EVGA is once again teasing the SR-X motherboard. This photo shows it SR-X in a final stage, equipped with an updated cooling solution made up of four heatsinks (covering VRM areas and chipsets).

The SR-X comes with two LGA 2011 sockets (it supports Sandy Bridge-E CPUs for single-processor setups and Sandy Bridge-EP CPUs for dual-chip configurations), 12 DDR3 memory slots (up to 96 GB of RAM are supported), two (one 8-pin and one 6-pin) power connectors per CPU, six SATA and four SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) ports, seven PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (SLI and CrossFireX support is included), PCIe disable switches, voltage read points, a debug LED, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two eSATA ports, 7.1 channel audio, Bluetooth, EVBot support, and six USB 3.0 connectors (four on the back plate, two via a header).

Wern't it meant to have more SATA ports?

I guess its due to the fact they have added to SAS ports
 
looks to me they tried to keep it at the same form factor as the SR2 and as a result they couldn't fit the extra 4 ram slots

could be

although, most cases that are able to house a SR-2 have a little extra space in them too

so... i think the SR-X could be 10-15mm wider and taller, and it would still fit in them

i do not really care... i AM having one regardless

true

though it will start to get annoying after while if EVGA have to create a new form factor every other year

i would normally sit here claiming i am not at all jealous

but sadly I just can't do that today

what with ttl's 64GB of ram arriving today and you getting one of these...

i am so jelly right now

Is OC3D going to be reviewing the SR-3?

I'd love to see a watercooling rig with this motherboard...will be keeping an eye out for that.
 
I also read somewhere today, the reason as to why evga may have kept 12 ram slots is so that Sr-2 owners can you there ram in the sr-x without having to purchase additional ram. I doubt this was the reason they did it but i see why it does make sense in a way
