I appreciate your input zsamz_,I will not change the NB cooler after hearing this stuff.I am now looking for a PWM cooler and a SB cooler.Any recommendations?The CPU cooler will be a TR Ultra Extreme.

SO guys, for the DDR2 range from DFI, the DFI X48 UT T2R will be the most dominate one?
Probably not. I think most will go for the the LT since they will most likely WC it. I don't see the need to use it for aircooling either. Unless i'm mistaken, it's the same mb with heatpipes instead of individual heatsinks.Quote:

I got a Q9450 from Tank guys as well but it's defective...one of the cores keeps on crashing when I stress it...this is all at stock speeds and volts...I've sent them an E-Mail about it and they seem to be ignoring me. The temps on this CPu are all over the place too...I see it idle at 27c sometimes and then at other times it's idling at 46c.Quote:

Bottom is not so clean and flat... but it's still worth buying :)Quote:

I'm still having issues with my board when applying more than 1.26v to the proc. The thing just shuts down and refuses to reboot. I hope they figure this problem out soon because it's really tainting my opinion of this board.
If anyone else is having this issue you might wanna stop by and check out the thread here: http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6175
Here is also a video that someone posted on how the board acts when this happens: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=260fp8i&s=3
ooo-kay guys. I just ordered this board to replace my crappy nvidia 650i board. Last DFI board I owned was the nf4 SLI-DR, that thing was a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to work with. Hope they've improved from those days :)
How much all those blocks run you clone38? They look nice..
Thanks again for your help.Can you make a photo please with the modifications for the PWM cooler?I am interested to see those springs you talk about.Thanks in advance.Quote:

Be a shame to return the CPU and find it ok.Quote:

I didn't lap mine but took it off, scraped all the crap off and reseated it with some TIM that came with my TRUE. It was the only stuff I had that was 100% nonconductive. I don't have a temp probe on the area but it's always cool to warm to the touch.Quote:
