Interesting. Was kind of hoping they'd go in an ROG direction for their dual 2011.
Remote Management finally... yippeee.. The Sr-2 severely lacked this feature unfortunately.
Hopefully the Evga SR-X will also have this built on.. Things just got very interesting .. Cant wait for these 2 boards !! :D
Really hope this baby can overclock.
that is just crazy i love it:D
My last ASUS dual socket system was a bit of a fiasco to be honest. I'm interested, but I'll wait.
this board would use one of the new patsburg chips... the respin of the one used with the x79 boards... the one with the deleted features put back in...
...now the question is... where is the single chip board with the new patsburg......
Bring it on!!!! I want one. Would have looked better ROG style though.
That is a ugly board! :down:
But maybe it's a good overclocker. :rolleyes:
Has there been any more mention on that 1366/2011 Hybrid board that Asus had as that engineering sample months and months ago?
Wonder if they will end up going down the ROG road to have something to compete with EVGA based off the somewhat success of the SR-2.

Good Layout. Will hopefully be making it into my server refresh.
Impressive piece of machinery. If it overclocks well it is the ultimate folding machine. Imagine 14 water cooled cards (7 x GTX 590s) and 12 i7 cores (2 x Sandy Bridges) all overclocked at their highest possible. It could easily pull numbers better than 10 average PCs and all in one "small" SSI CEB case... like I said quite impressive.
Now all we need is the $7000 to build the machine and a nuclear plant to power it (even though I suspect 2 x 1500w PSUs may be enough)...
The E5 Xeons go up to 8 Core 20MB Cache :DQuote:

I'm officially praying for unlocked E5 Xeons...but I'm not holding my breath...:(
those would be extra spendy.Quote:

Also, has anyone seen the internal connections at the bottom? I was wondering how many USB 3.0 connections this guy will support, amongst other things.
Besides that, it looks like a board that's easy to WC. :up:
Yeah me tooQuote:

It is a -WS (WorkStation) PCB. Not sure why anyone would expect overclocking on it.
Well... It is posted on XTREMEsystems... :DQuote:
