I will take the train, cross the border, get the board, then shop for some german beer and sausages, and then return home ("No Sir, nothing to declare...").

Might be worth waiting till start of March & taking in Cebit as well

Overall travel time: 3 hours. Travel cost (beer and sausages not included): 16 Euros. Why am I telling you this? I don't know. Should hold the mobo im my hands in two weeks. Skoal!

Sounds like a plan

yeah sorry again sean apologized in case he didnt present what he was trying to say right and i did the same.. trust me i was shocked when he stated that when i first spoke with him!!! i couldnt believe it.. but then when he called me back we both cleared up the misunderstanding.. sean was very cool to deal with.. seems to be a good tech as well

think im going to pick up one of the foxconn x38a's as well to play with.. but i think ill use the dfi in the main system since some people are unsure of the foxconn x38 at this point.. it will just be to play around with lol

Newegg.com - DFI LP LT X38-T2R LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

also in stock at newegg.. they still are backorder though newegg must have got a shipment in just before the delays.. dfi told me in the us around feb 18th give or take

clunk or anyone who has used this mobo what iyo is the best heatsink for this mobo on air. i dont have all my water stuff yet so for now i want to get it up and running and was wondering what the best air cooler is out right now??

Still the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme as far as I know...........

Clunk · #76 30-01-2008, 21:59

The Thermalright ultra Extreme 120 is a good one, but mine would only fit on one way (as mentioned in the review).

I would say that the 90mm version would be a better bet for allround compatibility.

GSte · #77 30-01-2008, 23:18

Performance is nearly as good as well, with the 90mm one.

zfactor · #78 30-01-2008, 23:47

really?? do you think the 90 will be a bit more limiting?? remember only till i get water going

Your load temps will probably be about 2C higher is all..... there are plenty of review around though if you want to check it out, I think Anandtech have a good one.

Realistically speaking, unless your CPU is a really good one, you will be looking at **around** 3.6Ghz for G0 for 24/7 use with air cooling, but this can go either way as the CPUs do vary a lot.
