Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (USB3.0)

[VJVertex]

hi,

does anyone use an Intensity Shuttle (USB3.0) on a Z68-Board?
the support of Blackmagic told me it´ll only work with X58-Boards, MAYBE on a Z68...

thx.

no one here using 1155-Plattform (Z68) and BlackMagic???

i think it just depends on the usb 3.0 controller which should be from nec..
maybe the chipset is also incompatible.... i would ask again what's the point of the problem.

[VJVertex]

the point is:
X58 48 lanes = 16+16+16, using two graphiccards there are still 16 lanes for USB3.0
Z68 16 lanes = 8 x 8, using two graphiccards you have a problem to transmit the USB3.0-data (internal using PCI-e-Bus)

so, if there is enough space for some extra data, i think there is no problem... but if you are really using the cards there might be a problem.

Therefore my question is anybody here using this card on a Socket-1155-system

hey,
sorry, we also just tried the shuttle on an x58 and an x79 chipset. But worked in both cases.

ok X58 is no problem... but good to know that X79 works too
so maybe i change my old i7-2600K to a i7-3820 and a new X79-baord

but i think i´ll get some money for 2600K and ASUS Maximus IV GENE-Z?!

8 ramslots rock
but i would wait now until more of the new x79 cpu's come out - there will also be a 8core processor...

[VJVertex]

hmm, yes that's the main problem! But i think i'll try it with my Z68, maybe it'll work

[bildwerk]

have you tried it yet?

best
