been saving for a new cruncher for a while and the q6600 has done me well,

watch this space

**INFRNL** · 01-07-2010, 08:53 PM

stupid? you have to have a server based 1366 for that evga mobo correct? you wouldn't be able to run 2 920's on it? I have got to win the lotto

**lkiller123** · 01-07-2010, 09:28 PM

Well, it is the new Skulltrail

Is that even possible, though?

Yeah, I've seen it done. I'll have to try and find it for you. They had 6 GTX 295s and a gtx 285. They had to make a special BIOS to recognize all 13 GPUs and still had to limit it to 13.

I believe so.

The model Xeons that are built for multi-socket operation have I think 2 QPI links or something like that so they can communicate with the NB and with the other chip (and pull data from that chips RAM).

Correct. Btw some pics from other threads:

FOUR GTX 295's!!!

I've never wanted a motherboard so much in my life. This thing looks incredible.

**OldChap** · 01-08-2010, 02:10 PM

I suspect that with 2 nf200 chips and a few flexible risers once the bios matures some you may well be able to use ALL the pcie x8/16 slots now that could be an interesting GPU Grid/Folding machine and you could soon have 24 threads of WCG at the same time

**Chris_redfield** · 01-08-2010, 03:10 PM

I don't suppose anyone wants to share their OC results with us do they?

What kind of OC's are the Xeon 55xx chips capable of? Does the QPI hold them back or does it not make a difference and are they on par with the 920 and other desktop i7 CPU's?

**jcool** · 01-08-2010, 07:52 PM

Dual QPI makes no difference. Gainestowns OC just as well as Bloomfields, if you put them in an overclockable motherboard.
Expect even better OCs from 32nm parts, believe me when I tell you 24 threads @ 4,5Ghz 24/7 is very realistic. I've got the CPUs since september or so, now WHERE IS MY BOARD

**Otis11** · 01-08-2010, 10:36 PM

I want to see those numbers jcool...

**jcool** · 01-09-2010, 02:23 AM

Try 100k/d WCG

All I can do now is pray that EK have a waterblock ready for the board when it arrives.

**INFRNL** · 01-09-2010, 05:50 PM

Damn I want one, but a lot of cash I do not have to buy one

Think of it as a long term investment. ppd/power ratio.

**Snow Crash** · 01-10-2010, 06:32 PM

Look ... I want this board as much as the next cruncher but seriously, unless you have a real passion for DP this should likely be a pass as it will be much more economical to buy and crunch 2 mobos instead.

**anubis** · 01-10-2010, 06:41 PM

Yeah, but 8/12 threads per board is SO 2009...

**D_A** · 01-10-2010, 06:53 PM

It might be more economical to BUY two 1P boards, but I can't see it being more economical to run two 1Ps compared to the same processors in a 2P board. There's just too much duplicated hardware using double the power for it to work out.

**Snow Crash** · 01-13-2010, 03:09 PM

Even if it costs $10 USD more a month to run 2 1P systems that is only $120 a year and you
will likely be paying that in the difference just for the board itself. Keep in mind I'm talking about crunching and
crunching only so there is no need to go high end inside the X58 world. This is all off the top of my head so if
anyone can help out with a ballpark estimate of what it would take to kit out this out this fantastic DP monster
that might help those of us who are trying to work a budget

**D_A** · 01-13-2010, 03:16 PM

Ahhh yes ... that accursed word ... "budget". It ruins all the best laid plans of mice and cruncher alike.

**Snow Crash** · 01-13-2010, 06:02 PM

I can't wait to see the results after someone clocks the snot out of a couple of serious hexcore xeons with this puppy

Congrats to EVGA and everyone involved in helping to bring both the OC and crunching communities a to a new level

**INFRNL** · 02-12-2010, 10:28 PM

is there any update to when this board will actually be available?

Also I believe the correct form factor is XL-ATX just like the Classified 4-way

This thing is so sick; realistically; what would be the estimated cost of this mobo and cpu's? I am guessing approx $600 for the board, $1000 or more for ea cpu? Ram, I believe it can run standard DDR3 or reg EEC, correct?

I have never ran a system with dual cpus' would this benefit you for standard use or do you need to actually run special programs to benefit from dual cpu's?

anyone want to buy me one for my birthday coming in August?

I think it's XL-EATX.

You can use normal 5000 series LGA1366 cpus on that board so you can get cpus for 300-1500$/ea, depending what you'll pick.

Well for ram, normal DDR3 works.

and it sounded like only 2-3 months for availability at around the $500'ish range maybe up to 600.

I so love this thing and I'm currently pricing out options for this or a 6 core i9 SP system. Still debating on if I'm gona take the plundge or not. Already got a PSU picked out but only a few days left to jump on it

And i just bought the PSU ;-p

**Chris_redfield** · 02-14-2010, 01:25 PM

EATX XL is that size which only fits inside about 8 cases isn't it?

Is it really going to be EATX XL?

Bugger. I've got a powder coated V2100 I was hoping to drop this into.
