DO WANT!!!
Very Impressive.
Although a 25man Raid is still a bit of an ask..
I came across this last week whilst researching into multi slot cpu / pci-express motherboards, I'm so wanting it :(
Seen some reviews the past week about this kick-ass system .... It's not just record breaking, it's insane oO
Just look at it ...

Houston, we have liftoff!
FB-DIMMs..... boooo! :cursing:
By early next year you might be able to use dual CPUs with eight cores each, for 16 total.
Then you might petition Blizzard to bring back 40-man raids. :)
Looking at the motherboard, that layout is ingenious - especially the fans with the heat sink surrounding it. God damn that's clever.
HAHA, doupt you cud runn 1 copy of Crysis wit all settigns at max XDQuote:

might have a chanse if your set it all to the lowest of the low XD

Amagad! you cud runn Crysis full grapix!!! (or not daam that game is big XD)
The CPU heatsink/fans? Those are standard aftermarket Zalman 9500/9700 heatsink/fans that have been out for a couple years and not something new by this specific board.. they're very good, but I prefer the extra quietness of my Scythe Ninja. :)Quote:

As for the chipset heatsink/shroud/fan.. that's definitely cool.
lol holy shyt. That is one mean looking motherboard. WTF.
I'm laughing right now.
I had to post this on Digg.
Digg It
=="COUGH"==
1) A) there is no way at this time to run even two of 3870 X2 in crossfire, not even talking about 4X of those
B) also even if this board supports SLI it doesn't support triple SLI
2) and by next year we will definitely will see 8 cores, no this board will not support it.
3)do you guys forget that this is Xenon system with 771 socket? the only C2D that will support this board will be Core 2 Extreme QX9775 for no less then $1500 each!
4)and board itself going to cost at least $500! and how much do you think that memory going to cost you? plus FB-DIMM no where near as good as normal DDRII
5) you need at least 1.6kW to run this system with two 8800GTX in SLI, biggest PSU right now 1350W for ~$400+
Yes you can waist
$1500x2 C2D
$500 MB
$470x4 3870X2 (lack driver support)
$380x4 4G memory
$200~$500 PSU 1200W (need at least 1.6kW)
around $7000 without case/water-cooling/WD-Raptor/Drives/8LCDs/etc.
and I still can build PC under $2k that performs better that this.
you can run quad-SLI between two dual-GPU cards, so you could run two 9800gx2's
or 4 xfire cards...
wasn't QUAD SLI term for 7950GX2 where one card had two CPUs like 3870x2 now, you needed two of them, but driver support was suck, and pretty much felt like abandon project to me.Quote:

and now you can't run new ati 3870x2 in crossfire yet, because one card is like crossfire, and fresh out of testing labs and still have tons of bugs
if they made the bossfights more like molten core i think doing a 25man instance solo would be a good challenge.
Ordered

with 32gb of ram =)
i have the first gen, 4 cores and runs 4 copies of wow easily.
Well, it`s ordered :P
Looking forward to test it in action, damn cool!
I will try it (first) with 2x Intel Xeon E5355, 8 GB RAM and 3x Geforce 8800 Ultra Cards.
Hope it will rock ^^
But i`am not sure if this will be enough power for 25 wow instances..
1 and 2 in SLI and the 3rd for monitors 3 and or 4? or are you going with 6 monitors off of one mobo?Quote:
