not support win 10 and some improvement like the HUANAN . I'll still have my 5 ghz oc and quad channel ddr 2400 MHZ. I Just wished there were still some good x79 board available with supported firmware and drivers. There's no reason to upgrade my system due to prices of current hardware and upcoming tech also i want a new cpu line with no patches for vulnerabilities a decade old. My 7-8 year old cpu ( due to the high oc ) has no problem keeping up with a stock 8700 k . My bench test often outperform the stock 8700 k with a ocd gtx 1080 ti . And btw according to intel x 79ex is not affected by the whole specter meltdown stuff ;)
What I see here is a VRM without a way to get airflow. Looks like just a different heatsink would help. Still, used Xeons are quite usable and cheap as chips ...
For a little over $400 on Newegg you could get yourself a modern amd platform with a 6 core r5 1600 and 16gigs of DDR4 memory...hard to see the value in a much older platform when you can get so much more performance, support and modern features with Ryzen.
I was really wondering why there aren't more actually good and working chinese pc parts. They managed not only to copy western technology like smart phnes and action cameras but surpassed our technology. Theres a very interesting documentary about shenzen, their tech hub. So I really hope they come out with pc tech to create more competition and more supply to the other companies out there. Prices of pc parts have become riddicoulous for average consumers
the price isn't that much different because many of these parts are already made in china, so one from a chinese brand isn't going to be much cheaper, and of course the cpu are intel or amd since no one else make a competitive x86 cpu for general computing. though china did just recently managed to set up shop and make ddr4 memory, so here's hoping memory prices come down soon.
Motherboard makers still needs to buy a chipset and license from Intel and AMD. The chipset isn’t just a semiconductor component they can copy and build on their own. Smartphone makers however can just buy an ARM Snapdragon chip and design their device around it. Android OS is free and open source. Action Cams like the Go Pro is easy to reverse engineer. They’ll just write their own custom software firmware to copy the functionality of a Go Pro.
@@mxn1948 thats more or less true, you can buy extremly many different cpus from different manufacturers they are 64bit-x86 but they are just above quallcom level performance.
@@iMadrid11 they only will if its amd or intel, and they obviously could create a new chipset, nvidia did so when via was dying and did take their part in intels rigs and im not too sure but i think in amd based systems too, and it wasnt allways AMI bioses but with the change of chipsets from the manufacturer and dying of the brands like msi who did make their money through that (though they recovered quite well) american megatrends did rescue themselves the right to write a few of the many lines of code in each chipset and bios each time
One of the really nice things is anyone can have these imported quite easily, making it a prime choice where people would otherwise be stuck with an expensive new or used market.
Exactly, not everyone lives in USA or UK, so availability and prices always were concern. Well, not now with cheap parts with free shipping worldwide :-)
I'm not convinced though. I've gotten slapped with massive import tax twice now, once from the USA and once from Japan I believe.

Congratulations, you are now allowed to watch Rick and Morty.
Elias Howe my pleasure
IT'S OVER 9000!
If you're getting some throttling, it's probably not the VRMs, it's probably the default power throttling. When you're in the CPU power section adjusting the maximum core clock, set the short and long term power limits to 255. After doing that my CPU no longer throttled under intense load. VRMs are fine to run at 125 degrees C or lower. The ones that came on my board are decent quality Ubiq VRMs, the same found on many Asus and Zotac products. I have the Runing X79 VB10 so your mileage may vary depending on what board you have.
Could you do a video like this with a cheap Mainboard with the 1366 socket?
USB issues I had were related to the driver. I had to download the Hunan driver from their site.
same for kllisre product. USB port issue
Oh, Brian, don't search for the love. Love will find you anyway!
BTW Great vid, always, was curious about this ali's motherboards/
You think they actually care about license price? The upgraded version of this board uses server verison of the x79 chipset. They are in China, they dont have to worry about licenses and such.
Very Good video Brian. Keep ir up with the Good work. Regards.
this chill vieo is like 10 times better your other ones, where you playing around
Chinise version of a EVGA board, like the EVGA boards did have the speakers aswell sometimes when you cant post it beeps like hell and if it posts its just like this. i love the noise honestly
Maybe you could try to build a pc for 1155 socket. The prices are great and I think people would like to see that build.
Cheers bro, great video :D
Easily the best tech channel
Thanks for the review, the reality is this thing is an electrical heater, good for winter but not for now.
Would you need a cooler for the heatsink if you are not overclocking?
my nephew wants to get in to pc gaming (fortnite) and his dad asked me to build him a pc for 100€ so i found a pre build i5 2500 1tb hdd 4 gb ram (will add 4gb more) for 60€ i have my old gt 1030 that i will put in that system. do you guys think it is enough for 2018 ?
if you can atleast here in the US you can usually find i7 2600 prebuilts or i5 3670 prebuilts for around the same price as the i5 2500s... if you can go with that, and if it's really jute for Fortnite and such? sell the 1TB HDD and buy him a small (128-256GB) SSD... It'll be good for running most games at 720p high or 1080p (high for easy titles like esports; medium and low for harder ones)
BATZE 22 it should be fine but you won't be able to play at 1080p with everything cranked up. I would say you should be able to get fortnite to run at 60fps at 1080p low settings. You might have to run it at 900p. Most games should run fine but again you will have to lower settings and resolutions and it might not be able to hit 60fps in most modern games. Older games like arkham city, mirrors edge, etc... should run great.
thank you guys for the help he just told me he wants to play fortnite and hello neighbours what i think will run perfect for him (he is 12)
It's enough for Fortnite. That plays damn near on a potato.
Depends on what resolution he ( or his screen ) playing at if it's 720p that system should fly but if he has a 1080p or higher resolution monitor then you will need to turn down the eye candy and maybe even use the scaling option ( if it's 1080p then set the scaling around 70% and then that be like a 720p screen resolution ) ! If that is not enough for him then later on you could still upgrade the GPU to a 1050 or 1050 ti if the power supply is good enough !
I’ve got one of these. Honestly, I’m a complete newbie with PC’s but I’m looking to get my head around it all. I open up my tower and just scratch my head
sounds like the older intel dg41 boards that I still have floating around at work
I fixed the vrm temps. I glued the huge heatsinks who came with my arctic accelero hybrid III. Cheap thermal pads on huanan x79.
There is NO way I'm dating, or marrying, a woman who won't me game. lol Great vid!
I was waiting for this badly
I'v got huanan v2.46. Using it over the year with my e5 1650 4.2 ghz. All is ok. My kit with motherboard + cpu + 32 ram is about 280 $.
loved that sneaky part 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This motherboard, xeon and 16gb ram you show cost the same as a i5 8400 alone in my country. Really worth it
For the alliance!
Now they are selling HUANAN X79 with real x79 chipset, you can overclock, and quad channel memory is working
did you have purchased one of them ? links ?
Funny you should mention the power on beeping issue. My good lady hates to hear that noise.
It means I am playing games instead of paying attention to her, or doing stuff around the house that she's put on a list.
Luckily it can be turned off!
Are the FX systems still relavant for budget gaming? Like the FX8350? Maybe combined with older AMD graphics cards like the Radeon R5 and R7 series?
"Maybe combined with older AMD graphics card" read your own shit!
bent540 hahahaha, true
Fx is still shit might as well go with an old 2500k
Great video as always! Was going to get one of those at the end of last year, but wasn't too sure about the reliability! Whish your video was out at this moment ahah
Hopefully I stumbled upon an asus x79 sabertooth for a really good price on a local listing since, so all good now!
They are the best you can buy cheap!
beep ... beep ... oh shit!
man, you and i lived the same lives!!
THIS XEON IN OVERCLOCK ON 4.7GHZ !!!!! OMG
Have an Asus X99 A II, with an extending bios speaker, when booting it beeps too (also have display on the motherboard with error codes if any) but that motherboard doesn't have one (the one your showing) so the beeps will help you troubleshooting in case of an error, old school :-)
Excellent video !
So great "trying to be a Sneaky Ninja".
The issue with USB generally isn't an issue with selective suspend. It's due to Intel not releasing a USB 3.0 driver for Windows 8 and later, as Microsoft created their own generic USB 3.0 driver, similar to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. On Windows 8.1 and older versions of Windows 10, USB 3.0 is highly problematic on systems with many ports, like higher end X99 motherboards. I found updating Windows 10 to at least 1709 or using a modified Intel USB 3.0 driver fixed all of my USB issues.
Try to take out the vrm heatsink to change thermal paste with some quality one.
I hope that will help, as well as some lapping to remove any paint
i don't understand how you don't have 10 mil subs yet.
Thanks for doing this review and for the confirmation that these HUANAN boards lack a bit of quality to sustain decent overcklocks.
LOL the blower scene made me like and subscribe
just what I was looking for!
Was just looking into getting one of these!
Why don't i see any b350 boards on newegg for am4 sockets?
Not all Huannan X79 motherboard are the same. I have a Huannan X79 Gaming Deluxe. it uses a true Intel Patsburg C600/Intel Ivy Bridge Chipset. I'm running E5 2680 V2 Standard BIOS Great performance with no need to over clock and VRM temps are okay..
Can you make an updated video regarding chinese X99 Huananzhi boards for 2020?
Nice review, but for me as a x 79 user with an intel I7 3960x ( and i'm looking for a new motherboard to replace my current asus rampage 4 one) i would not dare to put my hardware in there. Like you say this will work with server cpu's and slow ddr3 speeds and no oc. I think i'll stay on my current mobo even if i does not support win 10 and some improvement like the HUANAN . I'll still have my 5 ghz oc and quad channel ddr 2400 MHZ. I Just wished there were still some good x79 board available with supported firmware and drivers. There's no reason to upgrade my system due to prices of current hardware and upcoming tech also i want a new cpu line with no patches for vulnerabilities a decade old. My 7-8 year old cpu ( due to the high oc ) has no problem keeping up with a stock 8700 k . My bench test often outperform the stock 8700 k with a ocd gtx 1080 ti . And btw according to intel x 79ex is not affected by the whole specter meltdown stuff ;)
Could you try looking into those Msi laptops on alibaba, Some of them goes for like $400-500 each. Thanks mate!
Don't , they are rubbish , if it's not a titan MSI don't get it.
HAYDER AL-AKAM Yep! I got myself a Clevo P170SM instead with a 4700MQ and HD 8970M 4GB.
That 4700MQ is still nice
What I see here is a VRM without a way to get airflow. Looks like just a different heatsink would help. Still, used Xeons are quite usable and cheap as chips ...
Could you do a video of how you did the OC on this case? I'm very attempted to buy this kit from Ali.
For a little over $400 on Newegg you could get yourself a modern amd platform with a 6 core r5 1600 and 16gigs of DDR4 memory...hard to see the value in a much older platform when you can get so much more performance, support and modern features with Ryzen.
Would that still support standard ddr3 1600 non-ecc? Would love to get a 6core microatx build for a friend and ddr3 is a little cheaper
are you for the alliance? lol love your vids!!
I don't think they meant for it to be water-cooled in the first place, so i think placing a standard cpu cooler would work.
I was really wondering why there aren't more actually good and working chinese pc parts. They managed not only to copy western technology like smart phnes and action cameras but surpassed our technology. Theres a very interesting documentary about shenzen, their tech hub. So I really hope they come out with pc tech to create more competition and more supply to the other companies out there. Prices of pc parts have become riddicoulous for average consumers
the price isn't that much different because many of these parts are already made in china, so one from a chinese brand isn't going to be much cheaper, and of course the cpu are intel or amd since no one else make a competitive x86 cpu for general computing. though china did just recently managed to set up shop and make ddr4 memory, so here's hoping memory prices come down soon.
Motherboard makers still needs to buy a chipset and license from Intel and AMD. The chipset isn’t just a semiconductor component they can copy and build on their own.
Smartphone makers however can just buy an ARM Snapdragon chip and design their device around it. Android OS is free and open source.
Action Cams like the Go Pro is easy to reverse engineer. They’ll just write their own custom software firmware to copy the functionality of a Go Pro.
@@mxn1948 thats more or less true, you can buy extremly many different cpus from different manufacturers they are 64bit-x86 but they are just above quallcom level performance.
@@iMadrid11 they only will if its amd or intel, and they obviously could create a new chipset, nvidia did so when via was dying and did take their part in intels rigs and im not too sure but i think in amd based systems too, and it wasnt allways AMI bioses but with the change of chipsets from the manufacturer and dying of the brands like msi who did make their money through that (though they recovered quite well) american megatrends did rescue themselves the right to write a few of the many lines of code in each chipset and bios each time
10:10 😂🤣😂 kick her out matey 😂🤣😂
That noise though just reminds me of my dad's old PC
Hi Brian will you try to review the new x79 from huanan??? They say they fixed heating problem and has a better bios.
