DFI has long had a notable reputation within the overclocking community and their DK X48-T2RS motherboard continues the trend. Based on Intel's X48 Express and ICH9R chipsets, this ATX board is ready to host the latest LGA775 Core2 Quad and Core 2 Duo CPUs.
Up to 8GB of DDR2 1066 can be installed with dual channel support, SpeedStep and Hyper Threading technology providing increased performance. Additional performance – up to 1200 MHz – can be achieved through overclocking with DFI's Auto Boost System. A pair of PCI-Express 2.0 x16 cards can be mounted for cutting-edge graphic power with support for CrossFireX.
Get eight channels of HD sound from the Realteck ALC885 audio codec with a Bernstein audio module and full-rate lossless technology for pure audio. Connect up to six SATA devices at 3Gb/s for high-speed data transfers as well as the option for multiple RAID configurations. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows bottleneck-free connections to other network devices at broadband speeds and a half-dozen USB 2.0 ports along with a FireWire connection allow for nearly unlimited possibilities in connecting peripheral devices.

Just WOW
- Pros: DFI, Chipset heatpipe, UV sensitive components on board, BIOS indicator on board, easy reset/power switches (I used the hell out of these), many many many options in BIOS. Easy cmos clear on back (used this too :P)
One of the best X48 boards out there (if not the best)
- Cons: Many many bios options... to many... spent 4 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't get vista OR xp instillation to run... found out its a good idea to manually set your SATA HDD in the bios menu to LBA mode.... took me all night to figure out. Normally I wouldn't take one egg for this, but the auto feature apparently did not work right. Watch out for this little quirk, and your good to go
- Other Thoughts: This board is a monster.
Good, Stable, but probably not worth going to X48 for the cost
- Pros: As of the 1st week of May, a lower priced X48 than competitors. Tons of memory timing options as expected. Reset and Power switches on motherboard are great for testing before installing it in case. Limited information in user's manual - refer to website for memory timing and advanced setup. Worked great with 8GB Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5 R. Didn't require any tweaks to BIOS - just read SPD values and ran at specified timings. Tested with Server 2008x64, Vista x64/x32, and WinXP_SP3 and no issues. Irregardless, never had stability issues and PATA drives seem to work fine.
- Cons: No 1394 connector or external jack. Very bare bones kit: only 2 SATA cables, 1 FDD cable, 1 PATA cable. As other reviewer stated, they're not very flexible. The SATA ports pointing towards the front of the case are annoying and difficult to use. To insert the SATA cable i had to remove the HDD bay out of the Antec P182, then it was easy. No conceivable benefit over X38 chipsets. JMB368 driver is on floppy, but didn't always install well with Vista/Server 2008. Most video cards and definitely double width video cards will block the PCI-E X4 slot, so you most likely won't be able to use it. HD Audio jack is also poorly positioned by PCI slots. Two empty USB headers without any additional cables/external PCI covers provides so plan on having some on-hand or buying them if you need more USB ports. If your case can use all three you're covered as well. The P182 only uses one.
- Other Thoughts: Zalman CNPS9500A fit horizontally and the push buckle just barely touches the heatpipe one the side towards the front of the case. It's pretty much the only direction it will go without issues. E8400 works fine with it. Have NOT tried on-board RAID, but it's the tried and true ICH9R chipset so I wouldn't expect issues.

Good Board
- Pros: Lots of space on the board, the layout is very nice. The BIOS has lots of great features. I set up RAID0 on this MoBo with 2 250Gb WD HDD. Works great, and easy setup. This MoBo has more features then i use, but its nice to have it.
- Cons: I could not use a standard cooling fan, nor could i use the second fan that i bought. But i got a Zalman cooling fan, and it fits perfect. Love it so far. Ive had it for 6 months and NO problems. I had a question once, and sent DFI a email, and i got a responce within 15 minutes!! WOW! I will buy from this company again, and again.
- Other Thoughts: This board is not cheap, but worth the money.
Lost
- Pros: None yet
- Cons: I cant get anything to run... i tried swapping a HDD from on cpu to this and it didnt boot, so i figured i need to do a clean install of xp then to vista... everything runs fine till the installation gets to "starting windows" then beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep it just keeps going on and on, one continuos beep. the board will stay on for about 5 min then shut off. Wierd thing is no error code it reads FF. I tried switching my HDD manually to LBN but same thing. I tried looking online to see what the deal is.
- Other Thoughts: I thought my tech lvl was above average, but i guess this just set me back. WOW never been stumped like this b4. I already own a landparty DK 790FX and i love it... no problems on initial instal or at all. This will be my 6th build. well well... i guess i redeemed myself... easy fix... i went into bios and noticed cpu was running at 109degrees!!!! I fooled around a a few things and it shut off right then i new what was wrong... the heat sink was not seated properly! lol
Not the best from DFI
- Pros: Overclocks my q6600 to 3.6 on air easy with june 08 bios.
- Cons: Will not post when i put in 8 gigs of ram (4x 2gig) Just gives C1 error
- Other Thoughts: Im mad it wont post this ram. It is the OCZ 2rpr800c44gk.
I called OCZ and right now have them sending me 4 new sticks but I'm thinking it is the board cause the memory is matched correctly and I have tried the last 4 bios.
