BIOS 1.03 updates:

• Update menu items
• Fix system cannot boot when VCore or VSA voltage set too low
• PCI-E improvements
• Fix compatibility with GTX 980

 
 
Windows Installation

• Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:

         270-SE-W888-KR - EVGA SR-X

• Close all open programs

nice job and thank for this  update
 
if you  working  on update with SR2 to use the  GTX980 ?
 
 
 
 

Jesus!
 
thank you...so far everything looks good,
and finally the XMP Profiles work, though the menu doesn't list DDR3 2400, only up to 1866...
 
first run through, but it seems fine...

Oh my God, I can't believe !  Thank you EVGA. Hope new bios work ok.

First of all, a big thank you for re-supporting the SR-X flagship after a year of silence.
 
: It boots and configures without any problems.
 
: Though I have equipped the board with two Xeon E5-2687W v2 running at 3.4/4 GHz, the multiplier of each core only varies from 12 (idle) to 34 (load), even with only a single core active. In the setup Turbo Boost is enabled. According to the processor's spec that should be 40 (x 100 MHz = 4 GHz).
 
: The Intel Turbo Boost Technology remains disabled, regardless what you do in the setup.
 

Updated now.It's ok.I have 2 xeon 2687W and my turbo enabled works very well on all cores (3,4 on 32 threads now).
Also my CORSAIR 1866 DDR3 now work very well by correct XMP Profile (before it they worked 1600 by always XMP Profile).
Well done EVGA from ITALY.

I have 2 xeon 2687W and my turbo enabled works very well on all cores (3,4 on 32 threads now).

If you speak about the 2687Wv2 with Turbo Boost enabled, the frequency should be 4 GHz (and not only 3.4 GHz) if there is full load on one core only.
See http://ark.intel.com/compare/64582,76161,81909 
This unfortunately does not work.
The maximum frequency is always 3.4 GHz (18% less than 4 GHz).

Hi,
 
no, i am speaking for my XEONs 2687W (3,1Ghz) and with Turbo Boost enabled they are working 3,4Ghz on all cores.It is correct for my XEONs.

OK I understand, your 2687W(v1) XEONs are in the left column and my 2687Wv2 XEONs are in the right column of the Intel comparison chart: [http://ark.intel.com/compare/64582,76161]. So jobs using all kernels simultaneously will run at 3.1 GHz on your and at 3.4 GHz on my XEONs.
 
With Turbo Boost enabled, single kernel jobs should run at 3.8 GHz on your and at 4.0 GHz on my XEONs.
 
The 3.4 GHz you could measure on your system might indicate a reduced load on some of the kernels.
A really good news as it shows Turbo Boost is in deed working on your 2687W(v1) XEONs.
 
Unfortunately, my 2687Wv2 XEONs never exceed the 3.4 GHz.
So, Turbo Boost is effectively disabled on the 2687Wv2 XEONs,
regardless what I enable or disable in the BIOS.
 
 

I have 2 2687w's, the first rev...and in turbo boost runs @ around 3.8 GHz.
This is confirmed by cpuZ.
 
Matter of fact it was the case with the previous bios, v.20 - only difference was in that there was no option in the menu to enable/disable TurboBoost, it was enabled through other means (which I forget at this point).
 
Have you set your power scheme to maximum performance?
