Platform and audience

The HUANANZHI X79-6M V2.0 is an M-ATX motherboard built around the X79 chipset and the LGA 2011 socket. It accepts Intel Xeon E5 processors from the 2620 through 2690 families across C2 and V2 revisions. The board targets builders who want a compact platform for multi-core workstation tasks or server-style workloads without a full-size ATX chassis.

Memory capacity and headroom

Two DDR3 slots operate in dual-channel mode and support speeds of 1866, 1600 and 1333. The official peak is 32 G per module for a total of 64 G, with non-ECC, registered ECC and standard ECC modules all accepted. Storage connectivity covers one SATA 3.0 port, three SATA 2.0 ports and an M.2 slot that handles both NVME and NGFF devices. Expansion includes a PCI-E 3.0 16X slot and a PCI-E 3.0 X1 slot, while integrated graphics are absent so a discrete card is required.

Thermals noise and power draw

The six-layer PCB and a 7-phase power delivery design help manage the demands of high-wattage Xeon CPUs. The supplier notes that the platform needs strong power and recommends at least a 500 W unit. Gigabit Ethernet and ALC662 5.1-channel audio are integrated. The board measures 235 by 185 mm and ships without the CMOS battery due to postal restrictions.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR3 ECC registered modules work in the two memory slots?

The board accepts non-ECC, registered ECC and standard ECC DDR3 up to 32 GB per slot at 1333, 1600 or 1866 MHz.

Does the M.2 slot support NVMe drives or only SATA-based M.2 modules?

The M.2 interface is labelled NVME+NGFF, so both NVMe and SATA-based M.2 drives are supported.

What power supply wattage should I budget for a Xeon E5 build on this board?

The manufacturer notes the platform needs strong power and recommends at least a 500 W unit.
