I just came out of my meeting at the EVGA suite here in Las Vegas and I have some great pictures and new specs to report on this hot board! I was able to have some one on one time with EVGA’s Jacob Freeman and Peter Tan (aka Shamino) and was able to see this new board hands-on (a world first).
EVGA Classified Dual Processor Motherboard
First of all, most of you are probably aware of the primary specs that have already been released for the board. These include three phase PWM for each set of memory slots per CPU, industry leading digital PWM for the CPU’s, dual NF200 chips for Quad SLI (and still more lanes free), ICH10R, and high quality solid state capacitors, chokes, and PCB.
Some things you may not know:
The board is able to run with two entirely different models of CPU, or the same CPU’s at different multipliers.
There are two 8 pin, three 6 pin, and two 4 pin floppy connectors in and around the CPU sockets for delivering extra power to the DIMM slots, CPU’s and graphic cards while under extreme overclocking condition. Peter tells me that only the standard 8 pin connectors will be required for most operational circumstances and that only under really serious overclocking will the additional power connectors become necessary.
Peter says the board itself is essentially finished, what is left is BIOS tuning which is still relatively early on and will take a few more weeks to complete.
Board will have two SATA 6GBPS ports on board (red ports), as well as two USB 3.0 on the back IO. Marvel is the chip.
MSRP is still unknown, but I was able to ascertain that it will be between $450 and $550, pricey but to be expected for a board of this caliber and quality.
Expect boards to arrive to the market sometime in April, or possibly later if BIOS tuning takes longer than expected.

“I think I actually, legitimately, saved that other guy’s life,” Timberlake jokes. “We could have had an insurance claim on our hands.” Justin broke away from his boy band and made noise as a solo artist. I guess it was pretty good noise, since his two solo albums sold more than seven million copies. “I couldn’t have been more excited,” says Timberlake, adding that Eastwood still packs serious intensity. “I saw the tape, he was terrific,” says Eastwood, 82. Timberlake’s future involves preparing for the release of two more upcoming major films (the action flick Runner Runner and the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis) Eastwood’s next project, a remake of A Star Is Born, is on hold.

you may need a special power supply but more then likely just two! haha. although, i built my newest computer with the enermax 1250, and they guarantee its compatibility for generations to come *i.e. the 12 pin modular cables*. im just guessing but you would probably be able to just ask them for the new cables youd like and get them pretty quick. ive almost got enough as it is stock though…
on another note. did they happen to mention compatibility or any testing numbers with the new hex cores
and could you imagine when the new GTX 400′s come out. now that i think about it, the dual nf200′s, couldnt they support more gpu cores since a single nf200 can already do two dual gpu cards? hmm, someone school me plz!
AMAZING LOOKING BORED! i wanna see some heatsinks on it though…
This is going to be a beast for crunching.
um wont we need a special power supply for all the 6pin ports every were, say 2 each video card thats 8 plus the three on the board, and i dont belive mine has a dual 8 for the mobo?? were do i find such a beast??

Can’t wait to see the multi gpu scaling capabilities on this, should theoretically be able to run 4 gpu’s at 16x, instead of 2 at 16x and 2 at 8x. Anyone for 90fps crysis @ 2560 enthusiast?

that board looks huge! haha
This will be interesting to see how it stacks up once they are able to run some tests and benchies on it.
keep the good stuff coming EnJoy!
