The Cosmos SR-X- Factor

[coolmiester]

Well with the new EVGA SR-X hitting the retailers, its time for a new build to coincide with the release.

My aim is to show off the ridiculously high spec of the new 2011 platform together with a couple of EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper cards.

Due to the massive HPTX form factor, i've decided to use the Cosmos II to house it all in which can handle the size no problem and in fact looks much better in my opinion as a normal ATX board gets dwarfed in there.

So, the spec so far which will be added to as things progress and a quick look at the SR-X motherboard...

System Spec:

Cosmos II

EVGA SR-X Motherboard

Intel 2011 CPU's

EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper GPU's

Memory – TBA

SSD's - TBA

Coolermaster 1300w Silent Pro Hybrid PSU

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere else, but why does one socket seem to have fewer dimm slots than the other, or are they not allocated like that?

 

[The Orange One]

This is, just WOW. Amazing

 

[SPS]

Mmmm beautiful

I too noticed this. Maybe because 96GB is enough RAM? XD

I think it is six DIMM slots per CPU, my question, Does this motherboard only support Xeons? or could you put 2 3960X's in it?

Only Xeons are supported

 

[sheroo]

These motherboard are starting to sound more like the names of cars - wonder if they'll bring out a GTi version?

 

[wassupdoc]

want.

 

[yassarikhan786]

want.

Need really badly

I think you can put only one 3960x and leave the other socket empty but it kills the whole point of owning one of these bad boys. Xeons have dual QPI and the desktop variants have single QPI hence the reason you can only put two xeons and not two 3960x's

Someone correct me if i'm wrong

If you put 7 590/ 690s in there, would it run? (no SLI, just to render with)

it would but only if the software supports it. F@H does but rendering software doesn't support consumer gpu's :'(

I'm wondering though if you can go quad sli+ quad sli for dedicated physx
