X79 SR-2-Two Teaser

Not sure, I mistakenly said x79 when I should have said Socket 2011 :/

It's ok, we expect noob moves like that out of you.

This will use whatever the updated version of the Intel 5520 chipset is. 5530? 5620? 6520?

Oh no you don't Jebo, you will not pass the noob baton to me...:p
 
Anyone have a rough ETA on this bad boy? Gotta start saving pennies.

Basically just an SR2 with 2011 sockets. Not a bad thing I suppose. Seriously though, why not 4 more dimm slots?

Also, ffs, its not using the x79 chipset.

lol its evga aka nvidia's bitch, you actually expected them to use the x79 chipset?

With an UEFI bios, this board might be able to support a full load of 7 gpu's sporting single slot waterblocks (or bitminer style ribbon extenders). While GPU folding is currently out of favor, Stanford's willingness to drastically play around with the point structure means this may be a useful feature at some point.

There are much more economic options to run 7 GPUs, if that was something you would want to do.

You...you don't quite understand what's going on here, do you? :rolleyes:

The chipset won't be x79 as that is a single socket chipset, however it WILL still be Intel. Nvidia doesn't really play into this, at all.

imo:
[they wont need nf200's unless intel doesn't fix the chipset*...cough...

As to what the chipset will be called...meh Intel was using the same chipset all the way down... they may call it something different at 1p but I don't think it is different.]

*"conjecture" something about leaking pcie signals :rolleyes:
