I guess EVGA fixed the BCLK limit other server/workstation boards have.

oh, theres that friendly neighbourhood plug-in again there....

Whoah ... that's going to be insanely sick :eek:
cool, the dc guys will go nuts over this :lol:
im a bit surprised as well though... there arent many benchmarks that use more than 4 threads, let alone games... 24 threads... hmmm
this would be a sweet game developer platform or video processing workstation... those guys can never have enough cpu power and bw...
24 nehalem threads @4.5ghz+... this thing should be about as fast if not faster than lrb :lol:
now if only there were raytracing games... this system could def play them... and you wouldnt need a 3d vga, an old 2d pci vga would be enough... as long as the board has a pci slot :lol:
Have 759 & 762. 659 ordered, evbot in the mail. Now this one.....haven't bought any other boards that eVGA lately.:rofl: RE III where are U?? Which procs are you using for testing Sham?? 2 5580's or 90's are big bickies...
Would I be wrong in guessing this also provides mad I/O throughput via dual IOH?
The question in that case would be: are they bonkers enough to prop it with four NF200 for 8 way x16 action. :hitself:
<whimpers>
:slobber: :slobber:
<whimpers some more>
....want one.....BAD!!!
Please....please have dual IOHs....please?
Hope these boards show up soon...although they'll probably be launched to complement Westmere-EP. Hey EVGA....need a beta tester?? My W5580s would love to stretch their legs...:D
I'll pretend I didn't see this...although you might not get off so easily with the other denizens of this site...;)
I hope it supports current chips not just xeon stuff (like skulltrail did) looking forward for more!

It's for use with one of these. Basically spells out: overclocking friendly out of the box.
Tease more, please :D
Should be the EVBot connector
im buying one if you can use non 1000 dollar cpu's and still overclock with it. although i fear the price will be 600.
I'd imagine at the lower end you'd still be able to use the E5520 CPU's. But even they cost £290 each and if you are going to be spending so much money you may as well go the whole hog. It seems silly to spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar. I'm in saving mode right now for this monster and can't wait.
Thank you very much Shamino and co over at EVGA for creating such a monster!
if you ran bigadv with 24 threads it would use a LOT of ram and you would need registered dimms to keep from destroying your memory controller. i am already using about 5.8GB on my system with 8 threads.

Bah, and I got my Classified but a week ago. Although, this is major overkill unless you do some serious F@H or photo/video encoding and editing.Quote:
Yes, it is a Classified model :) And all the features one would expect on a Classified
Except you could build two separate machines for cheaper and be able to get higher overclocks and higher PPD.
You don't NEED to use that much ram. I have mine set to 3600MB and I am still cranking out 36k PPD w/ just the bigadv client.
Hahaha evga is nuts, they just don't stop. C'mon asus where's the RE III?
E5520 for $384.99
^ Cheapest Nehalem Xeon that has hyper-threading
So $770 for the CPUs, then whatever else the mobo is. Hopefully you can use cheapo DDR3 RAM too. It'd be very interesting to see how well the E5520 overclocks, from a quick google check I don't think anyone has been able to OC it yet.

shame on everyone else for not even trying (inc. AMD's side)
