dunno what uATX is tho, maybe mine is ATX, whatever that means

[MadduckUK]

umm.. okthankyou

uATX is basically micro ATX, like the one in my link





the cpu socket is the same so thats a good size comparison

AFAIK, eVGA were the only folks that produced a S939 uATX SLI board. Therefore, it's probably a fairly safe bet that if anyone does the same on AM2, it will be them.

You might want to try e-mailing them directly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Might I ask why your looking for an SLI uATX? Are you planning on building an SLI rig in a small case? It might get pretty toasty in there...

WOW

I have been waiting for a uATX SLI board ot appear for ages, and had resigned myselef to uATX being stuck at the low end for ever.

This would be just the ticket for a portable LAN party PC, that does not rely on a Shuttle or similar propretry case or mobo.

spot on. would be nice to have got the added future-proofness of AM2 but if its not around then ittl have to be 939 till it is.

[scrandman]

well...yeah!

Hmm, well you could also have been using it to toast bread (bearing in mind all that heat in a confined space).

Try this link

But no SLI just yet... i'm sure it'll come very soon

[Steve B]

can i ask what case this uATX is going in?

[MadduckUK]

almost certainlythis one

[scrandman]

almost certainlythis one

That's a nice case. Just remember to replace the PSU with a decent one if running SLI.

i think so yeah, more understated and not as "mad" as an x-qpack, better psu, seperate side/top panels rather than a one-piece, and its like £20 cheaper!

will do. not going to sli-up for probably a month after the systems purchased. so ill do it at the same time
