EVGA Dual LGA-1366 Motherboard Pictured with Chipset Cooling
EVGA showed of its almost-ready dual LGA-1366 high-end workstation motherboard at the ongoing CES event. The motherboard pictured sports a component cooling covering all its vital areas except for one of the CPUs' VRM areas, it gives a fair idea about what the final product could look like. The board itself was detailed earlier.
The chipset cooler design borrows heavily from single-slot graphics cards. A monolithic baseplate covers the northbridge Intel 5500(?), ICH10-class southbridge, and the two NVIDIA BR-03 bridge chips. The heatsink becomes taller over one of the CPU sockets' VRM area. Air is drawn in from the round intake, and pushed out near the expansion slots. the gaps between the expansion slots will do their part in directing the hot air away.

Though nothing stopped you clocking the GT to ultra speeds :wtf:
:laugh:
XD
however, you can use a xeon with dual QPI in a desktop mobo.
for some reason the xeons are super expensive though... i've been looking to get a pair already so i can be ready to boot this monster up once it comes out.
best price i found so far is dual E5530's for $450(pair)(2.4ghz/5.86gh/s QPI's/4core/8threads each)
also... the board uses standard ddr3. just wanted to clear that up.
Also, linky to those CPU's?
love the comments today dan :toast:
L is low power, 60w chips that are hand picked.
E is mid range and 80w that are still low power by any i7 owner.
W is workstation and these are generally desktop equivalents.
X is extreme which signifies both high clocks and/or unlocked multi athough the unlocked multi only comes on the highest numbered chips
Which I can't use because I have no x58 board anymore D:
I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rockout:
Just plug that bad boy into the Hover Dam and you will be ready to go :pimp:
I'm saving money to be able to afford the Rampage 3.
I dont see myself buying this board anytime soon, the cost for this board + 2 chips + ram + another ln2 pot + ln2 dewar, because we all know this is going to be used for Elite Overclockers with Ln2 at there disposal
