Default Full Review of ASRock X58SuperComputer in Quad CrossFire set up

Full Review of ASRock X58SuperComputer in Quad CrossFire set up

Late last year, Intel launched their latest LGA1366 processors. With the advance of technology, the new processor computes faster than it's previous generation, the LGA775 Core 2 Quad series of processors.
As it is a brand new processor and it has a total different pinning compared to the previous, ASRock X58 SuperComputer releases it's first Intel X58 based mainboard supporting the Intel Core i7 920, 940, 965 processors and system bus up to 6400MT/s and Intel QuickPath Interconnect.




Through innovative design, the ASRock X58 SuperComputer supports a lot more, sometimes even better designed than expensive 1st tier boards. For better stability, it uses 100% Japanese made high quality conductive polymer capacitors. Memory wise, it supports Triple Channel DDR3 2000(OC)/1866(OC)/1600(OC)/1333(OC)/1066 (6 x DIMM slots), non-ECC, un-buffered memory, Max. capacity up to 24GB and DDR3 ECC, buffered memory with Intel® Workstation 1S Xeon® processors 3500 series, XMP is also supported.

One of the most important design of X58 board is it's PCIe slots. Some boards have the slots squeezed without considering the air flow and the length cards blocking the Front panel connectors or SATA ports. On ASRock X58 SuperComputer it has 4 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (blue @ x8 / x16 mode, orange @ x8 / N/A mode) (Double-wide slot spacing between each PCI-E slot). Thus you can fit in 2 slot design graphics cards on all slots.
With the Intel X58 chipset, this board supports multi GPU designs, namely ATi CrossFire X and NVIDIA SLI. It can support ATI™ CrossFireX™ up to 4 cards Quad CrossFireX™ and NVIDIA® Quad SLI™, 3-Way SLI™ and SLI™. It also support NVIDIA® Tesla Personal Supercomputer with three Tesla and one Quadro graphics cards.

Nice review BT.

I particularly like the fact all the necessary SLI & CF bridges are included - why even high end mobos from Tier 1 makes make you look for the CF connectors from your empty Radeon boxes!

And since within a specific performance band (i.e. about 4GHz and/or DDR3-2000 memory setting) is well within the capability of most all X58's, then this mobo can be a compelling build (price in your locale allowing).

That said, doubt if we'll ever see it over here in Tokyo, which is too bad....

;-)
