thats where using 20A breakers (if you're north american) comes in handy, or powering using seperate circuits (you'd probably have to use seperate power supplies to power a fully loaded behemoth)
normal household circuits use 15A...IIRC maximum rated power supplies for north american use is 1500W
with this motherboard must be peace of cake beating almost any WR :D
This is a 5500 series chipset board to accomodate SMP, the X58 doesn't have the multi-processor link / logic.Quote:

This mobo is a whisker shy of perfection in regards to that, so PLEEEEASE PLEEEEEEASE make a version without nf200 (I'd insert a begging emoticon here but there is none)
please? :D :up:
btw, if u do, I promise I'll buy one ;) :D :yepp:
I still game but dont care for nf200. Tired of SLI/X-Fire.
Saw this baby live. It's a large pizza of awesomesauce.
x58 is the exact same piece of silicon as the xenon 5520 chipset this is using (Tylersburg), just fused differently so that 1 of the QPI links on the chipset is disabled. If anything, the NF200 chip probably uses less power then the chipset does as its only really doing 1 thing.Quote:

yeah, would be cool if there was a nf200 less version... but the volume must be pretty low so i dont think they will do it...Quote:

20-24 watts for X58 TDP, not sure about how much it actually draws. Probably wont find a "real" answer.Quote:

Not only does it give the fastest solution but it also provides it at a relatively low cost due to the overclocking features.
That would be me then.Quote:

Might even be worth getting a mac mini and using this for a network node. It will be most fun watching peeps scratching their heads as it spits out 100fps from this little white box with a gbit pigtail.. :yepp: :D

You know........ You bring up a good point.Quote:

Yummy :P Who is going to pick three of them? :)
so is there a list i need to get on to buy one of these mobos? im guessing it will be an evga exclusive.
price is going to be around $700 right?
Did anybody measure the board or were any dimensions released?
Just curious.
/me takes sawzall to full tower case
It's 381mm x 345mm...or 15in x 13.6inQuote:

no. It will not fit in any standard case.Quote:

Will the EVGA board run Windows 7 if both sockets are occupied with Xeon chips, or would I have to buy some kind of Windows Server OS?
Well ok not three out of the four above, I would potentially be buying a pair of 32nm Gulftown Xeon cpus to go with the EVGA board, would only do the i7 980X if I went with the Asus board.
ITS RETARDED
What cases are certified for this motherboard then? Can somebody tell me at least a couple to see if I will need $500 just for a case?
waawaawaa :p:Quote:

Not really, what do you expect, it's a motherboard with two CPU sots and 7 PCI-E x16 slots... of cause it's going to need a large case and there are some, the P80 will have no problem fitting it.Quote:

1600 will get you an insane folding rig...1600 dollars for two i7-920's and the DP EVGA classified plus 300 or so for cooling loop, a cheap gpu, two 800 W psus.
Imagine the bigadv ppd... If it scales well, probably in excess of 50k at 4.0 ghz :D (that is where you will need a chunk of ram, 16gb for 16 cores on -bigadv -smp 16
:D
again, you are going to have to use DP xenon chips with this, do not count on i7's ever working in itQuote:

Yeah it will, with modifications of course. The Cosmos chassis can fit an EATX mobo with some room to spare so I don't see why this won't...Quote:

Well I have an 18 month old daughter who is very inquisitive. I'm not about to let her hurt herself (or my hardware) by poking around on an exposed system. Which would for sure happen if I didn't have a case around it to protect from little fingers. So I need a case.Quote:

What versions of Windows 7? Home Premium 64-bit? Or would I need to get Pro or Ult to run dual socket? Presumably all versions, but I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to require ult to run dual socket.Quote:

While I'm a large fan of the concept of dual overclockable CPUs, I personally find EVGAs implementation of it to be wanting in a few areas. The NF200 chips are major flaw (IMHO) that could easily have been rectified with dual 5520s. The fact that dual 5520s weren't used reeks of NVidia coercement, with the threat of withholding SLI support. unless the NF200 chips were used. Current workstation boards on the market that use dual 5520 IOHs have 4 genuine x16 PCI-E slots, and are more than capable of handling any amount of video card I/O, the only problem is NVidia's obstinacy in permitting SLI. NVidia's NF200 chips may not bother some people, but they have proven to be an annoyance with at least one of my pieces of hardware, the Adaptec 52445, which considered the x16 PCI-E slot provided to it by the NF100 chip (on my Skulltrail rig) to be not at least x8, not to mention the fact that the NF chips run incredibly hot. Bottom line...the NF chips are a vastly inferior solution to the issue of insufficient PCI-E lanes than are dual 5520 chipsets, and are a solution that introduces the potential for significant issues with hardware.
Moving on, the six memory slots are nice, as they can be forced to 1333, unlike most current workstation boards. I'm wondering about all the 6 pin connectors on the board. Two EPS 8 pin connectors aren't enough? They should be and likely are...it seems more likely though that either one of the two (the 6 pin of the 8 pin) will be needed to be used to accomodate those folks whose power supplies lack dual EPS connectors, but have a surplus 6 pin or two.
The non-adherance to the E-ATX specification is also something that's not in this board's favor. Precious few cases on the market will be able to hold this board, and even my capacious case will have a tough time accepting this board.
Will it support ECC ram as well as enable and process error correction?
Searching has been fruitless.
Even tho the CPUs are capable of handling ECC ram, I suppose ECC support isn't very high up on evga's priority list right now. OC before stability :S

Zomg, my pants they are ruined.
that is just the most awesome thing I have ever seen
build it or you will be killed and your renders will be stolen :P
What's the ETA on this EVGA?
I believe it is April....Quote:

haha wow, nice work mick, if you ever can get that case made i will gladly buy one, i love my MM case buts its just to damn bulky, yours fits a watercoolers dream and still is standard case design. seriouds kudos to you and your amazing engineering skills.
Is anyone benching this yet? I'm curious about the power setup.
If you make that thing available count me in as well. Been thinking about your case ever since i saw this boardQuote:

Been a while since I first read about this, has there been anymore news on it, must be getting close to a release date?
that is one beautiful thing :up:.
:slobber:
Nice Render!
Now that, right there, Mick, that is gonna be worth a photoshoot with lighting and DSLR and silly watermarks across the photos. But yeah, is it actually gonna materialize?
Now what I'd want to know about this board is wether it has a 32 or 64bit BIOS, meaning could you populate all 7 PCIe slots with dual GPU cards or would you run into the very same issues that FASTRAII had (running a 7-slot Asus board)?!
So, this is skulltrail all over again?
Yes, but better.Quote:
