Board looks good though;)
I really cant say either way, 1) i will never own one of either. 2) never used any of EVGAs anythings.
But I will say this looks nice & looks like it will put a hurting on 3dmark 11
Another con on my list :(
Atleast this is my experience.
Asus has black/blue, and for good ol' green there's Tyan and Supermicro.
me you and bog are the only ones who get it.
they made this board hoping that intel would allow some form of OCing but they didnt... so evga is fucked on selling this thing unless a miracle happens.
it costs 3x what a typical mobo does and the cpus will cost you $5000+... AND you still need a 1000watt+ psu that adds another $300.
its like buying a Ferrari that can only go 55mph.
intel sells over 5 million xeons a year and you know how many of them end up in a machine like the sr2/srx?
about 200.
same goes with desktop cpus.
WE ARE less than 5% of intels target audience. THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL BEND TO CATER TO LESS THAN 5% of the market.
the above mentioned w chip will be a single qpi workstation cpu that WILL NOT work in dual socket boards.
when looking at this board people need to keep in mind how SB chips overclock... WITH MULTI.
so you take that fact and put it with the fact that xeons have locked multi's... when then you have a problem. NO OC.
another way to OC SB-E chips, which these xeons are in the SB-E family, is to use bclk straps. again... the xeons have locked bclk straps so that is another setback.
