EVGA Teases Community with Upcoming LGA2011 Motherboard Prototype
EVGA teased its community with a picture of one of its first single-socket LGA2011 motherboards. The graphics card major was missed at this year's Computex event at the wall holding upcoming LGA2011 boards. The company then pacified its fans with news that it was working on a monstrous dual-LGA2011 motherboard along the lines of the SR-2. We can't tell very much about the board in the picture below, except that it has socket LGA2011 with a typical CPU area layout, makes smart use of the congested VRM area with high-C capacitors and driver-MOSFETs, and looks to have some innovations such as right-angled 24-pin ATX power connector. Power, reset, and clear CMOS buttons are found at a place accessible to overclockers, so are some voltage measurement points. One can also see a heat pipe winding its way about into the frame on the top-left corner. That's about it with what we can tell from the picture.

Ever wonder why it took them so long to out an 1155 board?
Hire new guys and rebuild the design team...
Also, the master overclocker Shamino stayed.
but after some digging it appears he may be at asus now.
I've been waiting for an SR-3 for about a year now.
keeping on topic, that looks nice from what I can tell but I still don't like the dimms being || [x] ||
^Pin maps of LGA1156 and LGA1155 side by side.
Good jobs EVGA looks nice, I love a company you can talk to and then they come up with solutions.
They might only have 2 DIMMs per CPU so the other CPU is just outside of that picture. Then again, it could have something to do with those new quad-channel memory controllers that have yet to debut (excluding 771, of course). We'll have to wait and see as always...
