    Burning Issues is a tech site, not a resource for pyros. Anyway, one of Iwill's dual Opteron boards, the DK8N, is on the review table.

    The 12” x 13” DK8N is large; more to the point, the secondary CPU is near the front edge of the board & quite high up. Since Opterons use physically substantial cooling-solutions, the user must be careful about the dimensions & layout of any enclosure they intend to use. We would advise selection of enclosures where the required 12” x 13” for an EATX motherboard is completely free of any intrusion.

    Yes, this motherboard, like many dual processor boards, is a monster. It's also quite thorough in the review. SMP setups make me feel all warm and fuzzy, but you might find the fact that you can OC with this board is even better. Either way, check it out.
