The transpiper installs fine and easy, but in my case it didn't make much difference. The thing that made a difference for me was removing whole heatpipe assembly, replacing TIM and then replacing heatpipes and sinks. Out of the bos, the sink bolts were loose and needed to be tightened.

Putting Ram sinks on the CPLs dropped my pwm temps too. Of course airflow through there is the most important thing.

Then again this new transpiper is maybe much better.

Hummm, how did you install yours?
I was thinking about installing it just on the PWM and not touching the CPU and NB (tha would bring heat to the mix).

So what do yo think of this:

[mrcape]

I tried every combo, with the copper plate, without copper plate, fan on transpiper and not etc..

I ended up not using the transpiper at all and temps for chipset and pwm are fine - always below 40c even under prime load for hours at 4.3ghz.

I still think it's worth trying all the configurations though - it's fun. I think PcCI2iminal had some good results with the copper plate.

Take a look at these posts -

Great feedback thanks. I am currently using 2 small fans one inside the case blowing on top of pwm and the other outside the case taking hot air out of the pwm, they ar fine and temps are much better I was just wondering if that bulky transpiper would do me any good. But now I'll leave it as it is.

Fedex just delivered my board, it showed in good shape and the packaging seems right,ie the Heatsink was in a seperate box as well as other accesories and packaged nicely.
Waiting on an Enzotech NB block to be delivered before the install, really hope it shows today.

edit; just looked and mine is Rev A00

Hope you don't be frustrated like I was with Enzotech, I mis read the specifications that said they where compatible with 1/2 and 3/8 systems but they came only with 1/2 fittings so I had to return the Enzo and trade it for the DD MPC Universal as Sidenwinder can't open the retail box to throw in 3/8 fittings ;-(

So I will probaly have to wait till Monday...

EDIT
About the Rev I hope this won't mean a lesser OC like on the X38's... Mine is A00 too and some here got A1...

[Forsaken1]

On the revsion number.Is it located below the front panel connectors in this picture?

ah crap again
my asus HD3870x2 ROG doesnt work on this board
already failed on Mars,DFI p35 UT, p5n32esli
worked fine on maximus and striker formula 2.
thought it was a pcie 2.0 issue
dudes since i cant even post and before i go out and get another gpu.
whats the default setting for the pcie in ure bios..
help ppl..is it 1.0a??..

How come my 3870x2 works good in both my Infinity P35 & LP P35.

yeah dude my friends saphire 3870x2 also works fine with all the boards i mentioned

its just that asus HD3870x2 4DVi ROG version that is picky..

one good news..
the coolit freezone fits.. barely on the LT..

so can somebody telling me or post the bios screenshot of the pcie options..
hope theres a pcie 2.0 setting..

[Big Lar]

@ Jor3lBR I did specify 3/8" barbs, so I should be good there, I think it was 3 bucks more. USPS tracking says it got to my home town at 10:04 AM today, so I should have my block the latest=tomm.

@ Forsaken1, Thank you for that, as well as pointing me to this board from a thread you started. Under 1 of the slots it says A00, but as you show, mine is also a Rev A1. Thanks again

That's the PCB Rev the Mobo Rev is located under the 3rd slot (PCI) in a white sticker...

[PnoT]

My board is on the Fedex truck for delivery today so hopefully by the time i get home i'll have it in hand.

[Big Lar]

Well, I should know how it clocks either later today or tomm sometime as my Enzo just showed Having a bit Too good of a day here, somethings gotta go bad

Larry

edit; On the Enzotech you can swap the mount plate end for end,(upside down, and while the fittings are installed), so the fittings are on an angle from front to back, instead of directly up and down. It does not cover the entire NB, but its seems to cover enough. Pretty slick looking block tho.

[Jor3lBR]

That's where the Rev number is (3rd Slot) Pci:

[Forsaken1]

Thanks.R.A00.

Set FSB working with clock generator number CY28551LFXC.

Get those boards up fellows.Getting lonely here.At 540x6 FSB.

[axis]

Are the bridge coolers adequate to take my QX6700 to 3.6-3.8ghz 24/7? The NB looks good and i'll add a fan to it but the SB concerns me as it's passive. I have a Spirit II on my P5N32 that I can swap over or I could get the Enzotec SLF-1. I've got a G92 (no Xfire) so space shouldn't be an issue.

I just got this puppy in the mail:





Too bad my board comes in on Wednesday -- making it the very last part that comes in

Any thoughts on all them' pretty numbers?

Uhh, Problem with that, I think they were supposed to ship that to My house
Nice, hope it clocks well for you!

SHIz, as soon as I read that my heart sank. I'm really insecure about this chip. I hope to the gods it's a good one. my old e6700 did 3.5 @ 1.55v

No deal! Get yer dirty hands off my baby

the intel bunny looks like a disco dancer
'...dancing!'

Was just messing with you and a bit of Envy showing thru

Question that I Should know but eludes me right now; Can I run a 1x PCI-E device,( Network adapter), in a 4X PCI-E slot,( ie the lower slot on the x48)?? Reason being, I really do not like the Marvell Lan drivers, and would like to try out this Intel Pro/1000 PT adapter.
The 1x slot is a no go for me as I have a Water Block on my Vid that the adapter would hit.
Any and all info would be Highly appreciated.I am putting off my install until tomm due to this, as thats how much I hate the onboard lan

[zanzabar]

if u use 1x/1x and not 4x mode in the bios then i think that u can

Cool TY for that. I think I'll try that tomm. I sorta remember that as long as the card fits it will work, but I want to make sure. It's a bit of a pain to remove stuff in my case, as when I built it I should have made it 1" wider, as my fingers are too big to reach the thumb screws with the water lines in the way

[hardtarget]

Does anyone have any pics of the DFI LANPARTY UT-X48-T2R motherboard just want to know for sure what sort of cooling does this ship with? Also is it attached to the board, if so how hard would it be to remove for WC? I know the LT version comes with an attachable northbridge heatsink, but a little confused about the UT

[ACE76]

hardtarget, I believe that both UT versions of X48 are the same except for one being a DDR3 board...the pictures in this thread already show what it will look like (the one with the rear external heatsink). The LT is the same exact board except for the cooling sinks being different. The X48 LT board is identical to the X38 LT board. Even the cooling is identical.

The Transpiper that was used on the P35 was later available online. The problem was, that most tests people did here showed that it made no difference at all. I'm sure the new Transpiper will also be available as a standf alone product down the road. It's probably wiser to get the LT version to save money now. If the new Transpiper turns out to be really worth it, suck it up and buy it as a stand alone later on. At least by getting the LT, you could buy a whole arrary of aftermarket sinks made for the north and southbridges.

I own the P35 UT board and just ordered the X48 LT board...I am happy with this now (was going to go X38 LT) but should have waited and gotten the P35 LT board back then to save $$$. I am mainly getting this board because my new Dominator 4gb kit doesn't work with the P35 UT board and I want to have 4gb before I make the switch to DDR3 (probably when Nehalem comes out).
