eVGA Classified SR-2 review @ Guru3d

[Hangin]

---

The overclockers, pro-users and enthusiast hardware scene has been growing for many years now, in fact it has become an interesting market for ODM's and manufacturers to address. Hence all the overclock products names, tags and optimizations on hardware and let's not forget all the competitions.
There is however an extreme overclockers scene that will take it a step further, and especially for a very select demographic some manufacturers try to kick out something really cool. It is without little surprise here that I am talking about eVGA's SR-2 motherboard, which exceeds its reputation.
The SR-2 is a dual-socket Intel 5520 chipset based server motherboard dressed up for hardware enthusiasts, it supports 4-way SLI, has 8-phase PWM and comes with support for a staggering 48GB DDR3 memory, USB 3.0 and even SATA 6Gbps.
The motherboard uses the new, large, massive and huge HPTX form factor that measures 15" x 13.6". When combined with compatible Intel Xeon six-core Core CPUs, you create a massive system capable of up to 24 CPU threads of compute power, which is actually what we'll do today.

Now we won't be testing this board here in the Guru3D office in the Netherlands, instead we had the board shipped to Guru3D's Beaux Loy aka BODAR, the team Guru3D professional overclocker from our forums. Bodar and yours truly have been working on getting this article together. I will get you a technical overview after which we hand out the tests to Bodar to see if we can break some world records.
