**Official DFI LanParty UT X48-T2R(and LT) Discussion

[DualCore]

can fit the original NB cooler in the SB ? t will not run into if I have one 3870x2 ?

[CoolZone]

Does the transpiper fit on this motherboard?

[zanzabar]

yes, all motherboards with that pwm sink have the gap in the moddle support the transpiper

[CoolZone]

any idea when the UT version will be available to buy?

[hardtarget]

I have this memory (G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5) have the DFI LT X48 on order will this memory be ok can't find any info on what chips it's using.......I'm a newbie at this so expect lot's of silly questions

[emoners]

man the DFI's X48 really looks awesome...but i wonder if i should give up my P35 to get the X48. i'm just running a single card tho...

[Gambit_2K]

I sent an email to DFI about when the FK version would be available. Got a reply today.

"Dear Customer,



The first output will be arrived on early April. Please search www.Newegg.com for availability.

Thanks



DFI San Jose"

No. The DFI® LanParty UT & LT P35 boards are aurguably the best performing boards available. The P35 chipset clocks higher and scores higher or near same as x38 or x48 in memory & cpu benchmarks. Only reason to buy x38 or x48 is to run crossfire.

yes you're right.
that's what i'm thinking right now. x38 & x48 looks like same fsb limit with wolfdale

i have the latest UT P35 AB0 Revision & has better memory handling than my previous revision. it could run my faulty mem @ 1.9v
on previous board it need's 2.55-2.6v to run that memory.

what is better for quads,especially QX9650?The X48 or the P35?

P35 chipset would be the better to get in single card, but you are overseeing one key point that P35 is PCI-E gen1... with new faster cards such as the 9800GX2 using PCI-E gen 2 needing more bandwidth etc

I was going to get the P35 but since prices do not differ that much over the X38 i was to get that instead but now seeing X48 does DDR2 version why not better futureproof yourself?

[DJSUB]

my Q6600 could run 480fsb on UT P35

Anyone using an Areca 1210 (or similar) type of raid card in the 2nd pci-express 16x 2.0 slot with success? If so, I might give this board a shot...

[MikersSU]

Hey guys, thought you might be interested in knowing that a new BIOS has been released for this board.

[CoolZone]

Can anyone give us some photos with the X48 mobo and the Transpiper 1.0 installed?Maybe the Transpiper 2.0?

Any news when the UT will be launched?I'm interested only in the DDR2 version

[KeyzerComponent]

So whats everyones thoughts? Should i go the x38 or the x48? im not looking at OCing (much....), or should i go with a 780/790i? Im just looking for a decent high end MOBO....

Thanks.

[seamumc]

so if you don't have a x38 board nor p35 & are ready to try one, do you guys recommend this one over the x38? I'm stuck between DFI x38, x48 or 790i ultra.

Keep in mind the 790i only supports DDR3, the 780i supports DDR2. This particular DFI board supports DDR2. The DDR3 version is yet to be released. The cost difference is very significant, so keep that in mind.

If you want SLI, it appears, from what I've seen on this board and reviews, that the 790i is the best chipset from NVidia in a long time. Though I think it needs to be out for a bit more time to make that determination.

If SLI doesn't matter I'd go for the X48 over the X38 just as a preference. I'm real happy with DFI's P35 though.

If you really don't want to overclock, I'd wait for the DK version of the X48 board. If you are not going to use CrossFire, I'd suggest getting the DK version of the P35 board. You'll save a lot of money and get an awesome board.

The UT and LT boards are designed for OC'ing and their price reflects this. If you don't OC you are not benefitting from the extra cost of these boards.

More to come Hope to put it under cascade ASAP.

Great I'll be looking forward to seeing what you can make of the board.

some people here recommend the P35 over this X48.I am planning to get a QX9650 and I heard on some forums that this CPU has several problems with the P35 mobos(configuration not booting up),so I really do not think it is a good investment

i heard it works fine with the latest revision & better psu

[CoolZone]

well,then the highest FSB for QX9650 is achievable with what mobo?

[seamumc]

The only problem I have had is that I can't install Vista (32 or 64) with any bios newer then 11/07. Of course this may have absolutely nothing to do with the QX9650, it's a pain though. I can install newer BIOS after Vista is installed.

Next time I install clean I'll make sure everything is set to default.
