  • Four-channel DDR3 up to 1866 MHz feeds memory-hungry applications
  • Two M.2 slots with NVMe and SATA support fast storage expansion
  • 12-phase power on a 12-layer PCB delivers stable voltage to both CPUs
  • Ten SATA 3.0 ports plus dual gigabit LAN connect drives and networks

Dual Xeon workstation board

The HUANANZHI T8D X99 motherboard ships with two Xeon E5 2696 V3 processors installed. Each CPU provides 18 cores and 36 threads at 2.3 GHz base frequency. The LGA 2011-3 platform targets multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, virtualization and scientific compute.

Sustained load behaviour

A 12-layer PCB and 12-phase power delivery feed both sockets through 24-pin and dual 8-pin connectors. Four-channel DDR3 runs at 1866, 1600 or 1333 MHz with ECC support across eight slots. The C612-series chipset handles 6 SATA 3.0 and 4 SSATA 3.0 ports without throttling under continuous I/O.

Installation notes

The E-ATX form factor measures 300 by 320 mm and requires a compatible chassis. Two M.2 slots accept 2280 and 22110 lengths; the 2280 slot shares an SSATA lane so only one device can use that signal. Six fan headers and front-panel USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and audio pins are provided for case connectivity.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the T8D run with two 2.3 GHz 18-core Xeons under sustained load?

The board uses a 12-phase power design on a 12-layer PCB and provides six fan headers; the CPUs have a combined 36 threads at 2.3 GHz, so adequate airflow through those headers is required to manage heat.

What memory and cooling must I already have to use this dual-CPU kit?

You need eight DDR3 ECC DIMMs running at 1866, 1600 or 1333 MHz, up to 32 GB each, plus two narrow-ILM LGA 2011-3 coolers rated for the socket.

Will my existing SATA SSDs and PCIe 3.0 add-in cards work alongside the two Xeons?

Yes — the board offers six SATA 3.0 ports, four SSATA 3.0 ports, three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and two M.2 slots (one NVMe x4, one shared SSATA/PCIe x4), all compatible with current SATA drives and PCIe 3.0 cards.
