can fit the original NB cooler in the SB ? t will not run into if I have one 3870x2 ?
Does the transpiper fit on this motherboard?
yes, all motherboards with that pwm sink have the gap in the moddle support the transpiper
any idea when the UT version will be available to buy?
I have this memory (G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5) have the DFI LT X48 on order will this memory be ok can't find any info on what chips it's using.......I'm a newbie at this so expect lot's of silly questions :D
man the DFI's X48 really looks awesome...but i wonder if i should give up my P35 to get the X48. i'm just running a single card tho...
I sent an email to DFI about when the FK version would be available. Got a reply today.
"Dear Customer,
The first output will be arrived on early April. Please search www.Newegg.com for availability.
Thanks
DFI San Jose"
No. The DFIŽ LanParty UT & LT P35 boards are aurguably the best performing boards available. The P35 chipset clocks higher and scores higher or near same as x38 or x48 in memory & cpu benchmarks. Only reason to buy x38 or x48 is to run crossfire.Quote:

i have the latest UT P35 AB0 Revision & has better memory handling than my previous revision. it could run my faulty mem @ 1.9v :D
on previous board it need's 2.55-2.6v to run that memory.
what is better for quads,especially QX9650?The X48 or the P35?
P35 chipset would be the better to get in single card, but you are overseeing one key point that P35 is PCI-E gen1... with new faster cards such as the 9800GX2 using PCI-E gen 2 needing more bandwidth etcQuote:

my Q6600 could run 480fsb on UT P35 :D
Anyone using an Areca 1210 (or similar) type of raid card in the 2nd pci-express 16x 2.0 slot with success? If so, I might give this board a shot...
Hey guys, thought you might be interested in knowing that a new BIOS has been released for this board.
Link
Can anyone give us some photos with the X48 mobo and the Transpiper 1.0 installed?Maybe the Transpiper 2.0?
Any news when the UT will be launched?I'm interested only in the DDR2 version
So whats everyones thoughts? Should i go the x38 or the x48? im not looking at OCing (much....), or should i go with a 780/790i? Im just looking for a decent high end MOBO....
Thanks.
Keep in mind the 790i only supports DDR3, the 780i supports DDR2. This particular DFI board supports DDR2. The DDR3 version is yet to be released. The cost difference is very significant, so keep that in mind.Quote:

If SLI doesn't matter I'd go for the X48 over the X38 just as a preference. I'm real happy with DFI's P35 though.
If you really don't want to overclock, I'd wait for the DK version of the X48 board. If you are not going to use CrossFire, I'd suggest getting the DK version of the P35 board. You'll save a lot of money and get an awesome board.Quote:

More to come :D Hope to put it under cascade ASAP.

The only problem I have had is that I can't install Vista (32 or 64) with any bios newer then 11/07. Of course this may have absolutely nothing to do with the QX9650, it's a pain though. I can install newer BIOS after Vista is installed.Quote:

Stock NB cooler.
Done:D .
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...otos/505x6.jpg
nice!
did you tried 500mhz fsb ???
Do you think all X48-TR2 Board get max fsb around 490mhz???
Im am not sure now which Mainbaord I should buy!!! I plan to buy the new q9450 and now I am looking for a nice OC Board.
I got this board (LT X48) today in the mail from MotherBoardPro and everything looks fine except the NB cooler. It is clearly used as it wasn't in plastic wrap and already had the fan clips attached. In additions, the bottom (copper that touches NB) had some form of corrosion or something... I cleaned it with a T-Shirt and Isopropyl alcohol, but it still looks ugly on the bottom. I mounted it all the same with MX-2 and hopefully it won't affect the temps.
I still think it's rather unprofessional of DFI to include a used and clearly damaged (perhaps only aesthetically) NB cooler with a $300 X48 motherboard. Frankly, I probably won't buy DFI ever again.
In addition, I noticed when looking at the NB cooler from the side that the heatpipe+fins were off center a bit, hanging if you will towards the other side. I gently applied pressure the opposite way and got it to slide back into the straight up 90 degree position.
Is the heatpipe supposed to be able to turn like this? I'd assume it would be soldered in and couldn't move... Unless somehow I managed to bend it with very little force...
New screen shot.Post #226.This motherboard owns quad cores.Will not push max FSB any further until i install MCW30 on NB.:woot:Quote:

Anyone using the Onboard Sound, ie; Berstein module and running at 500 fsb or over without probs?
Reason I ask, is that I can run 10kfft's and blend til the cows come home at 8.5x500, but Gaming?? Uh Uh :( I thought maybe it was my 2x2gb g.skill pc8000, but they ran fine with same speeds on my P35 DFI board.
Also lowered the clocks on my vid and dropped AF to nadda, same thing. Any input appreciated.
Larry
soundcard.
i have a sound card, u might want to up the SB voltage thats what the sound, SB and jmicron useQuote:

The sound out of the onboard is surprisingly good, well, compared to the TBSC anyhow :D
Thanks for the replys :)

-the stock X48 NB cooler is made by Thermalright or DFI?Is it efficient under overclocking?
-if it is not with what should I change it?
-also,the SB does or does not need extra cooling on this particular motherboard?
Jor3lBR,I really like your solution with the extra copper cooling on all remaining transistors
this is a common error ppl make on x38 overclockingQuote:

The website doesn't specifically mention the X48 board but rather the X38 board but since the configurations are exact, I'm thinking I won't have problems putting it on. Has anyone used the above mentioned heatsink on their X38 or X48 Lanparties?
Are you sure MotherboardPro didn't resell the mobo?Quote:

And no plastic packaging on my NB sink either.Quote:

Unless you have about 3 inches of top clearance from the edge of your motherboard and the top of the case ... it's too tight of a fit ... I have the Antec P182 and with my X38 board and the ThermalRight IFX-14 and its backplate (similar design) it would NOT fit!!
Did someone has the new Q9450 CPU??? Would be interesting how OC on the DFI x48 works with them!!
@ Forsaken1:
did you get FSB 500x 8 stable for some hours??
Rebel2k,did not run orthos/prime on that oc.Will try and run it by this weekend.There are alot of eager people wanting to see what this board can do with a 45nm quad.I just posted to show it will be possible to run 500x8 with similar setup to mine.Note ymmv.This Q6600 is average at best.Quote:

Got my board today aswell. Did a quick check and i got 505 MHz FSB on my E8500. And that was with 1,55V NB. I havent been able to test mutch more.
By the way. Im trying to get my new Dominator 8500 2Gb sticks, to work. They are running good now but there are so damn many timings in teh BIOS to set. Anyone have any tip on what timings i should use?
mine arrived today also. ordered enzo stuff for southbridge and mos, plus cleaning my DD block for the NB.
It should go under water next week when the Q9450
arrives....:woot:
What BIOS settings are you guys using for x3350s? Im having trouble getting to 3.6ghz, but im not very experienced. still not sure what GTL means.
using 4GB Mushkin Ram
and x48-t2r
wasup ! what think to put some this in the CPL chips ?
Code:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108094
Seams like my gamble didn't pay off.
Finally fired the X48 today and out of the box with same settings as X38 (low volts Q6600@3600Mhz and DDR2 @1200) the mobo doesn't boot at all with my 4 vs 1gb sticks of Ballistix...
Tried a couple of different things raising volts but it's a no go. When it boot's it freezes on Windows Screen or Memtest loading dos screen. Looks like it can't handle 4 sticks at that speed at all.
I get lots of frozen bios screen when hitting Del to get into bios (black screen with a small blue stripe on the bottom) and sometimes funny noise with a biosprotect error, detecting drive a to flash etc...:shrug:
So I took 2 sticks out and board works normally with any combination of the 4 but only if using them in single pairs (all the sticks are fine)...

I love the Diagnostics LED! Tells you exactly what the machine is doing.
I had a funny moment when it read, "FF" I was like -- 'Oh shiz! What's wrong?!'. Looked up the codes online and it means 'posting' :ROTF:
So I finally worked it out, I couldnt boot in at 3.6 for the life of me, I thought it was my Ram, but i didnt realize NB voltage needed to be so high in order to get high fsb. Now I'm purring along at my goal of 3.6.
Screenshot:

Now I need to tone down my voltages on everything that doesnt need it. And tighten up my memory.
Still a lot of work to do... Learning all the stuff in the bios...
400x8 with everything stock and auto.
450x8 posts... starts loading windows and crashes. vcore 1.3, nb 1.5...
Since i've been reading about the settings in my bios this morning I apparently need to disable the power saving features of the chip and i might be able to get into windows @ 450x8. The goal is still 4ghz.
Didn't have much time to play with it last night took awhile to get everything in my case... The IFX-14 barely fits and I couldn't get the HR-05 SLI/IFX to fit on my SB.
More to come tonight.
You don't have to disable the power saving features, I have all that enabled in the bios and im doing 3.6 just fine. I think if you are going all out on your overclock you would want that disabled, but for casual everyday use at a decent overclock, you can let your cpu cool down a bit every once in a while and get some power savings too.Quote:

I am down to one stick and I can get into windows but forget about trying a fresh install. Just BSOD on me. I also think its a possibility my board is not a good one. First off my battery was crap.

Ok, So I didnt throw up pictures yet of the x48-t2r and how it comes all packaged and such.

Hope these pictures are good for reference, if it is too much, let me know.
Got mine yesturday, BIOS options are amazing (have had ASUS, Abit, Gigabyte, and Intel 925XE, 955X, 975X, P965, P35) compared to other motherboards I have used.
My X48 chip says:
NU82X48
SLASF
L746A792
Intel 07
Board seemed to be all new and not tampered with. The NB heatsink did have a "rainbow" stain on the bottom, but I think that is caused by the production process.
cbutters -- OMG your rig is VERY similar to mine!
I have it setup in the same manner. ~Seasonic PSU, x3350, x48T2R, 8800GT, TRUE, P180, and all!
I'm using a Scythe 3000RPM 120x38 mm fan on the TRUE, though. I also placed an Accelero S1 rev2 w/ another 3000RPM 120x38 mm
(sounds like a jet in my home :ROTF:)
My NB cooler came with that exact fingerprint too. Mischevious person put their fingerprint in the mold, maybe?
Thanks for the idea to place a fan before the HDDs. I removed the divider in the middle, BTW.

I couldn't go any higher at this voltage.
I've also done a DFI BIOS guide that might help a few people. :)
Humm so how come my Gtl's are off if 0.69x1.26v(my actual vtt volts) equals 87-88??Quote:

Your method of computing GTL values is close. Depending on component tolerances you will be within +/-5.Quote:

Theres a few places in the UK with stock on the way for sure. Scan has stock.
Vey nice Clunk.Just a short run here on Q9450.450x8.

1,5vX.69=103 you got 96 nb gtlQuote:

Not to argue, but it is my understanding that both the CPU and NB GTL settings are a % of the VTT. Is that not correct?Quote:

I see what you mean Sam:Quote:

The original way of making those calcs are always to use VTT as reference in percentage, like Praz said. So all variables must come from VTT and none from VNB (so always apply 0.69*VTT voltage for CPU GTL and NB GTL) - it's strange I know :shrug:
But for some like you seams to be the case that a stray NB GTL works better.
I will try both ways and see if I can get those 4 sticks running 1200Mhz 2.1v again.
yup thats how i do it works for me maybe i'm wrongQuote:

edit: you right i messed up all gtl is related to cpu vtt pl voltage
back to drawing board for me i be makin some new tests
maybe i pass 555fsb lol
but funny how my settings workin for me
From page 24 of the X38 datasheet.
As it pertains to the chipset in this intance VTT is taken from the same source that supplies the processor.Quote:
Note: Unless otherwise noted, the voltage level for all signals
in this interface is tied to the termination voltage of the Host Bus (VTT).
From page 284 of the same datasheet.

Notice inside the red boxes? 0.666xVTT_FSB. Northbridge GTLREF is set from VTT.
When it's all said and done all that really matters is one comes up with settings that work.
Guys I think I screwed up: I bought ram too slow for my goals. For some reason the only factor I weighed once the 2 diff ram types were in my newegg basket was price. I bought 8GB (2x2x2) of DDR800. Instead of the 1066
Right now I'm at 1.2vcore 3.2Ghz (all else stock; vcore could be potentially less)
I tried to isolate the ram and couldn't go much further than 800Mhz.
When doing 901 (for 3.6Ghz), I gave the NB 1.4 and the ram 2.25v (6x multi) and boot process gets hung @ first prompt. I've gotten REALLY rusty -- any ideas on where to go next? I would apprecite a good plan of attack to see if it really is my ram
Thanks
Have you tried loosening your ram timings? That should get you higher clocks. If I may ask, what are the rated default timings and voltage for your ram at 800 mhz?Quote:

I'm going to turn in, though -- enough for today. 3.2Ghz stable @ 1.18vcore all else stock -- not bad:D
QUICK EDIT:
I tried 450 FSB; NB:1.5v; 5-5-5-15 @901mhz ram...any suggestions on some timings? I'm thinking 2.20vdimm cos of all the ram?
I just got my system built this afternoon with an E3110 and i'm posting 9x445 (4005) at stock volts right now but i have yet to run any real tests. I'll report back tomorrow with some real results if time permits.
change your trfc to 42 then try, and use teh voltage with an actual voltage as close to 2.1 as u can getQuote:

Does this problem dissapear when you mount a Noctua U6 NB cooler,if you have a TR 120 Ultra Extreme?
Sorry its of topic but what are considered good waffer numbers for the Q9450/X3350.Quote:

Hey, for some reason when I have Logitech Setpoint set to it's own mouse driver as opposed to "OS's" I get complete system freezes when left clicking from time to time. I have to hard shut down when this happens.
Only component I've changed today has been the motherboard and PSU, this mouse worked fine before. Issue with X48? Or what?
Anyone else with a Logitech G5 mouse (or other I guess) had this issue?
no idea why u guys running so high for 1600fsb at those nb voltages
here is mine
everything at stock
just increased the fsb to 400 .. rest all at default
