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

[sgogeta4]

Well according to eVGA if you have more than 4 cards in the PCIe slots, then it will change all of them to x8 (as compared to Gigabyte's spec sheet which show 4x16 AND 3x8). So for example if I had 3 GTX 480s and a SSD PCIe and then put in a PCIe sound card, it would drop the GPUs and SSD from x16 to x8, which would impact performance.

i already told you. its the same on the ud9. you are misunderstanding. look harder. even newegg lays it out for you.

[sgogeta4]

Thanks a lot. I guess Gigabyte needs to fix their spec sheet online. I'll check out Newegg.

edit: nvm, just didn't read the notes pertaining to the PCIe slots at the bottom of the page. Thanks again. Guess instead of a PCIe sound card, I'll use a USB solution.

For those using the SR-2: what are your PWM temps?

new bios up...

keep in mind, im folding at the moment...

cpu0 isnt getting good airflow around the socket hence the bad temps for PWM

Does anyone have a Kill-a-Watt? How much power are your setups sucking up on stress test?

Thanks for posting, updated OP Did it actually help at all?

What kind of stress test? 2D or 3D?

[sRHunt3r]

My SR-2 system pulls aprox 630-650w using a kill a watt under 100% load crunching WCG. I don't know what it pulls under 3d because then I would need to stop it from crunching

[Vienna]

My CPU0 PWM is running at 90c loaded, maybe I should take a look at reseting the PWM heatsink....

[H2O]

Do you have any airflow over them? The PWMs on my E760 used to get really hot while on the bench table, but I put the fan from the stock Intel heatsink over them and the temps went way down.

[Sam_oslo]

Just picked up tow of these



Didn't have any time to play with it yet, just a test run to get a feeling of this baby.
The Uncore seams to be stuck at x18 on my UD7. Keeping it at BCLK190 with VVT=1.32v for now, but I hope SR-2 can unlock the A0.


Now that I have tree X56xx, would need a SR-3, LOL. But even my SR-2 is not shipped yet, it doesn't have a box yet

[=[PULSAR]=]

I may have some teaser pics of my build up tomorrow. Wish I went with red tubing rather than clear with red dye, we will see how it comes out.

[=[PULSAR]=]

On other news if you ordered a SR-2 EVGA just shipped out the ECP for it

[Sam_oslo]

Trying CPU#2, still on UD7 and Uncore is till stuck at x18.
This baby seams to be much better chip. Got much better IMC and seams to be doing OK at BCLK200 with VVT=1.32v, and need less vCore too

Just got it up and running, and I have to test more, but so far so good:
X5650 @4.0GHz(200x20) 1.21v

Sam - if you have 2 cpus now?
run pcmv and see if it recognizes/uses both procs!

He doesn't have his SR2 board..yet..
BUT soon..

LOL, yeah, but he has been very nice to offer his help for spending time on dealing with shipping and stuff. But he has been having a couple of green weekend and sleepwalking, you know.

Glad to helpyou but the issue has been that EVGA sent this in a box that a small refrigerator would fit in and they get cheap shipping rates, YOU don't, so been trying to find the "right" box to ship this in..
Not a common size but I found the perfect one.
Should help keep the cost down to a reasonable $200.00 or so!

Yeah I know you have been looking for a smaller box to save on shipping for me.
This thningy is not exactly light and little, and international shipping is not exactly cheap either. I appreciate your efforts for reducing it

LOL, top 3 are all air-cooled 2 x X56xx's, while the LN2-guys are hanging after #8 and beyond

Really nice gives me something to shoot for on water. Care to post mem speed and timings

[Fitseries3]

was setup really loose because it is 12x1gb ecc 1066mhz sticks. when running 12 sticks in the sr2 only the 2:6 divider is available so cant OC that high really.

ecc runs really well in the sr2.

timings are listed in the HWbot link.
