EVGA 270-WS-W555-A2 Classified SR-2 Motherboard
We are proud to present the EVGA 270-WS-W555-A2 Classified SR-2, the absolute ultimate for the extreme user. It takes everything that made the X58 Classified 4-way SLI motherboard great and doubled it up. Now you can experience the ultimate in overclocked multithreaded performance by way of Dual 1366 sockets which allow for hyper-threaded Intel Xeon CPU’s to be combined together for massive amounts of workload to be spread across a multitude of processing threads. When combined with compatible Intel 6 Core CPU’s, you create a massive system capable of up to 24 CPU threads of compute power. If you want future-proof, this is it! EVGA has literally created a new form factor to fit all the amazing things on one board. Whether you are an extreme gamer, overclocker, power user, workstation user, server admin, folder/cruncher, or just a PC enthusiast; this is the ultimate motherboard. The EVGA 270-WS-W555-A2 Classified SR-2 motherboard will encode your movies, render your images, or even load your games faster than you ever thought possible.

Important note: This board uses a proprietary HPTX Form Factor. A case with 9 or more expansion slots is required, 10 for 4-Way SLI.

Got what I paid for

Best dual CPU gaming motherboard there is. Will support tripple GPU if your heart and wallet can handle it. But you might want to seriously think about water cooling that beast as air cooling is quite noisy compared with the Asus Z8PE-D12X it's replacing.
