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

[Sam_oslo]

As soon as I disabled Hyperthreading. It started up perfectly. But disabling it will cripple my folding@home work. On the EVGA SR-2 forums there are people saying that there are a bunch of issues w/ DirectX applications that if the computer has over 16 threads the application will fail to launch. Obviously poor coding on someones part but still something that has no real fix.

So I'll just set both my SR-2 boxes to the side and just have them run folding@home. Then pick up a Sandy Bridge system for a 24/7 machine. Quite the expensive fix, but it should be fun.

I see, yeah some SW still has a 16C-limit. Usually, the limitations is in DirectX 9.0, and in case you can fix it by modifying the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D in registry. Here is a good guide from Microsoft. There goes the SB fun, LOL.

Thanks for the link. But I have one issue, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D doesn't exist. I have this, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX.

You can add Direct3D then:

1.Run "regedit"
2.Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\, right-click it and choose New -> Key, named Direct3D;
3. then follow the last guide (with DWORD Value, etc ..).

But make a backup of your registry first, just to be on the safe side. Here is how to backup .

Well thanks for crashing my dreams of a Sandy Bridge system.

Now saying that, you are a genius. It worked perfectly.

You ain't seen nothing yet , LOL I'm glad it worked
This will fix all other DirectX 9.0 related 16C limit too

That was a wet dream anyways, now you can settle down and wait for 10-12C dual-socket SB. Hopefully in 9 months, or so.

Hopefully eVGA or another manufacturer will make an overclockable one again.

Yeah, I think we can count on it. My bet would be on 12C/24T double-socket SB, and OC-able MBs from EVGA, GB, and maybe ASUS too. Because multi-core and multi-socket are here to stay, for sure.

What I want to see, is a "cheap" quad-socket SB, and a OC-able Quad-socket MB from EVGA, and hopefully others too. That would be a bit more tricky, tho. We have to wait and see, but I'm confident, we will see some exiting stuff on multi-socket in next round.
