Issue with the Chinese A9-9820 CPU Mobo not functioning properly.
Issue with the Chinese A9-9820 CPU Mobo not functioning properly.
It features a PCIe 1x slot, likely indicating a standard 16x configuration or an open 1x for testing cards.
It's fair to point out that issue. I'm still puzzled as to why this board isn't working for either of us.
It's been a running joke about me having no luck, probably because of the situation. It seems like quality control isn't a priority here, which is common in China. But honestly, I'm not keen on going there.
They clearly warned against purchasing it unless you're familiar with the product. I guess that's why I skipped it.
Thats actually a different board than what I was thinking... This one just says no battery... Did it come with a battery??
Another purchaser tested the mystery Xbone mobo with a Windows 10 drive from a test bench. It ran smoothly even though the drive was a clone from an older Haswell laptop. HWiNFO64 identified it as an AMD RX-8120 CPU with an unknown ATI GPU. All four low-power DDR3 sticks (Samsung “Magic/Miracle/Wonder Memory”) were detected, and it operated at around 17°C with the stock cooler. Under full load, temperatures peaked at about 23°C. This behavior is unusual given the room temperature of 20.6°C, suggesting possible sensor inaccuracies rather than cooling issues. The cooler felt lukewarm even during benchmarking, and the VRM components showed minimal heat. The MOSFETs stayed cool, and the chokes performed similarly to room temperature. I applied TF-X paste as planned, but since the APU was positioned low on the board, I opted for a full load test. Windows default drivers may not have optimized performance, even though HWiNFO reported 100% utilization in CB R20.
