DFI has announced that they will be releasing a new motherboard, targeted at the enthusiast market, and based on the X48 and ICH10R chipsets.
Although the announcement refers to both UT and LT versions of the board, claiming that the UT version will feature digital PWM and solid capacitors, on top of the features of the LT board, this shouldn't be the case upon release. Both boards should only differ in the cooling mechanism used and some other extra items packaged, leaving the analog PWM design to the DK series.
For now memory support is limited DDR3 memory, for both models, as the T3R implies.
The board pictured is referred to as the UT X48-T3R and shows a blurred heatpipe cooler, the new "heat freezer", built in partnership with Thermalright.
The UT version of the board will also feature dual Gigabit Ethernet using chips from Marvell, while the LT board should feature only one.
Other features include the Bernstein audio module and official support for the 1600MHz FSB, as provided by the X48 chipset.
No information yet on the physical arrangement of the three PCI-Express 2.0 slots but it probably can be split into a single x16 slot and dual x8 slots.
The board will be shown at CeBit, next week; more details should be unveiled by then.
