Title: ASRock X79 Extreme11. Post by: xzion on June 06, 2012, 10:25:33 PM so i heard you like overkill.
http://www.techpowerup.com/img/12-03-05/49a.jpg 14 sata ports and 4 16x PCIE3 lanes. wow. wonder how expensive this baby will be? Title: Re: ASRock X79 Extreme11. Post by: Cablez on June 06, 2012, 11:35:12 PM The board itself has double 8pins, yeesh that needs to be one beefy PSU.

But other than that.... HOLY SHIT I want! Title: Re: ASRock X79 Extreme11. Post by: Beaflag VonRathburg on June 08, 2012, 02:48:34 AM All those sata ports as well!

Overkill is 40 CPU phases. http://images.anandtech.com/doci/5946/IMGP6089.JPG Title: Re: ASRock X79 Extreme11. Post by: Clipse on June 08, 2012, 03:05:53 AM Why the hell do they still stick to the molex for extra power. Its 2012 and only a few boards so far have used the more readily available sata power ports for extra power.

Looks pretty much identical to my board, except it uses a PCI-E power plug instead of molex for extra power.

For mining that board, for what you need a So2011 CPU on GPU mining with 4 Channel Memory?Title: Re: ASRock X79 Extreme11.

Post by: oldDirty on June 09, 2012, 07:19:37 AM socket 2011 cpu? yes. 4 memory modules? no. you can use only 1 if you want There are many other board wih less power consumption than this one. I think this board is perfect for a rendering machine or photographs that will use very much memory for huge hdr Pics. Title: Re: ASRock X79 Extreme11. Post by: AzN1337c0d3r on June 09, 2012, 11:24:54 AM I guess in the future you may want 14 hard drives to hold the block chain database if bitcoin really takes off...
I kid of course. This sure as hell wouldn't be an optimal dedicated mining motherboard, but I can think of plenty of applications where someone might want S2011, 8 DIMMs, and 14 SATA ports and adding 4 GPUs to mine to pay off the rig might be a good idea. |
