Question Coffeelake DDR3 Motherboards

[PingSpike]

So LTT did a video (that I haven't watch yet btw) where they dug up a Chinese H310 motherboard that uses DDR3 and can run coffeelake. Linus claimed terrible performance, but there's some debate about whether the Chinese board even does turbo boosts by default.

Perhaps more relevant was that in the comments some one posted that gigabyte also makes such a board:

I can't find this board for sale anywhere yet but I haven't looked to hard. But it does claim to support the 9900K. I wish they had some with better featured chipsets than the H310, ones with more pci-e and 4 ram slots. It'd be nice to plop a i5-8400 in with old DDR3 I have lying around for a cheap 6 core server.

That Gigabyte board also claims to support ECC memory. As you say, if you have some spare DDR3 around, it'd be perfect as a small home server.

I was surprised LTT did the video since I had heard of the DDR3 boards long ago here at Anandtech.

I think that video is not representative, he is probably running the CPU with a 65W power limit or something,
DDR3 shouldn't be massively slower on cinebench as far as I know....
kind of sad how he is not even bothered to research basic stuff it seems

also, the point of these boards is more using the i5 8400 (which is fine under 65W)

I've also seen some H110 DDR3 mobo from Biostar moded (didn't look all that easy to get it done, but people sell it moded in China) to run the 8400 and it worked fine.
