EVGA Dual LGA-1366 Motherboard Pictured

To put into perspective, how much can you fold with an "average" rig, say stock 550BE + GTX260 1GB?

 

[Fitseries3]

i have a case that could house it and 3 psus with great cooling as well

~5-6000PPD

 

[Fourstaff]

So any serious folder will just buy one of this and double his output?

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

It's a thing of true beauty

 

[MilkyWay]

if your wanting to fold like that just imagine it as amalgamating a few systems together to make one more powerful one

 

[PP Mguire]

Just think of the cash it would take to run a rig like this, and then think about how many good cheaper rigs you can make to get the same if not more PPD from them.

 

[mlee49]

If we dont see a working rig in 3 days, I'm not buying it. I want it to work now and have availability within a Quarter.

How exactly does an "XL-ATX" board fit into a case? Would it work with a case that holds EATX?

 

[Fitseries3]

i have an XL-ATX case

 

[mlee49]

Isn't the Classified just EATX?

 

[Fitseries3]

the dual cpu classified and 4x classified are both XL-ATX meaning they can make use of up to 10 slots.

im just illistrating the size of the mobo tray in the pic.

mountainmods and a few other companies are already making 10 slot cases.

im telling you guys... 2010 is year of the 10 slot mobos... you can take my word on it.

asus has a rampage III extreme on the way that is a 10 slot mobo and has dual nf200s which will allow you to run 4 gpus at 16x

 

[mlee49]

So it's EATX, but just longer to compensate for more PCI-E lanes? right?

 

[Fitseries3]

yeah... XL-ATX signifies a 10 slot mobo or one that is able to have 10 slots.

EATX signifies a mobo that is wider than the normal ATX boards(more mobo past the 2nd set of screws on the 24pin power connector side of a mobo)

 

[mlee49]

Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up.

So are you going to get one Fit?

 

[Fitseries3]

most likely the dual cpu mobo with dual 6core cpus if i can figure out how to sell a few of my organs

i already have a really cool case that can house 2 psu's, PLENTY of radiator to cool everything....

i just lack the money haha

 

[mlee49]

Dibs on your soul

Easy silly folder right here,
EVGA xeon mobo
7 GTX 260 single slot video cards
2-4 Delta Fans, Benchtable setup.

4x Corsair TX 750watt PSU's Set Neatly ziptied to stay clean.
2x Xeons i9's, doing 3.8-4.0ghz on 2 seperate Looped 360-240 rads.
And you got your self a folder.
2x3gb triplechannel sets of some nice 1600Mhz ram?

Or Get 900+ bucks in water blocks, 2x 480Rads, Silly loop for 7 GTX 295 video cards.


1512 folding card cores, 24 folding Processor cores.= EPIC PPD.
Just leave that sucker on a big bench table in the garage, and such, and check on it once in a while. Delta fans wont blow threw insulated walls at sleep .

Also If you get Really silly. You can go by 900+ bucks in water blocks for some GTX 295's and have a huge 480+480 rad loop cooling 14 240 core GPU'z which would = 3360 shaders.


The max you can have on this mobo

you trying to insult me?

i have more than enough watercooling gear... more than you mentioned. over $1800 in stuff actually.

if i had the money i would have 4x gt300's which will put out more PPD than 6 gtx295s and still fit in the allocated space and still fit the power envelope that 2 enermax 1050watt psu's that i have can provide.

i plan on having 2 6core cpus along with 12gb of ram and at the least.. very least.. 3 gt300's

yes it will drain my wallet faster than elliot spitzers hooker but i will have one HELL of a rig that will likely blow anyone out of the water.

EDIT:

2 140x4 hwlabs gtx560s
1 140x2 hwlabs gtx280

But the CPU is already the bottle neck in GPU preformance, the Rampage 3 has only 1 CPU. This board has 2, and sadly will out preform the Rampage 3.

i never said it wouldnt.

EVGA has the upper hand and show no signs of remorse.

you also have to remember though... the 6core cpus will likely come close to dual quads clocked slower. so its not THAT far off.

besides... cpu isnt a bottleneck if you use it for CUDA and folding apps.... its only a bottleneck in benchmarks

Well slow is kinda relitive 2 QE975 will beat 1 985 handily. I wouldn't say close isn't a good adjetive to describe them.

 

[Fitseries3]

once again may i remind you that you can only use xeons on this mobo. i7's will not work.

you have to use chips with dual QPI links.

 

[Hayder_Master]

this is awesome , with two CPU avoid GPU bottleneck

The more the merrier, as far as I am concerned. I want this board. I hope I can afford it at tax time.

 

[tonyd223]

true, but you need to throw it in your car and get it up to 88 MPH for it to work properly.

not sure he understood the reference - ah the youth of today...
