YINGHUA X99 Dual CPU Server Motherboard LGA2011 2×E5-2609 V3

Dual LGA2011 server board with two E5-2609 V3 CPUs

This motherboard pairs an Intel X99 chipset with two LGA2011 sockets and ships with a matched pair of E5-2609 V3 processors. It targets builders who need a ready-to-run dual-CPU platform for multi-threaded server workloads without sourcing CPUs separately. Eight DDR4 slots accept ordinary or ECC modules up to 32 GB each at 2133, 2400 or 2800 MT/s.

Upgrades single-socket X99

Moving from a single-socket X99 board doubles the physical CPU count and the available memory channels, which benefits virtualization hosts and render farms that scale across cores. The jump is worth it when the workload can use the extra threads and the memory capacity of sixteen DIMM slots across two boards is not required. Six SATA 3.0 ports and two PCIe x16 slots carry over existing storage and add-in cards.

Limited to PCIe-only M.2 and 100 Mbit Ethernet

The single M.2 slot labelled M.2 supports PCIe signalling only, so SATA-based M.2 drives will not function in that slot. A second M.1 slot accepts both PCIe and SATA M.2 devices, giving one flexible option for solid-state storage. Network connectivity is provided by a Realtek 8106E or 8111H controller capped at 100 Mbit/s, which restricts throughput for modern network-attached storage or backup tasks.
