Some more details, specs, & pics in a hands on. Different cpus and speeds(One can mix and match as wanted or not It seems), I'm impressed and all for maybe $450 to $550. :D The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Some more details, specs, & pics in a hands on. It would be really cool if it was using a watchdog processor of some kind. So if in your overclocking one of the CPU's went OTL it could restart those resources. That kind of hardware normally cost's $1000's instead of $100's.

Yeah well this is not a Workstation or Server motherboard and uses ordinary DDR3 Intel X58 Dimms as Its for overclockers and enthusiasts with the money to spend on this motherboard, So It ain't gonna happen.

Some more details, specs, & pics in a hands on. If they have done what I'm thinking they might have. Then there is a chance that dual i7's could be used. In a dual Xeon system 1 QPI connects to the chipset & the other QPI connects to the other CPU. EVGA might have found a sneaky way of running dual CPU's with having to connect the two CPU's together with a QPI. Much like running dual cellerons wasn't suppose to work back in the slot1/socket370 days. The group that I'm a member of is actually dedicated to the BP6/VP6 motherboards.

Some more details, specs, & pics in a hands on. I doubt It, I ran Opterons back a few Years and the i7 X58 cpus are very much like them, Except their faster, Much faster, If one had two Opteron 170 cpus they could not run on the same motherboard as a pair, one sure, just not two, As the 270 had the HT(HyperTransport) links to do that, The 170 did not have the links and from what I've read the i7 x58 cpus don't have the Links either, It would have been nice, But that's Intel. Socket Slot1/370 is a whole different horse of a different color. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

You might just need a PSU like this one to really get that thing humming. :) SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

I wonder if this one would work? I wouldn't mind getting this one. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

Hi, was reading this thread and have some basic questions. This board does look interesting, esp. if it's going to be used as a multi GPU rig for BOINC or folding. I have been doing a little reading up on what's coming next, seems to be Intel's Octo cores (Beckton), and the LGA1567 socket. I've been building PC's since the days of the early 486's, and know all too well the inexorible grind of progress, but am trying to figure out when it's time to jump back on the merry go round. My current best board is an ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution, running a i720, but as I'm getting sucked into SETI more and more, I could just imagine what all those cores, and it loaded up with high end GPUs could do... Any idea as to when the LGA1567/Beckton will be released? I know intel has a roadmap, I found one that supposedly shows the one for 2010-2011, http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/img/pcw/docs/302/074/html/kaigai1.jpg.html but didn't see Beckton on it. And then there is the cost, anyone willing to do a SWAG on it? This seems to be the bomb diggity, but then, one can always wait for the next big thing that is going to be even better, for about the same $ or possibly even less... It's always tough to throw your chips on the table when you know that is going to happen, but then if you follow that logic all the way to it's conclusion, you'd never buy a new one. Based upon what I've read, it seems that it will be quite a leap in performance, but is it worth the wait? This board seems to have all the candy, and it appears that others like it are going to be released soon as well. Anyone have an opinion on this? You might just need a PSU like this one to really get that thing humming. :) Took a look at this PS, and was wondering the input voltage? Most PS's are limited to less than 1500w, issues with a std 15 amp outlet, and I believe 1800 or so is it for 20 amp. I didn't see a mention that it required 220v, which would be easily do-able at 2000w, wouldn't strain a 15 amp outlet at that voltage. Hmmm |

Since this thread is about LGA1366, I won't comment on 1567 as I don't know anything about It. I'll pass on External psus. As to 220v here in the USA, It's two paired 110v+110v power lines(paired with a Ground and a Neutral wire, Local Building Code dependent I'd think, As some allow just a Ground as the Neutral wire may be optional in some areas) and not true 220v(at least in Residential areas), So I believe the limit here is 20A service or 2000w max, Making a bigger psu for US 220v might be possible, But not something most psu makers would even touch, As then You'd need a whole new circuit, While for a 20A 110v AC circuit You'd need the the right type of 20A breaker to match Yer box, 12G cable and 20A 110v AC outlets, Some newer places already use 12G cable already, Older places might and most likely do have 14G(smaller Gauge) cables still and they can only go to 15A safely.

Most 120v outlets are designed for a max of 15A. Some of the duplex outlets can be configured so each outlet is run from a separate circuit. That PSU is designed with 2 power cable inputs. I've not bothered to look at the manual for it, but it may have different configurations based on your needs. Also there are 20 & 30A 120v outlets you can have installed. But if I needed that kind of power level I'd just get a 240v line installed. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Well, actually, that's what I did. I set up my workspace in the basement with 2 30 amp circuits, one 120v and one 240, so I could run whatever hardware that came along, as well as multiple PSU's for the farm. I'll post some pics when I get it all set up and presentable, but it's finally coming along now that I had some solid chunks of time off over the holidays to mess with it. Getting kinka excited, it's been almost a year in the making. Interesting that it has 2 120v inputs, as a normally configured single outlet can't supply over 15A. It sounds interesting to me, though a bit expensive, but I would really like to figure out a way to power multiple boards off of one PSU. This may be a way to do it, but still working out how to control of the individual boards independently (reboot, etc). Back on topic, I think I will hold off till I see this thing out in the wild for a bit, and check out it's reviews. It does seem to be quite the board, though. All it takes is money... |

Funny, I've been around since before 1990 when the 20A spec for circuits here were made part of the national electrical code, And I've looked for 30A 120v outlets and breakers and asked numerous electricians and found nothing, 30A must be twist lock then and that's usually something found in construction, If that's what Yer talking about. Most times I've asked for 120v 30A circuits I've gotten the "sorry doesn't exist" or "It's not for residential use" lines. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

If someone wants a 30A 120 volt recepticle in their house I don't tell them it is only for commercial, I just install a 30 amp RV recepticle and change the cordcap to match. 30 amp single pole breakers aren't hard to find at a supply house.

Yeah it is ment for RV use, but I've seen it used in lots of places. It's called a NEMA_TT-30. Also in the single phase breaker selction Square D makes up to 70A models. With the way power requirments of machines are going I could see major wiring upgraded needed for some machines. Using 4 GTX295's in this board, with their max power rating of 289w, is nearly 1200w just for the video cards.

Some official info goodness. Like the article said, I wonder how much of a dent this red-and-black HPTX (15- x 13.6-inches!) monstrosity will cost to outfit and then What will happen when It's turned on and unleashed? Could It crash the main breaker in the house? The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

four fermi card 1200W, rest of system 600W = dedicated 20 amp breaker. i wish they wouldn't have used two nf200 chips and gone with a second IOH chip, for 72 lanes of pcie lovin'. |
