This Chinese Motherboard Shows Intel LIED...#Helpful Post

when Intel released their eighth

generation Core Series processors they

said something that many in the tech

community were skeptical of they said

that their eighth generation processors

could not work on older LGA 1151

motherboards even though the socket was

the same and architectural II the 8th

gen is not very different from the 7th

and the 6th gen did Intel lie well we

have no way of knowing for sure but what

we do have is a weird Chinese

motherboard from brand what is this onda

something order whatever whatever this

is that not only claims to work with 6th

7th and 8th gen CPUs but do it with ddr3

this is gonna be a good one and it's

brought to you by who was it again

oh god off stream deck the elgato stream

deck the stream deck is the compact

hyper configurable keypad that allows

you to do all kinds of things I mean

really it works for anything like

streaming video editing this guy's kind

of limit check it out and get yours at

the link in the video description

now hold on just a gosh-darn moment here

so this is an h3 10 seed chipset

basically the cheapest thing that you

can solder to a motherboard to give it

support for an Intel processor mm-hmm

and is that technically 8th gen

compatible so have they gone backwards

compatible or have they taken an older

one and made it 8 gen compatible here

it's backwards compatible it's not

supposed to be backwards compatible but

in this case what they did is they took

the h3 10 chipset which is 8th gen and

they decided to just remove any of the

limits so you can run KB like you can

run Sky like you can run coffee like and

with ddr3 and those of you who know what

that means

those CPUs all have integrated ddr4

memory controllers now to be clear

Anthony's not saying that this

motherboard has no limits we can tell by

looking at it it most most assuredly has

limits this is far from a high end part

I mean do we have a full sized ATX or

even just a normal M ATX board to

compare this to okay here we go so for

perspective this is a standard full

sized ATX board this is an m-80 export

so that's anywhere from 1 to 4 expansion

slots and this is the onda we get one

PCI Express 16x slot 1 1 X slot we get

USB 3 I mean that's that's better than a

kick in the teeth 3 SATA ports cause

like I guess that was the only spare

room they could find to put them an 8

pin power connector which surprises me

on a board like this and then pretty

limited i/o PS - Wow - ps2 ports VGA out

HDMI for USB Gigabit Ethernet and

regular old 5.1 audio packaging is

pretty bare-bones - you get kind of a

Quick Start Guide Chinese only an i/o

shield and a SATA cable the funny thing

is that IO shield if you look at it the

Ethernet port is optional maybe they did

that for grounding purposes so you

this activation well you know what what

do we do see what it can do yeah

basically the reason they have this down

here it's got an 8700 kne right now okay

I'm a little bit weary of putting in

8700 K into that but yeah that's the

fire ups in a bench see what it looks

like and then we'll finally put the 8700

K into that and see what it's like with

ddr3 if it even works we'll be answering

the question once and for all that

nobody ever had how well would an 8700 K

perform if it was limited to ddr3 so

we're using csgo as a benchmark because

it's easily CPU bottlenecked which is

going to tell us then with all the other

hardware being the same if our CPU has

its performance hindered in some way

either by the motherboard or by our

memory check this SH is out there's four

jumpers here so you can select either

SATA or PCIe wait those support PCI you

know I don't think so

I think these just allocate the lanes o

or something for forty seven point two

three and for our final trick here we're

gonna run the v-ray benchmark then it's

time to actually install Hardware on

this thing it's kind of terrifying

alright we're done so let's go ahead and

let's do this thing so a lot of you

probably don't realize this but there's

a very good reason that Intel's eighth

generation CPUs still have support for

ddr3 and that's mobile a lot of laptops

actually still ship with lpddr3 because

the low-power ddr4 at least this is my

understanding just did it ever get up to

snuff I kind of feel like no like ddr4

itself is pretty low power so there's

that if that's the case though then we

need to make sure that we don't enable

XMP on this why are these on so tight

did you rinse them in I use the

screwdriver I never actually did inspect

that board for bent pins but it looks

like it's fine from here yeah let's find

me

that looks hilarious yeah there's enough

there's enough mounting holes it's all

good

sure here comes our CPU cooler oh man oh

they don't have a right angle they don't

feels like the mothership like

descending on the unsuspecting populace

Wow do they even have oh yeah we've got

one fan header

ah two fan header let's put it hey hey

hey there we go right you ready sure

now we're gonna have to jump that thing

okay so so far it's not posting we

expect this have you tried this no this

is the first time this board has been

booted is it possible it's outputting to

the on board because it does you plugged

into the wrong HDMI cable come on baby

hey well we didn't even get it oh oh

AMD Rison and master driver dot assists

there's our problem oh yeah okay we can

get into safe mode and kill that our

8700 K is there and V V configuration

day wow it does have a meaning eight

gigs ddr3 suckas and we could even set

it to something else if we wanted but

we're gonna leave it default for now

okay so let's go ahead and save our

configuration exit let's get that I'm

about to drive in there oh yeah oh wait

that would how difficult is it to

extract from this just two screws oh

yeah you know I like to do it all right

a minor glitch Oh would help we plug the

GPU in yeah now I'm not the only one

yeah one thing I'll give this board is

that it gets into the BIOS real quick no

enemy device time okay but what we don't

know is if changing those jumpers will

fix it how much was this motherboard

anyway it was like fifty five dollars so

it wasn't even that cheap no well that

sucks yeah that's that's $55 not getting

back thanks Anthony I had not realized

that yet and until this moment

I mean it's past the return date we've

been hanging out of this board yes Thank

You Anthony mm-hmm

okay so I've changed them all over to

PCIe just to see what happens like does

that actually take like four individual

PCIe lanes and allocate them to SATA is

that what we just did I don't get it

we just booted to our SATA Drive when I

just theoretically disabled every SATA

port on the board it could be that you

were just individually splicing the

lanes over I thought doesn't make sense

to me hey dang this thing's pretty cool

if it wasn't 50 bucks well all right

let's get it booted okay so this is it

we are looking at a desktop mm-hmm 8th

gen CPU ddr3 we need a driver for our

network controller here boom well that

didn't take much this is nuts

it's nuts I tell ya yeah why don't you

just fire up CPU Z or task manager we're

turbo Eng so the CPU is behaving as it

normally would

6 cores 12 threads oh we got our driver

we are ready to run benchmarks that was

quick

yeah Cinebench now do you have an older

chip for us to try in this thing yeah

that's a 7700 K right there

heck yeah all right cool which

theoretically should not work in a

3-series chipset theoretically cool oh

that's

ouch mmm you know it's funny because

back in the ddr3 days

did some testing and determined that the

memory speed of your ddr3 didn't make

that much of a difference but like I

guess CPUs have gotten faster I mean to

be fair it's probably running at 1066

it's running 33 yes csgo time

what's csgo ha ha how zero focus motor

there how's your control of it well what

if I was in here boom what if I was out

here sorry I'm just not being very

helpful right now actually oh you can

cut wow that is something what are we

gonna read forty five point one two I

feel like we have to go in try to run

the RAM at stalk speed at least give it

sort of enter it and go and see what

happens and then run these again cuz we

can't I mean we can't accept that what

do you want to run it at what do you

think's fare 1600 or 1866 would have

been 1866 then yeah will it post looks

like it yeah Wow hey there we go okay

alright what's in a bench yeah let's

Cinebench it I want the local result you

worthless piece of garbage and the

stupid thing is it's not even like it's

filtering out exe s or something it it's

like there's all these files that have

the word Cinebench in them see how it

comes up Windows is good wow that did

not improve much no 1258 was our last

run 12:54 I'm not even gonna bother

running the rest of the benchmarks

clearly that didn't help so the only

thing left to do now is to put the 7700

K in and see if that actually works the

only thing left to do now is to find out

if Intel lied means what you're trying

to say alright

CPU me out comes the 8700 k so this is

the officially supported chip

and in goes a 7700 K who can we trust

Intel or the weird Chinese motherboard

manufacturer we've never heard of all

right let's reset it then

ah here it goes huh so check this out

7700 K yeah it went back to 1333 you're

right

ddr3 memory and H 310 chipset so was it

possible then for Intel to give

backwards compatibility to their 300

series motherboards the empirical

evidence would suggest that yes yes in

fact they could have done that but as

for whether they could have made the

older ones forwards compatible well

there's a lot of conflicting evidence

there there are people who have gotten

100 and 200 series chipsets working with

8th gen chips like this one but we have

no way of knowing what the longevity of

the motherboard and or the CPU would

have been so we don't know even if it

could have worked whether it would have

passed Intel's

quality control standards in the

meantime you said there was a special

surprise for me in this video yes as it

turns out they released a BIOS update

and that BIOS update adds another number

to the list of supported CPUs and that

number is 9 we can go all the way to 8

cores on this thing mm-hmm do we really

want to put our 9900 K in here either

it'll work and it'll be all amazing or

there'll be a fire so this is it moment

of truth the latest bios is on so you

mentioned different revisions of this

motherboard yeah there's a 1.0 2.0 and

3.0 this is the 1.0 I probably spoke a

little bit too soon on that one the 3.0

does support the 8th gen or 9th Jana

well either way I'm impressed andhe made

the first motherboard that I've seen in

over 10 years that supports more than

two generations of intel chips and even

though I don't think it's an amazing

deal especially because you're giving up

so much of your performance on

newer processors thanks to its ddr3

limitation it's a cool piece of tech and

you should you should watch this video

about it JK you already did haha

speaking of watching the whole video

this message from our sponsor thermal

take the thermal take a 500 aluminium

mid-tower has a minimalistic design with

brushed aluminum for a clean

uninterrupted look it's got hinge

tempered glass panels on both sides

it fits radiators up to 420 millimeters

on the front and it's got up to four two

and a half or three and a half inch hard

drive mounts on the left side panel or

on top of the power supply cover it's

got a USB type-c port and you can get it

for yourself at the link in the video
