Dfi Lt X48-t3r

[saaya]

oh come on... i really wouldnt have expect dfi to place to 16x slots next to each other... why?

This is so Thermalright.

And look a few post above, they said that the board's digital PWM will bring enough current to AMD quad core processors. I think they are wrong in both cases, when they say it uses AMD quad core CPUs and when thay say it uses ICH10 southbridge.

They say AMD Quad core because the AMD RD790 board was the first with this digital technology and they just copy/pasted what they wrote on it's ad over to here without replacing 'AMD' for 'Intel'.

Are you saying that the AMD RD790 is the first board that uses digital PWM? Because is not, in the entire market and if we look only inside DFI...

And yes, of course it's just a copypaste.

O Rly?

The ICFX3200 was the first DFI board to use digital PWM based on the Volterra controller.

It supports 3-way CFX cards, but id have preferred it if the 3rd PCI-E slot and the bottom PCI slot were swapped around.

Will DFI be fast to market with this one??? Ooooh! If the price is right........

It is sad but in UK DFI Boards are never cheaper. I could not find any DFI cheaper board that uses X38. I found one P35 for £164($310). I will never ever buy for that price. I hope DFI boards will get cheaper around here someday.

No, I mean from the latest "AMD Quad core supporting boards" where they took the statement from, the DFI RD790 was the first of their boards to use it. The others didn't support quads and have this feature.

Motherboardpro can ship international if you ask em. I got my P35 shipped to me (in auckland) for US $50.

The fact that i have only two eyes doesn't mean that i'm completely blind and can't read that. Don't worry, i seen that before.

Agree,appears three dual slot cooling card is a no-go .

[Zorlac]

I'm going to wait for Intel or DFI to release their Nehalem boards. Then I will finally replace my D975XBX.

Thank you very much

This is a old design pic. Retail will have some changes.

[ANP !!!]

Nice Board, Sweet colors .

Andre, any info on actual availability?

[Booj]

A Cebit showing would be nice.. but my guess would be for the release to be April at least. Especially if it has ICH10..probably "When it's done"

[Anemone]

Using thermalright cooling would be smart

Yep slot design needs some work.

ICH10 (if it comes on the P45) should be pairable with a X48 Northbridge. I don't see a technical reason for it not to be "possible". And legacy free doesn't mean someone didn't come up with a bridge pci-e to pci. The logic of doing that however, doesn't make sense. So I'll bet it's ICH9 or it doesn't look like the photo if it's ICH10 (which Andre has noted it does not).

[kaskuli]

Wow! Thought DFI T3R mobos would only come in 2010... lol... please try not to get owned by Abit this time. If you're gonna be the last ones to bring out motherboards they should have class leading performance right out of the box and perfect BIOS.

[s0lid]

DDR3 Lanparty is a myth =D
DFI promised from P35 and X38 lanpartys an DDR3 edition have u seen one? -no u haven't

[Forsaken1]

Will DFI have a x48 that supports ddr2?

[da-key]

I bet we see this or a p45 board from dfi real soon.

The arrangement of the slots is for featuring 2 cards crossfire and 1 physics. But 3870 is single slot cooling so if it does trifire than its good enough. Still, layout is always a hard choice with the constraints of atx.

[Aivas47a]

Come on DFI, give us a DDR3 board already!

[jarthel]

Are you saying that the AMD RD790 is the first board that uses digital PWM? Because is not, in the entire market and if we look only inside DFI...

Iwill had digital PWM (or maybe it was Tyan) on their old style xeon board(socket 603 or 604) and that was like 2004/2005?

[GripS]

I'm betting this board will be about 350 bucks when it is first released. Not much point in offering a DDR2 version IMO. If DFI turned to thermalright for their onboard heatsinks that is a HUGE step in the right direction.

[KoHaN69]

Damn!
This board looks like no modding is needed to it.
Damn you DFI! For not letting me spend countless hours making quiet NB heatsinks that don't sound liek stock vacuum cleaners, damn youuu!
