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:

yes..its an intentional misspelling
I wanna hang out with you. High end gaming rigs, Jagermeister taps... what's not to like?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:

X85 is around 30-35W isnt it?
20-24 watts for X58 TDP, not sure about how much it actually draws. Probably wont find a "real" answer.Quote:

Same here, and that was is my original article. :rolleyes: Not sure why people are still guessing wrong.Quote:

Especially when 99% of the people :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing aren't even gonna consider buying this board.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:

Damn, I thought beforehand this year would be quite dull, hardware-wise. But in ~March we are getting: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:
