Hello

My friend from my native forum, Hipo, has invented a
pretty interesting idea

As you know, PSU have voltage protection called a OVP.
If, for example, I/O is too high, OVP turn off PSU.
It's for some of people a uncomfortable thing, if
they want, for example, supply memory with high voltage
without limits like a OVP. Also, if I/O is high,it makes
sinusoidal voltages and, in result, system isn't stable.
To solve this problem, Hipo want to project a voltage
controller with stabilizer for memory. There are his
basic requirements :

- output voltage must be rock stable and around 3.5V-4V

- ampere load could be around 5A-8A,
(it could be higher, but cannot lesser)

- input voltage will draw from PSU's +5V or +12V
(which line,it depends on that,how high load these lines could hold)

- voltage must be regulated by potentiometer

- controller will be built with generally accessible parts

- must be inexpensive

The primary target is almost ideal stabilizing voltage,
small voltage drops could be accepted, but there can't
be any sinusoidal volage

It's all, what he wanted to say

For me, this project is like a OCZ power booster, but there
are a few primary differences - it's drawing voltage
directly from +5V(or+12V), it's more simple and more
cheaply
