Bios shot, supports cpu voltage increases, BCLK to 106, selectable memory speeds to 1866 to run SPD and also increases in memory voltage.
Yes, Hell hath frozen over!!

dose this mean that intel is their head out of their ass and putting out an unlocked 2011 DP chip, or is it just that since intel was thought to be adding in XMP to servers since they are a bit memory starved for VM right now.

Unless you can find a pair of the ES unlocked E5's ( I looked everywhere) you'll still be limited, yup, Intelheadarseitis still exists

i thought that maybe sicne the ib-e was delayed they might do something as we have something like another year of the sb-e. i guess it is not like any one would/could say anything since it would be NDA.

On the chips I'm really not expecting them to do anything that we would consider 'good" but just the fact that SM has included OC'ing in a dualie for the first time since the late 1990's is shocking to me.

This is a step in an amazing direction

lets hope the future sees unlocked dual chips..... I wouldnt necessarily bet on it due to the enterprise market focusing very closely on stability and of course it would kill the need for the higher cost chips. unless of course the unlocked xeons were even that much higher in cost.

**lowfat** · 10-18-2012, 04:43 PM

Hopefully this carries over to their AMD boards as well.

**Movieman** · 10-18-2012, 05:26 PM

and just to keep your interest I saw this:
Tested at 1980 MHz (1 DIMM Per Channel, up to 8 DIMMs installed) - Set CPU BCLK to 106 and DDR Speed to 1866

Yea, memory at 1980 and bclk at 106..That is 34x106 and thats 3604 with 2GHz memory..Sayonara wPrime records..

dose it run non ecc ram

It "should" but all I see there is "UDIMM" and thats means unregistered DIMMS..
Could be regular ECC BUT the chipset should handle non ECC and besides, I haven't seen any DDR3-1600 ECC that will run up to 1980

Keep your eye open for Haswell then

And keep your eyes open for this combo at the top..Scary guys..Scary!

So where are the 1366 boards at? There are some of us still on 1366.

1366 is old now, you won't see them doing anything with it..

**bearcatrp** · 10-18-2012, 06:30 PM

Now now MM, not nice to talk about OLD. Its still usefull, Like us. Haha

I agree totally. I have 3-dual 1366 boards here..Just one set of chips though

**K404** · 10-19-2012, 02:34 AM

Dave.....were you involved in this excellent development?

"DP" + "overclock" = "Movieman" It's a perfect and exception-free equation, hence the question.

It really doesn't matter that the options are "limited," for Supermicro to make this step AT ALL is like draining the moat, filling it in, lowering the drawbridge and raising the portcullis all at once.

**lutjens** · 10-19-2012, 03:34 AM

It's true, the Mayans were right!!! The world is ending, the apocalypse is near!! It's about the only time I'd believe that Supermicro would produce an overclockable duallie motherboard...

The board is nice, but the proprietary form factor and lack of SLI support makes its appeal limited, IMHO, to anyone but those interested in a server.

The fact that this product is very server centric indicates that maybe, just maybe, Intel just might clue into the fact that there are quite a few people who would pay very good money for unlocked Xeon E5 processors...nah, Intel gets too much of a hard on maintaining the tightest control possible. I'm surprised they don't have a "feature" that restricts the applications you can run on the Xeon E5, requiring Intel permission (and a fee) to run an unapproved app. Think about it Intel, a way to further enhance your revenue stream by controlling (in your patently granular fashion), the software people can run on their, I mean your, processors...

**Vicey** · 10-19-2012, 03:56 AM

This is very interesting. I wonder why they've chosen to do this now for?

Due to the desktops not sell all that well, this is a last chance to get the sales upward.

**Greg83** · 10-19-2012, 06:55 AM

this thread humors me. all this "awesome" about a 200mhz oc on a $2000 processor, while you could just spend that extra $200 on the next processor 200mhz faster instead of on the board for oc'n?

**[XC] Oj101** · 10-19-2012, 07:19 AM

So $200 gets me 200 MHz? If I give Intel $16,000 will they add 16 GHz to the speed for me?

It's like saying why spend more on a Z77 board instead of H77 to go with your 3770K - the reason is there's no faster chip. Once you get the the top SKU there's no way up other than overclocking.

**Greg83** · 10-19-2012, 07:29 AM

but this is all about 200Mhz, 106blck. its not that great what so ever. now if it could give a real overclocking platform where it can get a 25% even overclock for servers, then impressive. otherwise still makes more sense to get a single core server based on an desktop processor.
now maybe if it can do higher then 106blck and those 10 core ivy's actually allow 120blk, 120x30 multi would be awesome even
