If you don't want heat there's always LGA 1155. Runs very cool yet still gives great performance for the majority. SB-E is aimed firmly at enthusiasts who want to water cool :)

Didn't say it was a bad thing ... it's easier to justify the WC stuff to my dear half :) : "Darling, I really need those nice piece of copper to cool the PC :o"

Careful, she might suddenly "need" some new shoes or accessories that make an i7 3960X look affordable. ;)
For the record you shouldn't/won't see our boards anywhere public. That's not saying we won't be available for launch like always, but we are keeping them secret until a later date :)

I remember a while back you guys wrote and article about intel thinking about creating its own self sealed water cooling units from bits it could commonly find around its lab/plant to keep costs down.
Are those what we are now seeing in the pictures or they are just rebranded ones?
We know the systems on display are Sandy Bridge E PCs, as they all sport the new quad-channel memory layout with four DDR3 memory DIMM sockets either side of the LGA2011 CPU socket.
I'm confused. I though Ivy bridge was socket 2011 and Sandy Bridge E was a 22nm socket 1155 update.
Is that not the case? Then what's the difference between Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge E then?

To me SB-E are just big kick ass home servers, too expensive :/
I'm not sure but it seems Intel might just not want PCI-3 mentioned because there isn't any devices which support it. Gigabyte and MSI are implying that some sort of CPU architecture related to the X79 chipset will feature PCI-3 support in future (Ivy Bridge-E anyone?).

Wow, not sure where you would of gotten that from. Ivybridge will be available on socket 1155 next March. Ivybridge-e isn't due till possibly 2013. Sandybridge-E is exclusive to 2011 which is featured above and available from November onwards.

Seems you've got them mixed up. IB will be 22nm on 1155 and SB-E will be on 2011.
And I (also) think the heatsink between socket and expansion slots is for power circuitry. Those Mofsets need to be cooled some way!
I /really/ dig the RAM slots being on both sides of the cpu socket.
And it's functional too, right?
Instead of 2 slots relatively far away from the socket, all four are the same distance?

New shoes implies new bag, which implies new hair cut, which implies selling the waterblocks :)

GD-65 (80) with 8 DIMM slots

Anandtech states that it's the budget boards which have 4 DIMM slots while the performance boards all have 8.
