yes x48 should be higher binned but same chip
most should do it but needs better cooling on nb
gonna need 1.85v+ on nb to hit 600fsb
an you gonna need a special cpu lots cant do 500 lol

Just received mine :yepp: Rev. A000 (I preferred the A001 on X38's).
My NB HS didn't came mounted do, it came in little box exactly as the X38.
Under the sticker there is no X38 :rofl:
Now I'm waiting on the freaking NB block to fire it up.
wow that makes me nervous...
I hope mine doesn't get beat up enough that it's DOA.
The first thing I spotted was this:

X48 uses CH08 and X38 uses CH07 chip...
The code is what one would expect to see. It says the inductors on the X48 board were produced January 2008 and the ones on the X38 board were produced September 2007. The boards are the same down to the chipset (one is higher binned and labeled X48). The DDR3 version is where the changes will be.
im abit worried about the ,"need a special cpu lots cant do 500" How would a x6800 c2 perform with this board ? just curious. what kind of overclock could i expect ? im thinking if im going to be limiting myself with a x6800 it might be worth upgrading to a quadcore?
i want to see 45nm past the x38 fsb barrier on this board :D
Why they didn't change the pcb layout has they would do in T3R version?

The theory of a x38 board with a x48 sticker...
if they are electrically identical chips why change the pcb layout its a great layout, but the t3r looks worse off than the t2r
wow , id be interested to know how that thermalright works ? its like 2 inches from anything . is it even effective?
looks interesting though .
as i understand x48 ddr2 has same cooling as x38, only x48 ddr3 will be with thermalrights
hmm dude
check dfi website
theres 3 - x48's
1 LT - one ddr2
2 UT's - one DDR2 and one DDR3
this is not asus dude...
all the UT's get transpiper2.
LT's get that large cooler on NB, a passive heatsink on SB and PWM.
so theres 3 different boards..
i was wrong about there being a LT for DDR3.. looks like only UT for DDR3
but theres a UT for DDR2 also.
Working my way up on FSB.Currently at 515X9(e8400) at this moment.Love how this board recovers from operator error:up: .
Trying to find the correct gtl,NB and SB settings.Appears sensitive in those areas.Board will run fine(superpi 1m) with most settings at auto up to 470fsb for me.
Well for those whom are on Water Cooling the UT version means more trouble to uninstall the stock sinks...
About the P35 transpiper: anyone knows how tis the installation procedure? Does it uses those PWM screw holes in the X38 and X48?
I was wondering if installing just the transpiper is possible and is the PWM area could benefit from that as the rest of my system is on water...
