Well that does it for me. Where can I preorder?
Damn you eVGA for making me sink into credit card debt even more because of your must-have awesome board (unless Supermicro comes up with a similar model :D ).
Thanx EVGA for making life THAT much more worth living in 2010:up::up::up:
3DMARK VANTAGE anyone? :D
So, What would be good processors for this board, other than the unlocked xeonss ($$$$$$)?
Most cheaper Xeon's will have a rather low multiplier remember. I don't know how high the bclk on these boards will go, but I don't expect it to be a bclk king or anything. So chances are you will be multiplier limited in most of your overclocks w/ the cheaper Xeons.
cheap... on this board :D
They typoed Xenon...
Quad SLI "needs" nf200, if I am not mistaken.
Even Cool@Quit (pic below) clocks the cores down individually,so it's definitely a
feature for/from AMD,in other words different cpu speeds should not be a problem in this case either.
I am no expert on Intel cpu's,what (kind of clocks) can one expect with
a pair of 5520 xeons on this board for 24/7/365 operation (WCG on the cpus and FAH on gpus) ? :)
i really want one, EVGA/Shamino thank you very much!
Any real price estimate?
I really want to know the full specs.
Now waiting till someone makes single LGA1366 board with two X58 chips and without NF200 :)
Yeah, I tweeted Jacob about more details on the board, and all I get from him is:
I have a feeling we're in for a long wait.Quote:
Launch for the mobo is scheduled for March/April. However, that is not set in stone just yet.
I was going to wait for this board, but I might not be able to, I want to get my video editing monster together around the same time Adobe CS5 comes out in April.
I'm still excited about what this puppy will be able to do!
I'm gonna rock my 790 and core 2 duo until it drops. I already sold off my x58 rig completely. I didn't even lose $200 on $3000 of hardware after an entire years use, not a bad rental fee. Saving for the big dog now.
"Not set in stone" sounds suspiciously like an October/November release. I am not being facetious.
AMD's Magny Cours is coming in March. That is not an if, and, or but.
This is another case of the "supposed to's." I am not trying to be a schmuk on this. But every case of so-called inspired design, or revolutionary idea that will change the market place, or offer a unique product is often released on a time schedule that is between maybe and never. Let's talk about what is on the table.
they need to take their time to do it right imo. when i buy this i willl be pissed if it is rushed to marke5t and needs constant updates etc or me beta testing high end hardware. i already do this with other types of cutting edge hardware..
evga has a good reputation with this though, so i dont think it will be a problem. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...
Ok, what stock cases will this fit in? Will it fit in a tj07?
