It makes sense to use a socketed bios. Think of all the money that can be saved on RMA's. Somebody hoses a bios flash and all DFI has to do is pop in a new bios chip and send the motherboard back to the customer. Or better yet. Just ship out a new bios chip to the customer and let them do it themselves. All higher end motherboards should use socketed bios chips.

Which is the better version with DFI (I've never used them), UT, LT or DK?

basically the order you have them in. UT is the top dog with the best cooling arrangement, LT has normal-ish heatsinks but shares the same layout and most components, DK is the budget segment, cheaper components fewer pci-e slots etc.
03-13-2008, 05:30 PM
zanzabar

the LT probly has a better heatsink like last time, some1 needs to upload the bios so we x38 users can get it
03-13-2008, 05:35 PM

So putting cooling aside because most of us here will change it or mod it in some way, which board is the one designed for all out overclocking performance? I assume the UT being that it is the top dog?

they are probly the same

The UT and LT are the same board with different cooling solutions. I'm not sure about the DK, I never had one.

Correct. UT and LT perform basically the same. Dark version LanParty has somewhat different bios with some fewer options and thus is slightly outperformed by UT and LT version. And of course it's a lot cheaper.

I meant that the new ICHR10 will have Wireless intergrated, not that the ICHR9 does.

Something like this:

Quote:

The basic differences between the chipset Intel x48 and x38 is the official support to 1600 MHz system bus, corresponding frequency dividers, and also the possibility to exploit a pair of modules DDR 3-1600 with XMP technology and 1.8 v .

http://xtreview.com/images/intel%20x48%20vs%20x38.jpg
http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-35...8-chispet.html

Somewhat better memory overclocking and native support.

It's too early to call on that one. The Lanparty LT X38 is probably one of the best boards you can get at the moment.

All sold out? It's not even available yet. I just checked the site and they are accepting pre-orders only and it will be available 3/17. No worries. Wait a few months. 300 bucks is WAY too much for a motherboard anyway.:cool:

I used The Stilt's mod to flash the Rampage Formula onto my P5E and I have all the functionality of a X48 chip, which pretty much is the manually selectable Performance Level. X38 seems to have all the abilities of the X48 (not surprising, they are the same chip), the higher binning will have to be seen once retail hits.

If the layout's are the same (pwm, caps, slots, etc) they are probably cross-flashable. The X48-T2R is the one to have now and I'm sure DFI will push the bios options as they always do. Hopefully for X38 users, they could get some of dat:)

Compare that picture to the LT X38. Same cooling. The NB heatsink shown in the picture of the LT X48 is not part of the Thermalright cooling system on the UT X48 board. The Thermalright heatpipe cooling system is on the UT board only.

The TR IFX-14 has a very similar looking back-plate cooler which sticks out from the side, though not out of the case ... very interesting to say the least ...

Seems to be the same exact board as the X38 but they just swapped out the chipset. All cooling is the same. Board came directly from DFI (ordered from motherboardpro.com) in CA after passing customs. Packaging was absolute crap...Just motherboard box thrown in a larger FedEx box, no insulation, and rattled around a lot in shipping.

Think it says "X38" underneath "X48" sticker, but haven't pulled it off.

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

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.

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.

This board is made in china,according to box.On mother board specs are Rev.A1.Southbridge runs at 95F.Little warm to me.

Rev A1 o A001?

How do you read SB temps?

gonna need 1.85v+ on nb to hit 600fsb
an you gonna need a special cpu lots cant do 500 lol

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?

kunak went past 600fsb with a e6300 lol you should be ok
i myself went to 580fsb with my e6850 i know my cpu can do more i didnt push voltages too far
many e6750s cant go past 500
my e6400 can do 500 easy:D

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?

ahh k , thats good to know. ill stick with my x6800 then. seems like its still very capable for overclocking even with new chipsets.
thanks.

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

no dude

only UT will be getting the transpiper2.

X48 has LT TR3 which will be exactly the same as LT-TR2..

doesnt matter whether it is ddr2 or DDR3

eh y not ask those jokers with the UT P35's and other chipset UT's that was using the transpiper already

but look at your own post with pic - there is ddr3 board with transpiper, i doubt they will develop another cooling for old layot boards (i e ddr2)

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.

p35 transpiper on the x48

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...
