**Official DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[Cascades]

Smart Guardian reports the PWM Temp to be 38*C, for what ever that's worth. There was a guy on here a month ago that was going to make up some PWM waterblocks. He has since disappeared.

All this discussion about water cooling has led me to take the plunge on a Silverstone TJ07 case. I got it on ebay tonight for $105 USD plus shipping of $89. These cases are only so-so with air cooling, but are perfect for a water cooled system. So, you know what is coming in my New Year

For now it is a matter of research and discussing what other people are using, so I end up with the best result. Would love to hear from other members who are water cooling their DFI Lanparty UT P-35 motherboards (particularly in this case) for suggestions, feedback, etc.

Whilst on the subject of water there is a thread here somewhere about the D-Tek fuzion & the newly available nozzle kits. There is a quad core nozzle together with a new upper chamber o'ring available that most say shaves a couple of degrees off temps.

Should have mine tomorrow and I will report back. I already have the upper chamber sealed and the block bowed. Gonna give MX-2 a shot as well

Excellent

You will be the first person I know that has already sealed & bowed the block than added the nozzle so your findings will be interesting.

Did you find any real measurable difference sealing the chamber & bowing the block ?

The bow makes mounting alittle bit harder as I think I got a drop on two cores and alittle higher temps on the other two. I thought I had tightened the nuts on the mounting bolts enought but one came loose (enought) to spin when I went to tighten the block down to maximum. Probably got a bit of an uneven mount.

I had just got the board and wanted to at least get it going, as I knew I needed to reloop because I am WC'ing the NB at a minimum, and I knew I was adding the nozzles. I should be able to get a good idea of what the change will be as I will only be adding the NB/SB to my Gfx loop, so they will not impact overall temps on the CPU loop. If I get a MM case I will prolly add a small 3rd loop. And yes I am addicted to WC'ing. LOL

I think I need to get rid of the HE 120.3 and go PA 120.3. The HE needs much more fan than I am giving it. Will see when I get the bowed, nozzled, sealed and MX-2'd Fuzion on my G0

I made several mounts to get my temps within a couple of degrees of each other, one thing I noticed on my board was it was possible to over tighten the block which resulted in board flex making the PWM squeal & the rig would randomly re-boot passably due to the PWM's overheating.

I don't think tightening the block down until the springs or spacers bottom is good I think its way too tight.

I now use a back plate on the board & just apply light block mounting pressure & all is good.

The PA is awesome do it you know you want to
