SkullTrail anyone???

So many pages, just bla-bla-bla, no useful information.
This thread is turning into the most useless one.

I received the mobos the day I left town for the holidays . . .took pics and posted before I left. Sorry if that is not good enough for you.

Patience my friend. I want info too.
A few of these ST boards that went out were DOA and are being replaced.
Toss in the Christmas holiday and things happen slowly.
People also go away or back to family.
It will happen..
Some info we got today from a guy in WCG who just got the SM 5400 board.
The same pll controller in systool that works with the 5000X boards seems to work on his SM X7DWA-N board

I'd like to see what my clovers can do in that board.
I have some X5350 B3's with 10 multi's..
HMM, 10x400..

Simple multi-threaded memory test would make me happy. I just wanna know how bad (or not) it is.

Give me a test to run and I will run it. Will check with Intel to see if it is pubishable.

we already know about other server boards but they are server boards not great at overclocking the skulltrail will be great at over clocking. please post some more pics etc and when is the official release date for the board by intel? that way i can wait in line early XD

[Zytek_Fan]

He said he is on vacation for the holidays. Be patient!

Can you please trim your post and just put a link in? Nice find on the mobo tho bud.

Done..Youthfull enthusiam..I understand totally.
Oh, would it be asking too much for you to head home early?

Yes, I am totally joking!

http://cpu.rightmark.org/download/cpurm_b5_bin.exe
Download it,install, find Multi-Threaded Memory Test utility in the directory where it will be installed. Set amount of tested memory 20-30Mb per thread. Set Read with/prefetch, prefetch distance 256 for each thread. Run 1,2,4, 8 threads and compare the total bandwidth.

You can also check how total memory bandwidth is divided among FSBs/CPUs. Each process is assigned to each core, 1-8. Notice how the total bandwidth will change for different sets of threads.
For example, if we run thread 1, we may get X total bandwidth, if we add thread 2, which is assigned to the core2 on the same package/FSB , we may see small increase in total bandwidth. However, if we add thread 5, which is aasigned to core5 on different package/FSB, we may see almost 2X total bandwidth. You have to find the core-package mapping yourself.

I will be jealous if i see at least 2x improvement in memory bandwidth over my old
dual Xeon E5320@2660MHz + 5000X platform. At least, i say. Not sure if this will satisfy me. Probably not. 3x will be needed most probably.

Is that really Skulltrail? My post or the one in your post? I hope you are not saying I am a liar . . .


well i have to order the CPUS for the Skulltrail. Guess what I found on my doorstep when I got home today:

Guess I will pop it in Hellmouth tomorrow with TRI SLI 8800GTXs and a QX9650 . . .the proc under phase change and see what happens . . .

Wanna send that my way when you're done with it?

sure thing

[joe.denice]

enjoy mate, so far soo good with my board, i will want to do some watercooling soon!

[generalpetres]

still no update lol

[DarthBeavis]

still waiting on procs for the SkullTrail guys . . .do have TRI SLI on the 780i going with a QX9650 . . .

[sierra_bound]

Do you have any BIOS shots you can share with us, specifically voltage options?

Edit: Never mind, you said you don't have the CPU's yet. Is there a manual detailing the voltage options? Just curious.

[Gunnz Akimbo]

cant you just piece it all together like lego, and take a picture?

To see what a huge mobo and 3-way sli looks like, do you have a couple of TRultra 120's ?
