**Official DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

much obliged, praz
put a 6750 in and booted fine, only with 1 stick o f ram tho
but after an update took the 8500 n the second ram.
a happy bunny here

a lesson 4 the future - buying a wolfdale for the t2r - have an older processor handy.
cheers guys

That should be the case with every upgrade, not only with this one. You should always have some sort of a backup..it would be unwise not to.

I have replaced the OEM heat pipe assembly on my motherboard with a Enzotech Sapphire SLI water cooled NB block and an Enzotech SLF-1 solid copper SB heatsink with fan. I have also modified a Thermalright HR-09 U MOSFET Cooler to mount over where the factory had an aluminum block (I believe this is the PWM area). I cut out the thermal tape as per Praz's suggestion in another post, and then used Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste on the raised components, before mounting the MOSFET cooler to the motherboard through the OEM holes in motherboard.

Also note, those two long chips that were inset on the MB from the aluminum block are being cooled with Swiftech MC 14 copper ram sinks, so that should help. Also, I have two 120 mm Yate Loon Fans directing cool air in from the top of my case (across MOSFET cooler, CPU and NB water blocks, and memory slots), and a 120 mm Scythe SFlex SFF21E fan exhausting air just above where the MOSFET cooler and exposed resistors are located.

I believe this setup will cool very well, but there were a couple small items that were under the OEM aluminum block that are no longer covered. I believe they are resistors, but am not certain. My question is this, do I need a heat sink over the couple of resistors which are now open to the air (used to be covered by the aluminum block on top left corner of MB), or will my current air cooling suffice?

i dont know if this has been covered or not , but this thread is way to long for me to check.
just wanted to know if the X38-T2R has any issues with crucial ballistix 1066 ? its not listed as compatible ram on there site .im about to order this board tonight.
thanks adya

do you mean the UT-P35 T2R? ;)

I ran my Ballistix 8500's at 600mhz 5-5-5-15 with 2.1v for months no problems.

Could you show us a picture of this? I am curious to see what Praz was talking about.
thanks :)

no i just bought a LT X38-T2R on dfi's website it mentions compatible ram and crucials aint in the list . iknow some boards have issues with crucial ballistix so i am abit worried about wether it runs crucials ddr21066 with no issues.

edit* hahah soz i didnt relize i was on the wrong thread . thought i read x38t2r ill post somewhere else b4 i get into trouble.

Fair enough, but you should be asking that in the DFI X38 thread :)

Edit: hehe NP mate

I dunno, Crucial isn't on the P35 list either. I wouldn't worry about it.

I second that, would love to see some pictures of the cooling mods you have done!

How lame is the sticker on the NB saying void if removed. Ugh :rolleyes:

I have my Q6600 running at 24/7 voltages at 3.9, and I noticed a high pitch whine from the board, probably the PWMS. I stuck some ram sinks on the chips infront of the PWM heatsink, and I am ordering a 40mm fan for the PWM HS, but is there any way to get rid of the whine (other than lowering the speed)?

On a side note, it seems that a single MCR320 isn't enough for my system anymore. Time to add more radiators to my small P182 :(

I'd like some pics as well. BTW kberguy I wouldn't worry about the exposed resistors. As long as your air cooling isn't craptastic, they should be fine.

And yeah, that NB sticker... laaaaaaame :rofl:

I think you'll be fine there. If i remember correctly the stock heatsink only made contact with the PWM anyway.

What do you mean Crucial is not on the LP P35 list?:confused:

Hey guys I am having trouble getting my e8400 over 4.1 ghz stable. I have vcore set to 1.37 in bios, and I am a little worried about going higher.
Temps through coretemp register at about 67c @load.
Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Do you have the latest beta bios and have you played with the GTL settings in the bios?

Seems outdated and incomplete...oh well.

Yes, i've looked it myself now, cheers.:up:

I have bios 2/14 and I have the GTL's set at 60 each, really don't know where to go from there.

What's your VTT voltage and your's cpu vid?

FPO/batch # & pack date?
some Wolfies can't even get 4ghz at 1.4v stable in ANY board... it depends on the chip you have

guys what's the difference between these?

• Intel ICH9R chip (SATA 1-6)
- SATA speed up to 3Gb/s
- RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5
• JMicron JMB363 (SATA 7-8)
- SATA speed up to 3Gb/s
- RAID 0 and RAID 1

coz i was thinking of adding more hard drives (no RAID in mind atm)..
& which slot is best for optical drives?
Thanks :)
