Tyan Thunder I7505 (S2665UANF): Super Features For A High Price
The Thunder i7505 (S2665UANF) is the largest member of the E7505 family and is a Tyan product.
Tyan's biggest model, the S2665UANF in WTX format
Revision: unknown
BIOS Version: 1.11A.2665 (03/19/03)
Because of its wealth of components in the large WTX form factor, the board will only fit into a WTX tower. This makes it possible to power it with an EPS12V unit.

8-pin plug to power the CPUs
The 6-pin power supply is only needed when an AGP Pro graphics card is installed that supplies additional voltage along another route. But these cards are in any case few and far between in channels.
