The EVGA twitter feed said that it would be a full-blown Classified motherboard, so I would expect that it would have very similar (if not the same) overclocking features as the single socket Classifieds (E759, E760, E761, E762). It even has a rear IO connection for the EVBot.
Rumors on XS has it that this bord will be revealed thursday at CES. Untill then, pictures: A member on XS pointed out this connector: Which would go well with this EVGA product: EVGA EVBot Tuning Utility This size is funny though. I see it as a E-XL-ATX board (pic from evga.com): Looking at all the power plugs, I have no idea what kind of PSU will power this board. And I see a IDE connector, wtf?
Too bad it's not a dual IOH config. That would be an amazing about of PCIe bandwidth on a board like that.
If you look up the single CPU Classified 4-way SLi -- it also requires 9 PCI slots, and the current "compatibility" list only lists 4 cases, of which only 2 I'd consider (Corsair Obsidian, and Lian-Li PC80). Eitherway, cool board, great folding platform, shame there are no inexpensive (sub-$900) 24GB DDR3 triple channel kits around.
I'd actually expect that board to be even larger than the XL-ATX. There's the single-socket four-way SLI Classified board that already meets the XL-ATX-"standard", and this seems even wider. And if the guys at EVGA aren't totally nuts, those power connectors are PCI-e-connectors. That's what I'd do, anyway, it's the same +12 V anyway, so why would they require some special PSU...
fold, game, encode and cook something at the same time with the amount of heat that think will produce.
As the resident bit-tech/CPC dual-processor nut I'm already talking to EVGA about a review sample. Should know more in a few days.
I can't say shite. My project is an octal core based on an MSI K9ND Speedster. We're trying to update microcode for Shanghais now.
If you compare the screwholes on the size-sketch and the picture above, it seems to be XL-ATX. Yearh that seems right. I doubt any single existing PSU would power this bord with 4-way SLI/CF though?
