SR-2? Somebody at evga loves Mass Effect too much :rofl: :ROTF:
Nice board Dave. Congrats. If you are willing to "risk" using a Silverstone DA1200 PSU drop me a PM. You already made a down payment on it. :p:
And I have access to a cherry-picked 5970 that would assist in the 3D benchmark apocalypse dept... if you're interested :)
Well not really, if they brought BP-6 to current time we'd be running i5's in dual socket mode :DQuote:

I like the name.. I'd suggested "Movieman's Dream" because to be 100% honest, it is..Quote:

the timing is perfect also as the 6 core Westmere's in this board will be absolutely huge for almost anything you can think of.
Want a rendering machine and can't afford a $1,000,000.00 Supercomputer?
This will fill the need nicely.
Like to Fold? Here's the board.
WCG like I do? I think this will be the first 100,000PPD machine.
It has so many possibilities that it's scary.
It can serve as a great 3D-render station, for sure. But put a couple of server-grade NIC into this MB, then the 12c/24t @4.6GHz :D can serve as a great enterprise server for many middle-size companies.
It has redundant CPU which is really impotent for reliability. Add a redundant RAID storage system, and a redundant power supply to it (both comes relatively cheap), and you will get pretty close to a mission critical server, with much more reliability than a single CPU system.
these guys could probably make good use of it... http://fastra2.ua.ac.be/
This is why I hope this board is a full success. :up: -that someone might to decide to make another board capable of running multiple cheap CPU's and OC'ing them.Quote:

If they can make space for 6 more ram slots, then it'd me my dream computer too... :rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:

You don't get radical improvements like that in every generation.
(Of course nobody else will care since none of the major benchmarks use new features anyway...)
EDIT:
If I can use AVX and FMA well enough, then I'll show you more than 2x improvement between adjacent generations... :dj:
(That's assuming Intel and AMD implement "true" 256-bit vector units... which I kinda doubt they will on the first gen with the feature set...)
EDIT 2: I'm being a little too optimistic, but you get the idea.
Yes, that i know. Had me one of these :)Quote:

Does that mean that if I tossed a couple pots on this board and ran it up to say 6500mhz that Intel security would come and kill me?:rofl:Quote:

We're all anxiously waiting for this thing to turn on... Even if we can't know the numbers yet. :wasntme:
(unless we secretly start tracking BOINC stats...)
There will be a thread with all the numbers, more pics and benches on the day the Intel NDA lifts on the 6 core chips.. soon...;)Quote:

refreshing.... :D
Im expecting the mighty 32core opterons to fall shortly :) Since your 24 threaded monster is missing/seems awfully quiet. The only question that remains is...will you double the best daily or will the humiliation be even greater? :D
Your new system with these babies in the for sale thread from Gunslinger 4 x 5870's eK FB calling out to you "buy me" :slobber:Quote:

Of course you would have to step your PSU up to this guy a SILVERSTONE 1500W

That would make a big "owned" icon on everything HWBOT related :D
