dual/tri CPU's shenanigans?

[FireofDestruction]

so what if you could run multiple CPU'S,(dual 4770k's, would that be bragging rights, imagine the OC capabilities for both AMD and intel) the way i see it is that they could share a load therefore less heat and could be done even quicker or have like two 4.4GHz processors essentially 8.8 GHz, is this even possible? do they make mobo's to hold two CPU's?   IS this even theoretically possible with today's tech?  This as to my knowledge hasn't been done before(this thread i mean)...but what about even tri-CPU's, so essentially what i am saying crossfire/SLI for CPU's ,or is this an entirely just stuiped idea all together?

From what I know I can tell you there are dual cpu boards, but usually they are for servers running low clocked cpus but with alot of cores. Not meant to game or anything like that. But someone who knows more about it can explain it, thats just my brief understanding.

Already commonplace, the actual purpose is to increase core count and use a pair of Xeon hexas for workstations, but some people have other plans.

yeah, son of a bitch had me shook for a moment I didn't think that you'd be asking that kind of question.

[piggykid1]

Yup mostly workstation mothetboards that can have dual xeons watch tek syndicates dual xeon build video

shad0w i did indeed steal because it was really mesmerizing, and i really liked it it's my desktop background now too

[ForsakenLive]

Dual CPU mobos are common, there are even Quad CPUs.

Yes but that's a server board, a whole new domain is being entered.

[AMD Lover]

Yeah they are pretty common

Its already been done, let me introduce you to Intel Skulltrail, a motherboard that used 2 Core 2 Extreme Quad cores in unison...... Intel made it as a platform to basically make AMD look bad and be the first to market with 8 cores on a desktop. It has never had a true successor as the EVGA sr boards still had to deal with locked down Xeons

 

 

This is actually my build, however its delegated to a home server, dont be fooled even at stock settings it goes toe to toe with a stock Fx 8350

I would really like to see some more consumer dual socket boards. I was slightly hoping that X99 would bring that to the enthusiast market, because content creation is only getting bigger and with 4K rolling along at rates at which we've never seen, it isn't a better time.

Imagine having two of those new X99 octo-core i7s in a rig, completely overclockable with huge amounts of RAM supported with dat sexy 16GB DIMM DDR4 support :wub: . The only somewhat enthusiast dual socket boards are the Asus dual socket WS board and the SR-X (I don't think they're made anymore), and both require locked down Xeon CPUs.

 

Intel pls.

 

 

 

pls

ok so there are some chips out there that can be used in dual configs but, what about a computer that wasn't just for a home server using dual 4770k,4930k?(i think) or 8350, so like all

 

CPU chipsets being dual/tri/quad and having a prebulit dual cpu becomes the norm for everyday life and gamer's suddenly start using quad cpus? "shenanigans"

Thats what i was getting at, they don't exist. intel locked down the mainstream and enthusiast sockets to single chip machines. I posted the Skulltrail build to show you that at one point what you said was possible and it had been done, however there is no enthusiast board out there that will use two CPUs, even if you build a board that could hold two physical sockets and have all the features for the mainstream boards it simply would not run as the chips are locked down by moving pins around and blocked using microcode.

whoops, didn't quite understand, thanks though for clarifying

Most xeons in Lga 2011, 1366, and 771  sockets support dual xeons. You can build a relatively low cost dual xeon machine using 771. However most parts available are used!
