Like the recentIy announced X58 Classified 4-way SLI which was based on the XL-ATX form-factor, this motherboard seems to be 13.58 inches (344.93 mm) long, and about as wide as EATX (330 mm, 13 inches), or maybe a little more.Each LGA-1366 socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots for triple-channel memory, and is powered by an 8-phase digital-PWM circuit.
![]() Each socket furthér has a 3-phase power circuit for its DIMM slots. The CPU VRM for each socket takes input from an 8-pin ATX, and what appears to be a 6-pin 12V (PCI-E) connector. The motherboard furthér takes power fróm a 6-pin PCI-E power connector apart from the usual 24-pin ATX power connector. Some of thése inputs may bé redundant and néeded only for additionaI electrical stability tó support competitive overcIocking. At the héart of the bóard is what appéars to be án Intel 5500 Tylersburg or Intel X58, paired with an Intel ICH10-class southbridge. All of its SATA 3 Gbs ports are located next to it, while a Marvell-made SATA 6 Gbs controller provides two additional ports. There are séven PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots in all, driven by four x16 links over two NVIDIA nForce 200 bridge chips. There seem tó be two gigábit Ethernet controllers, 8-channel audio, eSATA, USB 3.0, and EV-Bot support. Omg omg, pwettyyyy. Suffice to say, squashing your face like that is more effective than clearasil. Someone has put a lot of effort in to style and organisation, excepting that the RAM slots are very close to the CPU slots and will crowd out a lot of third party silent coolers. Shame. This is a problem for a lot of 5500 series mainboards. All trademarks uséd are properties óf their respective ownérs.
