Humm not that this make any difference but does the Swifech MCW30 cover the hole surface of the x38 chipset?

Well anything that covers at least 50% will do better then the original DFI NB cooler I could barely cover 35% using any type of installation, I probably got a defective peace.. .

I'm moving on to water on NB's too...

the chip is 10% larger than the p35 it just has an ihs on it so it dont have to cover the whole thing just the middle

DFI Original Cooler Spring/HardMounted

See what I mean: :down:

Probably they made the X48 chipset flatter :-)

Hm, for cooling NB Ive found that my previous EK Asus 1 block covers NB just ideally. Only problem is that mounting holes don't much, so I make mounting plate for it (similar as D-Tek Fuzion).
And for SB I'll use Enzo CNB S1-L, fully passive without fun.
Thx to all for advices.

anyone tested TR 05 SLI or non-SLI on the NB? Is it even possible?

I have spent several hours making custom plate for NB from peace of aluminium, and now I have EK Asus block sitting perfectly and covering 100% heatsink (have to polish it though, to get look like D-Tek plate)

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7226/img22412bw3.jpg

But let me annoy u and ask last time about SB :)
Will be Enzo block CNB S1L (without fan) enough for SB cooling? Or should I get MCW-30?
I just dont want to use a fan, or huge heatsink like Thermalright 05 becoz of some austethic reasons.
So ENZO CNB or waterblock?

Thx again

oh yeah, this is question i thought many times about. those plate costs just cents, and could be made in less than hour even without automatic instruments.
but capitalists, they force us pay more, buy more :cord:

Is the audio driver on DFI's website the only one that can be used, or can you just use the Realtek HD Audio codec? I only ask because Realtek updates their driver much more frequently.

Also, what's the latest beta bios for the LT X38 and where could I find it?

So, Oskar really hasn't released anything for the board since? What happened to the days of tons of beta bios releases?

I think mbpro start shipping them tomorrow, so it should be long. I'm not sure the bios will offer more than the X38, but we'll see soon.

I doubt the x-48 will be that much better than the x-38 at least the ddr2 version. I mean its basically the same chip right? Now with ddr3 thats another thing.

Removed my MB to add backplate, and temps have dropped avg 5 C

Someone here had posted about using a backing plate when mounting a waterblock for CPU. I took things apart today, and added the backplate I got with my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme HS.

With new thermal paste with no "cure time", my temps have still dropped by 5 C. In addition, the temp variance between cores has been reduced by 2-3 C.

I am working on setting things up for "everyday" use right now. my system is running Prime 95 @3600 MHz (9 x 400 MHz FSB) with only 1.2750 vCore in BIOS. Smart Guardian is reporting it as 1.29 CPU.

It used to take 1.2825 vCore to do the same thing with my old DFI Lanparty UT P35-T2R, so I am pretty happy about that:)

So for whoever posted the backing plate idea (was it you C-N?), I thank you:up:
