OCZ vdimm booster and me!

[mrspec3]

Fedex came today and dropped off a new toy for me to play with.

Ok here is my first run

Asus P4C800-DLX rev 2
OCZ pc3200 plat ltd edition (bh-6) 2x256MB
2.4C w/ stock cooler
9800pro
Enermax 651W psu
Vdimm set at 3.3V through booster and vdimm in bios at auto.
Timings are 2-2-2-6-8-64T-64uSec PAT On- Turbo on

Tested 20mins of memtest 86+

More to come soon.

looks like a sweet unit. can you tell us ease of use, adjusting, etc?

 

[mrspec3]

It's very simple. I've run it from 2.55V to 3.7V so far without problems. I'm going to put in some other ram and go for 4V.

Pretty much all you do is boot into the bios and set the voltage to auto then reboot and adjust the vdimm as needed by watching the little readout LED

Great results! I wish fedex came to my house this early. Are these in stores yet or are you a tester? Also does the new ATX connecter stil have sense lines on the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v line?

 

[Sentential]

mrspec3 2 things.

#1 Where did you get it?
#2 How much?

Beta tester
free + lots of work testing it

3.5Vdimm...btw this ram is only about a week old so it's not burned in a ALL

I'm a tester. The ATX line is just a pass through so it doesn't affect the sense lines at all

nice, me want

Whats up with the sticker on the heatsinks? Not a very good place for a stixker IMO. What did the sticker say? Warrenty void if removed?

Whats the temps on the ram at 245fsb?

 

[mrspec3]

No the sticker isn't really on the heatsinks. It comes around the adjuster knob, but I wanted to take a pic of it so I stuck it on the heatsinks

Ram is very cool with a slow speed 92mm fan over the ram and booster

Wow, the booster looks like it works great! I wish they would hurry up and get them into stores...

 

[HungryForHertz]

It also works ith other memory which is pretty cool.

so who's the beta tester with the NF7-s and BH-5? all these BH-6 & Intel stats are great but...

I'm sure someone has them...fear not

 

[Vio1]

i hope these things arent gonna be expensive... i think I may need to pick one of these up for my new OCZ pc3500EB that Im getting... i hear they need lots of voltage and my mobo maxes out at 2.85v. Whats the ETA on these puppies?

 

[roll+call]

ya, i'm very curious about these things, and about cost... if it's too expensive then I'll just deal w/ the mod.

 

[Joe Camel]

dosnt the other thread say "about $50" ?!!

 

[lucas81]

Yeah and euhm...with the nf7...is there a easy solution (non-mobo modding) to get the vtt mod done?

 

[ZachM]

Nope! The easiest method involves soldering a wire between two pins on the back of the mobo. That is known to be unsafe for some boards though. The other way involves cutting a trace on the back of the mobo, and soldering wires to the trace. You connect the wires to a variable resistor. The first one I would have total confidence soldering. The second one I would be worried about cutting the trace, and getting the solder to stick to the trace.

Mrspec, that looks like a nice little doodad. Nice job on the writeup and pics.

I sooooo want one of these. I have BH-5 and BH-6 RAM that want more Voltage!!!
