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

[Rebel2k]

nice!

did you tried 500mhz fsb ???

Do you think all X48-TR2 Board get max fsb around 490mhz???
Im am not sure now which Mainbaord I should buy!!! I plan to buy the new q9450 and now I am looking for a nice OC Board.

[Sly Fox]

I got this board (LT X48) today in the mail from MotherBoardPro and everything looks fine except the NB cooler. It is clearly used as it wasn't in plastic wrap and already had the fan clips attached. In additions, the bottom (copper that touches NB) had some form of corrosion or something... I cleaned it with a T-Shirt and Isopropyl alcohol, but it still looks ugly on the bottom. I mounted it all the same with MX-2 and hopefully it won't affect the temps.

I still think it's rather unprofessional of DFI to include a used and clearly damaged (perhaps only aesthetically) NB cooler with a $300 X48 motherboard. Frankly, I probably won't buy DFI ever again.

In addition, I noticed when looking at the NB cooler from the side that the heatpipe+fins were off center a bit, hanging if you will towards the other side. I gently applied pressure the opposite way and got it to slide back into the straight up 90 degree position.

Is the heatpipe supposed to be able to turn like this? I'd assume it would be soldered in and couldn't move... Unless somehow I managed to bend it with very little force...

New screen shot.Post #226.This motherboard owns quad cores.Will not push max FSB any further until i install MCW30 on NB.

8x multiplier is what will show the strength of the chipset/board. 1000MHz makes a big difference at board level.

Do you realy need 1.75v to the NB for 500fsb?

[KeyzerComponent]

well im thinking of running a system i can OC, (haven't OCed before and im a little nervous, especially with the prices in AU$)

MOBO: thinking about
CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600
PSU: CoolerMaster Real Power M850 Modular
Cooling: Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra Watercooling Kit
GPU: Was wanting to SLI XFX GeForce 9600GT 512MB
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 (2x1GB) 5-5-5-12
Case: Silverstone TJ-07 with window in the black. (already purchased and is on the way)

This is going to be my first build so any suggestions would be appreciated.

501x8 Q6600.


C-N,all voltages untweaked.Raise and pray .
GTL ref's disabled also.

[Jor3lBR]

@Forsaken

That looks lovely! And the temps are so low

Looking forward to set my system up and running I have a Q6600 also

Meanwhile some pics of my X48 setup with the Inferno-FX10 - Dtek Fuzion - Danger Den (perfect fit) - SB SLF1 and MOSC1 from Enzotec:

Anyone using the Onboard Sound, ie; Berstein module and running at 500 fsb or over without probs?

Reason I ask, is that I can run 10kfft's and blend til the cows come home at 8.5x500, but Gaming?? Uh Uh I thought maybe it was my 2x2gb g.skill pc8000, but they ran fine with same speeds on my P35 DFI board.

Also lowered the clocks on my vid and dropped AF to nadda, same thing. Any input appreciated.

[nzbleach]

soundcard.

i have a sound card, u might want to up the SB voltage thats what the sound, SB and jmicron use

[Big Lar]

Ehh, got it figured out, I needed to up the vtt to 1.114v still within reason, but it made a big difference in stability. I find it odd that the VTT on this board when set to default of 1.1v, is actually 1.08v shown under load in SG. Shrug, all good now at 8.5 x 501 so far.

The sound out of the onboard is surprisingly good, well, compared to the TBSC anyhow

Thanks for the replys

[CoolZone]

-the stock X48 NB cooler is made by Thermalright or DFI?Is it efficient under overclocking?
-if it is not with what should I change it?
-also,the SB does or does not need extra cooling on this particular motherboard?

Jor3lBR,I really like your solution with the extra copper cooling on all remaining transistors

this is a common error ppl make on x38 overclocking

thats y usually i test on vista ultimate with prime running and a some playlist on vlc usually some series overnight
many a times video is a no no.. when blend test passes even 12 hours.

I never thought of that, Thanks

I've been playing with this board for a few days now. I've noticed the temps of the PWM area is pretty high. I've seen 50-51C and that's with nominal voltages increases.

I'm thinking of attaching the ThermalRight HR09 Type 3 S to the board. The website doesn't specifically mention the X48 board but rather the X38 board but since the configurations are exact, I'm thinking I won't have problems putting it on. Has anyone used the above mentioned heatsink on their X38 or X48 Lanparties?

Are you sure MotherboardPro didn't resell the mobo?

They have not even had the boards long enough to send out and get a return at the time the OP was receiving his and then posting. Everything seems geared to being a conspiracy of sorts and I got my board right out of the shipping container and sent to me and the fan retainers are on the NB chipset fan and the heat tube fins were about 85 degreee from perpendicular on the LT X48 as they were on my previous X38 board. And no plastic packaging on my NB sink either.

Old OEM type 70mm fan cable tied onto the NB sink aimed so it blows at the video card results in NB temps that so far are never over 42C on my board when loaded. Wait until summer hits. Hehehe.

Dang that is some poor QA.

[CoolZone]

Can anyone please confirm which type of Thermalright mosfet cooler does fit on the DFI X48 model?
Also,has anyone tested the IFX-10 on this mobo?Does it fit in a Coolermaster Stacker 830?

Humm I can say something about the Inferno FX10.

Just scroll up a little bit in this page and you see it mounted on my board...

[CoolZone]

true,but I was asking if it fits in the CM 830

[AKHandyman]

Unless you have about 3 inches of top clearance from the edge of your motherboard and the top of the case ... it's too tight of a fit ... I have the Antec P182 and with my X38 board and the ThermalRight IFX-14 and its backplate (similar design) it would NOT fit!!

[Rebel2k]

Did someone has the new Q9450 CPU??? Would be interesting how OC on the DFI x48 works with them!!

@ Forsaken1:
did you get FSB 500x 8 stable for some hours??

Rebel2k,did not run orthos/prime on that oc.Will try and run it by this weekend.There are alot of eager people wanting to see what this board can do with a 45nm quad.I just posted to show it will be possible to run 500x8 with similar setup to mine.Note ymmv.This Q6600 is average at best.

Still looking for a 45nm quad .
