Ryan Martin / 13 years ago
EVGA’s SR2 motherboard was a beast for the LGA 1366 platform but now that X58 is on its way out Intel’s new performance platform “LGA 2011” needs a replacement high end motherboard. The SR3 will deliver those consumers who are looking for extreme performance exactly what they are looking for. A dual CPU socket motherboard supporting 4 way SLI is sure to break records. Here is a quick overview of some of the other features of this upcoming board:
- X79 Patsburg T chipset;
- Dual LGA 2011 sockets;
- Seven PCI-E 3.0 lanes ( Four 16X 3.0 capable and three 8X 3.0 capable);
- NVIDIA 4 Way SLI;
- Dual Sandy Bridge-EP Xeon processor support ( Dual Sandy Bridge-E i7 compatibility to be announced since only Xeon’s are normally equipped with the QPI lanes required to run multiple CPU set ups);
- 6+1 Phase VRM per CPU socket;
- 12 RAM slots (8 for socket 1 and 4 for socket 2 both quad channel);
- Dual EPS 8 Pin power connectors;
- 14 SATA ports (unknown SATA II and III balance just yet);
- 8+2 channel HD audio;
- two gigabit Ethernet connections;
- USB 3.0;
- Bluetooth;
- EVBot support (the gadget could even come bundled);

- Voltage read points.
