EVGA SR2-It is here and OH MY GOD is it a thing of beauty!

[Movieman]

glad to see Movieman be the first to have his very own monster
he gonna have so much fun playin wit it,i hope it doesnt ATTACK him though.

Thank you. I've been waiting 5 years for someone to make an overclockable dual socket motherboard and EVGA was the one to have the balls and determination to try.
Then the timing, these 45nm and the upcoming 32nm chips are just plain excellent. My guess is that it will take someone with more skills than I have to get the most from it but I'll give it my best.

i am sure don dan, thjis or any other member of the xs hwbot team would be very happy to make the trip at their own cost and try the overclocking capacity of that monstaa.

i think you'll find there nothing like pure inspiration to unlock the OC beast with in.and that board is 100% pure inspiration.have fun

[Serpentarius]

Naekuh is not here yet ... maybe he's sulking

i was shocked to know Movieman got it first ... how the hell you got your hands on one?
so, time to shove the supermicros aside for this monster huh?


cant wait for initial tests .... come on Movieman, fire it up!
we all cant be waiting patiently forever, you know

[Biker]

Someone ship MM a monster PSU and lots of DDR3 oh and 4 top of the line GPU's pronto! C'mon folks get to it

Seriously though MM i'm glad that you are the first here at Xs to have this monster in your possession and I cannot think of a more deserving recipient

May it keep you at the top of the Xs crunching charts for years to come

[Bobsama]

I can't yet, need to get a 1200w PSU and those suckers ain't cheap.
Also need more memory and that ain't cheap either..
Working on both issues.
I have all the rest and the best cpu's that money can't buy for this!

Why not a pair of Corsair 650/750/850/950TX's? $160/per for the 950TX's, $140/per for the 850TX's, $100/per for the 650TX's. Either way, should be about as much or less than as a single 1-1.2kW unit.

Not the same..I want a 1200w unit..just for the cpu's, a 260GTX and the water cooling system

Eh; it was an idea. Going for PCP&C?

[OverShocked]

WOW, that is a thing of beauty.

Seems like that will be really hard to insulate for sub-z though. A very crowded socket....guess its needed though for a dual CPU overclocking board.

[Aerwidh]

well I'm 52 chest, 40 waist and not sure on the hips..

Best thing I've heard today, thanks Movieman!

[Movieman]

[Bail_w]

That is HAWT!

[Movieman]

That is HAWT!

I haven't seen that much emotion out of Bail since he's been here!

[dejanbinladen]

like all of us asummed this beast will make some serious damage on hwbot

[Kal-EL]

Thats some greatness Movieman, how are you able to contain yourself?

[skycrane]

This board "should" support all 45nm and 32nm dual QPI Gainestown and Westmere cpu's and thats it..
No 920's,W3520's,etc..

Hey MM nice rack.....lol

i thought that one of the main features of the board was that it will work with 2 i7s in it. i know they wont be able to talk to each other over QPI, but that EVGA had a chip in it that would talk to both and let them work as 1.

My personal opinion is that it will croak all the wPrime times, and with the proper vid cards well, lets say that massman will be busy changing the standings!

I wasn't and without embarrassing myself that's the easiest way to say it.

If it will then you know something I don't.
I'm not a big gambler but I'll bet ya $20.00 right here and now that 2- Bloomfield I7's won't work in it.
Want to take that bet?

If I lived in the US I would come over for sure, too bad I'm on the other side of the pond. I'm sure I have enough RAM to get this thing up and running.

I don't think it's technically possible, the chips need two QPIs, so you'll have to buy two Xeons for this board.

[Kriztoffer]

Nice board! Get it up running

[Movieman]

Nice board! Get it up running

As soon as I possibly can..Still a couple parts to pick up..
Remember, it just arrived 18 hours ago..

[par1ah]

i bet the boys over at futuremark are patchin up vantage to use 24 of those bad a#$@ threads you got happening there

congrates on the board

Unfortunately no, but turn off HT and run 12 threads should do the trick..

[shazza]

hehe ... someone is going to be having some fun. Can't wait to see more!

[par1ah]

then we have reached the point of no return lol

time for a new benchmark?

wait till you see what it does to cinebench 11.5!
Maxxon will shake their heads!
