Come on guys!
What happened with the SRX?
Why it is not available yet? (it was announced!!)
Whats the approach with the Xeon and the OC? (we know Intel blocked them, dont tell us again).
When will be available?
Can we at least put i7 there? (one, of course),, can you commit to long term support on the Bios?
Why do you guys announce a product that cripples the credibility on your products?
We need solid answers (no business mumbo-jumbo and pseudo-answers) ,, you advertised a product, you launched,, now you own an explanation to the people that started spending big $$$ buying parts for a potential build with the Mobo.
Little responsibility please?

I too would like the board to be released. My school project has been put on hold for just this one piece. I'm more concerned about stability so an overclocking feature is something I can do without. I really hope that we don't have to wait as long as the SR-2 since it was also announced and released a month or so later.
Dear EVGA,
I'm ready to hit the buy button once it's available!
Also... where are the power supplies?

I'm pretty sure, they were working on making new SR-X and it will be Ivy Bridge SR-X!

I highly doubt they will release a new board just for IB-E Xeons. As for the OP, that was the most demanding and abrasive first post I have ever seen. EVGA doesn't owe you or any of us squat until we give them our money. Let's go down your little list, here: 1. Have you noticed how few dual Xeon boards of any kind are in stock? I suspect there's some sort of supply issue or March 6 was a serious soft launch of the boards from Asus, Super Micro, intel, and tyan. 2. See point 1. Just because they announce something does not mean they have to release it immediately. 3. If you know intel locked them I'm not sure why you're asking. If by telling EVGA that you don't want to hear about how the Xeons are locked, you're looking for a different answer. Here's my answer: YOU'RE SCREWED. 4. I don't know when it will be available. Best guess? A month from now. Maybe sooner, but I doubt it greatly. 5. Yes it will run with one i7, and no they can't commit to keeping that feature with future BIOSes. Jacob and crew already discussed this. 6. Would you prefer they tease an SR-X and then say, "nah, nevermind. We realized that it would be unwise to release a product that manny2002 doesn't fully approve of." Seriously dude, if you don't like it, don't buy it. EVGA's reputation isn't going to be damaged by intel's overclocking lock. And yet again, EVGA doesn't owe you diddly crap. They don't release things on your schedule. All your childish post is doing is making EVGA think a little bit more next time about whether or not it's worth it to preview any of their products.

I mean personally I don't really care... But just saying as much as evga has a right to not care what he says or wants, he has just as much right to demand and whine and moan about whatever he hopes to spend money on. Just like everyone else whining about every other product that is launch delayed. 680 gtx comes to mind right now...

I dont know what kind of love relationship some people on this forums have with EVGA, me? Im an EVGA "customer" on other products, and a prospect customer on this one, and YES, I have the right to get an explanation when a vendor 'tease' the market (you, me, us) and later acts like nothing happened. Or why do you think EVGA tease? because they love us and wanted us to take a peek on whats coming? (couple of people on this thread are some of the few that mix $$ with the heart) EVGA calculates what they do, and if they were expecting to draw the market's attention towards them after seeing how ASUS (for example) was ready to release their dual XEON SB board, then you know what? SCREW 'THEM', this is how the customer base reacts when vendors are irresponsible. Lesson for EVGA? Customers are not stupid, we are not here as marionettes of their announcements and YES, they own an explanation to the people they teased. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS or DELETE THE FLASHY ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE WEBSITE.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that IB-E Xeons woudl liekly run in the same board. I'm ready with the CPU's just need a board but i'm being patient. :)

Not knowing EVGA's plans, of course - but to me it looks like a problem on the supply side.
Why do I think so?
Last week I ordered E5 mobo from one of the EVGA's competitors, to use it until SR-X becomes available. I got the board delivered yesterday - unfortunately, the board is DOA and won't POST :( I called the seller, and they told me they have 0 of them in stock and that it might take a while to ship the replacement to me, so I actually applied for manufacturer's own RMA process... Still awaiting their reply.
I even had to buy that board in the UK, as they do not have them in Germany still... Currently, in Germany they only have some limited stocks of Supermicro C60x dual-socket motherboards. Tyans are "on order" and there are no signs of ASUS Z9PE which is only available in the UK (and in very limited quantities). SR-X is, of course, not even listed anywhere yet.
All of this is telling me that there is a supply issue with C602/C606 chipsets.
EVGA is smaller compared to, say, ASUS or Supermicro, and they do not have server lines of motherboards so I suppose they are simply not having enough C606 Patsburg chips.
This is just my theory, of course - but looking at the current sorry state of Xeon E5 motherboard supply, I'd say it is indeed plausible.

Well said Psyq321 and maybe helpful for people to know that EVGA is not the only one that isn't 100% ready to ship after product announcement. I work in Marketing and trust me, nothing is happening here that is not normal. EVGA and other mobo manufacturers all like to get the word out ahead of being ready to ship. That is an important strategy because if they kept silent until absolutely ready to fill most orders, the competition doesn't wait to announce and it could appear that EVGA has no solution in the works. People are not EVGA fan boys for simply understanding that concept, it's just a fact of how companies do business and market products.
Having been an EVGA customer for many years across a variety of products, I have seen more care and consideration from them about how to treat a customer than many computer companies I've encountered. Give them a chance and some time, and you will get what you want (even answers).
