    SR-2 - Checking NVRAM and hang

    Hello everyone. The god of the BIOS known as LOCO Laptop has gifted the community with a version of the A49 BIOS for the eVGA Classified SR-2 that gets rid of some serious frowny memory errors while still supporting the Engineering Sample version of the Xeon E5530 procesor. GET IT HERE W00t !!

    New Build for Editing/Animation

    Oh, and I forgot to mention. There are very few cases that support the EVGA Classified SR-2. The only one on Newegg that has been confirmed to generally fit it is the Lian Li P80. Even this case barely fits it, with the board sticking off the motherboard tray and requiring the use of all of the...

    New Build for Editing/Animation

    Hey all, I just popped a pair of G.Skill F3-10666CL9T-12GBRL kits in to my EVGA Classified SR-2 rig, and I have to report that as of the most current BIOS (A47), these kits do not provide stable operation, even when run at lower than spec timings, and higher than spec voltages. I've...

    SR-2 - Checking NVRAM and hang

    Lehmann, I have the same handle in several places, starting probably back in the '90s, when Star Trek TNG was still hapenin', but haven't traditionally been a big poster. You're certainly correct about the GTX 460 vs. 470 argument, and I would love to get 460s on general price/performance...

    SR-2 - Checking NVRAM and hang

    I'll certainly give it a whirl... At the moment it's not really up to the task. First of all, I've got to give Musky and LOCO another shout out. After getting a loaner CPU and flashing my BIOS, I'm up and running. Writing this on my new schweeet machine. Couldn't have done it without you guys...

    SR-2 - Checking NVRAM and hang

    Hey all, Just got my SR-2 and I'm super stoked, but clever me also got some B0 ES 5530 chips, and I'm experiencing the same issue as musky. Do ya think you could make that modded BIOS available? PLZZZZZ?? :p ...now I've gotta beg one of my clients to let me borrow a 5520 for the...

    Monarch Computer Bites the Dust?

    At least Monarch can't rip anyone else off... But I'm still fighting with my bank for the $4000 that they stole from me. Just to highlight the problem here: $4000 is about eight months rent for me, and those computers weren't mine: They were purchased for clients, so now I owe my clients...

    Monarch Computer Bites the Dust?

    I've been following this thread since its inception. My story is similar to many. In October and November I ordered two systems, whose combined price was very nearly $4000. Neither system ever showed up despite much effort spent following up on my orders. I'm currently trying to deal with my...
