DFI first DDR3 motherboard, UT X48-T3R Heatsink by Thermalright

[AndreYang]

I received this motherboard this morning, but I am so busy for my benching 3D.

So I take some pics for sharing. Results will come soon.
































Install HR-05 to Northbridge and PWM heatsink.






















Start Screenshot




Some bios options










more testing coming soon.

Thanks Andre, really stunning pics, can't wait to see some results from your new toy.

[Solarfall]

great pics andre... im really looking forward on seeing some benchmarks

[M.Beier]

Nice Andre...
I didnt get this toy, sadly... Can you post max FSB quad and max FSB dual ASAP? And if it allows 1:2 at highest FSB...

Btw... Hope you didnt boot with that PLL :p
Kinda would fry your chip instantly, hehe

I really like the layout & the heatsinks look like they actually do something. I've never owned a DFI board as the bios options scare me. I wouldn't have a clue what they all do. Does the manual explain what all of these settings do & how they increase stability/overclock? Or is there like a guide somewhere online for DFI virgins like myself?

I hope we'll see a war between this and blackOPS

[MacClipper]

Hope DFI has sorted out all the 3870x2 card issues in this new mobo, pls test with a 3870x2 if possible.

This is going to be really interesting, i think we might see the craziest DDR3 clocks with this mobo.

[Speederlander]

LT version for $100 savings, simpler heatsinks, and the win.

i'm such a dfi fanboy
but i'm broke and have just stepped up my pos 780i for an 790i.
i will get one in a few months or so thuo

[Hazzan]

Look that board very promising........

[geoffsthaboss]

i have the UT x48-T2R version and have been wondering if because the nb can take after market cooling without removal of the heat-pipe assembly, you should be able to mount a waterblock on it, right?

[NapalmV5]

perfect pci/pcie slot placement and i mean all 7 slots

will get the mobo just for that alone

[Hazaro]

The neon green lines serve as warnings so you don't cut yourself on the HS's.

If you go Tri SLi no PCI slots though, unless you are using single slot or WC obviously. Why haven't I realized this before

[NapalmV5]

i didnt say the slot config is perfect for everyone but it doesnt get any better for me than that config which only comes along in a blue moon

[NapalmV5]

when and where in the usa be available?

[emoners]

looks like my P35 has to go now

Andre, is the NB too close to the proc area? i mean if you would use a HR05, would you still be able to fit a TRUE?

[AndreYang]

Sorry for delay. Oskar still worked at 2000 CL7 and CL8 1T stable. I think I will post some results soon.

Lookin good man, cant wait to see some benchs on this one

[Oliver]

Looks really good and u are so true, Oscar is playing 1.84 or 1.86v 2000...

Really looking forward to see more info...

Keep testing it...

[emoners]

thought it was just the fact that this board is DDR3 that's different, but it seems the PCI slots also differ from the T2R.
