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

same here pretty much - depends on air flow in your case aswell

Naw, I have good airflow. It's just very CPU dependant. My 65nm Quad@4Ghz drains about 125 to 130A current, and that is 24/7 due to it crunching for WCG.
Now, your little 45nm Dualcore drains 40-50A at most - see the difference?
Same goes for G0 Dualies.

Slap a Kentsfield in there, OC it that high and you'll be seeing that temp as well.
I still think 60C is impressive though, any other mobo would have died long since (actually, 2 Abit IX38 did...)

[Origin_Unknown]

you sure you done mean 'W' instead of 'A'?

[jcool]

No, I am talking about amperes here

My Q6600 drains about 125*1.45V=181W running BOINC, even more running prime or Cinebench.

I happen to know that, because my Abit IX38 had quite accurate readings for current (it was 107A at 1,32V and 3,6Ghz, go figure).
180W is perfectly reasonable for a 4Ghz Kentsfield
Mine has a low vid too, that means high currents from the beginning. Not all mobos can handle it, but the DFI sure can.

Just rebuilt my system. Adding a 8800GTX in and i get post code FF on monitor and no image on monitor nothing, put old cars back in and still nothing. What is post code FF on mobo? It says Boot on DFI list, is this what should be diplayed?

[Bikerz]

Cheers for reply guys replaced thermal paste and it wasnt sitting that well so added some washers, but read my post above, so cant tell u results till this is sorted. Im on W/C setup

[Bikerz]

Forgot that guys, the mrs had unplugged teh dvi cable out of back of monitor, grrrrr.

Even with new thermal paste and screwed down more its still 47C idel. Not happy. Whats the best heatsink I can get in UK that will fit it?

What's the best bios atm ?
I want to push my E2180 to the limit before getting me an Q9450
Maybe some hints before i start ?

[t_ski]

There are only two BIOS files. The newer one corrects problems with NB voltage readings on some boards.

You can flash X48 BIOS to this board, but at your own risk of course.

x48 bios is just increasing nb voltage

so 1/11 bios is better than 3/14??
i just upgraded to 3/14

also i have a little q - if my card i n pci-e slot 1 it runs as x1
but in slot pci-e 4 it runs as x16, with same settings
why?


and most important fact - 3870x2 doesnt work correct with my dfi, i've got random lockups

[Neuuubeh]

Would this mainboard have any problems running a x3350? I remember reading some dfi statement that there isnt an "official" support of Xeon CPUs, but maybe I was daydreaming again . Also, would I need a BIOS update in order to get it running? Or would it (the mainboard) work straight out of the box with the x3350?

I cant find a q9450 in stock anywhere in here :X

that shouldent happen slot 4 is a 4x electrical, slots 1/3 are the 16x pci-e2 so thats a vary strange thing to happen

3/14 it better for 45mm cpu i think

no i mean middle slot. in middle pci-e slot 3870x2 works as x16, and in pci-e slot near cpu as x1. i tried to increase pci-e freq and some voltages, but it is still x1. it is proven by 3dmark scores - 12000 vs 16600 regarding slots.

i'll check how 88000gts works there

3/14 it better for 45mm cpu i think

good news, thx

[ic3m4n2005]

OK flashed 111 Bios and played a little...
got me some nice results, but a a point i can't go further.
3200 are ok at 1.23 ..maybe a bit higher for the long run.
3400 not even stable with 1.4v, tried even very high vtt (1,6) and vnb (1,56) voltages, but it did not help
After a few mins prime i got a bsod.
Checked for fsb wall -> 8x345 no problem at all... so what's next ?
Any hints or maybe some presets to test ?

Just entertain me for a moment, put the PCI-E frequency back to 100 & the NB voltage under 1.65v & see if slot 1 runs at 16x.

I had a similar thing with my P35.

you better update your sig

Deactivated item? If it was out of stock it would just say out of stock wouldn't it? Was just about to buy one, too.

its been out of production since the x48 shipped hasnt it, so that isnt surprising

Does this mean that those who got their hands on LT x38 are some lucky bastards? This motherboard didn't even ship to Sweden as far as I'm concerned.

possibly you could still get it from germany (thats where i got mine from) HPM-Computer

Ah I see. I ordered mine from Germany aswell but the site doesn't have it in stock anymore.

And holy hell, just found E3110 stock! : Will order one to try it out with this lovely board!
