So the hot air is vented right onto the pci-e slots. That'll get nice and toasty.
Pretty cool though me rikey.

why nf200? Couldn't you just use 2 x58?
I woulda have preferred they removed the IDE and keep the Floppy.
If you have money to buy this motherboard, then you can definitely buy SATA hard/optical drives.
Hmmm am I late here?
May I know why is it better for benching?
Interesting... I guess been out of the forums has kept me uninformed lol
wouldn't this be solved by using a PCI SATA card?
Boot from USB 3.0 thumbdrive..?
This board looks very exciting. It'll cost a pretty penny but nothing a fire-sale can't fix.
Man this thread really took off. ;)
Did they ever release the full specs of this beast during CES, or did they only do the teaser?
Keep in mind I haven't dealt with AMD on my main [eg. benching] systems since the C2Q's came out, but wasn't it flagged as a bug by AMD when that was seen to happen in the wild? I'm pretty positive it is not a vendor-supported feature. My guess would be that because they have the same base clock it does basically work, but dual-socket CPU's do also perform some health checks on one another that I can't say whether multi-core CPU's do to their own cores (ala a what-is-the-point scenario... if one core is broken, the whole thing is broken... but when one socket is broken, the entire board isn't necessarily down).
Even if it seems to be stable on some systems, I can't imagine AMD certifies it as "safe" operation... nor would Intel in this case. No server board has ever certified such operation, so I think it is fair to assume that EVGA isn't breaking the mold on this given they don't have that much experience in this area.
This thread has definitely shown there are still some questions about the exact operation of this board, we need to get our hands on one of them to give it a good workout!
I run my cores at different speeds and I have WCG running 24/7. AMD OverDrive allows you to change individual multipliers. Anyway, I think outright unadulterated performance is more important that data server stability in this case.
LOL saw the board at the XS party.
My first comments were OMG its HUGH.
Second comments were... Mine. :P
When i was talking to peter, also, he said USB3.0 was on it.
Volterra :(
Why not used two IOH as 5520? That could let bridges away.
yellow part..... Cooling?

Pretty sure that's not the final heatsink setup.
