The Monolith I is Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking's first D.E.E.P. (Dedicated Enterprise Edition Product) rollout. Aimed at server rooms/data centers in need of 24x7 uptime in lights-out environments, the Monolith I is a high-endurance workhorse.
With dual (redundant) 1400 power supplies that can be configured to run under European power, U.S. power, or German power sources, the Monolith is designed for 100% uptime, wherever you happen to be. The Monolith can remain powered up even with a "blown out" power supply, allowing the defective one to be swapped out while the redundant PSU keeps operating. Since each PSU is rated at 1400 watts, there is no need for any "down time" at all.
Utilizing the familar SuperMicro ® case design, the Monolith I is easily mounted into virtually any rack in your data center. And, with the 4.60 GHz overclocked processing power of the i7-3960X chip, there is no faster data-center-ready configuration you can buy today. Demonstrating the same performance as an overclocked 5.30 GHz i7-980X, (notice it achieved the identical score as our 5.27 GHz i7-980X in Cinebench, which you can see here), the Monolith I can crush whatever is in your server racks right now.
The Intel Core i7-3960X comes with 6 processing cores that double to 12 with hyperthreading activated. This Sandy Bridge-E model also features the new socket, Socket 2011, and Quad-Channel Memory for much greater memory bandwidth. So how much work can a 12-threaded 4.60 GHz i7-3960X handle? Anything you can throw at it, and then some.
