PCIe Gen2 x 2 So a limit of 1.0 GB/s on the PCIe bus, not enough for 10Gb (10/8=1.25).

I'm afraid PC Power and Cooling was just a name under OCZ. I know the Silencer Mk III was a Seasonic design down to the 120mm fan.

Agreed, I'm pretty close to an AMD fanboy; I want them to succeed badly but hype is a dangerous thing. I know why I'm still running a 1090T.

Hmm, too bad they killed the 80mm fan in the 400w model. It would have been nice to have a modular psu for 2U chassis.

Iommu my friends. My interest in Richland is mainly for the cheap access to new(ish) virtualization tech. Intel's chips are faster, there is little doubt of that, but you have to pay out the nose for any premium features. The only thing I'm pissed about is that AMD seems to have broken their...

Nice, I liked their X-porter mini my NAS' OS lives on one. This could cut down on boot time.

I just hope if they crash and burn they don't take Power PC and Cooling down with them.

I don't know. Isn't 8 gigs of RAM towards the low end of things for zfs? My FreeNAS box runs on a meager 4 GB but The Best Practices Guide essentially calls for 8 GB at a minimum (for pre-caching) and recommends a gig of RAM for every TB of disk space. This seems under spec'ed for "Flagship."

I just wish I could find Toshiba's new 512 sector, 4,700 RPM drive in the States. Would be a good replacement for the venerable Hitachi 5K3000.

Oops, fans not drives. While I agree with you than scythe isn't the only company that makes good fans; they do have a couple of models that are truly great especially at their price point. I rushed to get the fans I did mostly to insure that all my fans would continue to have an...

This was a dick move, I saw this news on another tech site and rushed to order drives I didn't need yet. I'm pretty annoyed with this now defunct division.

Oddly enough for me it's my processors that get transplanted to new mobo's not the other way around. My old 775's now run entry level mobo's with on-board video for my HTPC and NAS while the old enthusiast mobo's are long gone. I like collecting my old processors, I figured one day I would...

I was interested in the older rapid fire design but the lack of a Num pad and the excessive branding scared me away. Definitely going to give this a look. Cool.

I'd love to pick one up on sale some time, the hold up time worries me though. Will it play nice with a consumer UPS? They already seem to have trouble enough with Active PFC power supplys.

I think a shroud just for the expansion slot area would be a great idea, especially for aftermarket Video card heatsinks that dump hot air directly in the case. Quick and dirty sketch: (in ms paint for pantherx12) No motherboard component can be more than 15mm tall in that area to meet speck...
