EVGA SR3 motherboard imminent

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:

• 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;
