WOLF Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hello Corsair Designers. As you might know already there become two heavyweights on the computer component arena, Core i7-980X CPU and Classified SR-2 Motherboard. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_doubleup.gif Regarding to the last mentioned I suggest that you come up with some sort of solutions for Corsair Obsidian Series™ 800D or a complete new Obsidian Series. The reason is that the Classified SR-2 Dual LGA1366 Motherboard has a new Form Factor (HPTX) with the measurement 345mm Length x 381mm Width. So wouldn't it be the culminating event to see a Liquid Cooled Classified SR-2 Dual LGA1366 Motherboard inside a Corsair Obsidian Chassis, at least the way I see it. While you are scratching your head around the drawing board (CAD screen) , don't forget to make space for some high performance watercooling components too. Here is some good foundation Designed by "Mick64" on xtremesystems.org to develop further on. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=219974 One more thing, please make it ASAP http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_run.gif since I already ordered my Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition Processor and have major thoughts http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif about Classified SR-2 Dual LGA1366 Motherboard. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_ThankYou.gif WOLF.

Yellowbeard Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 The SR-2 is an awesome board. But, unless I am mistaken it is not going to support your Core i7 980X. It is for Xeons only: http://www.evga.com/articles/00537/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLF Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 The SR-2 is an awesome board. But, unless I am mistaken it is not going to support your Core i7 980X. It is for Xeons only: http://www.evga.com/articles/00537/ Hello Yellowbeard! Yes you are SO right about that my friend! http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_doubleup.gif But the thing was before i got some answers on my email to EVGA I tought that it was possible to run i7-980X on EVGA Classified SR-2. The reason I believed that was the overclocking web log (see link below) by "nickshih", where he run the i7-980X on SR-2. But conclusively I understood that it has to be a special edition of i7-980X as well as SR-2 motherboard. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=247007 But I just got in contact with my CPU provider and ask him if it's possible to change the ordering from the i7-980X to a Intel Xeon X5680 3.33 GHz with 6 Cores & 12 Threads, 12MB L3 Cache, Intel QPI, LGA1366 Processor. So we have to see further on for the outcome of this. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif One positive thing that I read about concerning EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard is that you can run with only 1 CPU (see link below), and then when the economy growing stronger you just buy the second one.

WOLF Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hello again Yellowbeard. I got some news for you! http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/grin.gif I canceled my order on the Intel Core i7-980X processor, instead I ordered this....... 1 - EVGA Classified SR-2 Motherboard. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/declare.gif 2 - Intel Xeon X5680 Processor. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/declare.gif So now theres only one problem, Is the SR-2 motherboard going to fit in the Obsidian 800D (after some modifications)? Or do I need to look for another solution? http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif Not that there is anything to complain about, but I wish Corsair would build the Obsidian series on a little more open bases so theres room for wider options. Hopefully Corsair will come out with a little bigger chassis based on HPTX form factor (EVGA SR-2) with room for high performance water cooling. Heres some links for Corsair just as source of inspiration.http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_doubleup.gif http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=219974 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1467700 http://forums.bit-tech.net/album.php?albumid=619&pictureid=7121 Well my friend, don't have so much to add just now. Take good care, see you soon i hope. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/just_cuz/JC_ThankYou.gif WOLF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 19, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 19, 2010 Unfortunately our case will only support up to an EATX form factor motherboard, and we have not attempted any modification to fit the HPTX form factor of the SR-2 board. I would suggest that you get a list of compatible cases directly from EVGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
