With OCing like Classy?
One can only hope, we probably won't know until they start selling these boards and a few reviews go out.Quote:

j/k of course! :D
Nice to see a new face in DP board market. Hopefully with all the bells and whistles we are used to!
Oh and Happy NEW Year to all! :D
:party:
If it doesn't require registered memory sign me up!
very niceeeeeee
:O! though price probably be $600-700! judging by 4-way one ($450)
Dual Gulftown Goodness , Shaminos work of art i can already tell :yepp: , monster board :clap:
For the 4WAY SLI it took few months to get to this backwards country, if it goes live in february we will have it in august , yay ... god damn :hehe:
:eek:
...they should have sent a poet...
:eek:
Very impressive. 12 memory slots altogether? Dual 1366 sockets? Heavenly. I bet this board would cost like $1000 here in Australia.
Better have 4 or more PCI-E x16 slots with a nice layout.
I be realy happy than.
Dual Gulftown? The next skulltrail? If it's anything like Classified...
hmm if not overclockable it just another server/workstation board
Can't wait to see that thing in action.
Just make it big enough to fit in most cases please
cool. wonder how much? will it be worth it? who cares.
i want it.
Wow... if it can overclock... then WOWWWW. Really want if it can OC. Hmmmm, if it can't, then why would EVGA produce something that couldn't?
:slobber:
eeeeexxxxxaaaaaaaccccccccccccctttttttttlllllllllyy yyyyyyyyy
they are a company of enthusiasts that markets to enthusiasts. i am no fanboy i could kill a mother:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::ban ana: for the passive onboard HS on the classy but other than that they rock.
Had a few for New Years bro?
More info would sure be nice. I'm sure the interest in this board will be very high....I for one will be signing up for one asap.
Looks like CES will be the coming out party....hopefully Mr. Shamino will give us a few morsels of info in the coming weeks.
Very worthy of my 300th post!!:woot:
WAY TO GO eVGA!! :clap:
Well if you look on hwbot there are or were some decent results with the X5570/5580 in a single socket platform. IIRC these are the chips that work in dual socket setups right?
Dual socket 55x0 chipset does not require registered memory. You can even use non-ECC. See for example memory QVL for SM boards.Quote:

Far as i know that board WILL OC, and way better than normal server/workstation boards. They stop at 136.8BCLK :p:
Yep you'll Need 55x0 or 56x0 series Xeon to that board, normal Core I7s won't work, not even in single cpu setup.
I Just have this hunch that our Movieman might get one at CES, not sure information.
Who the hell needs 24 cores(including HT of course) and 4 GPU's?
I guess EVGA fixed the BCLK limit other server/workstation boards have.Quote:

Whoah ... that's going to be insanely sick :eek:
oh yeah they are very lucky to have him on there staff its for the good of all overclockers...but duel socket boards are not for me if they oc even half as well as the classies theres alot of guys that will be very happyQuote:

im a bit surprised as well though... there arent many benchmarks that use more than 4 threads, let alone games... 24 threads... hmmm
this would be a sweet game developer platform or video processing workstation... those guys can never have enough cpu power and bw...
24 nehalem threads @4.5ghz+... this thing should be about as fast if not faster than lrb :lol:
now if only there were raytracing games... this system could def play them... and you wouldnt need a 3d vga, an old 2d pci vga would be enough... as long as the board has a pci slot :lol:
Have 759 & 762. 659 ordered, evbot in the mail. Now this one.....haven't bought any other boards that eVGA lately.:rofl: RE III where are U?? Which procs are you using for testing Sham?? 2 5580's or 90's are big bickies...
Would I be wrong in guessing this also provides mad I/O throughput via dual IOH?
The question in that case would be: are they bonkers enough to prop it with four NF200 for 8 way x16 action. :hitself:
<whimpers>
:slobber: :slobber:
<whimpers some more>
....want one.....BAD!!!
Please....please have dual IOHs....please?
Hope these boards show up soon...although they'll probably be launched to complement Westmere-EP. Hey EVGA....need a beta tester?? My W5580s would love to stretch their legs...:D
I'll pretend I didn't see this...although you might not get off so easily with the other denizens of this site...;)Quote:

im buying one if you can use non 1000 dollar cpu's and still overclock with it. although i fear the price will be 600.
I'd imagine at the lower end you'd still be able to use the E5520 CPU's. But even they cost £290 each and if you are going to be spending so much money you may as well go the whole hog. It seems silly to spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar. I'm in saving mode right now for this monster and can't wait.
Thank you very much Shamino and co over at EVGA for creating such a monster!
If you are serious about Folding@Home then you NEED 24 threads and room for 4 or more GPUs. With BigAdv WUs, you could put out 150,000PPD with such a machine.Quote:

Off of Jacob_F's twitter:
Bah, and I got my Classified but a week ago. Although, this is major overkill unless you do some serious F@H or photo/video encoding and editing.Quote:
Yes, it is a Classified model :) And all the features one would expect on a Classified
Except you could build two separate machines for cheaper and be able to get higher overclocks and higher PPD.Quote:

E5520 for $384.99
^ Cheapest Nehalem Xeon that has hyper-threading
So $770 for the CPUs, then whatever else the mobo is. Hopefully you can use cheapo DDR3 RAM too. It'd be very interesting to see how well the E5520 overclocks, from a quick google check I don't think anyone has been able to OC it yet.

shame on everyone else for not even trying (inc. AMD's side)
There, fixed that for you :up:Quote:

Hmmmm. Well if I were able to obtain a review board I would spend at least its value on watercooling parts, and some mobility is required in setting that up (or at least it helps set it up faster). But my wife has helped me set up water cooling before, I'm sure if I were a leg down she would be more than happy to help.Quote:

Looks cool. Besides, one socket mobos are SOOO 2009.
Is it listed already:

???
No. That board you linked is this board: http://www.evga.com/products/moreinf...170-BL-E762-A1Quote:

Dual Gulftown at 4GHz would be nice, hope the VRMs are upto it.Quote:

I hope.. I know a bunch of people will be very interested in the board but i'd not like to see a relapse of what you can see in my sig :(Quote:

Oh man, NF200, and 2 of them?! Why don't they bundle a shovel of coal and a box of matches instead, at least you can use it voluntarily.
cool, but 24-48GB RAM and no ECC... isn't that a bit risky?
That is if you plan on actually using it as a ramdisk or something... not just websurfing :P:
Yeah I can imagine that and then the board refusing to run at all, tearing all my hair out, hitting the EVGA support forums with the might of Thor and then feeling like a clown having spent 2 grand on a couple of extreme edition CPUs that had their second QPI disabled in firmware, have no way to communicate between them and thus had no place in a dual socket board to begin with. The scratch I got back from selling them would then have to go towards Rogaine treatments (tore my hair out, remember?) and I'd be left with a 600+$ board, three or four 400$-500$ VGAs and 48GB of ECC RAM that costs almost as much as a small car. Ahh, letting your imagination run wild.;)Quote:

Not true, since the memory controller is not in the X58, but in the CPU. The reason why 24GB is max on many X58 board is that Over 4GB memory stick are rare and cost like hell, even tho 4GB memory sticks are also expensive.Quote:

Per system. Check manual/QVL of ANY 55x0 chipset board.
Note that boards with 12 slots might actually work with 48GB of non-ECC RAM, but you will not find it on any QVL. And possibly the BIOS might intentionally not allow it.

oh and some here said it is equipped with dual x58, im not too sure about that.
its possible to use a single x58 ioh for 2 cpus, and more than that, its even possible to do this with cpus that only have 1 qpi link! ;)
whether intel supports it and allows it is another thing... but in theory you could actually plug in two 920s into a dual qpi link x58 equipped board.
there would be no direct cpu to cpu qpi link, but so what? yorkfield doesnt have a direct link from cpu to cpu and talks through the chipset and it performs amazingly well...
lol... saw that sneak peek on twitter. Great board... but what's it gonna be?! Enhanced XXL-ATX? :lol:
It's big...
I'va gotta do a "house upgrade", huh?! :D
Yeah, get rid of the Pool table.. :D J/KQuote:

No idea about source.
wow! 3x 6-pin and 2x 8-pin. :-) Is that 2x NF200 by the PCI-E?
--Matt
so it appears to be eatx?
thats what i was going to say :eek:Quote:

The power supply has to be built for that one. :D
P.S. Size DOES matter! :rofl:
That's def. EATX.
WTF is the 6pin connector for??
Have a look here...
http://www.evga.com/articles/00501/
it has to be E-XL-ATX...
Thanks for the full mobo shot! Assuming it's not a chop, this is my wet dream. It looks to have about every feature EVGA has ever thrown at a board and it's all color-coded. It looks like it was designed to do nothing but break WR's.
But the big question is:
Why does it have an IDE connector? This is definitely the most advanced enthusiast board yet created, I think we can cut it out. No-one spends that much on just a board and processors and doesn't have a SATA optical drive these days or $25 to spend on one. Plus removing it would have allowed the SATA ports to be side-mounted instead.
Whoa, 2x 8-pin and 3x 6-pin connectors... Teh Powerz... are corrupting me! :rofl:
Intimidating...
I'm sure it will soon leave it's mark on WR lists :D
UR right. The spacing between the most upper PCI-e slot and the audio jacks is about identical to the XL-ATX mobo in that article.

I know this is the higher enthusiast board we ever see for a long time until X68 comes out (assumption) but I'm starting to hate EVGA size adoption :shakes:
You can extract the following from the discussion above:
- the board has the same length as the 4-way, but is wider by a fair bit. That's why I called it Enhanced (CF E759/60) XL-ATX (E762)...
The size of actual highend boards is really ridiculous. It forces (potential) buyers to get a case out of very few appropriate ones. Maybe that is intended to push the case market (cases which only sell bad *gg* or developement of new ones) to fight the financial crysis ;)
Wow, I wanted one before but after seeing the full shot I REALLY want one. Not sure if I can afford the CPUs to make it worthwhile to bench though. Best looking dual-socket board ever.
A real, real beast. Impressive :eek:
Thx s0lid for the picture :up:
I agree on the sizes, but pushing the market for bigger cases for these kind of "special" products probably won't happen, since eventually everything will get smaller and a massive case like that would cost a LOT of $$ which could be hard to sell due current economy state, EVGA should make their own case for these kind of enthusiast products :yepp:Quote:
