3 x 8-pin power, 2 x 6-pin power FOR THE MOTHERBOARD ALONE.

strange layout on the 12 ram slots unless four of them are 1 cpu only slots
Yuck, a step backwards from the SR-2. Looks like this isn't going to be my next board.
the socket 2011 will support quad channel quad on one triple on the other maybe?
I wonder if quad card sli or greater will finally be back by the time this is for sale?
hmm, I see two 8-pin and three 6-pin. Not three 8-pin and two 6-pin.Juggalo23451 said:3 x 8-pin power, 2 x 6-pin power FOR THE MOTHERBOARD ALONE.
It looks like one CPU has two slots per channel and the other CPU only has one slot per channel. Probablly due to space issues (putting 8 ram slots on the CPU nearer the back panel would probablly cost an expansion slot or two)strange layout on the 12 ram slots unless four of them are 1 cpu only slots
This board is a joke. Why the heck get two CPUs if you can't use the full RAM? Yay EVGA.
Wow, think of money you could pour into a system based on that board. Especially if you populated it with 12 x 8GB ram sticks, and quad SLI.
I agree, i'm just puzzled as to what the two big BGAs are. Presumably one of them (at a guess the one near the SATA and SAS ports) is the PCH but what is the other?Edit: as for the PCI-E layout, I don't think it would be a big issue.
meh, I suspect being based on server parts this board will support BIG sticks of ram so the max ram will still be bloody high even if it's a bit lower than the platforms theoretical maximum.iconiK said:This board is a joke. Why the heck get two CPUs if you can't use the full RAM? Yay EVGA.
Maybe it's an additional PCI-E controller. Or a new bridge chip PCI-E 3.0 capable to allow direct communication between the two pairs of 16x slots so they only have to go through QPI links when they have to access the memory from the CPU they aren't attached to. And/or for having x8 capabilities for all the ports. Remember that each CPU should provide 40 lanes of PCI-Express 3.0, two x16 and one x8, 6 ports in total. The seventh port is left alone without PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth if they don't use some trick.I agree, i'm just puzzled as to what the two big BGAs are.
