Official DFI LanParty UT X38-T2R(and LT) Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

I will be using this board in Stacker832 and thought about organizing airflow from cpu heatsink (ultra 120 extreme) towards the top exhaust, either towards the back of the case.

If somebody could measure or tell if that would be possible using HR-05 SLI/IFX (mounting it so that it blocks first pci-express slot)? Or is the slot itself is too tall and it cannot be positioned in that way?

Why not normal HR-05 heatsink ?

Best i can do for you is take a photo of HR-05 side on with stock DFI X38 heatsink to compare. As far as I can tell the stock DFI LT X38 NB heatsink's wider base is what blocks the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme's heatpipes from being oriented the way where fan exhausts air out of case.





The Thermalright HR-05 has alot thinner base so I think it will fit.. but can't be sure. No time or motivation to install HR-05 on DFI LT X38.

Maybe Thermalright Ultima-90 better cpu heatsink for your situation ?

I'm also using the 11/28 BIOS. The setting is in the PC Health section. I needed to set it at +14 for this CPU. Seems to track well from idle to load compared to CoreTemp.

It appears that the board slightly overvolts the processor. I've sent a request concerning that and a couple of other things that hopefully will be addressed in the next BIOS update.

must of not looked carefully enough - haven't taken bios photos yet heh. My cpu has around 6-8C difference from SG vs Coretemp. Yeah vcore overvolts and CPU VTT/NB core don't align with bios monitoring but are much closer in SG.
