it's ok this motherboard with CSX diablo 2000 kits ??

I don't understand why some guys care about digital pwm temp. The 8 phase digital pwm can go 135~150 °C no problem at all.

Couple of reasons for high 70C like PWM temps (SYSTEM) temps on DFI UT X58-T3EH8
1. You're running water cooling and don't have active cooling over PWM/mosfets area.
2. You don't have any air flow over PWM/mosfet area
3. You have a hot video card's back side adding heat to NB area - seems the sensor for PWM is close to that area - haven't confirmed OR
4. Seem the NB heatsink has a heatpipe that extends to the mosfet heatsink from these 2 photos of the cpu socket area - side view and top view. It would also explain why, adding a fan over NB heatsink produced a drop SYSTEM and CHIPSET temps in Smart Guardian at idle from 57C to 44C and load temps from 70C to 55C for SYSTEM and 46C to 39C for CHIPSET temps as seen here
I'm caseless, open desk and use push-pull fan config. The pull fan on TRUE120 is directed on the Flame Freezer heatsink and the push fan is positioned lower down so air flow goes under TRUE120 heatsink towards PWM area See photo

Andre can you confirm which is which in SG, SYSTEM = NB or PWM and CHIPSET = NB or PWM temps ?

ah thanks... interesting how cooling NB dropped system temps from high 70Cs to mid 50s C heh

there is any incompatibilty with csx diablo ? ^_*
Test 32M under LN2
impressive result
you might clock at higher speed w/out HT
I did respond to that remark with a normal tone, unlike yours. If we cannot have a normal dialogue please say so and I will not post in this thread.
The big issue is that instead of having an ambient(because the nb and pwm is a smaller ambient if we can call it this way) of 40degrees the board will reach 55-60 then it is most likely that the cpu will be affected with the result being a higher core temp or the cooling will not be so efficient. Is 90degrees ok for you?
Also instead of being cooler the boards seem to develop massive heatsinks and despite having them they also develop higher operating temperature.
AndreYang I am denying the qualities of this board, I am considering buying this over the Asus,Gigabytes and Evgas despite having a not so good experience with the UT X48, that is why I was curious and why I am following this thread.

Digital PWM run hot by nature. It's either ignore the high temp or do something about it (watercooler etc). I put a mips PWM freezer on my X38's PWM, which keeps them below 50C even after weeks of 100% load.
If you want plug and play go with Asus or Gigabyte, DFI is not for noobs, sorry (both regarding bios control and cooling).
