Well, they never really gave a date. All that was just speculation. ;)Quote:

Need this board to complete my build, pretty much have everything else in the bag. Come on EVGA
Gorgeous board. eVGA is really putting the tongs to the other MFRs. I love the board, the layout, the scheme.
Why is it that everytime I pull the trigger on what I think is the best of the best something even better appears on the scene...I'm doomed.
That black cpu socket is sick!
I wonder how the "other" mobo manufacturers are going to respond?
Jacob stated at EVGA forums that would be soon (he clarified because everyone was expecting this board on this past monday)... I hate the word soon :( my guess would be before Cebit which is like two weeks away?
They can take their time because I likely can't afford it yet!
yeah, i think the 'community' was looking for this on the 16th. i just wanna see what it can do. the pictures ive seen sure look cool :PQuote:

That's one positively evil looking piece of tech... salivating...
Too bad about it's non standard size though. It's not so much that its wider than a normal ATX (265mm vs the standard 244mm), but also 5mm taller at 310 vs 305mm.
Now you might be thinking "a lousy half a centimeter, ain't no thang" but height wise a normal ATX already is a tight fit in a lot of popular aswell as upcoming cases (especially chambered ones).
I can already see it won't fit the Silverstone Raven for example (presuming it's the bottom of the board that's elongated) and that would have been a killer combo with this board... well, for me at least.
Please EVGA, lose the "FTW" moniker. It's just not as cool as you think. Unless it means "F**k The World" then it would be cool.
^ They didn't do FTW for this board or for the X58... Whats your point?
Some benches so far;
max BCLK

32M water cooled (completely untweaked runs on all benches just checking max at this BCLK water cooled with low room temps)

SLI

CPU-Z bug on this BIOS with link width so ignore the 8X...
what does this cpu you test reach on other boards for BCLK?
good results for sure :up:
Same CPU topped out for 3d on the EVGA X58 triple SLI board around 215~217BCLK.
Nice bclks! Is it stable at 20x above 220Mhz?
Yes on cold 21X, processor tops out at 225 for 3d mk 05. 32m around 229Bclk
Can you test this witha 4870X2 please if you have one.
Don't have one at hand I'm afraid.

Just curious, your SS shows the voltage barely above 1v vcore, is that correct or am I missing something?Quote:

Seeing as how the link width is reported wrong in those cpu-z shots, I'm sure the voltage is also wrong. It's like this screenshot of andreyangs:

wow, this might end up being my new board.
