Got my booster today :D Of course my A7V880 is going back for RMA AGAIN so all I have to use it my 8RDA and it works absolutely perfectly. Too bad this is a 1.1 with the A3 nb, otherwise I'd see how far this BH5 can go :D.

my 8rda+ did 235fsb stock.... i think its a C1 nb not sure. i MIGHT consider investing in a pair of these if it can let me get some wicked fsb. especially once i get my A64.

wait.. when you buy one do you get 2?

or am i misunderstanding something.

from what im getting i pay ~$50 for the one booster that plugs into my dimm slot, and my ram plugs into that. or have i really missed something.:rolleyes:

edit: saaya explained it to me. i misunderstood how it worked.

if someone wants to answer anyway somebody may be able to learn from it.

you pay for one booster, it uses a dimm and your ram installs normally into the mobo. Only one is needed ;)

$50... kinda useless for me as i use a DFI. ohwell.. ill just wait till i have my A64.

so this will eliminate teh A64 vdimm death issue?

a3 aint bad, those love huge vdd with good cooling!I got a spare 8RDA+ to play with... gonna try soon with my 0351 IQYHA :cool:

How far can you push the vdd without it blowing up in my face? :D

I've had it up to 2.15 but still couldn't pass 241... will 2.5 be possible and if so will it help me? :D

man, the highest vdd i've seen for a3 stepping was 2.27v... more than this, the chance of success is too low...
