I need some answers (URGENT!)

[cyberspyder]

I'm not in the country right now, but my friend has asked me to buy some stuff for his SOLO.

1. Does the Thermalright Ultra 120 Xtreme fit on the DFI X38/P35 boards with a HR-05 on the NB? Or do I have to get the SLi version?
2. I know some people have fitted 120mm fans in the intake of the SOLO/P150 (instead of the 92mm fans). Is it recommended? Anything need modding/cutting?
3. 120mm fan intake in the 5.25" drivebays (SOLO), necessary, or not helpful at all?
4. How big of a difference (in terms of noise & airflow) is it if I don't remove the fan grill on the back?
5. Can I monitor and change fan speeds in the DFI BIOS, or do I have to do it manually every time I turn on my computer thru Speedfan?

the true fits the dfi x38 LT but u cant use a 2 fan config and have to have it blow vertically, and the dfi stock lt sink has the same tower as the thermalrite one so assume that its the same size but with a wider base on the stock

I was thinking more along the lines of this: if I had the TRUE blow horizontally (ie towards the rear exhaust), would the HR-05 fit in between the videocard and the TRUE? Are you positively sure that I can't have it blow horizontally?

BUMP: Spawne, here's the board:

teh true will clear the stock hs horizontally but the tower cooler on the hr05 is something that might interfere

WHat about teh SLi version?

[zanzabar]

the sli has a 90 degree so its more of a SB thing but it might fit, look at this one i think it will solve ur problem

Jing Ting JTS-0006 "Chipforce" Heatpipe Chipset Cooler (Out of Stock)

its out of stock and i have no clue were to get it but it will move to over your ram most likely

NVM, I'll give the HR-05 SLI a shot.

who ever heard of an extreme edition board that permanently enables C1E, and has issues overclocking 800mhz FSB processors?

IIRC, noone. :yepp:

im dumpin this piece of trash tomorrow, ordering a foxconn mars, 4 gigs of DDR2, and an extra hard drive, along with coolabs liquid pro.

I think the HR-05 SLi will fit with the TRUE in a horizontal pos.

The DS3R has an almost identical layout, see this:

vs. the DFI

Oh and BTW, good choice on the headphones...beyer rocks. Did you get an amp along with it?

nice find i might get that 05 for my x38 the stock one is good though, but the need of a fan on the NB is a concern


and not a good amp but my sba2 plat pro gets them loud enough for me at 80%, i think that the external box is louder than the back of the card also so it might have a crappy amp in it but i love them
