Internal parts.
Overall view.
Close up internal.
Back plate and ports. Typical layout.
80mm fan on top.
Board view.
PSU.
Parts view. Yep, the JM9100.
Temperature of the build. CPU and GPU are both aronud 15W.
BIOS screen. Definitely not Core i7 920.
Ubuntu PC description. Notice that KylinOS repo is used for drivers.
dkms for the pcie parts.
GPU in action. However I can't make it running in other softwares yet.
Firefox with WebGL rendering.
The Wifi card has reasonable performance.

Semi ITAI Build: China hardware with major Linux Distribution
# Semi ITAI Build: China hardware with major Linux Distribution #
It will be easy peasy if I just pick KX6000 CPU and Fantasy 2 GPU, and just grab a LAN cable and install Windows 10.
Meanwhile, this contains the hardware list only. For software installation, refer to the findings on Ubuntu 20.04
Although you can buy most of these from Taobao, some may be scared to sell outside mainland China. Consider buy from Goofish instead.
- CPU: Huawei Kunpeng 920 8 Core "2251K". Sold as D920L11K. It is the server variant of D920S10. PCIE 3.0 instead of 4.0 from full server version.
- Motherboard: "BC32MBHB", bundled with Powerleader PT620K 2U server (shown in BIOS logo). Supports 4Rx4 64G RDIMM, and 3200Mhz. Soldered with CPU. Desktop uATX board layout. Also, only AMD / ITAI GPU will boot! Tested with multiple Nvidia and even Aspeed GPU, all boot with no screen.
- Memory: 2x UNILC DDR4 2666Mhz 8G 1RX8 UDIMM "SCE08GU03H1F1C-26V". Note: Probably using skhynix die, hiding under purple metal case. The only module escaped the price surge.
- Storage (NVME M2): UNIC P5160 256G "UNSPC256AKMM". No other storage is used.
- GPU: JEMO Jingjha JM9100 4G. Half height with VGA output. Chip series is believed as Vulkan API is a pending promise.
- Wifi: LB-Link M2625XP1 Wifi-6 pcie card. Core is Senscomm Wisen-2 "SCM2625".
- PSU: Delta DPS-350JB-1B 350W SFX. Probably is a counterfeit PSU.
- CPU fan: "Generic ITAI CPU fan".Turns out it is a generic 115X heatsink. Orginal 2U server use an generic 1U active blower heatsink.
- Case fan: Thermalight TL-B8 with Thermalight TL-B4020. The motherboard only supports PWM fan, even 2 pin fan won't spin.
- Case: GTR S608-S. Micro SFX Case / OEM Desktop SFF case in common size. Explains the less popular size above. Original 2U server was using Flex 1u PSU instead.
