Droool!!!! Subscribed!
Damn, that is hawt. I can't wait to see how these and the Tyan boards work out for gaming.
:slobber: holy guocamole.
ill take two please, :D
nice dude. yes, please let us know how they all work together, how much did that set you back. keep us up to date when you can.
SUBBED!!!!!!!!!!
one problem though.....i sold all my 8800's so i don't have any video cards to run SLI!! And pretty much all the AIC partners don't have any stock of 8800 GT and both the 8800 GTX and Ultra are EOL now so I'm kinda screwed right now.
*puts bucket underneath mouth to collect the drool from looking at pic:slobber:
Now you do know that you are going to have to try this on WCG or I'm going to be whacking the infraction button until my finger falls off!:rofl:Quote:

Thats a big one. Mwuhahaha
Looking at the pic with that blower setup over the southbridge I assume:
Will that interfere with a long vid card??
Damn, I'll be back in a few..Just lost another pair of pants..Thats 3 pair since I saw this thread!:shrug:
that has to be over 3K worth of parts right there. Baller
No the heatsink is actually low profile and will not interfere with the cards.
here's a shot underneath the heatsink:

woah, these arent retail are they?
God I want one. Nice hardware man! Wish I had that kinda money to blow right now lol.
can't speak...no words :eek: :yepp:
what are those blue colored, for graphics card?
the blue colored slots are for 4-way SLIQuote:

depending on how this thing clocks i might have to buy another vapo...LOL! That'd be so 133t!!
So skulltrail CPUS are called what exactly? XQ9775? Why...
How do you diferentiate between normal 775 cpus, and can normal 771 cpus be used?
Next to the Vapo, maybe a waterloop for those 4 G92 GTS's I mentioned and 1 for north & southbridge :P. All I'm saying this could get messy, you're rly doing your name honor CRAZYpinoy9
yes they are the QX9775's. Intel probably just changed the last digit because these cpus are 771 and the slight part number change keeps it different.Quote:

3200/12mb/1600 of Penryn goodness..
Damn, thats 4 pairs of pants gone and a hole in my desk!
So what's everybody's expectations of CPU perf? 160% compared to a QX9770? And 4-way SLi? 250% compared to 1 gfx??
OC-capabilities? better/worse than X38 or P35?
We want benchies:D When you getting your FB-DIMMs crazypinoy9? And is the board + cpu's to stay?
ya the board and cpus are for keeps...xmas came a little early for me!Quote:

no this was from intel direct for testing purposes.
OK... what OC options are avaiable on that board.? Just limited to systool. Either way this setup is just teh PWN! :clap: I wan't wprime @ 4.0Ghz.
Good news pinoy9 on those gfx's:

This beast will have OC options like a gaming board my friend.Quote:

Still, a 8 core Penryn at 3600/12mb/1800 is going to be a beast:up:
If the multi is unlocked to even 10 from the default 8 this will be a scary setup at over 4000..
Damn man, wish I had one of those to go with my Xeon 5340's and 4x2gb of DDR2-800 FB-DIMM's :(
very nice present!
congrats :)
Ive got one of the new Tyan i5400xt duall 771 boards and two 2.83 hapertown quads sitting on my workbench right now. Along with two 3850's and 16gb kingston FB-Dimms and a PC P&C 750 silencer. For cooling I've got two fuzions with custom plates and an MCR-320. maybe ill be able to compete with this sexy beast (at least at processing power)
the machine is going for high res image editing (i.e. photoshop/QFX and stitching of ultra large photographs) so skulltrail wasn't a necessity.
I soooo happy u got a skulltrail
it means I can get one soon after :D
Questions once the fbdimms get there
will it work with any xeon?
will it work with just 1 chip
how hot does it get
bios oc options?
the skulltrail is a socket 771 right???? and xeon only???
yup, question is will it still work and oc with any xeon not just the XQ9775.Quote:

No see what you have gone and done? Movieman won't be in his right mind for days. :shakes: :ROTF: :ROTF:
we want Benchies now!
Isnt this more of a server/corporate board?? idk, I prefer sticking to normal boards. This thing is just wierd.
i seen some gt's over at hardforums in FS section .
nice board , wonder when we can see more of these out ?
What? Me go nuts over a little thing like a dual Harpertown system that's OC'able?Quote:

Me? nah......:nuts:
i heard the board was going to be $600 - $800
Nice :D
skulltrail = enthusiast's board :)Quote:

well so far i'm waiting for my fb-dimms from kingston, zalman is sending me two CNP9700's and I just got off the phone with my contact at thermaltake and he's sending me two 1200w toughpower's.
Only things left are the cards and a new case that takes two PSU's....will contact silverstone in the morning about getting a TJ07....
It brings me to tears to say that now my newly built DDR3 rig is gonna be my backup....
I'm guessing the zalmans are also a gift but if not swing for the TRUE's..Better HS, yes, not as sexy and the Harpers should be a little easier on the heat output so the zalmans might do.Quote:

Maybe if you asked him nice..well, you get the idea.
What's your timeframe on the DDR2-800 FBDimms.
I have 4 of them here now.Theyare scheduled to head to Canada soon but I know the guy and he might let them make a sidetrip..
Oh my I can't wait till this stuff eventually hits retail.
8 cores overclocked and folding. Oh my.
That's amazing, can't wait to see some numbers.
I was actually just on the phone with Jakup about an hour ago...i used to work at EVGA with him...very good guy.Quote:

as for the zalmans, i'm trading them some extra 2GB dominators that i had laying around which is obviously more than what those coolers are worth but who cares! I've got 10GB's of crucial memory just sitting on my desk right now doing nothing so I've got some to spare.

Crazy..... I look forward to seeing some numbers from this. Power consumption has gotta be through the roof!
This one is sexy! :shocked:
*uber drool*
I need money... :(
why are u guys drooling u can get the same thing from tyan with the i5400xl/x but they only have 3 16x slots but no nv carap on the board so it should run without random crashes
omg now your making me cry.....Quote:

does this board support pci-e 2.0?
now that is what i call a hardware p0rn
Clock generator(s) are unknown on the new 5400 series boards, let alone the fact you cannot adjust cpu:fb-dimm ratio.. :down:Quote:

Movieman has had similar machine for over a year now, maybe except for the fancy video cards, so his drooling was not too sincere :)
I am particularly interested to see multi-threaded memory benches on this platform. This is the main weak spot.
Wrong, he's had dual Clovertowns, this board is for skulltrail, it overclocks like a normal board, and can support Harpertowns or the new QX6775, unlocked multi:up:Quote:

Now if I didn't begruge the downtime I could volt mod the cpu's up from the stock 1.33v to maybe 1.46 and go for 10x 350 for 24/7 work but thats max with the 667FBDimms and maybe 10x380 with 800FBDimms.
I just tested 800FBDimms on this board(SM X7DAE) and the board will not run memory beyond 394..Yes, 400 memory that won't go over 394 on this board.
Bottom line is my combo does have some more in it but nothing like what this skulltrail combo has for potential..
And yes, my drooling was "sincere":rofl:
Would your clovers work with a Skulltrail board? Then you can use after-market HSF and overclock them properlyQuote:
Originally Posted by Movieman
Yes, they will..That's crossed my mind but $500-600 for a board and another $400.00 for the 800FBDimms.Quote:

I already have a excellent HS/Fan set up
A dynatron HS with 80mm vantec tornadoes on them.
App 10-15 mins work per HS and worth 13C off of the stock Intel HS's.
Oh, they are a tad expensive:p:
Yes, I can almost justify it. I do have a pair of woodcrests here sitting on a shelf that I could put to use in the current board..Quote:
Originally Posted by happychappy

But it's coming up with that $1000.00 for the MB and memory that is the killer.
Wish these were for sale already. That way, I can just give my PC to my son and not have to spend more money on yet another set of consumer hardware.
I can envision four 8800GTs. Multi LCD setup. My wife will love this machine !
I can envision a humongous water cooling project. I see four chipsets on the mobo to water cool :D
One nice thing about the Skulltrail board is that, even though it's LGA771, it will accomodate LGA775 heatsinks. So you have a lot more cooling choices.
Upon further inspection, it seems like only the NB is secured by clips and thus can accept a water block like a MCW30. I don't see the mounting holes for the others, but there's that huge fan/heatsink combo. Is this correct ?
Need to stash away moolah. No more designer coffee lol Darn.. each cpu costs $1500 lol :)
Here's a few other pics. Note the standard Zalman coolers used by Intel during a demonstration.
Calm down now, remember your age and your heart..Quote:

I imagine this would be an incredible system with 3-4 8800GT's on board. :up:
That's if she doesn't divorce him after spending that much money on a computer:shocked:
Funny thing, our admin just emailed me the thread, he wants one to. Knowing him he'll mortage his house for it.
This thing is weak :P, I got my i5400xt from Tyan that has 8 dimm slots, = 16gb FB-dimms and my 2 x 2.83ghz harpertown quad cores came today from etech4sale! (despite the crappy name, they drop shipped them from cali and the came to mass in two days even though i payed only $15 dollars)
the only version of this board i can see having major advantages over the 5400 chipset is the non FB-Dimm version
The only thing your board has on my skulltrail is that it supports 16GB....big deal! This is gonna be a gaming rig so who needs 16GB's? Even 8GB's for that matter?Quote:

Oh and I got my stuff for free months before anyone can even touch this board so when you can do that then come talking to me saying that my stuff is weak.
nothing bugs me more than haters
That's 2 posts you've had in this thread and both negative.Quote:

Be nice huh? Call it a favor to another Massachusetts guy( Born in Lynn, lived in salem and beverly till 2000)
This is this guys 15 minutes of fame and he's entitled to enjoy it.
Add to that there's a lot of people here who'd give their right nut for this system..;)
dude that was joke, did you not see the sticking-out-tounge smiley?
im sure your board is gonna rule for gaming.
the system I'm building is going to hardcore photoshop on super highres images so its not even in the same segment as yours.
Question: does the skulltrail have SAS?
I really do apologize...no excuses but there's a lot of political BS going on in the company i work for now and I'm getting dragged into it somehow....again, my apologies Sniipe
please read my post, that was a joke, i was just messing with his (well deserved) inflated ego. I retract my earlier statement of no advantages, i kinda forgot about the 4 pci-e slotsQuote:

Cool I'm glad you guys worked it out because I'm excited to see the results on both of these setups. Cheers to you both for sharing.
once again information asymmetry makes everyone look silly! lol we were all posting at the exact same time
Should have added this: Love to see what your machine does when assembled.Quote:
