Evga is working on a motherboard sr

Seasoned PC enthusiasts may have heard of EVGA's SR-2 motherboard, a 'monster' motherboard that was one of the best with the LGA 1366 socket at the time. Well, EVGA is already developing a motherboard for the new socket. LGA 3647, with the SR-3 Dark motherboard.

The SR-3 Dark motherboards will be able to house the new Xeon W-3175

EVGA plans to build a new Super Record series motherboard. The source has discovered an EVGA development motherboard that comes with Intel's LGA 3647 socket. This motherboard is specially designed for the Xeon W-3175 processor, which offers 28 cores and 56 threads.

EVGA plans to use a right-angle socket design, tilting the CPU socket on the board and memory slots on its side. This change gives EVGA more room to optimally position the VRMs on the board, placing them close to what appears to be a single right-angle 24-pin connection and four 8-pin EPS / CPU power connectors. This design change limits the processor to a total of six DIMM slots, but with 16GB DIMMs this is enough to get 96GB of DDR4 memory.

Looking closer, the SR-3 Dark appears to have two M.2 slots, three U.2 connectors, and room for at least six SATA connectors. The motherboard has an E-ATX form factor, which means that only the largest boxes can hold one of these.

Although EVGA did not mention when this motherboard will be released, we are likely to see it at Computex 2019. The arrival of a successor to the SR-2 appears to be tantalizing, especially thanks to the return of overclocking-ready Xeon processors.
