FAQ of W555 You can run different models of Dual QPI Xeon together – such as 5520 + 5540, even Quad Core + Hexa Core together – but must be from same family – ie, NO for Westmere + Nehalem – Performance scaling is fine You can run turbo mode on one CPU and non Turbo Mode on the other too You can run a single CPU (Must be Dual QPI) in any one of the 2 sockets You can run Non ECC normal DRAMs but also ECC Rams too Dual QPI Xeon DRAM Multipliers/Uncore Multipliers are locked so you will only be able to use maximum 2:8 or 2:10 depending on segment of CPU You can run 200 – 205MHz Baseclocks on air – 230+ needs LN2 Motherboard is 381mm width by 345mm length Motherboard supports 4-way SLI on current GTX285/upcoming Flagship VGA Motherboard supports 4-way Quad Fire Motherboard will ship with typical 1366 Xeon socket back-plates but normal X58 socket back-plates will be bundled in package Motherboard bundled with ECP V3 – Vcore Boosters + Speedfan 100% Click Boost + CPUs/PCIEs Disable Power Consumption Tests: 2.8GHz x 2 @ 1.20v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 1x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 535w from AC socket 2.8GHz x 2 @ 1.20v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 4x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 991w from AC socket 4.0GHz x 2 @ 1.30v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 1x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 766w from AC socket . 4.0GHz x 2 @ 1.30v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 4x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 1,243w from AC socket 4.2GHz x 2 @ 1.40v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 1x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 913w from AC socket 4.2GHz x 2 @ 1.40v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 4x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 1,390w from AC socket

shamino 4.2GHz x 2 @ 1.40v w 24 threads Full Load + 12GB Rams + 4x GTX285 Classified Full Load = 1,390w from AC socket That's intense. shamino Motherboard will ship with typical 1366 Xeon socket back-plates but normal X58 socket back-plates will be bundled in package I thought that you can only run Xeons on this board? Why the normal X58 back plates?

Ah nice. Also, what is the minimum amount of RAM (and config) you can run in this thing? ie: Can you put 3 sticks of RAM for one CPU but have both CPU sockets populated?

you can run 1 stick and leave one cpu unpopulated, performance is better if both cpus have their dimms to themselves.

Try running Prime95\LinX on the CPU's and Furmark on the GPU's Shamino. I pulled 900 watts from the socket with two GTX 275's and an i7 at 4.0ghz 1.25v Furmark is just out of this world GPU stress though.

Does the W555 name as part of the thread title elude to something on the final naming? Any news on announcing the winner of the naming contest?

Figured with these numbers being posted, it must be very close to release.

15 inch by just over 13.5 inches!!! Thats evan wider than EEB. I knew it would be longer, but wider too. I'm going to have to do some major modding to my case. I hope MM releases a MB Tray that would make it easier.

vaughn_degolyer I hope MM releases a MB Tray that would make it easier. They've already confirmed that they're working on it. Probably will be released at the same time as the board itself.

1) What is the maximum amount of GB of memory this board can handle (ECC/non ECC modules)...48GB ?? 2) Is it possible to use ECC-R or ECC unbuffered memory modules ?? 3) If ECC-R is allowed what is the maximum amount of memory the board can handle ?? 4) Do you have any memory QVL list or maybe it is not made yet ?? 5) Did you test any particular case or have any list of cases which will this mthbrd will fit in ?? Answers for 1 and 2 and 5 are most urgent for me ;). Ps My measurements were quite accurate :) http://viewer.zoho.com/docs/sac3Db

shamino Motherboard will ship with typical 1366 Xeon socket back-plates but normal X58 socket back-plates will be bundled in package That is HUGE! I spent many hours (and a LOT of money) with a tap and die kit manufacturing my own custom screws so I could affix danger den water blocks to two xeons on my supermicro board. I think I'm more excited about this board than the gtx 480; although I'm hoping to get two of those when I get this board as well.

This sounds like a job for this beastly thing... Unless you plan on using a dual PSU solution its the only PSU that has enough cables to hook up everything: 1 x 24 / 20-Pin Motherboard connector (550mm) 1 x 8 / 4-Pin EPS / ATX 12V connector (750mm)You need one of these for each CPU 1 x 8-Pin EPS 12V connector (750mm) 4 x 8/6-Pin PCIE connector (550mm) 4 x 6-Pin PCIE connector (550mm / 150mm) 12 x SATA connector (500mm / 250mm / 250mm) 12 x 4-Pin Peripheral connector (500mm / 250mm / 250mm) 4 x 4-Pin Floppy connector (500mm / 250mm / 250mm / 150mm) Silverstone Strider SST-ST1500 - 1500 Watt SLI Ready Modular Power Supply (However I still believe you will need need a second PSU for four GPU's + heavy overclocking)

Mountain Mods are nice cases but an anodized CYO-EX with fans screens and covers is 600+ dollars. Take a look at the Thermaltake site you could get a 10 slot case with the watercooling already installed.
