Dear friend Manel & JhonZS:
These are Bad news or not for our future MB's:
HPTX Form Factor
Length: 13.6in - 345.4mm

Haven't seen any info on IB-E yet, so it's hard to tell. I would say X79 will be ok with them, but who knows?! Intel could again turn everything around.
Hope they are, that might be a great platform.
Paty
Those dimensions I believe are for the EVGA SR-2, which is dual socket, right? Siler is ATX form factor as usual, as are most "regular" X79 boards.
The SR2 is overkill anyway, only for realy die-hard enthusiasts, with a lot of cash to burn.
Manel that was from the x79 datasheet.
Now ,i'm very happy cause this:
2700k Running it at 4.6 on 1.28volts!
yeah this experience is awesome.
IB will become my new platform, for sure, early next year, and 2011 cpu with 8c/16h,too.
Thanks to Intel.:clap::clap::clap:
djs, you mean the IB-E? Where did you get the datasheet? Haven't looked for it at Intel, not sure they have it there already.
Thanks John, BITS 574 is out, after a long time without updates.
I've been away all week, timeto get up to date now.nVidia released v285.62 WHQL'ed drivers.
Paty, you got a hold of a 2700K? Cool. You're going for 2 rigs, one IB and one SB-E? Send one over if you get bored... :-)
Paty, Origin has a rig with 2700K running at 5.2G out of the box. Wow!
AIDA64 v2.0 supports SB-E, as well as IB an 7 series chipsets.
Intel released SSD Toolbox v3.0 with a new UI.
Again, hate rising against Windows 8 Secure Boot.
TSMC has 28nm process ready, production started. nVidia and AMD GPUs out next year, mobile and low end first.
EVGA X79 Classified looks good, but will wait for Siler or Thorsby version 2 (revision).
Today, we just witnessed an overclocked LGA2011 processor. The processor runs on the Intel X79 Express chipset mainboard with a regular heatsink. We observe the temperature at IDLE, it reads around 45 degrees.
A check on the CPU monitor shows that the CPU is running at a multiplier of 41X with CPU CLK set to 120MHz. This gives us a reading of 4.92GHz. The memory was running DDR3-2400 at CAS 10. CPU Vcore was 1.51v.
From the readings, it looks like the new Core i7 would be a pretty good overclocker. Who cares about LN2 when you can achieve such high speeds even on AIR. The retail processor should do better.

Well, lots of mobos showing up now. It seems you can even buy a system in China already. And it OCs well, almost 5G on air.
Chinese stores have SB-E and mobos already, but for (unconfirmed) steep prices.
Lots of X79 designs coming out, even mATX from ASRock. EVGA with FTW as well, dual UEFI.
ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA, they all have they designs out. Haven't seen much of Intel's own Siler and Thorsby though.
We're we go again. nVidia is "re-designing" GF114 based GTX560Ti with the beefier GF110 GPU, providing it with a lot more muscle, a GTX570 in disguise. GTX560Ti 448core should be the "new" name.
Good read:

Mention to IB-E finally.
IB + Z77 seems ever more desirable. Will wait and see! Either that or IB-E when details emerge might be the way to go.
Definatelly skip SB-E as it is right now.
First production BIOS for DX79SI/TO 0281, should be out soon enough.
Also, LAN drivers v16.6 released. They provide no support for our boards anymore, although it should install just fine.
Dear Friends:
These are a little bit on spec's to our x79 MB:
Back to BIOS button
4x USB 3.0 (2 external ports/ 2 internal header)
14x USB 2.0 (6 external, 8 internal headers)
8x SATA internal (6x 6Gb/s, 2x 3Gb/s)
2x eSATA external
2x LAN 10/100/1000
2x 1394a (1 external, 1 internal)
8 channel audio
LGA 2011 socket
Intel X79 chipset
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
QUAD Channel DDR3 1600+ memory support
3x PCI Express x16 (support for ATI crossfire and nVidia SLI)
2x PCIe x1, 1x PCI
Dual Gigabit ethernet
Internal WiFi & Bluetooth module
RAID 0,1,5,10
On board LED post decoder readout
ATX (9.6" x 12")
In the meanwhile I remain, :clap::clap::clap:
So, what do we got here ?..
Paty, info and documentation on Siler and Thorsby is on download center @Intel already.
petr0id, good find. Intel has posted the boards on the Extreme Series product page.
Manuals were alredy available for download.
Funny how Intel got a NEC USB 3.0 controller directly to the CPU via PCIe 3.0 and another one via PCIe 2.0 on the PCH on the Siler. That made them have to use a MUX for the PCIe 3.0 slots, one x16 and one x8. Argh!!
I understand that USB 3.0 needs the bandwidth, and not everyone will run 3 cards in SLI/XF but then why not take the extra PCIe 3.0 available lanes and put them all in the CPU?! 7 lanes still avail on the CPU, doing nothing.
Bad design choice, maybe other considerations were taken.
Also, a remote temp sensor is now available on the Siler. That came up a long time ago but was ditched, now it's back.
Why is Intel still calling the firmware BIOS? To not confuse people? I guess it does even more, this is for enthusiasts for crying out loud.
Intel started (U)EFI, so why this?
Check this out... performance tunning guides.

300USD for SI, 200USD for TO.
No thanx, not right now. I'll wait and see what comes next, rev.2 or something.

X79 roundup:
http://techreport.com/articles.x/21993
Seems the platform is quite energy efficient, lower power draw than expected, very high when OC'ed though.
4.8G with standard cooler, not too shabby...
Intel using Via FW controllers?! What?
Confirmation that Ivy Bridge-E will be socket 2011 and X79 compatible. Only Q4 2012 though.
Die shrink to 22nm.
Hope X79 gets a refresh too by then.
K|ngpin got a SB-E Uber cool (literally) system running at 5271,4GHz, based off EVGA X79 Classified, 3960X,4xGTX580 and 16GB Corsair. CPU and GPUs all under LN2!!
I want one of those.
IVB can be reverse compatible with SNB but, only if the board manufacturer makes it so. Other direction should be no issue.
Yes, guess the same issue with UEFI with ME8L update applies as wih regular IB and SB.
By that time, X79 should have had a revision as well, adding the still missing SAS and SATA ports and uplink, maybe even it become X89 (like X38 and X48) and ditch PCI altogether and get USB 3.0, to make it perfect. Then I'll buy!
Siler review:
http://www.motherboards.org/review/i...Intel%20Core%2
These are interesting times. Do we shed money on X79 and undoubted power of the new 3000 series, or do we bide our time until at least we get a refresh of the X79 and/or Z77 (which looks good BTW).
I tend to build systems to hopefully last 4-5years with the exception of swapping out the Graphics card after 2 years. I fear that although Sandybrige is amazing (2600k) I worry that it will be a bit like those who purchased Dual Cores when Quads were out, by that I mean shortlived yet amazing. In my opinion the 3000 series may have slightly longevity, however we cannot deny that 2600k at the moment is a fantastic chip.
I am oh so curious to see whether we do indeed get new boards in March which improve SNB-E power consumption and add more native SATA-3 ports etc.
John
Yes John, we're facong a dilemma here. For me X79 as it is it's a no go. I'll wait for C2 or even D stepping for the i7-3xxx procs and a refresh of the X79 see what it brings. Most probably yet, I'll wait another year and 22nm Ivy Bridge-E is out and possibily a newer X79/X89 with all the goodies and with the trash out the door.
Let's wait and see.
Z77 and IB look awesome too, if don't intend to SLI or XF, that should be good enough.
LAN drivers 16.7 released.
Haven't seen BIOS updates from Intel in ages.
Even drivers are coming out slow.
All is perfect now?
