    It turns out that I have missed one very important detail: X99-MR9A Pro has 8 phases VRM while X99-MR9A non-Pro has only 6 phases. The MOSFETs are and their configuration is identical between the motherboards.

    For around $50-60, these boards still represent a fairly good value when paired with a well priced v3 Xeon. It's just harder and harder to recommend paying $100-150 on the Xeon v3 platforms when used Ryzen is also fairly affordable. The big attraction for me is dual x16 slots AND dual NVMe drives with 40 PCIE lane v3 CPUs

    Techyescity also mentioned this in machinist motherboards. Unlocking turbo boost is a pain in the butt cheeks. You have to double the step and there's a chance that the bios may break.

      @@Miyconst I've installed all Windows updates and optional also.
      I'll flash back the original BIOS and try and return it.
      But I'll also make sure it isn't a compatibility issue with my GPU being too new.
      I did however to get all drivers installed need to use PowerShell to install them in bulk as the second a program seems to state "your device needs a restart to complete installation" the PC immediately reboots.
      Might even be the PSU perhaps as it keeps stating "PC has woke from low power state" or along those lines.
      Troubleshooting... Such a pain

    • @Andre-uf9lj
      @Andre-uf9lj 8 месяцев назад +1

      It depends on the game. But on 1440p ur most likely to be GPU bottlenecked. I would suggest the E5 2680v3, pretty decent Xeon i think.

    • @Miyconst
      @Miyconst  8 месяцев назад

      It really depends on your budget and wishes. In general, the higher resolution is the stronger GPU you need.

    • @-_-DatDude
      @-_-DatDude 8 месяцев назад +1

      If you're going to build a Xeon gaming rig, prioritise higher clock speeds and high single thread performance over insanely high core counts bro. Its also worth mentioning that most games don't benefit from the level of multithreading peformance that the 12 core,14 core, 16 core, 18 core, 20 core and 22 core Xeons were designed for. I made the mistake of buying a 2698 v3.😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
      What the X99 community wont tell you, is a lot of the higher core, low clock rate CPUs more or less requires you to flash your bios and undervolt your CPU so all cores are in turbo mode for optimal gaming. Undervolting and flashing your bios is not something a first time PC builder should be worrying about imo.
      The post is getting long so I will state my recommendation...Go for a 1650v4 or go 1660v4 if you are obsessed with more cores. Anything else and its more of a workstation than a gaming rig.

      @@Miyconst In fairness, the higher core V3 CPUs that you tested were either overclocked or you flashed your motherboard to enable turbo on all cores. So its not the fairest test as you cant do the same on the V4's. It's worth mentioning that not everyone is as confident or as skilled as you are at tuning their rigs as you are mate.
      I'm purely talking about out of the box performance here mate. The out of the box clock speeds are too slow 🐌 on the higher core Xeons for gaming. Im not going to be disrespectful and mention other RUclips channels on here but let's just say I've seen other videos on RUclips were the 1600's V4s consistently beats the other Xeons *WITHOUT TUNING* in most games that are more optimised for GPU.

      Im using a MR9A PRO, 2680V4, 32GB quad-channel. The problem is that my onboard network card can't reach gigabit speed (capped at 10 Mb/s). I'm using proxmox but already tried install windows 11, mint and pop-os. If a connect other machine on same setup (router+cable) It reaches gigabit speed.

    Three flaws:
    1- It doesn't specify it in its description, but of the two M.2 ports it has, one is NVMe and the other is SATA.
    2- The sound card delivers terrible audio, and the front 3.5 jack doesn't work for me.
    3- The small VRM fan starts to hum very annoyingly after a while, you have to buy a few 30x30x7mm Brushless fans in advance.
    The M.2 ports don't surprise me, they should be clearly specified. I've tried audio drivers but I haven't been able to do it.
    Two years with it.

    • @Miyconst
      @Miyconst  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, the older revisions had one SATA and one NVMe slot, the newer ones come with two NVMe. The sound card and the VRM fan are sadly just poor quality of your unit. AliExpress is a lottery, as I always say.
