It does! From the manufacturer's page - EVGA | Articles | EVGA Classified Super Record 2

@OP: I am surprised you did not come across the board before? I think several guys at XS have been using this board for some extreme benching alongside the Gigabyte X58 UD9.

Yups...! Another rock star for sure -- Gigabyte X58 UD9.

Newegg.com - EVGA Classified SR-2 (Super Record 2) 270-WS-W555-A1 LGA 1366 Intel 5520 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HPTX Intel Motherboard

Retails for nearly 30k at newegg.IMHO better than Asus Formula/Rampage boards that retails for similar prices here.

What the hell are all you noobs smoking ?

UD9 R3E Classi all run different chips , this is only compatible with a handful of xeons. This is a totally different board really cant compare with anything else except stuff from supermicro.

Its not that we are directly comparing the UD9 to the SR-2. It is obvious to all, that the SR-2 needs Xeon cores only since it requires 2x QPI connections. Enthusiasts just like to compare stuff. Doubt any one smokes up and comes to a forum...! Why..?

I beg to differ....That motherboard looks pretty trippy.
