The Great Motherboard Hunt!

Okay to those willing to help me.

I am looking for a motherboard that.

Edit: New Challenge, Try making it ATX (not XL-ATX.)

Supports 1366 socket.

Has the capabilites to run Quad GPU at 16X speeds for each slot.

(Two double sized GPU's.)

And have enough PCIe ports left open for.

(1) 8x Raid Card

(1) 1x Net Card

(1) 1x Audio Card

The GPU's run dual processor's in each card and take up double slot's.

So the Board for this to work need's to have 7 slot's.

Also, the motherboard has to have a high Native speed for the memory, without Overclocking.

Such as for Example the Asus Saber-tooth supports 1866mhz natively for memory.

To those who want to embark on this quest to help me.

Many thanks.

To those who don't.

Why did you even read this post?

Anyone who can and is willing to help me it is greatly appreciated!

=D

Thanks again everyone.

I think the Evga 4-way classified and the gigabyte ud-9 would fit your needs. Most high end mobos have only 4 pcie slots.
 
I personally want to utlize the 16x lane's fully to abuse two Nvidea 590's or ATI's 6990 depending on who is better.

But I also got a 6 SSD raid going on and will probably invest in a raid cause with 2 SAS ports to do a 8 SSD raid.

Kingston Double pack if your curious.

Like everything I want to get it really fast without OCing it.

I'll only OC it when it's about time to change everything out for the next generation computer's.

For the Gigabyte UD-9

Is that Separate Heat-ink with fan on top of that?

What is that exactly?

And the Evga 4-way Classified.

Do we know how many ports run at 16x total?

And would at least two ports run at 16x all the time regardless?

Thanks for helping me with this guy's.

Lol, Long story short if I don't win the contest, I got to build my own server.

So the Long grueling task of saving money to do this again would start.

Always a good idea to have a game plan and a back up plan in case you know.

:3

and if your wondering how I'm getting the two dual gpu's.

We sold my car....and I'm moving to Norway.

Might as well splurge on something good so I don't got to buy new one's for a while.

Does anyone know for definite if it's going to be called GTX 590 or GTX 595?

Tom's hardware had a article and they listed it as 590, but there will also be a 595 if what I read was right.

The 595 was mentioned in a different article though.

Yeah that's where i read of the 590 too. Two cards then

The MSI Bigbang Xpower supports RAM upto 2000MHz natively and also features 6 PCIe lanes 2 lanes at x16 and two at x8 and it comes with a very nice sound card however you sill have the x1 slot at the top to put one of your own preference in.

It is also ATX

Due to the placement of the slot's and that PCI slot being there.

I don't think the SLI bridge would work for it.

Cause I'd have to overlap the Dual Sized GPU over the PCI slot, and then another Dual GPU in the main slot.

Only problem is if the SLI bridge would work.

And how would the net card, audio card, and Raid Card fit in.

The Raid would have to be in one of the 16x slot's cause it's a 8x.

And the others would have to go into the 4x and a 16x slot.

Even if the board has a on board killer net and creative audio.

I still use the one's with there own cpu's and memory it add's a better buffer.

And better quality ya know.

Memory wise, 1600mhz might be doable.

But I'm trying to get the fastest possible.

Cause I'll be utilizing a 8 SSD raid inside of it.

So I want to make sure every part can handle it.

8 SSD RAID? I hope there V+100's, i believe that there the only SSD that actualy RAID well.

Any thoughts on the new Gigabyte G1 Assasin that Tom recently reviewed?
