Wonder if it will fit in a TJ07?

Pretty sure it won't.

I wonder if this will fit in my gf.

[massman]

That's disgusting.

Although, with Vaseline, everything can be made to fit.


I'm going to put one in an Antec 300 I think.

I wonder if this will fit in my gf.

Can she hold a Pizza Hut box insider her? or only a Domino's box?

[Bolas]

I'm thinking about adding a couple more PCI slots to my case design for the EVGA XL-ATX, this board would have plenty of room in there.

I know it's not real, but haven't given up, and things are happening that may make it a reality......

Mick, so fill us in.. when and where can we buy this case? Can we all go in on making it? Check your PM's please.

And yes, we definitely need it to hold the XL-ATX EVGA dual socket beast!

Thats like trying to cram 10lbs of crap into a 2lb box.

While I'm a large fan of the concept of dual overclockable CPUs, I personally find EVGAs implementation of it to be wanting in a few areas. The NF200 chips are major flaw (IMHO) that could easily have been rectified with dual 5520s. The fact that dual 5520s weren't used reeks of NVidia coercement, with the threat of withholding SLI support. unless the NF200 chips were used. Current workstation boards on the market that use dual 5520 IOHs have 4 genuine x16 PCI-E slots, and are more than capable of handling any amount of video card I/O, the only problem is NVidia's obstinacy in permitting SLI. NVidia's NF200 chips may not bother some people, but they have proven to be an annoyance with at least one of my pieces of hardware, the Adaptec 52445, which considered the x16 PCI-E slot provided to it by the NF100 chip (on my Skulltrail rig) to be not at least x8, not to mention the fact that the NF chips run incredibly hot. Bottom line...the NF chips are a vastly inferior solution to the issue of insufficient PCI-E lanes than are dual 5520 chipsets, and are a solution that introduces the potential for significant issues with hardware.

Moving on, the six memory slots are nice, as they can be forced to 1333, unlike most current workstation boards. I'm wondering about all the 6 pin connectors on the board. Two EPS 8 pin connectors aren't enough? They should be and likely are...it seems more likely though that either one of the two (the 6 pin of the 8 pin) will be needed to be used to accomodate those folks whose power supplies lack dual EPS connectors, but have a surplus 6 pin or two.

The non-adherance to the E-ATX specification is also something that's not in this board's favor. Precious few cases on the market will be able to hold this board, and even my capacious case will have a tough time accepting this board.

Will it support ECC ram as well as enable and process error correction?

Searching has been fruitless.

[jcool]

Even tho the CPUs are capable of handling ECC ram, I suppose ECC support isn't very high up on evga's priority list right now. OC before stability :S

this almost made it into my sig...

...but i dont have any vaseline handy... lol

Here comes one for you, XS style ready.

[Mick64]

Here's a new render of my case design. It now has 10 PCI slots and as you can see, the dual socket board fits in there nicely.

[shoopdawoopa]

Zomg, my pants they are ruined.

[melle.k]

that is just the most awesome thing I have ever seen

build it or you will be killed and your renders will be stolen :P

[Etihtsarom]

What's the ETA on this EVGA?

[Mick64]

What's the ETA on this EVGA?

I believe it is April....

[crazy1323]

I am ready for this board to replace my Rampge II Extreme.

Now all I need to do is get another Corsair HX1000 PSU.

[moose517]

haha wow, nice work mick, if you ever can get that case made i will gladly buy one, i love my MM case buts its just to damn bulky, yours fits a watercoolers dream and still is standard case design. seriouds kudos to you and your amazing engineering skills.

[mrcape]

Is anyone benching this yet? I'm curious about the power setup.

If you make that thing available count me in as well. Been thinking about your case ever since i saw this board

[metalop1g]

Now, I don't feel stupid qualifying Mick64's renders as g33k pr0n

[Cool Vibrations]

That's disgusting.

lmfao, you guys are great

[EnJoY]

That's disgusting.

I'm going to tell her you said that. We'll see how awkward it is next time you come to dinner.
