I Wonder what will happen if they put 4 GeForce 8800 Ultra :P.

You can purchase this board at newegg now!!

See if you can slam 4 hd2900XTs in that sucker with 1 slot waterblocks!!!

When you do your review can you let us know how well it runs linux and if any closed drivers are needed.

Ta!

Assuming the Northbridge is only dissapating 8W of power, the other componants look like this:

Max for total PCIe slots: 450W
Max total PCI slots: 4W
Max RAM (Kingston HyperX used here): 8.1W
Max Phenom FX: 140W

That totals just over 610W. That doesn't include the southbridge, onboard RAID chips, fireware chips, LAN chips, or other electronic bits that might be on the board.

I would doubt even those silly 1400W power supplies drive over 600W through just the ATX rails.

42 PCIe 2.0 lanes.. and you get 2x 16 and 2x 8? Ain't that 48 Theo Allmighty UsedToBeReadHead Valich ;) And not to forget PCI-E x1 slot as well.. sooo.. Who got what wrong here? :) Update is due!

Oh, and when you're done testing, you know my phone, I'll be glad to take that Spider platform off your back as I bet you've no more space in your crib :D

This board is now available on newegg...
