Who wants to see some LGA2011 boards?

[bleddyn]

Cant see how many sata ports those boards have but they look one hell of a lot nicer than the asus offering as to date, though i think thats more than likely a production sample rushed out just to showcase the new boards layout, the pcb colour will most likely change.

the ud3 looks the best so far to me.. ill get round to upgrading from socket 775 when moneys allow eventually i might do a tom and stick to x58..

-snip- Great, I wanna run bulldozer but this is just making my brain hurt now, sometimes I hate choices .-.

Bindibadgi on bittech (the asus guy) has already said the ASUS C1X79 EVO is well and truly preproduction and we wont be seeing the real things anytime soon

On a new note, WHERE HAVE ALL THE BITCHEN HEAT SINKS GONE?!?!??!?!?

Nice post Karlos

The 2 earlier shown boards have them on, they probably haven't decided on design for the later 2. That and it's only gonna be a bit bigger than an inch squared so they might have popped 'em off to give people a better look at the boards.

So triple channel is dead?

That Asus board looks oldschool

I said the same thing.

We will say my first motherboard.

Now we need clearance both side for heatsink.

How about a board from ECS?

That MSI board in SieB's post looks extremely interesting, 6+2 power phases? And to that combined with dual 8-pin. #DetailsThatInterestMe

x2 CPU(1366 and 2011), x1 triple channel and x2 dual channel memory(14 slots), x16 sata2 and x6 sata3.

great minds think alike

I like, never heard of ECS though.

What's with that fan at the top of this?

 

[sheroo]

I'm waiting for the day when you have a GPU socket directly on the motherboard...

 

[Dark NighT]

Oh my god what a big socket!

Come to think of it, the split memory slots isnt going to be very usefull for people that want to watercool their memory, and big air heatsinks either have to have the Nh-d14 mounting system or dont bother at all.

So triple channel is dead?

Triple channel was always a non-starter imo. An interim effectively between dual and quad, a make-do like with cores.

Quad (may be 2xdual effectively) memory, USB3.0 standard, SATA3 standard, PCIe 3.0 standard... I think my bank manager just went to the bathroom with a box of tissues.

Oh and look, more power to the mobos - who would have thought it

I have just read that LGA 2011 is being ramped up and will now be released Q3 so thats July August September! instead of Q4.

oO Fudge, looks like they are going straight for Bulldozers throat.
