The board itself has double 8pins, yeesh that needs to be one beefy PSU.

They couldn't find a better location for the PCIe molex than squished between your video card and your cpu cooler?
But other than that.... HOLY SHIT I want!

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.

Gotta save those SATA power plugs for all those 14 SATA SSDs! |

Doesn't look that special, but I use an MSI X79 Big Bang XPower-II. Looks pretty much identical to my board, except it uses a PCI-E power plug instead of molex for extra power.

so i heard you like overkill.
For mining that board, for what you need a So2011 CPU on GPU mining with 4 Channel Memory? |

your right, but what sense make a 2011 CPU for mining? 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. |

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.
