The new card is called DX79SI and has many upgrades compared to the Intel platform that preceded it in the field, characterized by well-known and appreciated chipset X58 Express. First of all comes with the new socket LGA2011, perfect companion for Sandy Bridge processors E (Extreme) and the upcoming high-end market for the "home".
One can immediately notice the integration of as many as 8 memory banks in order to take full advantage of quad-channel memory. In the IDF we have seen similar solutions from other partners, as well as versions "quiet" with fewer slots. We will discuss elsewhere. Returning to DX79SI is easy to see how the cooling system of the CPU has to abide by stricter laws in terms of size, than we used to do with other solutions of the previous generation.
The proximity of the memory banks, as well as the mounting of the socket, give a headache to producers of aftermarket heat sinks. Intel still has abnormal thought of a solution for the company; why not bring along a cooler to the card water cooled? Idea certainly not be discarded, having regard to the customers who will pay attention.
He then lists his entry in Intel RTS2011LC CPU Water Cooler, Ascetic conceptually very similar to the models, which offers fans the opportunity to stay home from Intel for this type of cooling used by clackers and beyond. To signal the presence of three 16x PCI Express slot and two PCIe 1x, and is confirmed to be compatible with PCI Express 3.0.
Appears to lack the equipment instead of SATA ports, given the nature of high-end card. There are only four SATA ports, two of which are compatible with standard SATA 6Gbps. Is it an adaptation of the last hour, as in the past months had emerged as voices that gave even the integrated SAS ports, which are absent in this official version. If there were even these, the total number could actually be aligned to what the motherboard manufacturer’s offer in their range soluzionitop.
The location, fully functional, showing a processor and Sandy Bridge (probably the model that will be called Core i7 Extreme 3960X, nominal 3.3 GHz, 6 physical cores, 15MB L3 cache), engaged in a session of overclocking, which has brought to the operating frequency of 4.72 GHz well Ok, the 8.4 GHz AMD away (There are the lost? Find it here ) but here we are talking about a location in the house entirely manageable without resorting to liquid nitrogen, and other devices ... Below is a gallery of the motherboard, as well as screens photographed during the session overclocking. Enjoy.
