Asus will also have a new customer this week, if EVGA dont give a solid answer about the release of the SR-X in North America.

Another Benchmark, by request :
 
Got hold of a 16 core version of Fritz Benchmark from :

Program: Fritz Chess Benchmark 4.3


Fritz Chess Benchmark 4.3 : Logical Processors Found : 16 . Processors to use : 16.

@3.1GHz - Test 11-15 Average : Result = 111478/5 = 22295.6 , relative speed : 223.26/5 = 46.652

Hope they are useful for some, but it seems, that the Chess engine is not using the Xeons 16 cores / 32 threads properly, as I remember a 3960x @ 5.05GHz had 26500, relative speed : 55.21  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QIAMpCaKxU

Thank you very much for running this.
here is a video I did several months ago with SR-2 using 12 threads clocked at 4.5 with HT off.

Hello.
 
Yes, I think they were at 100%, but I am not entirely sure.
 
I do think though, that the primary reason that your computer reached 28860, probably was due to the higher memory speed (compared to mine) - I am not sure entirely, why else that even a fully clocked sr2 would beat a srx (at least computationally, in e.g. cinebench, the sr-x is faster - so a reasonable assumption as your had 2000mhz mem, and mine had 1333mhz mem, that the Fritz Benchmark program uses the memory a lot).
 
I have purchased a 3960x to put in one of my two motherboards - so I will test both with that chip - running them in 1 cpu mode.
Besides that I will also try to see if 2400MHz Memory will be be possible to acquire - and try the tests again (both for the 2xE5 2687w's and the 1x3960x)

... ;Try to keep PCH Voltage 1.5000V in the low 1.5xxx range and the PLL Voltage Control in the low 1.9x(x) range.  Let me know if this helps.

I tried the following :
1.) Increase PLL VCore from 1.900 to 1.909 (in 0.001 step intervals - I am not entirely sure what exact you meant by 1.9x(x) - that I should test only in the (x) or if the (x) was irrelevant) - I will do more tests later in the 1.9(x)x range (the (x) range, later today).
... .

Since the overclock potential isn't great, I don't deem large increases to be justified and my reference to 1.9x(x) took that belief into account, not knowing the granularity of control provided by the bios.  

Hello Sleinous.
 
There are 2 slots between the 1st PCI-E slot and the I/O backplate (meaning, the first PCI-e slot goes into the 3rd expansion slot hole, counted from the I/O backplate) - at least for my Lian Li PC P80N chassis/cabinet/case - and I would assume goes for any chassis/cabinet/case. (and those 2 holes are unused, and can thus be used for e.g. water cooling extra, or USB/other backplate necessities).

Any comparisons with the Asus model yet CyberstormXIII?...Well apart from the lan issue of course.
 
Trying to resist pulling the trigger on that asus board, wich is available and in stock where i live to make it worse....

Anyone  for ES chip and 1.35V dimm compatibilities ?

A question for fellow SR-2 Users, is, how exactly is the E-Leet Tuning Utility supposed to work ? I have tried to use it, but regardless of what settings I set in the BIOS, when having booted into Windows 7, it shows the current values, but I am unable to alter anything but the Turbo multiplier pr core - the BCLK is not an option to change (Actually everything else is just a "grey" area (not even greyed out numbers in the different Clock Controls, which I should think would be the most prominent to be able to change.))
 
It shows under the Overclocking tab the following :
  Clocks Control:
                CPU            BCLK        RAM        PCIE         PCI
 Current
 Selection
 
everything grey, in those 10 boxes.
Below are then 2 sliders BCLK and PCI-E, both of those are also greyed out and disabled.
 
Also, an answer from EVGA regarding this would be very nice ...
 
Either its me who does not know what I am doing ... if so, please do educate me ...
 
Thirdly, it would be nice for anyone else, who have the board to post their experiences here ... I feel quite alone ... I mean, I cant be the only one who have it ?!?!

CyberstormXIII, I wouldnt be surprise that you were the only lucky one.
:-)
The waiting room is full of people with CC in their hands.
Im actually here killing the time browsing at supermicro.com , maybe I can find a Mobo where to put my two E5-2687W.
Got them last week, got everything else, but still missing the SR-X,,.
As much as I want to make you company, Im seriously considering moving to something else.

 
I've been spamming the refresh at the evga's site and performance pcs. I still haven't ordered my cpus, but I got my Ram, case, and a few other things. I too wanted to give CyberstormXIII some company, but the benchmarks keeps making me more and more jealous.
 
I'm also waiting for Noctua to release the new coolers with the ram clearance. It seems as though these companies are waiting on each other to release their products.
 
I'm running out of time here :/

It provides a touchy feelly was to adjust clock and volt values for stability on a running system. You've got to record them and adjust your bios to match your best setting and save the bios in case of the need to re-set.

Terry is correct. Most people do not even bother with E-LEET. Only time most people use it is to push out those last few MHz you can achieve once in windows but can't boot with when running benchmarks. I do not even use the program when I overclock.

dimobr  where did you get yours?
 

Oh, I see, you are one of the "Lucky 5" from Perfomance-PCs.
:-)
 

Just went though the thread again. At least two others in the thread have received the EVGA SR-X board.
 
CyberstormXIII Ordered the EVGA SR-X on April 17th, at 05:28 AM (EVGA Site time)

Fireclaw received his EVGA SR-X on April 23rd, at 12:54 PM (or earlier) (EVGA Site time)
NEMESIS2011 received his EVGA SR-X on April 25th at 2:29 AM (or earlier) (EVGA site time)
CyberstormXIII received his EVGA SR-X on April 25th at 16:57 AM (exact) (EVGA site time)

So, Fireclaw, and NEMESIS2011 --- please do tell, what you have experienced so far ;-)

Any cinebench results :D?

I had posted on page 10, the results that I had, but to avoid quoting myself, ill just paste the links :

One minor notice if you look up 2 posts, I had a 27.57 result, after altering the voltages of PCH, PLL and PWM to 20 above their standard values.
