Advice needed lads about to upgrade my CPU soon so which way would you go I'm mainly a gamer will be also be putting it under water once I know what CPU and GPU card I will be using. I was looking at the E8400 "Wolfdale", is this a better buy than the higher clocked E8500 for this board or should I wait for the Q9450 to come back in stock. I use photoshop and some video stuff, but like I said gaming is my main thing

[Bitgod]

Any news about the UT X48 T2R version?Has anyone got it?

I emailed Motherboardpro.com about it yesterday, they said the ETA for the UT is May. I was thinking about going UT, but now I'm thinking about going LT and getting into water cooling. Sigh, kiss that tax rebate check goodbye.

Sorry dude....time difference and I was on the verge of sleep typing

Can the voltage read points from the link to Clunk's be applied to the P35 LT board?

I swear it is overvolting. Took my E8500 at 1.47v

Should do but the CPU GTL measure points are orientated slightly different as are the PLL/VTT measure points.

This may help http://edgeofstability.com/index.html it was made up for the P35.

My LP UT P35's CPU voltage measures pretty much the same measured with a DMM as what I set in BIOS with vdroop control enabled & something like a .03 ~ .04v over-volt with droop control disabled. DMM measure voltage is something like .02 ~ .03v higher than CPU-Z shows.

There are some areas of the voltage supply that get a bit funky as you run through the scale but I have never observed any wild over-volting rather under volting from what I set/asked for in BIOS if anything.

The LP UT P35 is a very powerful board & can max out anything you put near it real quick.

Thank you for link!!

You rock

For some reason and I can't explain why, I booted up at 580FSB and I was scaling in 5mhz increments as usual looking for the max FSB when the system cut off at 595FSB. At first I figured the CPU just needed more voltage but in the end I realized it was gone. I have been wondering about the real voltage the board was putting out.

Thanks again man

just recieved another 2gb of crucial ballistix 1066. i tried to match the batch number to my other set, but crucial is very sneaky imo when it comes to this, they wont give u the last 4 digits, even though i requested them. so i had no way of knowing they were one sided modules as the rest of the batch number was the same as my originals.
luckily they still overclocked fine upto 1142mhz, thats not bad for 4x1gb.
i just think these companies should be honest and be willing to release all information about there product.

The last 4 or 5 digits are the extension number and usually only on the modules themselves, the outside packaging box doesn't list these extension numbers so no way for someone to know unless the break the seal on the packaging. I guess crucial would have their own way of knowing maybe ?

yeah im sure they do , but they wont let u know i asked them. they say they wont release that information. and there all single sided now. im abit worried since ive read everywhere about how bad these single sided modules are. i heard there dieing after a month in most cases. damn.
only two are the 8FE5 the other two modules installed are the 16FD5 im not sure how having them mixed will effect performace but time will tell i guess.

Adya how did your 1st set die?

[adya]

Adya how did your 1st set die?

i didnt have any die, i just read in about a dozen threads that there very short lived and troublesome.
i only had 2gb of the 16fd5 then i thought id try my luck and see if i could get another set of the same rev. but they sent me these single sided modules .
i just installed a 90 mm fan along them that will blow the hot air of them straight into a 120mm exhaust fan above them .
hope it helps with overheating.

Keep an eye on the heat spreaders they just come off for no reason... Use 1 inch binders to keep them in place.

I bet most of them died becase ppl where not active cooling them and combined with a hspreader that just peals off = death.

I still have my 4 sticks of 1gb double sided running since Jan/08 1200Mhz 2.1v (2gb sticks at a time). With OCZ XTC and Binders...

yeah thanks ill keep an eye on that. and i have a 90mm fan on it now so hopefully thats enought.
i was just told buy someone that crucial has gone cheap and to stay away from them. great , wish they told me that before lol .

Hey anyone try this board with a Xeon 3360? I just got the Xeon today and put it in the X48 board with the 3/20 BIOS. I noticed that this new BIOS has a warning for the vCore and it goes up to 1.4500v before the numbers turn pink or red ... supposedly to let you know you may fry your CPU ... Anywho, does anyone have a template for the quad 45nm Xeon? I have been out of touch with this thread and didn't read ALL of it yet ... so if anyone can give me a ballpark start, it would be greatly appreciated ...

Just curious if going past the 1.45 vCore voltage would really do any harm to the 45nm processors ... so far with a little up and down experimenting, RealTemp hasn't shown anything over 55C ... just not quite ready to put a heavy load on this proc ... not yet anyways ...

Xeon 3360 w/IFX 14 and two Noctua NF-12P
LT X48 T2R
4GB OCZ Reaper PC2 8500 (2 x 2GB)

Yeah, had the same issue recently, I had to RMA one of my ballistix tracer 1066, got back a single sided, which sorta sucks because the LEDs are single rowed instead of the double I have on the other 3 stick. It's not killing me, just a minor drag. Now I'm have more memory problems, had to underclock them tonight just to pass 90 minutes of memtest. Not sure which I'm paranoid more about, the RAM or the P5K dlx. But that's why looking to go back to DFI and put a new system together. ( I have a 80mm fan I've been blowing on them and the NB, didn't help enough though.)

That's right, we had quite a few spreaders that came off at one edge - more pics here.

The last set of Tracers I got were D9 and had the old style heat spreaders on, and they too were already peeling off, so I removed them entirely and they have been my longest serving set of D9 RAM ever.

This was the Brand new set of tracers before I de-spreadered them.

[eva2000]

yeah same with older crucial pc2-8500 tracers i had http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=4218 - one set hs was installed off center heh and other were lifting off... no probs with non-tracers even for older clip ones.. the tracer LED chip in middle of module is usually slightly taller than ICs forcing the gap from what i can see on mine.

Hey eva2000,do you have any news about your UT X48 T2R?

not yet. hopefully soon.. got 5 sets of 2x2GB memory to test out on UT X48-T2R

[CoolZone]

I am also interested in this 'problem' of the Tracers.I have 4 sticks of 1 GB.Can you show some photos too with them after you 'fixed' them ?

[Clunk]

Mine fixed

[CoolZone]

how do they work with no cooling at all?
