EVGA Teases Community with Upcoming LGA2011 Motherboard Prototype
EVGA teased its community with a picture of one of its first single-socket LGA2011 motherboards. The graphics card major was missed at this year's Computex event at the wall holding upcoming LGA2011 boards. The company then pacified its fans with news that it was working on a monstrous dual-LGA2011 motherboard along the lines of the SR-2. We can't tell very much about the board in the picture below, except that it has socket LGA2011 with a typical CPU area layout, makes smart use of the congested VRM area with high-C capacitors and driver-MOSFETs, and looks to have some innovations such as right-angled 24-pin ATX power connector. Power, reset, and clear CMOS buttons are found at a place accessible to overclockers, so are some voltage measurement points. One can also see a heat pipe winding its way about into the frame on the top-left corner. That's about it with what we can tell from the picture.

Also the latency issues that result from dimm slots being further then others is solved by making the wires to the closer slot longer then they need to be. How ever slight it may be.
and I'm guessing that if the layout were to have 2 DIMM slots per CPU, the logical thing to do usually is to put the 2 pairs of slots next to each other like we see in some dual socket motherboards
