Interesting

I know its not EVGA thats all in the range, plus not sure how our GPUs will run on this or its over clocking capablities. But it looks interesting none the less :)

Look pretty cool. With two 5520 north bridges does this mean we can run non DP xeons in it? Plus I think I smell burnt 24-pins or traces for heavily overclocked 4-way x-fire without additional power to the pcie slots.

Well SLI would be enough for me on my main rig, a pair of 920 D0's would be sweet, I have my Raid Card to install also.

Either way its still a costly setup going to Dual CPU's

Hmm looks like it has to use
Dual Intel Xeon 5500 Series

And those babies are not cheap :(

Buckeye I'm confused as all get out with xeon naming. I know the "X" series is DP, but what about W series? Isn't there a X5570 and W5570 or whatever? Do you know what all the pre-fixes mean?

LOL I have no clue :)

I sent a PM off to the Dual CPU man himself to see what he says.

That board/CPU's/RAM would hurt cost wise for a main rig. Plus those CPU's come at 1.8ghz stock and only 1 HWBOT sub with a OC at 2.9ghz I think it was. So they are not mosnter OCers for the price of them.

I think it would be cool to have a DP 24/7 rig.

What about L5640 Says 32nm westmere DP?

EDIT: NM Cant afford it, not going to do it nope nuhuh

Yup I agree, but no two ways about it, it takes a bit of cash for these bad boys.

Before I spent that kind of change I would get the EVGA board and use Guftowns for better OCing.

Well going DP is very expensive and packs plenty of horsepower. If you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right huh? :Dizzy: If I know you and your love for CPU's well enough, I can see the urge being too strong and you will be ordering that evga DP board with some W5680's :ohcrap:

[Buckeye]

I dont know about that, anymore its hard for me to spend the change to do this stuff, plus all the GPU's and good RAM.

I must live off of watching Kal these days on his live sessions LOL

Tyan dual socket boards dont OC. You can use software like setfsb (if it supports it, which is doubtful since setfsb is dead now) to OC a little. 99% of people hit a hard wall @ ~138bclk. So you basically need the unlocked multi cpus if you want to OC

Yeah I saw that. To much of an investment for that, when you consider taking that money and getting EVGA/Gulftown setup that would be a better investment.

Yup TYAN is a server board company not going to have any overclocking features usually.

The enthusiast manuf board walls up at around 205 blck but with a nice unlocked multi, thats plenty fine.
