Yes, looks to be a beast Mike..Shame I only do single socket boards..:wasntme:Quote:

Yea, scary ain't it?:eek:
yea its pretty freaking cool, i saw all those small DIP switches, how my mouth watered. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...drooling-1.gif
Are there extreme CPUs planned now for this board ? Otherwise it's not suitable for benchers...
The Xeon ES 8 Core CPU's are all locked multi do not support CPU straps and only do about 105 BLK = USELESS for overclocking!!! LOL!!!
With a system based on 2 of these, who needs overclocking :rofl:Quote:

No need to cash out then for this eVGA board... as it's designed for Oc'ing... If eVGA want's this beauty to sell, they better close a deal with Intel to unlock at least one CPU...Quote:

With that said though, we all have different applications we need our systems for, for my process-simulator, stability and reliability/up-time is a must.
Enjoy, I would still like to see what the new SR-X is capable of :)
Are you sure or this because logic tells me that if this is true then EVGA wouldn't invest the money into this board in the first place.Quote:

I have the latest ES mate. The CPU straps are not enabled as if you set a strap it wont boot due to clocking the PCI express etc at the same time. This is on the ASUS R4E. Other testers have confirmed this. They must be enabled on the CPU otherwise the strap is just like clocking BLK i.e it effects all other buses within the system. The multipliers are locked but they do support Turbo like any other SB. I understand what you guys are saying but I have not heard of anyone clocking these via CPU strap or getting BLK's much higher than 105 - 107.
Cooling them is easy on chilled water :)!!!
That is the hard truth Dave... sad but true...Quote:

Time will tell, I guess..
The latest rumor that I was reading is that Intel will be multiplier unlocking at least some E5 Xeons...seems a reasonably likely rumor, as there will be no other way to overclock using this board if the straps are locked.
The one thing I can't figure out with this board is the fact that one socket has 8 DIMM slots and the second has only 4...seems really strange to me.
I hope they do release some multi unlocked Xeons. As this current crop are pointless for discussion in this forum!!!
I think it's both space limitations and hedging your bets.Quote:

Agreed but we've been limiting the discussion to cpu overclocking and since we'd all agree that EVGA and Vince aren't stupid I'm guessing there's things we just don'tQuote:

I do agree Movieman but its abit frustrating. With the X3960 the best strap not only for clocking CPU but also memory and overall system stability is 1.25. My Xeons dont boot at this strap at all!!! Very frustrating.
Assuming the E5-2600's are OC'able. I will be replacing my SR-2 setup.
Im sure like most on here, I have absolutely no need for this system. But I NEED IT!!!
Fixed!:rofl:Quote:

Don't have a clue to release date but end of March is when the chips are supposed to go retail so that is probably when.Quote:

One can drive from point A to point B in a Hundai or one can do it in a AC Cobra..
Which is the more enjoyable ride?:D
ooh my father-in-law's Hyundai is really comfy :)Quote:

hey and its about the same price also. so that works outQuote:
