***Official*** eVGA Classified SR-2 Thread

[Fitseries3]

am i the only person here other than dave that has their SR2 running?

[AceNZ]

By the way, you can now pre-order the board and it should ship next week.

I pre-ordered a few days ago, and received shipping confirmation today.

Yeah odd multi seams to need less vCore on X56xx too, but if SR-2 can hit high BCLK then X5650 may do the same 24/7 OC as those other with higher multi.

I read on the evga forum that it's difficult to hit a high BCLK on the SR-2.

@=[PULSAR]= , haven't you get it up yet?

lol.

[snoro]

Fitseries3, have you tried max bclk of the sr-2 ?? Being a student mean i cant afford 2 x5650 but 2 e5620 could be just under my limit if the sr-2 can do around 220 bclk or more

[Kougar]

What case can hold that thing?

Cooler Master's new HAF-X aka (HAF 942) case is supposed to fit one of these things too.

[p2501]

Jebus I'm just reading (currently p19) Fit's build log thread over at TP.... that is one crazy awesome project.

[PatRaceTin]

does it support normal core i7 1366 cpus?

Cooler Master's new HAF-X aka (HAF 942) case is supposed to fit one of these things too.

The 9 expansion slots and Length seams to be a good fit, but the Width seams to be inadequate. I don't have the exact number, just from the look of it. This looks like a great case with good cooling and many innovations. If it can fit with minor mod, then it can be the saver.

Yea, I was just looking at that case last night since a lot of the new boards are the ATX -xl like the UD9 and eVGA 4 way

Hi Fitseries, do you have pictures of your sr2 system ? and watercooler system ? thx

am i the only person here other than dave that has their SR2 running?

[Sam_oslo]

According to CoolerMaster spec the HAF X can hold M-ATX / ATX / E-ATX / XL-ATX, but this is not enough for SR-2 (HPTX Form Factor). It may still fit, but I can't find the exact max-Width it can hold anywhere.

[AceNZ]

EDIT: Does the SR-2 have one 5520, or two? I'm beginning to think it only has one, with several NF200's making it look like it has more PCIe lanes than it really has; if so, I'm afraid I may have made the wrong choice...

does it support normal core i7 1366 cpus?

No. Dual-QPI (5000-series) Xeons only.

[sRHunt3r]

The SR-2 has 1 5520 and 2 NF200 chips but can run 4 pci-e slots at 16x.

dual i5520 IOH chips would have alot more latency than the nf200's.

evga chose the better option.

[AceNZ]

The SR-2 has 1 5520 and 2 NF200 chips but can run 4 pci-e slots at 16x.

1 5520 and 2 NF200s means that it is running 4 PCIe slots at x16, but muxed into only 32 lanes.

[Fitseries3]

if you put a card in an 8x slot, all 7 slots drop to 8x though.

That's good to know! Can I ask how you figured that out or where you heard it?

Do you know which slots are attached to which NF200?

[SteveRo]

Fit - beautifull setup! can't wait to see some beches!

all 7 slots are on nf200's.

there are 2 nf200's on this board, same as the classy 762.

[snoro]

sorry for asking again but fitserie, what is the max bclk you got on your sr-2 ?

This looks really good The setup is great. The size of the case is literally great too, OMG.

I hope you can post some OCing results soon. It is really interesting to see SR-2 in high-BCLK action.

[=[PULSAR]=]

A44 BIOS released here

The following has been updated in A44:

* Improves Resource Allocation
* Number of GPUs Now Displayed at Boot
* Uncore Ratio Selection Added

Nice to see the uncore is now adjustable

[Sam_oslo]

Yeah, the unlocked Uncore it really important. It will make a BIG difference.

I only need a BCLK220+ confirmation for 24/7 stability, and the rest will rock, for sure.
