That may be, but the last time I had some questions re. CPU compatibility for one of their boards I got bl**dy short shift from the service/support people.
Perhaps they didn't know that while I'm broke now, this is the field I'm studying and they're pissing off a potential corporate customer. :mad:

according their webpage, it supports WinXP 32/64bit o/s, Vista, and the rest of the server o/s
but there's no news on Win7 yet ....

but hell yeah! i wish someone would bench on these babies :D

Oh man if it is a true dual X58 board...! I've been looking for an excuse to get a liquid cooling solution for my duallie, this could be my ticket!

holy ..... damn, what's the word? Nevertheless, this is second Christmas to all DP guys. And the groundbreak that could get me into it :toast:

will all the little chips above the right hand socket (in the pic) have a heatsink like the one on the left?

Very nice!!

Wait, is that a PCI-E 6 pin connector next to the 8 pin CPU power? Awesome! that makes this board so much easier to use for regular people. No more "server specific 2x 8 pin connectors".

dont forget the other 2*6 and 1*8 to go with it

only 7 pci-e slots ? :rofl:

How many of those connectors must be filled? I mean 3 6-pin connectors and 2 8-pin. Thats a lot of power

Perhaps 8+6pin connectors for both cpus and that one 6pin for pcie connectors.

Umm... ive seen one play crysis pretty well.
But it had 2 295GTX in SLI.

well i can see those sata conectors will be in the way again.... when will ppl realize that ???????

the only other question i have is this... can you put 4 dual slot 295s or 5970s in there???
or could you put 7 single slot cards for one hell of a folding/milkyway/collaz/ anyother gpu ready crunching rig???

Where can you get those?

Holy mother of mainboards. This is something. A classifiedCLASSIFIED.

How much PCB layers?

Plug some more GTX 295s in addition to the 4 that can be in the mobo...:shocked:

Is that even possible, though?

so what case can fit this jumbo-ATX form factor? it looks bigger than E-ATX
