Dfi's new x48 model THE X48 DK T2RSB

Quote:

This model boards a 6 PHASE digital design and a removable northbridge. THis means that the northbridge can be changed for a water block WITHOUT having to source out the PWM heatsinks at the same time!

THe price of course will be a little more than the previous X48 T2RS and ofcourse it will be benched thoroughly by yours truly

Good to see DFI improving and innovating.

I'm loving that 6 phase digital PWM

seriously, i want a real picture of the board spec'd out above.

i thik that he wants naked picks

i wounder how 6phase digital tacks with 8phase analogue with quads i bet that its much better

Looks like an awesome board. For my Kentsfield I'm still glad I got the slightly better PWM on the "higher end" model, but this thing just looks great. I'm sure that for the price it will be one of the best boards around, assuming the prices aren't inflated by lack of supply.

ha a removable northbridge... next time u turn around western digital will release harddrives with removable platters, and intel will make CPUs will removable cache. or you know they will hire a translator...

digital pwms dont need to look like the LT/UT with the cpl chip thats the choke machism, look at foxconn they have digital that look like that

Weird, the DK X48-T2RSB PLUS is spec'ed as "Ultimate 4-phase digital PWM with 12 MOSFETs". The page has an bigger pic of this board.

Click "enlarge view".

Probably just an error, just pointing it out. Also, its listed as LANPARTY DK X48-T2RSB PLUS , so I was not 100% sure if its the same board or there is another version...Name difference and supposed pwm difference. But the board is identical in the pics anyway

Yeah that don't look like no 6-phase digital PWM to me. The DK series has always had low-end (4-phase) analogue PWMs.

Looks like it's a cheaper version of DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS, notice the lack of presence of the ferrite core inductors on the memory & northbridge phases and aluminum heatpipe. I don't see where DFI is going with this, just another BIOS for one man army to maintain, but it should be identical to T2RS.

Slightly more expensive than the current X48 DK? I think I'd pass if that's the case, as the current DK is only "marginally" cheaper than the LT (~30€) and UT (~50€) here in Germany/Europe.

Slightly OT, but does anyone know if the P45 DK will get the same treatment, beefier 6-phase PWM etc., with the "PLUS" version?

grrr.. the placement of the pci-e 1x slot is baaaad. well, bad for anyone with a pair of 2 slot video cards. ;) DFI has done this on all of their x48 boards.. grrr! I was going to get one but now I think I will get the Asus Rampage.. the layout on that board is so darn nice. :)

according to dfi's site there will be a plus version

Yep buddy

Boards will be delivered to enta end of this week-next week at the most in the UK first, I will check with DFI Max when hes online tomorrow to check availability for you in down under.

Incidently Dis, nice to see you again.

Any DFI questions I am your first port of call, as some of my feedback went into the design of some of these boards. So the T2RSB is kinda my baby! In addition alot of my suggestions went into ABS, in addition I helped with some of the bug testing on it.

my apologies for the image ,but this is part of the 'sales kit' for this board.

Yes it will, There will be a P45 T2RSB+ AND p45 dk t3rs, all im allowed to say, I am working on the design with DFI for the P45 T3RS at this moment in time. All I am allowed to say, NDA's and all that.

I cannot say for sure on the price, but I can find out for you, will let you know tomorrow 24/7/08

Exports are due next week according to sources at DFI. I know Enta in the UK getS them next week, so I presume the saMe time for you buddy! The board is physically ready!

In my opinion it corrects most of the issues with the X48 T2RS that I found in my review. Note I did not have much to do with the x48 T2RS, lol I cannot review a board that I had a hand in=conflict of interest.

What I actually had a hand in was developing an improved version of the X48TRS heat sink array and working on the ABS. Other than that thats it.

I should be getting a sample next week to check on, will let you know how it performs ASAP.

OH and you all heard it from me first.......... watch out for knock out bios from DFI for the P45 T2RS, Oscar and his team have been busy= 640FSB .....all im allowed to say until testing has been completed.

Funny you should mention this mate, just been looking at the box packaging today for this board and a few other stuff.

What I can say is the JNR is a 4-phase digital PWM but thats cool for a M-atx board. I have not had much to do with the design of the board itself, but I am hoping for a sample from DFI to test ASAP! Best guess for the p45 JNR is the next 2-3 weeks!

I can say without bias, the p45 JNR looks awesome for a M-ATX, looking forward to benching it myself, so if we combine the P45 DK JNR with the ABS it should be a winner!

I will be in touch with DFI again tomorrow, to chase up!

Any questions about forth coming boards please ask them here and I will chase up for you!

I cannot answer that bud, I concentrate on the Intel side!

I will have a word with Oscar Wu and Jarry tomorrow (Oscar does Bios, Jarry layout) to look into these issues

Let me first look into the x48 t2rsb plus and the p45 jnr more !

Hopefully I will have some decent images and will be allowed to publish full specs/packaging etc, but I cannot promise

I am interested to hear about this p45 dk bios doing 640x6fsb!

Will have full details tomorrow hopefully

yes pricing please.

and a P45 mATX board holy frackin crap, please pass the gravy!!

its about time someone did an mATX board with a real fracking chipset instead of some half backed half a$$ chipset.

thank god DFI...

technically, since its just a smaller board and pretty much looks like its big brother the T2RB there should be almost identical overclocking... oh wait... i'm dreaming again... well... i can dream cant I ?

not really mate

THE x48 I got 484x9.5 out of it on a 8500 wolfie
THe P45 T2RS I have 490x9.5 and since they are both 4-phase digital then possibly the will OC the same, will let you know as soon as I have one.

Oh and even the cooling is much the same, it seems the only differnce is lack of the extra PCI sockets.

It really is a fantastic board though. It was fairly cheap (£70) and I've run it for 18 hours a day for 6 months without and stablility issues. It has all the ports I need and very easily holds my requred 400mhz FSB...

I wish it had one of its PCIEx1 on the other side of the X16 though..

cheers dan, the lads at dfi have been working hard on this bios!

Ok any future DFI releases you will hear from me first.

Just to let you know

next major p45 release will be the DDR3 version, but I am not sure on the release date of this, however Jarry and I are working on the design.

DFI LP P45 DK T3RS

anyone know where i can purchase any water cooled PWM blocks for the DFI x48/p45 DK chipsets! Mounting holes are exactly the same on both chipsets. Cannot for the life of me find water blocks for the PWM's

Suggestions anyone please?

Watercool Heatkiller SW-16 or a MIPS Freezer.

Both are available from their online stores.

EDIT:

I'm daft. DK series is different =__+

Sorry mate. They might have something for the DK series. I'm sure I saw someone in the Water Cooled Rig Gallery with a MIPS set for their DK X38.

HaVENt tested with quads as of yet, I only have a 8500 wolfie cpu to test.......intel are notorious for being tight and not sending out samples to people such as myself!

DFI and myself are working hard on the p45 dk T3RS as of this moment in time, so I have not had much of a chance to get up to speed with the 790chipset. Will find out today and let you know!

Didn't know that DFI had an office in the Netherlands? It's extremely difficult to get a DFI mobo in the Netherlands, let alone a new model. There's one shop in whole of Holand who sells DFI. And the choice is limited to the X38 LT and the ICFX-3200, that's it! just those two.:mad::down:
Hell, you can't even get an AMD board, only intel.
I'm really surprised that your getting the DK X48 plus from DFI NL.
(My last three DFI board's all come from a webshop in Germany Trend4pc)

I await those benchmarks with much anticipation :)

Yup DFI haVE a registered office there:- tech as well as distrubtion!

However all my dealings (apart from boards being shipped to me) with DFI with Tiawan (HQ). For example when I was lending a hand in developing and bug testing the ABS system.

Non plus has changed alot with the new bios, in addition the non plus oc results can be fixed by messing with the cpu clock skews

"Lending a hand with the ABS system..." Sounds like you have a very cool job :cool:

Mate i actually work for a college in the uk, but after winning the abit uk oc championship of 2006 along with johnny bravo, I got into m/b design, my speciality is thermal design and board layout.

The design that was going to be used for the abit x48 max was based apon my feedback.

Whilst I do not WORK FOR DFI I work with them, in the interest of pushing technology forward.

The DFI abs was in a small way part my idea in addition to the removable Northbridge on the t2rsb+. DFI in no way pay me any monies at all, as I wish to keep my objective view. However on the boards that I have had little or no influence upon I review (I Cannot exactly review a board I have worked upon can I?). I work with DFI; my function is to continuously push DFI to think in creative ways to improve their boards, with creative ideas of my own. As a rewards DFI afford me with some trust such as design specs, being able to participate with Oscar and Jarry etc

So in essence the improvement of the x48t2rsb+ is in part based upon my feedback and adVice given to DFI (ABOUT being able to remove the MCH block without removing the PWM blocks as well)

So in essence I openly admit there is a connection between myself and DFI, but rather its a connection that has been earned!

So in essence any DFI info that does not go against my NDA with DFI I will be happy to share and help anyone here!
