**Official DFI LanParty UT X48-T2R(and LT) Discussion

So only one single difference from X38 is second revizion of NB?
Perhaps it could run to 600fsb.

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 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

Now I'm waiting on the freaking NB block to fire it up.

Atleast your NB heatsink came in a box.My heatsink was tossed in the box .

[gersson]

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.

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?

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

[DJSUB]

i want to see 45nm past the x38 fsb barrier on this board

[MJRL]

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...

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.

[zanzabar]

if they are electrically identical chips why change the pcb layout its a great layout, but the t3r looks worse off than the t2r

[cstkl1]

do you have any link showing thermalright cooling on X48 LT?

thanks

[cstkl1]

Atleast your NB heatsink came in a box.My heatsink was tossed in the box .

same here..

[adya]

wow , id be interested to know how that thermalright works ? its like 2 inches from anything . is it even effective?
looks interesting though .

[rioja]

as i understand x48 ddr2 has same cooling as x38, only x48 ddr3 will be with thermalrights

[cstkl1]

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

[rioja]

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

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.

[Forsaken1]

Working my way up on FSB.Currently at 515X9(e8400) at this moment.Love how this board recovers from operator error .

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.

[Jor3lBR]

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...
