After I'd picked myself up off the floor, changed my pants, cleaned the drool off the keyboard and wiped the spittle off of the monitor I started to think on what I'd need to get it built.
I have the cpu's,coolers and EVGA 2-260GTX video cards and I'm hoping I can get it to fit in one of my big SM cube cases.
Then I realised that this needs one big mutha of a PSU and to put my piddly 6x1 gig of Kingston DDR3-1333 ECC REG in there just wouldn't be right and not sure if those would even work. Then add that I just had one of those die on me and in RMA and not here till next Friday.
Add in to all of this that on Thursday New Hampshire got hit with the worst storm I'd ever seen, 14" of rain in 12 hours, 70-80MPH winds, and electrical power out to 300,000 in the state.
I do have a small 5500w generator so I was covered .
I made some calls to try and get some help with the memory and PSU issues but that was late Friday and at the end of the workday.
So bear with me ok and remember, I'm just a guy with limited resources like most of you but this will come together.
That I promise you.:up:
I'd also like to thank all of you for the good thoughts and support.
That means a lot to me.
Ok, it's up and running!

I hope you tell us what 1.2kW PSU you end up getting.

it can run crysis.

With those two 260's something in the 800W range is more than enough. I'd get a Corsair HX850 if I were you...
Me, I'm gonna run it on a 430 or 500W Seasonic with lots of adapters, as always :rofl: :ROTF: :sofa:

I have both here in my systems and neither has ever failed me.
Then think of my situation.
You've got an essentially irreplaceable board, a pair of chips worth over $3000.00, couple nice vid cards, 4 SAS drives and you want to trust it all to a PSU you have faith in.
Damn right you need more memory! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:

Personally right now I'm aiming for a pair of X5650's which will probably be the least expensive 6 core processors released, and probably come in at the same price point at the X5550's of $1k per CPU.
5520 gainestowns were $379.00 each the last I looked but the upcoming L5640 Westmere's look interesting depending on price they come out at.Quote:

For the smaller benchmarks:
I think he already knows that he doesn't stand a chance against Xtremesystems if he can't overclock. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
Especially if people are going to use chilled water and phase change. (I have yet to see anyone run y-cruncher under LN2 yet...)

You're probably looking at a max of 850W for the entire system at max theoretical load, including the use of first-revision hardware (such as GTX260's taking 180W/ea). You seriously should be fine with a roughly-1kW unit, especially a Corsair or PCP&C, or their associated OEMs (Channel Well or Seasonic).
I told him the same thing over a PM, have no clue why Peter told him he'd need 1200wQuote:

Average is more like 610w, and that is with an LG W3000H 30" 2560x1600 and Toshiba Regza 46" on the same circuit.
omg i live in the concord area can i come see it?!!
OH and Movieman ur not feeling BLUE anymore . It should be : Im Feeling RED now ! :yepp: :rofl:
Dang, that's 12 cores and 24 thread right? How much RAM do you think you'll need?

Yes, 950TX is also made by CWT.
Edit3:
But CWT is way better manuafacturer now that it was back then, using Nippon Chemicon (good) capasitors instead of fuyjiuus ([crap]dunno how they write that actually) and teapos (crap).
Actually the cheapest Hexacore will be (is :p: ) the L5640 ;)Quote:

Motherboard with NB, 2x NF200, and some losses in the CPU VRM circuitery (digital VRM usually is >90% efficient) = another 100W
2x GTX 260 in idle – 70W, fully loaded with GPUGrid, FAH or whatever = 350W
Add in another 50W for fans, a few HDDs and small stuff and you arrive at a theoretical peak draw of ~850W if everything is OCed to the brink and fully loaded.
Now, a Corsair HX 850 can handle around 1KW no problem. While crunching, you won’t exceed the 500W mark (factoring in the PSU’s efficiency maybe 550W from the wall, but that’s it).
1,2KW – sure, for benching.
Anyway, I do understand his point - if Shamino wants him to use a 1,2KW PSU he's gonna use a 1,2KW PSU, simple as that ;)
Hell, I'd use a 2KW PSU if I'd get that board in return :D
Most likely a dead motherboard ;)Quote:

Some thoughts on the PSU issue;
Now I'm not totally clueless on adding up what is needed and what is not but consider this:
Do you remember when that gentleman named Moses came back from Mount Sinai with those two "tablets" in his hands?
This is sort of the same thing to me.
'Thou shalt not use a PSU of less than 1200W capability"
And so he did and all was good in the land..:rofl:

nice job by evga, not only for doing at all but for getting it out that quick
i know you will have a blast MM
i'd probably be sitting there with jitters and gravings.
Been speaking with some people today and if all goes right this may be "the build of the year" and I don't mean that to brag.
Not as fancy as some of the stuff darthbeavis and others do but a absolute monster.
Stay tuned..:D
Not if I build a dual gulfie with 72GB or 144GB of ram. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
jk... Not this gen... At least after Ivy bridge when AVX and FMA are out.

You get a feel for people over time.
He is just one of those who is secure in who he is.
When you meet him your met with an honest smile in what can only be called an "open" face.. No guile.
What you see is what you get.
Very rare in the world we live in.
Then you watch him at work and see the intensity in his eyes and the skill.
I kid you not, it was a treat to watch him at work.
and u dont think i wouldnt mind u throwing it on your board just show u can shove the frenchman a 4ghz gainestown system?Quote:

Can't wait to see this get put together along with some #'s.
Hope you can get your parts soon Dave:up:
so much talk and no pics of this thing running yet lol. i guess i'll just stay tuned for the worklog. so first worklog right dave?
Probably a thread on the build and then when Intels NDA ends a complete review of the board with benches..Quote:

You can run different models of Dual QPI Xeon together – such as 5520 + 5540, even Quad Core + Hexa Core together – but must be from same family – ie, NO for Westmere + Nehalem – Performance scaling is fine
You can run turbo mode on one CPU and non Turbo Mode on the other too
You can run a single CPU (Must be Dual QPI) in any one of the 2 sockets
You can run Non ECC normal DRAMs but also ECC Rams too
Dual QPI Xeon DRAM Multipliers/Uncore Multipliers are locked so you will only be able to use maximum 2:8 or 2:10 depending on segment of CPU
You can run 200 – 205MHz Baseclocks on air – 230+ needs LN2
Motherboard is 381mm width by 345mm length
Motherboard supports 4-way SLI on current GTX285/upcoming Flagship VGA
Motherboard supports 4-way Quad Fire
Motherboard will ship with typical 1366 Xeon socket back-plates but normal X58 socket back-plates will be bundled in package
Motherboard bundled with ECP V3 – Vcore Boosters + Speedfan 100% Click Boost + CPUs/PCIEs Disable
Power Consumption Tests:
2.8GHz x 2 @ 1.20v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 1x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 535w from AC socket

Any idea what cpu was used ? thx.
MM not a bad board,not bad at all :up::p:
24 threads at 4.2Ghz kinda limits the options on what chips they are :up:Quote:

The thing is there are two major parts to this:

Big Blue speaks to the cpu's but forgets the board and can't do that.
maybe ' W555+X5680=:shocked: if I can get that smiley into the title spot..:rofl:
Then there is the memory that will be in this.
Right now all I want to say is that it is "OMG uber incredible I'm in shock " memory

I guess the question is: Is the w555 the same size as the MBD-X8DAH+-F-O?
Not saying that I'm building anything soon. But I'm just curious.
And just as I received a mb tray from MM they announce this. Would have loved this tray for my new build.
I already have a Pinnacle-18 with an XL-ATX tray, I'll be able to get the new tray and slide it right in. :cool: I've been looking forward to this board for a long time, I can't wait.
Movieman, can I come visit this board please? I'm in Manchester. :D
I don't even want to know how much that thing cost!
that's what I'm going for, hopefully in a Pinnacle24Quote:
