No, definitely not the biggest ever created, not by a long shot. You obviously never saw multi-CPU boards. Tyan Thunder K7 I bought in 2001 for example is 33.02 cm x 30.48 cm.
Supermicro's EE-ATX is bigger (like X9DRi-LN4F), it's full SSi-EEB (or E-ATX) with additional inch ABOVE the CPU area, to accommodate 24 DIMM slots (and it fits in normal cases, I have mine in Fractal Design's XL R2). Also old MSI's Big Bang XPower 2 had 7 PCIe slots just shifted 2 down, making it 9-slot board by size, although it wasn't as wide as full E-ATX, just slightly wider than ATX. Of course if we consider full servers, full depth 19" moptherboard is like 3x the size of SSI-EEB, but the biggest I've seen was the Intel's demonstration 8S system for OEM integration, which was two 95x80 cm (38x32") boards interconnected with QPI/PCIe hard links, sandwiched on a open steel frame, which I saw during Sapphire Rapids premiere.
Yeah, he never heard of multi-GPU water-cooling either "you need to run riser cables".... yeah right. If someone does not make a "universal 4-way 5090" then it's not possible I guess... damn I'm salty today.... but come on.
Water cooled GPU allows you to have more room. I use the TRX-40 and just love it - didn’t mind paying $900 for it. It has its quirks but if you are paying top dollar then you get the top features. For my work I use every pci lanes and all cores. HSDT is for hardcore enthusiasts and those using for videos/movies/Ai/ or multiple of these features. I do wish they included the x4x4x4x4 NVME add-in card or pci-e riser cables for gen 5.
A quartet of NVidia Quattro RTX 8000 GPUs would work in that board as they are 2 slot cards. 48GB of DDR6 on each makes for a serious AI training server.
@@treniotajuodvarnis Sadly, I only have the RTX 8000s in my inventory so they'd do fine. Also wouldn't require custom case work or risers. Why buy what I don't need to do more than i want?
@@WireHedd why would you overspend on this motherboard then? there's lots of older hardware starting x99 and xeons v3 had already 4 or more full speed pcie slots. unless you plan to upgrade gpus later
NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS? Seriously? I was expecting $1900. In 2020, during the Covid electronics panicking, I paid $689 for an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero x570, and $689 for an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x. I paid $1378 for those two parts together, because I bought into the panic, and didn't use my head like I should have. Yes, I still feel stupid to this day.
Really, All the companies that produce said electronic products weren't going to go out of business. Any shortages would have been quickly dealt with by supply and demand.
5:11 I have a Gigabyte X-99 Ultra Gaming with an i7 5820k. The CPU is quad-channel capable and so is the board. If all 8 module slots are populated, 2 modules run on each channel.
For GPUs and AI, I could see this being used with the A100 series often used in data centers (not that you couldn't use a 40 series or 50 series with water cooling). They have the 2 slot clearance that would enable 4 of them to be connected. The cooling needs of that kind of system would be off the charts. This is an amazing platform. I would love to see a fully built AI machine using it.
The motherboard isn't that much more money than some of the top tier gamer/consumer variants. Threadripper CPU will blow the budget :) I do like how Gigabyte gives you options for which CPU you socket in, so you could upgrade the CPU in the future without having to go get an entirely new motherboard.
Wow what a sweet motherboard! I just built a computer for a friend and I used the Asus pro series trx50, its a sweet board but this takes the cake! To bad it came out after the build.
@@TazzSmk you would think so but TWO 24GB 4090s are better value and pack more computing power than four 4070 ti's especially for workloads that support multi GPUs to handle workload division AND can benefit form higher VRAM (12GB vs 24GB 💁♂) and high memory bandwidth with fewer communication bottlenecks than four 4070 ti's (that don't officially support NVLink as in Nvidia workstation cards like the A6000 or H100) which means they can't pool memory or directly share resources effectively...🥲
Omg. I paid more than that for an Asus x870E crosshair hero mobo. I didnt even know this beauty existed. Now I want to step up with this class for my next daily driver.
As always, you are a fricken legend. What a beast of a motherboard! And apart from this amazing and very clear review..... OMG who knew that these two guys were related.... Cousins? What? I hope they shared some of their wealth with their family!!!! If you are ever in central London, let me know! Happy to take you for a beer! Warm regards, Ian.
Holy smokes! That Gigabyte motherboard is a beast! Eight DIMM slots? Four PCIe Gen 5 slots? It's like they're trying to build a supercomputer in your living room. I'm not sure my wallet is ready for that kind of power, but I'm definitely drooling
OK firstly I am a subscriber and love your review videos, secondly this is exactly the motherboard I have been looking for, for my AI Build, Now just have to see if the case I have picked will be able to contain this motherboard, fun enough its a split case, oneside for the motherboard and one side for 4 x 4090 GPU's, but I am waiting to populate it with initially 2 x 5090 GPU's and add a new GPU every 3 months till I have 4 x 5090 GPU's in it. Yes I am crazy and want to run my own high powered, fast AI model machine for my AI purposes. and the 4 high speed NVMe bays in a raid O will also allow me to download many huge models. So thank you for the motherboard, oh and by the way the board is £1000 in the United Kingdom. Expect 5090's to be around £2200 each (£8800) and the Threadripper to be about £5000, plus 2 x power, plus NVMe drives, plus cooling, plus fans, expect build to be around £15k to £20k.
Nice to see a motherboard that supports quad-channel DDR. An alternative if I ever want to upgrade my PC, since my current one also runs with quad-channel.
There is a reason why the VRM cooler is concave, because the cooling properties improve, based on physics compared to convex design It may look cool, but there is a reason for it
I wish this was out last year. I run a Blender 3D workstation with a Threadripper dual 4090's and 1/2 a TB of ram on an Asus pro art motherboard. I payed more for that system than I did for my daughters 1st car and now wish I held off a year since all the new tech is starting to come out. The 5090's were not even in conversation when I ordered the workstation. The thing renders like a champ however so i have no complaints.
@@tejiriamrasa3258 Cool thank you. i was really starting to wonder if I miss timed my last upgrade but did it out of concern that GPU's were going to keep going up in price. Thank you for the reassurance.
Just a suggestion for future videos: Please assess the performance of DxO Pure RAW 4 on the Intel Ultra Core 285K vs AMD 9950 both using a RTX 4080. This is frequently the limiting step in performance for Photoshop users/still photographers.
The MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X is only 2 slots, albeit you need to find room for the rad, and the tubing is short so trying to fit several of them will become a problem.

i have an old aorus x570 elite and the thing, if it blows up for whatever reason it nukes your memory settings etc. wipes the bios. its very annoying. but it is time to upgrade. but i probably wont go threadripper ;) i bought my 12core/24 thread machine with 64gb ram that is finicky. i will make sure to check mem compatibility on whatever i get. am5 probably though.
I've been shopping TR40 boards looking for last gen deals, as I'd like to move over my pile of hardware to lessen how much I need to pick up for platform upgrades, but I will fully admit that I have use of this platform. Just not the outright budget that is dedicated to other projects. The board is fairly cheap compared to the CPU itself and outfitting new DDR5 to fully flesh out 8 DIMM slots (About $900 at street price in US presently).
I have a dual X99 Supermicro EEEATX board that is even bigger. I could never find a case to put it in so it just sat on a shelf for years. It has 24 DIMM slots lol. Just silly. I filled all the slots for 192 gig of ecc with dual E5 2690 v2. It is a power sucking heater and not even really that great for modern tasks.
