the watercooling in those TT cases is absolute crap.. but i will leave the comments at that because this obviously isnt the right place for that debate.
when are we gonna get to see some performance numbers? I want to see some wprime and vantage crushing scores

W555 is the codename, not the actual product name.
Winner of naming contest will be announced when board is ready to be released.
Yes and no W555 is auctually part of the particular model number of this board 270-GT-W555-?? really wanting to know what the ?? is :P

My Test was Prime 95 22 threads and 3D SLI tests on 2 dedicated threads. Taking close to the peak values seen.
You should try Furmark to see how high you can get it to go 
How many PSU's are you using? Two or three?
ONE, as for which one, I am not allowed to speak of it yet

shamino,
can you say something about the memory compatibility? I know Kingston producing one of the best server RAMs but what about others?

I just remember being told it is the codename. So I guess you're more correct.

Not only a second PSU, a second circuit! And that's no joke!
I already have a dedicated 120v 20amp circuit for my computer being run into the room so I should be all set

Motherboard will ship with typical 1366 Xeon socket back-plates but normal X58 socket back-plates will be bundled in package
Wait, the "normal" LGA1366 socket doesn't have any backplates - it uses the push-pin method, AFAIK, isn't that correct? In any case, does this actually mean that the Xeon backplates can be removed in the W555? This would really, really mean that we could use any aftermarket heatsink: these usually come with custom backplates. One year ago, I built a heavy-duty scientific workstation using 24GB of unbuffered, non-ECC memory with two W5580 Xeons ( link!) and I am thinking about using the EVGA W555 for the "spiritual successor" of this system, which will be purchased in the next few months or so. In the previous build, I had trouble with the heatsink because the voltage regulator circuitry populated the CPU area like hell, but I guess the digital PWM has a much "lower profile" than the usual multiphasic voltage regulators as in the motherboard I used before... I'm thinking this won't be much of a problem with the W555. I love the way these workstation motherboards are shaping up, and I will make sure to follow up on the W555 once it's released.

Are you allowed to give us a hint as to who the manufacturer is?

They do use backplates:  The server backplates are different so that you wouldn't be able to install EDIT some 3rd part coolers for example. See this picture, you can see the mounting coming through the hole in the motherboard for you to screw a heatsink down into:   It comes with both so you can choose what type of heatsink you want.

as good as our X58 Classified for the normal rams/ enthusiasts rams. Supports ECC rams for the server - minded people.

EVGA 1500w or 2000w psu?!?! One can hope...
I was going to guess that also either a EVGA PSU or they parter with someone like PCP&C

Oh, OK, that's the backplate you meant! Sorry, I was only thinking about the CPU-cooler backplates. You're right, of course. The server backplates are different so that you wouldn't be able to install a True 120 for example. See this picture, you can see the mounting coming through the hole in the motherboard for you to screw a heatsink down into: Actually, sorry for the nagging, but just to get the record straight, the True 120 fits just fine (I mentioned it in my post and I even have pictures of that setup in the link I posted, and a quick look around the net shows I'm not the only one (and definitely not the first) who used a TRUE with the Xeon backplate. The mounting you mentioned where there's screw holes "to screw a heatsink down into", they're M3 screw holes, same as used by the TRUE. The Xeon backplate precisely matches the TRUE backplate!  Even though the incompatibility example wasn't accurate, your point is of course valid. Most coolers will NOT work with the Xeon 1366 backplate. See, for example, the Thermalright Venomous X mounting kit, which according to reviews is a great one BTW: it's evidently not compatible. So, bottom line: It comes with both so you can choose what type of heatsink you want. ...and that is absolutely great!!

Wow, some crazy numbers on the power draw.
As far as cases go, I say a custom tech station is the best bet. If I could ever afford one that is what I would do, anyway.

That's awesome how low the power draw is, I thought it would be a lot higher. Awesome job shamino & EVGA . Alright here is my stupid question for today, Do you think there will be a problem running a Gulftown "ES" & a 980 "Retail". Thank you for any info.

Is there any #s out for a simple Dual E5520 setup as far as OC's have been achieved? I will have this board  , I just need to look at short term 'bang for buck'  . Economy and all... Sean

Can you use Windows 7 on something like this or would you need one of the server versions?

Thanks for the wattage info. I also second WB on the e55x0 series.
one other question, are you using high or low multiplier chips on the oc's?
