Motherboard Identify this board

[confusis]

Hey Yall!

Pictured below is an X79 socket 2011 board, bought for next to nothing for my next project. Now, my google sleuthing has come up with nothing - can anyone here rise up to the challenge of finding a manufacturer's page (at the very least) for this board?

Apologies for the graininess, the lighting was not ideal for this shot, only originally needed it as a reference shot!

I found this video:

It's an MSI, if you search up MS-7777, MS-7778 shows up and it's by MSI.

 

[confusis]

I don't speak Russian There are three YT vids that I have found, one on the green board, two on the black board including a running system

Yup, the MS-7778 nis a FM2 OEM board. But I can't find any page for this board. I need more than a brand here

I tried.

Where did you get these from?

 

[confusis]

From a local person who bought them direct from China. He was planning on getting them working as workstations but couldn't get them stable. (I've figured out their idiosyncrasies I think!)

Now you need one of those 10 core engineering sample Xeon's,also from china, to get that workstation rocking.

I so want to mess with x79 stuff since I have the ddr3 ram around.. But those mobo prices.. Yikes. Glad to hear you got a deal on some to work with.

 

[confusis]

@TheHig The boards cost me $20 NZ each.. yup I have a Xeon E5-2640 to use in one

More clues:

The manual is minimal at best, all in Chinese.

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

There are two Chinese brands I know of making x79 boards, Panshi and Mingsu. This doesn't match them though. My gf says the manual doesn't offer much info about who makes it either.

One more image, hoping it doesn't contain private info of the previous owner:

I founda very similar one on taobao. Maybe try search for "Yanwei"

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

The fapiao in that image has no brand either. Weird.

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

A box of the Yanwei board for sale on Taobao shows a brand name "atcool"

 

[confusis]

That would explain the YW on the serial sticker.. The plot thickens!

So the top expansion slot is slot 1 eh? Thank goodness for the diagram... Lol. Sounds like that's all you need to get started! A 20 spot each as well. Very nice find and Good luck!
