Green E-ATX board with dual LGA 2011 sockets and twelve memory slots

HUANANZHI

HUANANZHI X99 F8D Intel motherboard with dual Xeon E5-2696 V3

SKU CH-7E4Q-6C8R3

Dual-socket E-ATX board with two Xeon E5-2696 V3 CPUs, 36 cores, 8 DDR4 slots, C612 chipset, 12 power phases and M.2 NVMe

  • CPU socketLGA 2011
  • Dual 18-core Xeon E5-2696 V3 deliver 36 threads for heavy multitasking
  • Eight DDR4 slots support up to 32 GB quad-channel memory at 2400 MHz
  • M.2 22110 NVME slot provides PCIe 3.0 x4 storage bandwidth
  • Ten SATA 3.0 ports plus four SSATA connections for high-density drive arrays
  • 12-layer PCB with 12-phase power supply ensures stable dual-CPU operation

Dual Xeon E5-2696 V3 Workstation Board

This HUANANZHI X99 F8D motherboard arrives with two Xeon E5-2696 V3 processors already installed. Each CPU delivers 18 cores and 36 threads at a 2.3 GHz base frequency with 45 MB of L3 cache. The 12-layer PCB and 12-phase power design feed the dual LGA 2011-3 sockets through 24-pin plus dual 8-pin connectors.

Suited For Multi-Threaded Server Builds

The platform targets users who need 36 combined cores for virtualisation, rendering or scientific workloads and who can accommodate an E-ATX board measuring 300 by 320 mm. Builders requiring modern consumer features such as integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or higher single-thread speeds should consider a different platform.

Eight-Channel DDR4 Capacity Decides Fit

Eight DDR4 slots support four-channel operation at 1866, 2133 and 2400 MHz with a maximum population of 8 x 32 GB modules. If your workload demands more memory channels or a newer memory standard, this board will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the board is running both Xeon E5-2696 V3 processors at their 2.3 GHz base frequency after assembly?

Enter the BIOS on first boot and confirm both CPUs are detected with 18 cores and 36 threads each showing 2.3 GHz; then run a multi-threaded stress test in the OS and watch all 36 threads hold the rated speed without throttling.

What components are included in the combo kit and what must I source separately to complete a working system?

The kit supplies the X99 F8D motherboard and two Xeon E5-2696 V3 CPUs; you must add DDR4 ECC memory modules up to 8 × 32 GB, an M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD, a graphics card for the PCIe x16 slots, a power supply with 24-pin plus dual 8-pin CPU connectors, and a chassis that fits the 300 × 320 mm E-ATX board.

Which memory configuration should I choose to get the full four-channel bandwidth this board supports?

Populate all eight DDR4 slots with identical 1866, 2133 or 2400 MHz modules — for example eight 16 GB or eight 32 GB sticks — so the quad-channel controller can interleave across the 8 DIMMs and deliver maximum throughput.
