pete the board price scared me of enough, ive never seen a board with 16 mem slots b4, im guessin its a pretty high end server board and handle a high work load on its ear, but for overclockin i havent a clue with it

Dont be surprised if Frank's got one. The Cpu's come with up to 16 cores depending on the exact model so n the board thats x2 = 32 cores.

It's 3 times the cost that it should be.

Devil's advocate as always Server hardware will not be allowed again in Bot competitions, so spend the money more wisely. BTW, in my business we are running 16 servers. Each has 4 X E7-8890-V4 processors and 1024gb of ram. That means 96 cores / 192 threads per server. Many times crossed my mind to run a Geekbench or CBR15 on one and see what happens. I suppose we will have lots of people fainting over there at the BOT. Hahaha...

That's how dhenzjhen gets all his points.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
True about Drehzen. On the other hand, overclocking is not about using a 130.000$ machine, AT STOCK SETTINGS, to brake all records and take all first places.
To my understanding, an overclocker, squeezes the most out of anything, pushing things to the limit. That is the purity of this hobby, and I am not changing my mind.
It is very easy, if funds exist, to buy a 2.5 million dollars Bugatti Chiron with 1500hp and pretend to be a good driver.
Back to topic folks...

I have integrity just as you do. I wouldn't do it either.

Thanks, I wouldn't buy one now... but the one I passed on would only had cost me $85CAD.
It was from an Amazon return shipment. it's the same place I got my EVGA e770 SLI board i'm running in my daily right now. I didn't pull the trigger because I was low on funds and had no hope of buying the CPU's that the board needed let alone two of them... most Server board will run with only 1 CPU installed, but not the SR-2. it won't even boot unless there are 2 CPU's installed... so that's why I didn't buy it... I then had the cash a week later in hopes of just flipping it, but it was gone... cause even then used ones were still going for $250-$350 pending having the box and accessories... this one was complete. none of the bags of goodies were open... and the warranty still applied... I registered my e770 without an issue..This SR-2 would had been the same thing. Vin
