Posted June 3, 2014 Welp, could be x79, but if its x99, THEN I'M ALL IN. Only reason I went x79 was because ram on both sides and only i7's aloud. I hope it's one of the two. EDIT Look at mobo next to it!! It has a 7 in it... X79 boards with ram on both sides?!?!?

Posted June 3, 2014 THAT IS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED TOO. Ugh. That alone really, really makes me want X99... Their other boards like the Z97 Classified have almost all 90 degree connectors.

Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure it's as big as X79 That's what an LGA 2011 socket looks like Hmm fair enough, suppose I'm comparing online store promo shots compared to this pic. Though saying that there does seem to be a bit more clearance around the socket compared to X79 boards I'm looking at and the retention arms seem to be different too. Edit: Also looks like most of the board sockets are at 90 degrees, except for ones on the top. Edited June 3, 2014 by GeathX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 3, 2014 O M G 90 degree 24 pin connector. YUSSSSSS Evga has had it on a number of boards but it can cause issues which is why most motherboard manufacturers avoid it.

Posted June 3, 2014 When will EVGA get rid of this distusting 'salmon-red' colour? You must have some really low quality salmon where you come from. Salmon is supposed to be a lighter peach colour. But I agree, red shouldn't be on motherboards and that faded EVGA red is even more distressing.

Posted June 3, 2014 Have you seen the x79 dark? Cause that how all their boards should look, yum. Yeah it looks nice, though so far they haven't ever made a single board that has all the features I need in the form factor I need (Dual Intel Gigabit LAN, PLX PEX chip, at least 8 SATA ports, PCIe spacing for 3-way SLi/Xfire, form factor of ATX at maximum) EVGA has a hard-on for E-ATX so I'm not in their target audience regardless.

U don't need plx on x79 or any of the enthusiast platforms and you generally have plenty of lanes. I bet the had a cost gen x79 board that was close to fitting that bit it would have never worked cause they were one of the worst off with launch x79 to the point you could trade them in for a x79 dark which was comply redone in time for ivy e.

Posted June 3, 2014 U don't need plx on x79 or any of the enthusiast platforms and you generally have plenty of lanes. That's true, the only times I evaluated EVGA was for z77 and z97. When and if I go X99 a PLX PEX chip will only matter if it has onboard M.2 or SATA Express, which isn't seeming likely.

I don't see what kind of problems could come with that...

Posted June 4, 2014 The length of the wires has no effect on anything... Otherwise all PSU cables would have to be the exact same length and extensions would not exist... It wouldn't affect something as simple as supplying DC power, but it certainly can affect signalling for data/communication. This the exact reason why a serial interface can be so much faster than a parallel interface even at a severe disadvantage in the number of channels, in theory parallel can be faster but in the physical world the slight differences in trace lengths and wire lengths put practical limits on how high the frequencies can be on parallel interfaces, because it messes up synchronization. Whether or not that actually matters for this specific scenario, maybe, but I'm inclined to think not since so many boards have implemented it and seem to be working just fine. Even if it did cause synchronization problems, it's a simple matter to run the traces from the bottom pins around the PCB a bit to make them the same length as the top pins. The mismatched wire lengths is a poor excuse for not doing right-angle connectors. Forum Rules | Guide to Display Cables / Adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
