i used mx-2 on all of the componants on my board so tx-2 should be fine since they are the same compoundQuote:

I will buy the Watercool Heatkiller I have a report from Dimek that the MIPS has a 'tiny' project fault: they made the thing with a extra surface to 'try' to cool the CPL's also :rofl: and that made the temps fly in the sky. So if you use Mips for Mosfets you better off with nothing or using a diferent loop for that.
The Watercool looks like this:

It costs EU29,99 +(tax) and was made exclusively for the X38, X48 and P35 version so it wont touch the CPL's...
if u dont have a backplate for your spu when u redo the paste then u will get higher temps, if u have a good backplate then u wont get bowing so u wont have anything to worry about
Maybe you right - backplate would be nice, but IMHO it will not solve MIPS's "CPLs problem"... It does not refer to Watercool Heatkiller as it does not cover CPLs...Quote:

Don't know if TX-2 is 100% nonconductive but it is suspicious if it's grey and is compared to AS5. You'll need something nonconductive since there are LOTS of bare metal protrusions around this area, sorry for the technical terms:D . I only put paste on the the chips that were previously covered. My thought process was that the HS didn't appear to touch anything else, so why bother. If someone can confirm that it actually does touch some of the other chips under there, i'd redo it.Quote:

ughh... can you explain it again for me? What is an CPL? Is it the same like mosfet? I am planning to buy the DFI X48 and the complete MIPS DFI x38/x48 Mainbaord Set. Did I understand you right that the MIPS mosfet heatsink is not cooling very good? :eek:Quote:

No they are excellent but I wouldn't use the Mosfet Freezer in the same loop as the CPU (if it's a hot 65nm cpu or you planning to run it extreme oc style).Quote:

And those things really are supposed to get hot.
But unfortunately for us in US Mips is the only option for water cooling that area. Watercool won't ship o US :(
I think it's ok to cool them with a heatsink (but dunno if you would benefit in doing that because they are made to endure the heat), I only don't like the idea of a watercoolling block touch that area too.Quote:

somebody knows the measurement exact of this area ?

I'm thinkin' put of these microcool heatsinks in cpl chips 'n this area of cooler to help to cool the pwm chips !
this mofset cooler as not cooling Very well?, maybe need a buy better mofset cooling? or stock its engood?
i find the 3dmark06 scores for this board simply amazing
basically
maximus 3800mhz 400x9.5 = 3482
this board 3800mhz 400x9.5 = 3515
tested it 3 times.. and always get the same result..
on vista ultimate sp1 64bit.
Hi all ive just got my dfi lt x48 up and running and would like to know if these temps are ok for my system running with the settings in my sig.
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ls07/temps.jpg
Also is the system temp the pwm temps???
Cheers Paul
Well i guess it is as ive just put a fan over it and its now @ 39
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ls07/temp2.jpg
yes the system temp is the pwm temp
How is everyone getting active cooling to their PWM block, besides water? I have the TRUE so space is somewhat limited but i'd like to get some airflow through there. It's not hot down there but every little bit helps.

I think my board is toast. The code on the LCDs is 88 and never changes at all. I've tried the EZ cmos clear and tried to manually do it with the jumper about 10 x now and nothing.
I'm one of the few that is not able to get the board to post with more than 1.26v to the cpu and this is with different cpus mind you. I thought to myself maybe there's a dead spot or something so i turned it up to 1.4 in the bios and it hasn't booted since.
sigh...
pnot , Send me a PM I know how to fix that Issue.. I had the same problem
Hi m8 i also used mx-2 on the pwn/nb and cpu, is there any chance you can give me your pwm temps at load and idle or do you know what the safe temp range is.Quote:

And my pwm temps are now at 37 idle

hi guys, I ordered this mobo (LT version) which should arrive any day plus I bought already the CPU which is an Intel Q9450, my question is which brand/model of RAM do you suggest me to buy since my plan is to go for 8GB RAM, and I am willing to OC the cpu aswell, any tips is welcome, thanks in advance.
Hey all, I have a P35 T2R, and tbh im pretty happy with it, but ive seen these (LT version) pretty cheap, and seeing as I always love new hardware to fiddle with i just wanted to know how they compare?
Is it worth giving it a shot. It should cost me too much after selling my P35. Also, seeing as I'd be getting the LT version, I may well watercool the NB. Would an MCW30 fit on there ok?
Thanks Wilson, are those 25's or 30's? How exactly are they attatched? I see the black zipties holding the inside ends together and the white ones with the female end sticking out. Did you use another female end to cinch it up on the back side of the case?

Here's mine with the DangerDen MPC Universal, temps never higher then 34oC (Prime95) on full load 4000Mhz Quad (inside a closed case):Quote:

Can I get a definitive clarification on the temp readings in SG? Chipset=NB or SB and System temp=PWM or a sensor near there?
