EXCLUSIVE! New EVGA Classified Dual-Proc Board - 270-GT-W555!

[N19h7m4r3]

For HPC yes, but for benching 12gb or even 6 will suffice. If I get errors it will be because 2200mhz+ cas 7 needs more volts

Well for benching you'll need to figure out how to keep those Nf200's and the rest of the bottom chips cool without interfering with the graphics cards.

I'd say that'll be pretty hard considering their location.

But I'm sure someone will figure something out

why make a mobo that can only fit in a few cases (such as mine)

what is evga's problem with putting six pin connectors everywhere they can fit them, those six pin's are clearly not needed

and another hot running board from evga

[skycrane]

that has got to be the most idiotic thing ive ever seen...

who uses 20 pin anymore ???
with only 1 8 pin, and 1 4 pin ???
3 8pin pice, and 2 6 pin??

what the heck were they thinking?????????? i mean really if your going to have a psu that draws 2000W, ie 16.7Amps @120v
can you atleast have a 24 pin power, 2 8 pin, and 1 4 pin ???
with 4 6+2 Pcie, and 4 6 pin as well


the only thing they did right on that massive pile of junk was the 24 sata conectors.

You have clearly missed the point of this board.

wow dual cpu oh wait its the worst designed high-end board i have ever seen

[fatguy1992]

Thats not what I was talking about, I meant this board was clearly designed for extreme overclocking.

[TJ TRICHEESE]

yea extreme oc'ing but it could be made so much better wit cpu layout,chipset layout, nf200 actually just redesign the whole board

and i bet that u could get an i7/ram faster on a single cpu board so its not realy extrmeme ocing, more extreme whole system benchmarking, evga just trying to get their parts at the top of 3dmark

[K404]

Gotta call you out on this... you think you can layout a mobo better than the eVGA design team? Aesthetics dont rule all designs... i'd pick electrical purity over looks any day, and I bet this board is very well-routed

more extreme whole system benchmarking, evga just trying to get their parts at the top of 3dmark

Well if there was no market and no money in it, they wouldnt do it.

Says the guy with a dual nf200 p6t7 with a similar chip layout covered by 4 cards

[Torphoto]

Now seeing that this board will probably hit the streets about $600 usd, and you will need 2x xeons, the question is how well can the Xeon E5520 oc and can you start with 1 cpu and add another

BTW where is Movieman?

[ChinStrap]

no its not. you can tell instantly by the cooler ! the fans in the middle over the core.. but the ones nvidia been showing around have the fan more closer located to were ATI has them

why don't they have eVGA stickers on them then? also i thought most GPU a system could run was 4?

the only thing i can see quad 295 being best for would be powerdraw or for 8x monitor...

would be sweet if it's fermi.

They are all needed: extra six pins for the CPU under high loads, extra six pin to pci-e slots to prevent burnouts. nf200s are also needed for 4 way setups (not quad sli). larger form factor looks needed due to cpu power design. its an 8 phase instead of the 10 phase on other classifieds probably due to space constrictions already

sounds like you should be going with a server board for your needs, not an enthusiast overclocking board!

[nyeah]

dream board, i see a 600+ price tag.... hope not

[TheKarmakazi]

thanks for the update

i seriously think this will never see the light of day, how hard would it have been to load a basic bios so you could switch the lights on?

hell i strongly suspect that this is purely a prototype, muddled together for hype. the board looks like someone has just stuck power connecters all over it to encourage some kind of power/performance speculation. and i havent quite put my finger on it yet, but there is something very odd about this board, i am still looking at it, so the jury is out as of just yet.

LMAO you dont know the magic Peter can pull off then

[TheKarmakazi]

Weird format as in it's longer down then E-ATX, meaning I need a new chassis, the same with those 6pin power ports.

Supermicro will easily win over this for me since I get what I can use and get some of the best Reliability around.

Also SLI does with without nf200, as been proven before.

This board isnt trying to steal market share from SM. lol

[Chrono Detector]

I thought there would be heatsinks, wouldn't those NF200 chips run hot without it or whatever?

Anyway, the board needs more SATA ports, and I don't like how they are arranged.

[Tobit]

There were simply removed to show which chips are under them. This is common practice when displaying brand new gear.

Then this board isn't for you, doubtful it was in the first place, move along.. nothing to see here.

[HelixPC]

so which series of CPU is this board going to support, and do you need ECC memory? thanks.

[H2O]

There were simply removed to show which chips are under them. This is common practice when displaying brand new gear.

No, if you look at the benching picture, you can see that the NB, SB, and NF200 chips have a low-profile heatsink covering them, much like the large SB heatsink on the P6T7 or RIIE. This board is really meant to be put under water anyways, so I doubt that it will matter.

(By the way, is there any way that this topic could be merged with the other one? It's getting a little confusing trying to follow two active threads.)

[Tobit]

This board is really meant to be put under water anyways, so I doubt that it will matter.

Says who? Do you have one? No. Low profile doesn't automatically assume water cool only. Plus, the person I quoted was probably referring to the pics of the board lacking heatsinks.. so don't say no to me sir. The benching picture was not done by EVGA.. it is not a final board.

[trn]

supports 2 different cpus???!? I want more info on this. This has to be the first DP board with this feature, i've never heard of anything like that? And does this even require dual QPI cpus?

What NB chipset will the board be using? a Modded X58? 5520? or something completely different?

What a tease, I want more info!

[Blacky]

Says the guy with a dual nf200 p6t7 with a similar chip layout covered by 4 cards

I was about to say the same irony = win

Anyways, pardon my ignorance, but how current psu's are going to power those 6-pins? an adapter that will come with the board or something? this board looks overclocklicious , I always wondered how Shamino know soo much in the mobo design department besides been a badass overclocker ..

[Bolas]

You are all obviously missing the target market for this board. It's me!

I'm the rich noob that will buy it not knowing how to use it properly.

Thank goodness for message boards to help give me a clue what to do with it once I have it.

[miahallen]

Very nice Peter...you've gotta be in geek heaven, working for a company that lets you dream big, and then bring your dreams to reality...this thing is truly a masterpiece
I really am looking forward to seeing more. I'm also very curious about the GPUs you were benching with...what were they?

[[XC] gomeler]

I'm going to go ape all over wprime and Vantage if I get one of these and it clocks bclk a smidgen.
