SOYO H311M-DVH – viable LGA 1151 option for 6-9th gen and Xeon E3 V5/V6?

Welcome to Mikon's hardware . This is a Zeon E3 1275V5 and I have a couple of these CPUs that I really don't know what to do with . That's why I decided to search on AliExpress and see maybe I can find some interesting LJ151 motherboards to do some content and finally get some use for these CPUs . I found Soyo H311M motherboard and I had some hopes for this board because I got to believe that Soyo is somehow a respectable brand on AliExpress . I bought the motherboard for about €50 . It was actually slightly under that at the 111 sale and it arrived to me not long ago . Right now I no longer have the motherboard because it went back to China . And let me tell you how it all went because I have done all my standard testing regardless . Starting with unboxing, I was immediately and unpleasantly surprised because one of the corners on my motherboard is damaged . And I struggle to understand how such a damage could happen inside a cardboard box . So I tend to believe that the motherboard was dropped onto the floor before it was shipped to me and they didn't bother to check that . Then I have spotted marking on the motherboard which would state ZXH311D4 and I have pretty bad experience with every motherboard I have tested that comes from this ZX manufacturer in China . They produce lots of lowquality no-name motherboards for AliExpress to sell , but sometimes they also do motherboards for known AliExpress brands such as Machinist, Juanandre, Chiida or Soyo . in this case. So immediately after seeing this Martin, I expected the worst and I was not disappointed . The biggest issue with the motherboard I have got is the memory compatibility . I don't know if this is a consequence of the damage that the motherboard was dropped or is just a generally lowquality motherboard and pretty bad bias
