i had to bend the NB sink/pipes back a bit so it doesnt push on the 120. VERY tight....but it "just" worked.Quote:

Nice temps, m8 :up: . Feel lucky that you've had no issues with that contact... you may want to think about bending the fins.Quote:

Should I buy the ut p35-t2r instead. Will I see any better overclocking with the x38 for the e8400, or will the p35-t2r suffice?
I'm having trouble every time i completely disharge power from electricity computer refuses to boot it just keep power on n off repeatly,i have to clear cmos to load last working bios config.But after if i keep the eletricity on it have no booting problenm,anybody know the solution?.So it only occur if i competey cut power to my comp.
more will be in this week at motherboard pro but imo i would get in on the pre order if you really want one last time they went as fast as they got them

The P35 should suffice, but I don't see any reason why you shouldn't wait a week or two and see if you can get your hands on an X38 instead.Quote:

Newegg actually wiped the listing off their site, its a "deactivated item".
no need to bend fins lol my true is facing up i got an exhaust on top too lolQuote:

gonna mod it for the pwm soon:D
You surely got a large exhaust on top of your case haha.
I not sure whether can I mount it horizontally or not, my case doesn't have that large exhause on top. Can only depend on the PSU exhaust.
Corsair hx620w ran out of stock everywhere, If I get PC&C then no exhaust on top already.
How you gonna mount HR-05 SLI anyway? After you mount please post a photo :yepp:
So it's possible to use the HR-05 SLI for the NB??
for someone mine wont oc anymore pass what i saved on the cmos about a month ago
no matter how much voltage i give it, it wont oc even 1mhz extra,
has anyone else experience this?
Yes, for some reason or "Current" config changes the board looses the ability to maintain the OC. Dunno why but that's that. I have to clear CMOS every weak to get it to run my OC without giving more volts.Quote:

So much for almost $300...
what bios are you guys using?
My bios ver is on my sig. I'm using latest 1-11.Quote:

its not weird, the board has gimpy dividers.
Which bios, i assume you meant 266/666 4:5 not 333/600 ??? 4:5 operates on 266 fsb strap which is tighter than 2:3 and 5:6. Prior to 12/28 beta bios 4:5 and 5:8 and 3:5 was very unstable but 12/28 beta bios fixed 4:5 and 5:8 divider so that 4:5 is working up to ~440FSB http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?p=82600#post82600Quote:

If you're using 4x1GB and 4:5 divider then I can imagine how much stress is on NB with how tightly set that strap is.
DFI said 4:5 and 3:5 divider stability issues aren't just on DFI X38 but exist on other brand X38 chipset boards too apparently i.e. Asus X38. I know Gigabyte X38-DQ6 had similar issue with several dividers messed up.
Strange my Asus P35 chipset boards didn't have such issue on 4:5.
sorry mate i meant the 333/667 strap bios 1/11Quote:
