Maybe I missed it on their web site, but as far as I can tell, evga doesn't seem to publish detailed owner's manuals or even detailed specs for their motherboards--just short "installation" guides. Very odd.

@Movieman: any idea if the current board supports 4GB ECC RAM modules? Between an uncertain release date and possible as-yet-unknown firmware problems, I'm tempted to go with a Supermicro board instead, even though it would mean giving up overclocking. Are there any compelling features that would make it worth the wait / risk?

The board supports ECC and is listed as supporting 48 gig of memory so my guess is yes to this but that is just an educated guess.
If you want to send me 12x4 gig DDR3-1333 ECC I'll be glad to stick them in and we can verify this.:D

Semirelated, just received word ULV/LV should be supported. Also read over on EVGA forums that XMP will NOT be supported. Of course that may change as BIOS matures after initial release but that is from Shamino himself and locked multipliers. I'm not sure how this is different from non Exterme Core i7s.

A little disappointing but still OK. Anxiously waiting for release and GTX 465 SLI future goodness.

How this is different..
Like the song,"Let me count the ways."
Typical dual socket 1366 workstation board..
Setup,run,done..NOTHING adjustable.
SR2 board:
Look at the bios on a single socket EVGA classified board and imagine it has settings for two sockets and your close.
You can adjust every parameter on this board that you can think of and a few you never thought of.
Today is May4,I've had it running since March 16 at 100% load 24/7
solid as a rock and remember,mine is a prerelease board,Rev .1..

Still running the 33 bios and they are up to 46 and it's still rock solid.
I have X5680's on air with TRUE's and 113cfm fans.
Machine is at 25x168=4200 and yesterday the room it was in was 84F and not a twitch from that system and it was rocking 70C at that speed in that heat.
Yes, it was a gift and yes, I think the world of Peter, but those facts aren't what had me calling Newegg last Friday to see if I could reserve 20 of them for the guys on the WCG team.
You know that old line of "The best thing since sliced bread"?

The boards appeared to come in stock briefly at evga.com. I was able to add one to my cart, but the check-out failed. When I tried again, they were out of stock.

Hi! Does anyone know if someone has tested the SR-2 with E5520's?

Thanks :)!

@Movieman: based on your experience with the SR-2 so far, do you have any OC tips? Dos and don'ts, tools, etc?

It should work fine. You might take a look on the evga forum for more details. For example:
