- Which CPUs fit this board?
- It uses Socket 2011 and supports Intel Xeon processors, with two sockets for a dual-CPU build. Check that your Xeon E5 chips are LGA 2011 before buying.
- What memory does it take?
- It uses DDR3 DIMM modules. DDR3 is older and slower than DDR4, but used sticks are plentiful for budget builds.
- Does it have Wi-Fi?
- No. It has an integrated network card with an RJ45 port and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so plan on a wired connection or add a separate adapter.
- Can I use a modern graphics card?
- The expansion slots are PCI, not PCIe, so modern graphics cards will not fit. Plan on a PCI-era card or use the board for CPU-heavy work without a discrete GPU.
- Is it good for mining?
- No. The board is not marketed for mining, and its PCI slots and DDR3 platform suit workstation or server use rather than multi-GPU mining rigs.
- What is in the box?
- Expect the motherboard itself. Cables, I/O shield and manuals are not guaranteed with this brand, so confirm contents with the seller before ordering.
- Where is the YINGHUA X79 Dual 8D Dual cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $346.84, as of our latest check.
