Im about to pull the trigger on a DFI DK P3 board, just need to figure out the
memory support for this board . I was planning on slapping in some G.Skill 4gb
PC2 8000 . Will this work for me?
 
I need to update my sig. Anyhow, I have this board with 2x1gb sticks of GSkill HZ,(still in xp), and running just fine with my E8400 at 4005. Nice board, very stable so far with my setup.

Well , after a few months of researching and reading enough reviews! I pulled the trigger
on a new build! Im quite satisfied with what ive selected and can't wait to build this beast.

Tell me your thoughts on my new purchase.

DFI LANParty Dk P35-T2RS
E8400 CPU
Thermalright ULTRA-120 Extreme 6 Heatpipe Cooler
Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E 120MM Cooling Fan 1200RPM x 2
Evga E-GEFORCE 8800GT Superclocked 650MHZ
Antec Truepower Quattro 850W Power Supply
4 gigs of OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2

this beast gonna rock or what?
 
Looks good, as long as the heatsink fits. I have heard of a few that said certain 1's were a very tight fit.

Yeah the the heat sink is abit of a concern. plus im changing the ram out to something else.
been reading it doesnt overclock very well.
 
yeah you cant mount the thermalright 120 extreme vertically on that board without some modification to the upper most heatsink on the dfi board because its a few cm to high. it fits horizontally but it blows the air either onto your vid card or psu so be careful.

I'm gonna chop down that heatsink at some point so i can reorient the cpu heatsink and get a ram cooler.

oh and you wont be able to get ram with any funky heatsinks on it because when the thermalright is horizontally mounted it overlaps the first ram slot
 
Well thats no good then! im not one to do mods.
whats a decent heat sink thats gonna fit on that board?
 
Ninja Rev B fits it, but as I told you in PM I'm having temp issues.

Not that I care really. I can deal with 70-73C under quad prime load. *shrug*
 
The Scythe Andy Samurai Master certainly will fit. I have seen a review with the DFI LP DK P35-T2RS and that cooler. ;)
There is another good one: the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, but I'm not sure :confused:

More than likely, but I'm oh so lazy. Feel like lapping it for me? :p

Well I might just change my motherboard then! to have support for that thermalright - 120
Probably go with the ABIT p35 pro , which was my second choice.

Don't do that... you will be missing out on a very good board if you do :(
 
i like this board too i just put mine together.. im not trying to thread-jack but im after a heatsink too lol. but i dont want a massive one that will cover the ram slots or be as tall as the empire state building, im only cooling a e2180 on it for now, any ideas ?
