Intel D5400XS Motherboard Pictured - SkullTrail Closer To Launching

Legit Reviews first saw the Intel SkullTrail system back at the Intel Developer Forum this fall and it seems new information and pictures are now available. Legit Reviews will bring you more on this great looking board in the near future when we have the full details. For now enjoy the great pictures of the Intel D5400XS motherboard!

What we have for you here, however, is an up close and personal look at the Skulltrail platform's D5400XS Intel ATX motherboard from a couple of different angles. As you can see, the Southbridge and dual NVIDIA nForce 100 MCP chips are actively cooled by a large fan-sink cooler. Our pics of Skulltrail from IDF showed a trio of small heatsinks, so things have changed a bit. The motherboard has four PCI Express x16 slots and dual standard PCI slots. Aluminum heatsinks cover the Northbridge and some of the components around both LGA771 Xeon CPU sockets. As for I/O, the board has six internal SATA ports, a single IDE port, and headers for additional USB and Firewire ports. On the IO plate, no legacy connectors are to be found, but it does have six USB ports, dual eSATA ports, single Firewire and Gigabit Ethernet jacks, and analog and digital HD audio inputs / outputs.
