SWTX motherboard support

post #1 of 24

Thread Starter 
Hello. Just curious if you ever have plans to design a motherboard tray for an SWTX board? There is almost zero support for these boards out there, so people are stuck w/ 2U/4U rackmounts. There likely is a few people out there looking for a watercooling case so support their quad socket G34 machines.

I can't commit to it, but we'll put it on the "wish list".

SWTX is 417x330mm which makes it wider than even the HPTX form factor. This will require a revision of the frame, and probably relegate it to a revised T, TH or TX class chassis. It is the same depth as EATX.

Link to manual of SWTX motherboard; there is a picture inside:

We looked into this before. The problem is that Supermicro wouldn't release the physical dimensions of the board (we tried) - not just overall size, but standoff locations, I/O panel location, etc. We would need to buy a board and go through the process of reverse engineering it. Before we would do that, I need to have a sense that there are more than 2-3 people whom might want it.

Best regards

I'd be interested in SWTX motherboard support. Looking to build at 4P AMD MC box for folding.

You should post on the [h] distributed computing subforum - there might be a few other there who want it. Someone might be able to take the measurements you need or indeed loan a board for a bit.

The SWTX form factor is significantly larger than HPTX, so there will be very few PC based cases that will support it. In our line, only the TX10-H will have that ability (to be released in early January).

Most cases (the TX-10-D and V included) do not have enough space above the rear I/O to support SWTX.

The easiest option might be to have a mount plate (like the current 140.9 super mount) that could go in the bottom of a pedestal or heat chamber of the TX10 that would enable the SWTX board to be mounted to it. If it's mounted far enough forward a PSU could also be accommodated in one fairly compact unit. As most of these builds are folding only rigs and run headless with no cards there's no need for card support. All it should need is a power cable, ethernet and one sata cable for mounting a hard drive somewhere. If SWTX is still the way to go in a year or so, I might do this in my pedestal.
