Here's hoping for an unlocked late-cycle SB-E or something on Ivy Q1 2013

They have two versions of this board, the other had more RAM slots and IPMI and all that goodness. So torn on which one I would prefer.

The SM board I linked to?
I just googled it and saw from $456 to $699..LOL..Someone is greedy today.

Something else I'd like to toss in here.
We tend to take things for granted but should sometimes take a mental step back and think about things.
How lucky are we all that these companies have hired people like Vince and Peter to bring their perspective and expertise to what we are able to purchase.
I mean that, just think about these guys and add in the Macci's, the Sampsa's, and lets not forget FUGGER who have all added to the vast wealth of knowledge we take for granted.
We never see the direct influence they have given but we do see the results in what we are able to buy.
I'd like to thank them, all!

The motherboards are not the problem. Intel will not released unlocked Xeons for dual cpu configurations. AS for the 105 bclk limit Jacob talked about we have no hard proof just yet with retail chips. Jacob also said an i7 (he meant a single chip I'm sure) would work in the Evga sr-X, but I doubt that will be the case when the board is available in mass quantity.

Oh I'm pretty sure Jacob is right..

As soon as I can BUT I don't have a desktop 2011 cpu but assuming you'll send one for the test?

I don't have a desktop stocket 2011 chip either lol

Here's a review of the board

It showcases thermal performance and a few bios screenshots.

Yea, but they only used the piddly E5-2650's.. This is XS remember?
Nothing but the top E5-2687W chips will do here!

[kuroikenshi]

humm... SR-X is so tempting I might end up getting one even if all it does is sit on the desk and fold.

Chips are the issue, VERY expensive..

[kuroikenshi]

since the old 775 days I have never bothered to look at them... are they still sitting at CIRCA USD2,500?

**edit... sorry I mean AUD, and I just realised, the exchange rate back then was a , now its on a 1-1

The top E5-2687W's are App $1900.00 EACH in the USA..Thats $3800.00 for a pair..
About equal to a mortgage payment on a decent house for 3-4 months!

[kuroikenshi]

ok so here's the plan:
1. I make sure my mortgage payments are covered for the next year
2. I shoot you a PM
3. I post pics!

I will have my Asus by mid-April. Just ordered it yesterday. CPUs will arrive even sooner.

Stork dropped this off... 1 of 2:

[Toolius]

So thats where my stork went.. Grrrrr
id love to know what the ppd for these monsters is going to be .. I have the asus dual socket board coming and one of these chips for now . Will add the second one in a month or so once i save up for it .
Cant believe im spending this much for non overclockable chips but i cant help but lust after that much power and what it will do on wcg
Enjoy them chips and please post numbers quick
Cheers and kind regards !

P.S. On a side note.. i know these chips will work in the Rampage IV extreme. Anyone tried yet to see if they can be overclocked past 108 BCLK on that board ?
