Well for benching you'll need to figure out how to keep those Nf200's and the rest of the bottom chips cool without interfering with the graphics cards.Quote:

But I'm sure someone will figure something out :D
why make a mobo that can only fit in a few cases (such as mine)
what is evga's problem with putting six pin connectors everywhere they can fit them, those six pin's are clearly not needed
and another hot running board from evga
that has got to be the most idiotic thing ive ever seen...
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/98...VgTAjLzS#blank
who uses 20 pin anymore ???
with only 1 8 pin, and 1 4 pin ???
3 8pin pice, and 2 6 pin??
what the heck were they thinking?????????? i mean really if your going to have a psu that draws 2000W, ie 16.7Amps @120v
can you atleast have a 24 pin power, 2 8 pin, and 1 4 pin ???
with 4 6+2 Pcie, and 4 6 pin as well
the only thing they did right on that massive pile of junk was the 24 sata conectors.
You have clearly missed the point of this board.Quote:

and i bet that u could get an i7/ram faster on a single cpu board so its not realy extrmeme ocing, more extreme whole system benchmarking, evga just trying to get their parts at the top of 3dmark
Gotta call you out on this... you think you can layout a mobo better than the eVGA design team? Aesthetics dont rule all designs... i'd pick electrical purity over looks any day, and I bet this board is very well-routedQuote:

BTW where is Movieman?
why don't they have eVGA stickers on them then? also i thought most GPU a system could run was 4?Quote:

They are all needed: extra six pins for the CPU under high loads, extra six pin to pci-e slots to prevent burnouts. nf200s are also needed for 4 way setups (not quad sli). larger form factor looks needed due to cpu power design. its an 8 phase instead of the 10 phase on other classifieds probably due to space constrictions already :up:Quote:

dream board, i see a 600+ price tag.... hope not
LMAO you dont know the magic Peter can pull off then ;):rolleyes:Quote:

Anyway, the board needs more SATA ports, and I don't like how they are arranged.
There were simply removed to show which chips are under them. This is common practice when displaying brand new gear. :rolleyes:Quote:

No, if you look at the benching picture, you can see that the NB, SB, and NF200 chips have a low-profile heatsink covering them, much like the large SB heatsink on the P6T7 or RIIE. This board is really meant to be put under water anyways, so I doubt that it will matter.Quote:

Says who? Do you have one? No. Low profile doesn't automatically assume water cool only. Plus, the person I quoted was probably referring to the pics of the board lacking heatsinks.. so don't say no to me sir. The benching picture was not done by EVGA.. it is not a final board.Quote:

What NB chipset will the board be using? a Modded X58? 5520? or something completely different?
What a tease, I want more info! :D
I was about to say the same :rofl: irony = winQuote:

You are all obviously missing the target market for this board. It's me!
I'm the rich noob that will buy it not knowing how to use it properly.
Thank goodness for message boards to help give me a clue what to do with it once I have it. :p:
Very nice Peter...you've gotta be in geek heaven, working for a company that lets you dream big, and then bring your dreams to reality...this thing is truly a masterpiece:toast:
I really am looking forward to seeing more. I'm also very curious about the GPUs you were benching with...what were they? :shrug:
I'm going to go ape:banana::banana::banana::banana: all over wprime and Vantage if I get one of these and it clocks bclk a smidgen.
