If the two QPI units perform like the single QPI ones I have seen overclocked, I think that there is a good chance you will be able to get it stable. Though I would like to see you put it under water, and how well these chips take high voltage.Quote:

Might be the uncore running too high, but still - B step Westmere-EPs won't easily hit 4,5+ for truly stable 24/7 operation. At least when using "safe" voltages.
I know that it is near the limit for air cooled, but depending on his luck with the chips...

sweet !
A thing of beauty! Any chance you could publish cinebench results when you've got the beast up and running?
When will we get to see what CPU cooler you selected?
2x 5970....OMG. Somethings about to happen. Something awesome. An old guy is gonna get medieval on 3D Mark :D :sofa:
Holy SNAP! What kind of apartment building is that you're mounting this thing in?!? :eek:
Also ... are those really vid cards or the exhaust ports off the back of a Cylon raider? :shrug:
Funny thing, the 5970, not what you call a short vid card. But not blocking any sata ports this time. They look so small :D
This is techo pron!:toast:
Really nice how all the colors match
In some places they play team sports on fields smaller than that board. ;)Quote:

Hey MM, that really is unfair, your making me drool.... just you wait though, i think ive got the answer to your puny dual socket...
now i just need to find a tyan M4985 dau board to go with my S4985. we'll see how you do against 32 cores of opti godness mmhhwwaahhhhh
that would be 4*4*2*2.32=74.24ghz :)
but all joking aside, that thing looks absolutly sweet
Dave that thing is a Monster !!! :ROTF::ROTF::clap::shocked::up:
And maybe two V10's for the CPUs? At least the box is black and red as well:p:
damn that looks sweet!
Tax return just got into the account, now the waiting game for availability on hardware..........
Oh... My... God...Quote:

looking great dave!
No one has any info on a release date for this??
Great... the 16th is smack in the middle of my finals week... And I'll be spending most of it updating things from Dave... :rofl:
And pokemon comes out on the 15th...
So much for studying... :rofl::rofl::rofl:
Thanks for the pics Dave. That looks awesome.
omg. i really want that board!!
I gotta say I've never done a build like this before.
I build machines and keep extras of just about everything on hand but this build has made me smile today.
Little things, like running out of the coarse screws to mount the fans and grills..
There's 26 120mm openings in this case..Thats 104 of those screws..
I think I managed to find 45 in the house!:rofl:
Then looking and seeing TWO-1200W PSU's attached and having my mind say:
"Is this really necessary?":ROTF:
Then last, stepping back and asking myself if I'm dreaming working with all this state of the art hardware..
The scary part is all the people who put their trust in you.
You get Alan Shepards famous prayer running through your head:
" Please Lord don't let me screw up!"
