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

[zfactor]

does the dfi give you a fet on each fan output like the abit boards do..

[mad_skills]

I can control their rpm if that's what you mean.

[zfactor]

no i mean a separate mosfet to give them the voltage they need.. some mobo done use fets on the fan headers (at least in the past) and if the fan was to much for the header it would burn it out..

[WoZZeR999]

Sorry if I misread your reply.
I use speedfan now, and my p5k has 4 fan headers. 1 is cpu, so it can only be controlled with a PWM fan, which I don't use. 2 are chassis fans that are controlled together, I can't set 50% to just 1 of them, the speed change affects both. The last is an aux fan that does not seem like it can be controlled at all. On the DFI, can I change each fan individually?

@fireice2: Nice shot Matt! i bet your itching to get that board running

@zfactor: try asking luihed or Praz, they have both boards. will you be running SLI/CF? what proc are you planning to use?

[mad_skills]

To be honest i am not sure about this.
@emoners Dude i understand his itch, had the same feeling when i was waiting for my mobo..

[zfactor]

well you know what a fet looks like right.... like the ones in the psu section near the caps.. on the abit pro there is one mounted near each of the fan headers or close to it.. hmm ill look at the posted pics again to see if i can see them

[Roger_D25]

zFactor I will take a quick minute and check for you as I'm knowledgable about what they look like.

There does seem to be some voltage control around each fan header along with some filtering as well (but not 100% sure on that)? Let us know what you think once you get a chance to view it.

[zfactor]

thanks very much..looking for good pics now.. anyone have a http where i can see close ups..

[mad_skills]

I've just checked my mobo, the connectors, the ones i can see, have mosfets near them , though i've seen only 3 or 4, not all 6.

[zfactor]

most likely they all have them then.. thank you for looking..

[mad_skills]

Np man , it's just bad that i can't see all of them cause of the vga and the thermalright..that thing is just damn too big..but perhaps they all have it..

[Roger_D25]

I'm in the same boat mad_skills because my GTX/soundcard/watercooling tubing and cables make it difficult to check each of them out! If I can find a highly detailed picture of the mobo I'll post it or a linky to it.

[zfactor]

yeah i have not been able to find anything that was high res and large..

[Roger_D25]

zFactor,
Check out THIS members review (I linked to a single post he wrote in his review of this board, his pictures are wonderfully detailed and of high resolution). Plus he has multiple pictures which are closeups very close to the fan headers, well most of them anyway. Let me know if these pictures help or not.

[zfactor]

hard to see all of them even with those pics but most do appear to have fets on them i think the board will be fine. def a solid looking board

[mad_skills]

Not just good looking, but an overclock peach never the less... I love it more everyday.

[zfactor]

i know i want one i just cant decide between p35 and x38

[Praz]

That's easy. Buy both and sell the one you decide to let go. For 24/7 use it really comes down to the CrossFire capability.

[soundx98]

ya got da good eyes.
nice find on the pic

[zfactor]

looking at that one now ^^^ thanks

[zfactor]

now are all 6 fan headers supposed to be speed controlable. or are some just monitored. i do not see a fet for each header from that pic. unless some use one fet for 2 fans...

[zfactor]

lol funny to see the foxconn name on the ps/2 keyboard and mouse cover...

[Brother Esau]

Carl you get you're stuff set up yet?
