"Cypress" is the codename for what is supposed to be Radeon 5800 series, ATI's next geeration DX11 high-end vidcard.
To replace this...

Does the south chipset get that worm that you had to use a fan on it? The radiator on it is pretty large does it not cope with the heat?

The two NF200s do get quite hot ( I touched the HS to find out...ouch!). It's on an open jig, so the expected airflow across it ( such as would be inside a case) has to be done using separate fans ATM.
I do plan a more extensive cooling solution, when I'm done with the current testing/benching.

Are all PCI-EX lanes connected via those two NF200's? Would it be possible to measure if there is any legacy when working across those two bridges? (ie crossfire/sli across two bridges and across one bridge)

Indeed increased latency is a concern. Such has been observed using SLI/Tri-SLI on NF200 vs X58 mobos.
Here however, the sheer horsepower of x16 *4 vidcards should make up for it :)

Do you have more of those :) it would be nice to see how they perform in SLI :P
Are you going to use this card in the rig or are you waiting for amd to show their new product??
