Finally, the first X58 motherboard to land in my lands happens to be from DFI. The DFI Lanparty UT X58-T3EH8 LGA1366 motherboard for Intel Core i7 processors.
Here's some photos to chew on while I set up my first Intel Core i7/X58 system

Core i7 920
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + LGA1366 Bolt Thru Kit
Installed first Core i7 920 3836A756 cpu with Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme heatsink and a LGA1366 Bolt Thru kit. For fans, using 2x 120x38mm Scythe Ultra Kaze 2000rpm fans which are rated for 87.63cfm, 32.91dba and 0.25A in push-pull configuration.
DDR3 Memory Configurations
With my 3 sets of 2x1GB G.Skill PC3-12800HZ dual channel kits, I originally thought all were Micron D9JNM but it seems only the 2 sets with consecutive serial numbers ending in 5671, 5672, 5673, 5674 are Micron D9JNM. The G.Skill set ending in 5679 and 5680 are in fact Samsung HCF0 (816)! This means 6x1GB config might not be an option, but maybe blessing in disguise as I have a 2x1GB Corsair DDR3-2133C9DF kit which is Samsung HCF0 based as well, so this means I have enough modules to at least try 3x1GB Micron D9JNM and 3x1GB Samsung HCF0! (unmatched). This should do until I get some real triple channel package kits I suppose
So to start with I'll use my 2x1GB Corsair DDR3-2133C9DF dual channel kit to get a feel for the bios settings. 2x1GB will also be faster to memtest86+ than 3x1GB
Note: The manual has neglected to explain the memory configuration combinations for single, dual and triple channel and it's same for all X58 boards.- For single and dual channel use dimm slots 2+4.
- For 3 module triple channel, dimm slots 2+4+6
- For 6 module triple channel, populate all dimm slots
