CEBIT 2010 - EVGA W555 motherboard details
Remeber the dual-socket LGA 1366 motherbaord from eVGA ? Well two things, one there are more specs on them, and two .. we'll actually be reviewing hopefully this month. Actually we'll be sending it off to one of team Guru3D overclockers to haev some fun with the motherboard, a couple of Xeon 5500 series processors and sure .. Liquid Nitrogen. Anyway -- the upcoming EVGA W555 motherboard is obviously a new dual QPI Xeon mainboard with 4-way SLI and CrossFire support.
It has some interesting features, such as the capability to run different processor models together. You can even mix quad-core and hexa-core chips as it now seems, but they must be from the same architecture family, it's not possible to mix and match Westmere plus Nehalem processors.
* "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"
Check out soem photo's we took earlier, you'll spot the two LGA-1366 sockets, each powered by an 8-phase digital PWM circuit. Each socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots supporting triple-channel memory for that socket. The board has 7 PCIe slots and to feed them the motherboard is equipped with two NF200 (NVIDIA) bridge chips to add additional PCIe lanes. We took a couple of photo's at CES earlier this year.
