Unless I'm missing something here I just don't see how anyone can OC a dual socket 2011 board.
I'll add that I think this also holds true for the AMD dual socket systems.
I've tried every trick I can think of with my dualie Magnycours system and "It just ain't there"..
Hey Movieman I found this the other day: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpu...ndy-bridge-e/1

Even locked chips should be overclockable, so a "version.2" SR2 board with SB-E should be possible with overclocking features even if the CPU's are locked.

According to this EVGA will have a dual-socket board ready a few months after the X79 release, although thing could've changed since June http://techreport.com/discussions.x/21061
