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

[=[PULSAR]=]

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.

Just found out can only adjust on A0/A1 and B1 chips, sucks it won't work on our B0's.

This looks good but it is just a prototype. When are they going to get the finger out and release this?. This also mean SR-2 is not going to fit in HAF X, apparently.

Yeah I've heard the same a couple of days ago, no unlocking on B0 yet.
I got B1, tho

According to the specs, it only supports 4x16 and if you have more than 4 PCIe cards then it drops to 6x8 + 1x16. Kinda disappointing since Gigabyte's GA-X58A-UD9 can do 4x16 + 3x8 (using the X58 instead of the 5520, which are pretty much identical in terms of PCIe and both have 2x nF200). Wonder why eVGA doesn't allow a similar configuration since I am interested in more than 4 PCIe cards (such as sound card, which only requires a x1 slot but I'd rather not have it drop the dual GPUs to x8). Also, there are 12x DIMM slots with maximum memory capacity at 48GB. How is this limit actually derived from? I don't suppose anyone has 8GB sticks to test on this (and theoretically filling up to 96GB max). Anyone have any insight on these issues?

Very nice

I'm assuming that you can OC both processors independently? different multi's? same BClk?

Nice thread PULSAR, keep those pics coming.

[radaja]

Fitseries3,thats a very nice chip you got there

[Fitseries3]

2 chips actually.

and thanks.

not bad for water

[=[PULSAR]=]

Wish I had mine up and running already I just want to do it right.

[zsamz_]

does the board support 2 980x cpus?

[Fitseries3]

does the board support 2 980x cpus?

no... dual qpi xeons only.

[radaja]

2 chips actually.

and thanks.

yea i got that since we in the SR-2 thread.i guess i should have said very nice chipS you got there

Are you sure about that? That sucks if that is true as I have a B0 ES and I have the option of grabbing another one for cheap, but now I will have to rethink that one.

[Fitseries3]

i can confirm. B0 has locked uncore

if i could trade my B0s for B1s i'd be all over that.

UPDATE

A45 BIOS

The following has been updated in A45:

* Improves Graphics Card Compatibility

[Fitseries3]

seems to have also fixed slow boot issues i was having.

*bump* Has anyone tried more than 4 PCIe cards? Does it automatically switch to x8 lanes? I'm hoping a BIOS update will be available to make this board comparable to the Gigabyte one in terms of GPU capabilities. I mean if someone is gonna put in $5000+, you want the best of the best right? I doubt anyone's gonna be wasting money to test out the 48GB capacity though if anyone has 8GB sticks, I would definitely be interested in knowing if those work without any issues.

[resident1509]

i think you misunderstand how the ud9 works. its the same.

Why would you need more than 4 slots with 16x lanes?

[Fitseries3]

7 8800gt's for folding or multi monitor setups.

[=[PULSAR]=]

7 8800gt's for folding or multi monitor setups.

It's been tested before numerous times that when folding their is no difference between 16x and 8x.

[Fitseries3]

correct and thats why none of us understand the complaining.
