Praz would know the GTL ref's.I stay within 63-68,at this time.It sure does lower the amount of set volt's in bios needed to get job done.Quote:

Ace76,will do in near future.Anyone have bios template?Or a link to program to recover bios setting's and post.There's a program out there to do this,cannot find it in my bookmarks.
Going past 530FSB is slow going.
has anyone tested yet this board with Quads?
Can you mount a transpiper on this motherboard?
wasup , maybe change my asus p5e for a dfi lt x48 , but my question is, what memory is the best for this mobo :confused: the specs only support 800mhz, what happen with if hay put other speed :confused: i have now crucials 4 x 1gb 1066mhz, finding some good memory on the sites, see this ocz
what you think of this memo :confused: is compatible with this mobo :confused: and is necessary to change change the south-bridge cooler :confused: for some thermalright :shrug:Code:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227277
Thanks for the heads up pauldovi, just ordered one :)

i found this on the dfi site , x48 DK :confused: anyone have some info or pics about it ...
Code:http://www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=5918&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP%20DK&SITE=NA
Damn that's the board for me, like the colors more (assuming its black PCB and bright orange för slots like the rest od the DK boards) and the LT and UT versions are a bit pricey for me as I have to import from the states. I hope its going to be out soon!Quote:

there is a gain is xfire and probly future cards (pci-e2.0 with 216x slots) and it has better memory performance at low latency or high speeds
question again XD someone know if this OCZ ReaperX 1000mhz CAS 5.5.5.18 is compatible with this mobo ?

not worth it only thing i see better is crossfire n pcie-2.0Quote:

on another note anyone get past 555fsb
this board loves powerchips n d9gmh stay away from d9gkxQuote:

Been working on my OC, starting to get the board figured out.

VTT is 1.104 set in bios but shows 1.12 in bios, 1.1v in SG. Gtl's= 70/69/70, still toying with them tho.
Larry
they dont make the x38 anymore and they are the same price so i would go x48 as of now but not upgrade from x38 to x48 (but the bios for x48 here i come)Quote:

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.

Great I'll be looking forward to seeing what you can make of the board.Quote:

i heard it works fine with the latest revision & better psu :)Quote:

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:

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:

MOBO: thinking about
CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600
PSU: CoolerMaster Real Power M850 Modular
Cooling: Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra Watercooling Kit
GPU: Was wanting to SLI XFX GeForce 9600GT 512MB
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 (2x1GB) 5-5-5-12
Case: Silverstone TJ-07 with window in the black. (already purchased and is on the way)
This is going to be my first build so any suggestions would be appreciated.

C-N,all voltages untweaked.Raise and pray:ROTF: .
GTL ref's disabled also.
@Forsaken
That looks lovely! And the temps are so low :ROTF:
Looking forward to set my system up and running I have a Q6600 also :up:

Meanwhile some pics of my X48 setup with the Inferno-FX10 - Dtek Fuzion - Danger Den (perfect fit) - SB SLF1 and MOSC1 from Enzotec: :D

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 :)
Larry
-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:
