SpudMaster what cooling you gonna use with your board? I'm also looking to buy some myself, but not sure which

the watercooling bits im waiting on is just an ek block i got from ebay for my 3870x2 and some tubing so nothing relating to the board. Im gonna try the stock cooler first to see how that works n if things run hot i'll probably put a swiftech mcw30 or similar on the NB.

Reason im waiting is cos my water block should arrive soon n will be easier to install new board with all my water cooling out of the way

Whoa, that X48 board looks sick.

As tempting as it is, I need to keep convincing myself that I don't need one

Just ordered my DFI X48 board... ETA Monday.

just got my DFI LP DK P35-T2RS yesterday, love it. took me 4 times to get a good one,
when i opened the box in the shop the chipset heatsinks were snapped off.
got a good one eventualy, time to play.....

Likewise my DFI LT X48 T2R is coming on monday, god I hope the tuniq tower fits...

Well, what dya think?

I'm considering reintroducing a limited range of high end DFI boards, just discussing the finer points of the deal at the moment

Can't wait.

I have to say despite the florecent colours i'm impressed by DFI's layout and cooling.

No half kilo of heatpipes that do sod all but get in the way and sensibly located ports/slots (although the top 16x slot looks a little close to the RAM clips). Looks to be one of cheaper X48's too!

What's the difference between the UT and LT X48 T2R? If you guys are getting these from where i think you are getting them then that is a really, really good price for a "enthusiast" X48 board.

anybody fitting a tuniq tower, you will have to mod the tuniq slightly to fit.
found this on the net.

doubt you would fit a thermalright ultra 120 extreme on that board otherwise I might consider one

Buster · 29 Mar 2008 at 21:06

wow thats a big cooler, looks like a block of flats lol...me wants one...

spicypixel · 29 Mar 2008 at 21:14

Is that a tuniq tower mod for all DFI's? or the P35 only? cause my X48 is coming monday and i'll be damned if I have to saw stuff off my cooler

Mine will be cooled with Mips watercooling blocks

They do look cool clone.

You going to put them in their own loop?

Hopefully in a month or so ill have some pretty special blocks of my own for my board.

clone · 29 Mar 2008 at 21:34

Will be running 2 loops so i will need to work out what will run on what one.

Buster · 29 Mar 2008 at 21:44

not sure spicypixel, think it's for the DFI P35DK-T2RS.
thats the board in his setup at the bottom.

I think the only difference is the UT comes with the fancy transpiper heatpipe cooling for the nb & sb.

Colossus · 29 Mar 2008 at 23:30

From my understanding, the UT has the expantion slots in a more CF-X friendly order and the thermalright heatpipe thing with the lower profile and heatpipes sticking out the back. Have not heard anything else though.

Also from what i've seen the TRUE will fit the LT when set horizontaly. Makes for good airflow through the NB cooler too.
