SHANGZHAOYUAN X99 PR9 Motherboard and DDR4 RAM 8GB*2, LGA 2011-3 Motherboard for Intel Xeon E5 V3 V4 Processors (DDR4 Slot, PCIe 3.0, M.2 Protocol, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0, Gigabit LAN)

working ok for my needs. I have installed it in a coolmaster box with nvidia 1660ti gpu and a xeon e5-2667-v3 cpu and a 700watt psu. will buy again. it came with 32gb 2133mhz ram with heat shields and boots windows from 3x4 m2 nvme ssd. perfectly..

Nice cheap replacement board for LGA 2011 socket. Running an e5 - 2699 v3XEON 18 core as well as 5820k - verified working. Old school BIOS, no nice looking UEFI; will not read all of the RAM I have (have 64 GB only reads 32, likely BIOS limitation); contains no documentation so you have to use online resources to figure it out. Running 1080ti no problem and can game on old school stuff like Oblivion and GTA V easily.

Works like it should. 32 GB of ram shows up. Very happy with this board. Can't beat the price. Wish the white version had a 32gb ram option.

For the money you can't go wrong with this in my opinion. I bought the X99 MR9S model and it works pretty well for me! I paired it with a e-5 2698 v4 and 8x16gb ddr4 2133p ecc server ram. I wanted to make an upgraded server from my previous one while having your standard front panel headers to use a nanoKVM pci-e with it (old server was a dell t410 that has ddr3 and dual xeon x5675). The features/functions on the motherboard are basic. I can't comment on using it for any type of virtualization with it as the server work I do with it is just hosting different instances of game worlds on it via Windows 10 and AMP. The few minor reasons I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because documentation on this motherboard is very broad and does not answer questions other motherboard manufacturers do with theirs, it has very few fan headers (2 four pin and 1 three pin) and even though it includes a JLPCM slot for a TPM module you have to buy an adapter and a gigabyte TPM module to get it to work and if you reboot the computer you have to do a full power cycle unless you solder 2 wires from the TPM to the motherboard since it does not have the reset pins needed to power cycle the TPM properly. If they had included at least 2 more 4 pin fan headers (could have changed the single 3 pin one for a 4 pin) and included the pins for the TPM reset I would have given this a 5 star review. If I could go back to change my mind for another option (and possibly used) I would still purchase this as it is a great value for what you get.

I've bought various x99 boards for different Chinese suppliers from aliexpress, amazon and alibaba and this one is one of the nice looking boards. The board doesn't have any TPM (not even TPM 1.2) but other than that it's a solid board I'm using a Xeon E5 2680 V4 and 64gb ram with a Deepcool assassin cooler and it's a fantastic set up for not too much money. Haven't checked for XMP yet but will update when I do.
