EVGA introduced a dual-socket LGA 1366 motherboard

This model is not aimed at average needs either, with the help of which a smaller nuclear power plant can be built.

As with most hardware, a photo of the EVGA dual-socket LGA 1366 motherboard - the arrival of which was pushed as early as last week - came out a few days before the official CES debut, showing the plank nude actually, without cooling.

The picture clearly illustrates that it is a huge printed circuit, it is not worth trying to install it in an average house. The two LGA 1366 sockets accept Xeon processors, the board provides 12 DDR3 memory rails (six/CPU), has digital PWM, and there are no more than seven ×16 PCI Express expansion slots. They are "charged" by two NVIDIA N200 SLI cards with a cable. The soon-to-be-released model offers its owner seven SATA ports, 7.1-channel audio, and gigabit ethernet. The error-indicating seven-segment display provides help for tuners, but of course it can also be very useful for general troubleshooting. In more recent news, it was also confirmed that the two red ones out of the seven SATA connectors on the board support the new 6.0 Gb/s standard, and two USB 3.0 connectors were also added to the back panel, with which theoretically a speed of 5 Gb/s can be achieved . According to EVGA, the board has Classified-level overclocking options and capabilities, so it can be enjoyed by gamers and serious tuning users alike. The purchase price and further details are not yet known, but everything will become clear after the official announcement.
