5:18 you can get a refund for that if you open a dispute
9:26 this is because of win10 fast bootup
turn it off and try again
I really hope this bootleg mobo makers will fix their shiiiet, theres alot of used cpus flooding the market and cheap ddr3s, not everyone can buy top of the line pc parts. there will always be plebs(like me) who would settle for a steady 30 fps game
With that price, you can buy know brand motherboards
Low quality vrm, surprised it booted with a i7 at all.
It's actually a Msata slot, I actually got this motherboard to use for a 4core Xeon and I noticed gpus don't overclock correctly
The Lowest you can go is ASRock
Most people I know have already scraped their home desktops. Some others have put them up for sale on used sites but there aren't much buyers for desktops anymore. So far laptops have managed to survive the disruption brought by android phones.
Bought a LGA1366 Mobo from China, only thing that annoys me is that it only has 100mbit ethernet. But actually a great deal considering LGA1366 CPUs are very cheap and still capable.
No EFI?
I think the WHEA uncorrectable errors are due to the bad Intel microcode update for spectre.
Another Intel 6x chipset board, best to avoid. Stick to the 7x chipsets.
That stuff has a lot of compatibility problems with ram dimms and cpus…
I bought the S1155 Board some time ago. The PWM bug and the layout are serious negativ points for me. On the other side, i installed windows 10 pro just to benchmark this board. Windows got activated without any key input…
any recommendations for i7 2600? I'd like micro atx or itx but as long as it doesnt cost much.
Damn can´t the Chinese not do anything properly? At least make something that is fully functional and not only cheap.
if i have to tell you what i think, is that you answered your own video honestly .
Well, assuming you can buy a mobo for your not so old processor, sure you'll be better with branded mobos. Problem is that in most of the non 1st world you cant! Prices on discontinued mobos are sky high, so this chinese mobos, with all their quirks and stuff, are a great, cheap option
Ty so much for your review, saved me from buying this, and +1 liked your content.
lol $50 😀 I paid for a brand new asus hm81-k $45 back in sep 2014. Can't believe they're still selling them for this much
make a clear statement.
if if not even supports Turbo boost, it's just not a true 1156/1151 board, as this is a min requirement!
alpha status board.
8x vs 16x couldn't save that much power to be a real reason, could it?
Thank you very much for this review..kinda needed it. Will definitely go for a branded
Thank you Phil for sacrificing yourself on this, this saved me a lot of money for even considering this as one of my options – now I'll just look for an ASUS 1156 motherboard.
It might be picky about ram. This used to be really common. try memtest86
thanks for this video dude. 🙂
i did buy an unbranded 1155 motherboard and they worked fine with 16gb
Jeez I bought a used ASrock P67 Extreme 6 (1155) of eBay for 66€ (around 75 USD) here in Germany back in 2012. Running a Xeon E1220 v1 it still feals pretty decend and works fantastic. Hardware became expensive with the rising of mobile devices…..
Is ecs h61h2-mV worth? I bought it for only 25 $?
I suppose the market is limited, but it would be good if they started building clone boards for old platforms that we could use for dos gaming, complete with ISA slots and the whole bit. In any case, $50 is not a good deal. I just bought an Asrock ab450 pro4 AM4 board for ryzen for $60US on a special.
