XEON E5-2600 Series doesn't have BCLK strap, it only can set bclk=100 strap! So we need to wait for the Ivy Bridge-E or a Extreme Model!

Did you read that somewhere official, or is it based on someone's results using an ES chip? I don't think EVGA would be investing a lot of money in an overclocking board if the chips can't be overclocked, it wouldn't make good business sense.

It comes directly from ASrock, we had tried to overclock several Xeon E5 Series, about the Strap. First try 6 Core Xeon: h10.abload.de/img/x79extreme9withxeonljox0. jpg Second try 8 Core: Fail E5-Serie release saved.im/mtg2odyzetkw/xeonpreise. jpg Why?: Anscheinend hat der Xeon der E5-2600 Serie keine "paths"/profiles im PCH um verschiedene Multiplikatoren einzusetzen. Das PCH definiert nämlich welche Tacktung-SRC, was steuert. Dieses läuft dann über das ICC. Leider scheint es so als würde das ICC die Ausgabe verweigern oder keine Daten beinhalten, die das Motherboard abrufen kann.

Hello all,
the photo on start of page is a final product or just "pre-final" stage of board - need a LOT of ram and the Single thread performance - (the Multi too but with conjunction with xGPUs ) so need a lot of RAM slots - at least 256 GB (16x16 GB modules )

It's not going to have 16 slots.

 Even Jacob has said it'll have 16 slots, any source or reason why you say that it wont? edit- misread, im entirely on too many drugs for my broken arm, my brain read 12 slots.

Sorry, what is meant by 16 slots?? If memory slots you can see from the various pictures posted that it has 12 slots for memory.

I see no reason why not to call it unofficially as the SR-3. Technically speaking the E762 was the SR-1.

If it were meant to be the SR-1, they would have called it that. The SR-X would have to have 3 sockets in order to be called the SR-3, technically.

So, by your logic an SR-X has 10 sockets?

Only if they had called the SR-2 the SR-II instead...
I had this exact same argument on OCN a while back. That's weird.

Reiterating opinion does not make an opinion any more or less valid. Especially with something as unofficial as a nickname.

It comes directly from ASrock, we had tried to overclock several Xeon E5 Series, about the Strap.
First try 6 Core Xeon:
h10.abload.de/img/x79extreme9withxeonljox0. jpg
Second try 8 Core:
Fail
E5-Serie release saved.im/mtg2odyzetkw/xeonpreise. jpg
Why?:
Anscheinend hat der Xeon der E5-2600 Serie keine "paths"/profiles im PCH um verschiedene Multiplikatoren einzusetzen. Das PCH definiert nämlich welche Tacktung-SRC, was steuert. Dieses läuft dann über das ICC.
Leider scheint es so als würde das ICC die Ausgabe verweigern oder keine Daten beinhalten, die das Motherboard abrufen kann.
you're pics are not working, like to see them

Delete the Space between " . and jpg, than it should work. Or look here Here you see a Xeon LGA 2011 with a Strap / 1.25.  and here a 8 Core Xeon, but without any Profiles in the PCH for the ICC.  Price in Euro (first release):

im looking at geting a srx simply becase the stuff i do. i use a lot programs that are cpu intisive. for media encoding and such. the srx also looks like it has 2 sas conectors for 8 sata iii drives. plus 2 onboard sata iii so 10 sata iii drives and 4 sata ii devices. but being evga will allow me gaming with a good gpu like the 580 clasified air cooled and still alow me plenty room for something like the zonar zense, Hauppauge's Colossus, & Hauppauge's WinTV-HVR-2250. so im building it as a hybrid gaming/encoding/storage system. my question is has anyone found any kinds of specks on it as of yet???

would the SR-X witha good gpu like the 580 clasified air cooled and still alow me plenty room for something like the zonar zense, Hauppauge's Colossus, & Hauppauge's WinTV-HVR-2250. alow me good work to do encoding with storage and decent gaming or would u all recommend a regular 3gb 580 or the new gen 3 gpu when it releases as well? Edit: i wonder if the SR-X can use dual EVGA Superclock CPU Coolers

Here you see a Xeon LGA 2011 with a Strap / 1.25.
and here a 8 Core Xeon, but without any Profiles in the PCH for the ICC.
That 6-core CPU-Z shot is an Engineering Sample i7 3960X. Multipliers, cache sizes, core count all match the 3960X. It could also be an E5-1660, which is not a 2-way capable part. Every E5-2600 I've had my hands on(4 of them) is locked multi, locked strap. Depending on the board, most refuse to boot when you enter strap or multi higher than the locked maximum. That HWiNFO screenshot is very typical of Engineering Sample Xeons. 106 MHz BCLK and turbo multi's. 107 MHz BCLK rarely works, and it's almost never stable for long periods. Question remains, what CPU's will this board support? i7 = No multi-socket. Xeon = Locked.

Not exactly; the ES Xeons are locked. Unless you have your paws on retail/OEM samples? Not sure if I've seen any of those tested.
That said, I'm interested to to see how this pans out. Hopefully the 2650/2660 range will OC at least a little bit.

Attempting to give hope to those of you fearful of an expensive SNB dual-socket setup: FWIW, best I can tell based on a combination of CPU specs and rumored prices, the E5-2600's doesn't entirely succeed the Xeon 5600's, at least not all of them. It looks like the higher end of the 5600's are being replaced by E5-2600 ( thus higher average prices), but the lower-end is being replaced by E5-2400 ( thus lower average prices) using LGA1356 and it appears later in the year. LGA1356 parts still have up to 8-cores up to 2.4GHz; except you get triple-channel DDR3, 24 lanes of PCIe 3.0 each and no overclocking; unless EVGA makes a junior SR-X or SR-L for light. Even if a vendor did make an overclockable version that barely reaches the speeds of stock E5-2600's, at least it is a cheaper route than going for the E5-2600's. You just have to wait another 6-8 months for it. sweetalice79
my question is has anyone found any kinds of specks on it as of yet??? It has been brought up in the seven pages of this thread, not like you're the only one asking, just start digging-- or look here or here.  The board will debut officially around when the CPU's debut, which will be next month. Intel has been pretty consistent, their Xeon 5600, 5500 and 5400 have all debuted the month of March.

I haven't seen or heard of OEM/retail parts yet. Everything thus far has been ES, and all fully locked.
I hope the vanilla E5 Xeons allow BCLK strap changes. That was the beauty of the SR-2 was you could buy a pair of sub-$1000 chips and really get something out of them.
Requiring an Extreme Xeon would be unattractive.

If the retail chip ends up being BCLK locked, the only thing I can think of is waiting for an unlocked multiplier or at least partially unlocked Xeon from Intel. I would not hold my breath on that at least not right away. Intel makes the most money off selling these processors to businesses that need them and buy them in large quantity such as businesses with data centers not off the relatively few enthusiasts that buy these processors for overclocking.
