So I have been patiently waiting for x99 to come out. It has been a while since I have completely revamped my computer. In '12 I lost an old CPU so went to the i7 3770 with a Sniper 3 board. And the year before that I went to an SSD. So over this last year I have been browsing hardware and looking for all out upgrades that I can get in preparation for a true x99 build.
So far I got into a Cosmos II case (which I fell in love with omg) and am eyeing down Corsair 1500w PSU. The reason for such a big PSU is that I am going to hold out for a solid, dual x99 board with a pair of unknown GPU's. I guess you could say I want to future proof with the PSU.
(also I want to see a board with USB 3.1...may be dreaming though)
Along with that I am about to get into a revodrive (PCIE with crazy speeds) pretty soon. Call it a pre upgrade to help ease the pain of not being an early adopter of x99.
So I have searched for Dual socket x99's with no luck. My question is, is there any unknown reason (to me anyways) that may prevent x99 from being able to handle two CPU's? I only ask because 1 CPU has 8 slots for RAM, with 4 being on each side. So from that blueprint, it seems like it may be difficult to make a dual CPU MB. Of course a dual CPU would be on an extended ATX, but still...
I haven't read anything related to these limitations, so I am not sure.
And please spare me the "You don't need speech". This seems like a popular statement, some people want 10 second cars, others want stupid fast computers
