High voltage lovin voltmaster, pics , specs , release date

[Brum Man]

Well I'll be selling my OCZ 4200-EL Platinum (I just got) for some of these babies!... : )What FSB and timings are you running those at?

[cinders]

I can only manage 246FSB at 2.5-2-2-5 stable.... 246 x 12 = 2952 is the max overclock i can get from my fx-55

I've had them both up to 290FSB at 3-4-4-8 with sandra passing, but nothing else

I think I maybe limited by the onboard memory controller of the processor... I'm going to see how I get on with this memory - I might RMA my CPU in 6 months time and hopefully get a newer week one... My current one is week 41.

[cantankerous]

my gosh. Insane. What volts to get that?

shame on you Steve, your not using OCZMemtest!

[[ r2 ]]

Some burning in :toast:

Can you do the same using 2x512 dual?

[cinders]

I don't see the point in people benchmarking 1 x 512Mb stick... 512Mb in a system ain't enough, 1Gb is minimum really... So why benchmark one 512Mb stick when it has no "real-life" purpose?... (well in my opinion)

[Holst]

Ill bench using one 256meg stick if I get a higher 3dmark score, and I do..

Depends on what your after, high benches or usefull PC.

I allways stick another stick of ram in once im done with 3dmark.

I run my PC with 512mb all the time. I have the option to run 768 (3x256) but the system is fater with 512 and bigger overclock, certainly no slower anyway.
Maybe once I move to a fater graphics card ill notice more of a difference as I will be able to use bigger textures.

I guess that makes sense, I've never tried running one stick alone!... When I get this new ram I'm going to bench using 1 stick, post all my scores (bragging rights!, ha ha!) then go back to using both sticks for normal use.

[Holst]

Im trying to get top ten for 9800pro with only watercooling, so every point helps at the moment. Going to one stick gained my 5fsb, and although I didnt get loads of points as 256 is slower than 512. Running one 512 for 3dmark would definately be better than two (for single channel 754 that is) your FX needs 2 sticks for dual channel.

[cinders]

I could still run it single-channel with one Dimm at a much higher FSB though... Can't I?...

[I_Am_ToO_SeXy]

Max FSB on intel RIG 2*512 with 3,4 volts???

i'm gonna order a pair of GB

OMG amazing memory

OCZ >>>>>

[cinders]

Aye - Roll on Wednesday when it's in stock!

[SteveOCZ]

3.35V as before. My CPU doesn't run well with 2 sticks of ram no matter what I use I can't get over 250FSB with a gig of ram. But as you saw nutcase was able to do 270 with 2x512 2-2-2- timings :)

[TSD]

Well what are those chips you people think? It behaves pretty much like good old BH-5 by all means... And now Mushkin released LvlII Black series again..
Could it be that the BH-5 production back in business..?

Good work OCZ!

[texuspete00]

Insta-BAN! :D ;)

Just kidding.... joke from a few pages back. They don't want to say as someone else could copy them. You'll probably find out in due time like when mysteriously there are more voltage lovers on the market.

No It means Mushkin can use the TCCD chips to replace RMA BH-5 chips and sell the bh-5 chips for a profit.

OCZ isnt using the bh-5 chips but may do a limeted edition in the same way mushkin has

[rockman]

Any idea how this stuff will compare to TCCD 280 @ 2.5, 3, 3, X to this stuff 265 @ 2, 2, 2, X? Thanks a lot.

[THunDA]

Wow thats some amazing ram.. me wants :D

[ryanpgroovy]

What a busy thread,

Just so you guys all know , I am trying to figure out whats wrong with the prices in europe .

[TEDY]

ryan price in europe usually goes this way:

price in USA $ = price in EU €...but 1€ = 1.32$....so 32% higher by default + margain of resellers/pc stores

wanna know price for OCZ EL REV2 in my country SLOVENIJA?

430-440$ for a pair!!!!

can you do something about it ?

[Hardwarefreak]

btw. it's cheaper to buy the memory from an US-online store.

I and 2 friends ordered them from excaliberpc and we have to pay about 225,- €/per person(with taxes and custom and shipment)

The strong Euro is really nice :)

[ryanpgroovy]

There are things we can do about it , and we will .

I want to note I did find a really good store in The UK that seems to price things more reasonably

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/home/

[Hardwarefreak]

United Kingdom have pounds no euro. If you pay things from there you have a bad exchange rate and have to pay the same costs of shipment as from USA.

btw. you get rams faster from USA

@
I don't want to displease you but that's economy - European companies are nervous, because they can't export their products (because it's to expensive in the USA), the only advantage is that imports are cheaper.

Edit:
Two year ago 1 € was just 0.88$
the US products were much more expensive

[agor]

could you do a few benches with looser timings and fsb above 280 (939 dual channel please :) ?

[cantankerous]

It seems the NFII tests aren't going to happen. Perhaps someone here with an NFII who purchases these sticks could run a few tests?

[TEDY]

i'll get them asap excalberpc gets them

[cantankerous]

hopefully they will do the same or better than your BH sticks. If so I am thinking of selling my BH-6 for these.

[ryanpgroovy]

I will try and find a NF 2 that will handle the voltage , but try and remeber NF2 with 2x512 was never really a ram problem but instead a memory controller problem, so if you have BH-5 I am not sure upgrading to these is the right path


I will give it a whirl though

[saaya]

those ridiculously low dollar prices are making hardware so cheap to import now :D
i love it! :D

[SteveOCZ]

could you do a few benches with looser timings and fsb above 280 (939 dual channel please :) ?

They don't clock higher with looser timings so there isn't much point.

[ryanpgroovy]

I should have some NF 2 results at high voltage for you guys early next week unless someone else gets to it first

[cantankerous]

Thanks a lot Ryan. I appreciate it. I understand about the chipset being limited however I am still curious. Second of all I am wanting to go 939 but am not happy with the current board selection. As soon as DFI releases their board I may jump the gun. I figured having the ram now would save me down the road as long as they can at least keep up to my 2 x 512mb kit on my current board until then. I am worried of yields changing and getting crappier chips or no chips down the road if things change.

yes it's @2T
1T max is 240-245mhz with 2x512mb

[cantankerous]

yack 240-245 isn't nearly as good was I was hoping for. When these actually hit the market I hope to see lots of postings on performance. Again it seems like a lot inconsistency on what these chips can do.

hmmm just noticed.... this was on a NF3 150 board? Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Talking about ridicules prices.. in Iceland 2x512mb OCZ 3700EB costed 650$..
But all computer prices here are 50% higher here.. So high taxes and so on :|

So I do most of my business with the USA :)

[I_Am_ToO_SeXy]

most likely not too good, they seem to suck at intel :rolleyes:

unfortunately all the rams i saw max out on an AMD rig

Netburst Architecture can't push the rams to their max :\

Can anyone who see stores that have decent prices on other items in europe email them to me, so I can have one of our sales force talk to them , We realy want to get OCZ prices in europe down to something reasonable

my email is ryan@ocztechnology.com , list list the contact info of the stores , I probably wont have time to reply to all the emails

The modules are pretty consistent at the moment, your seeing a difference on boards as boards overclock the ram, some boards are better than others.

On the NF2 front i doubt these will do any better if you but 2x512 as the chipset as mentioned is the issue. We are considering 256 modules so you NF2 lovers can play also but you have to remember 256's are a limited market.

[RocKer]

Here (http://www.bytesatwork.be/shop/_toplogo/main.html) in Belgium the have the VX serie to,1x512mb=155€,2x512mb=299€,thats a nice price isn'it :toast: .

[cantankerous]

Thanks for the response bigtoe. Appreciate it. I am not wanting to stick NFII forever. I only have it cause I don't wany other board but the DFI 939 so until it's available I will stick with what I have. I was thinking of getting the ram early in case yields change and down the road they don't clock as well. As long as they can do what my BH-6 can do I won't lose any speed until the mean time.

If modules are pretty consistent at the moment then it may be worth getting some. By consistent do you mean anyone with a good clocking board should be able to get 260+ 2-2-2 like you, ryan, eric and steve were showing on an amd platform?

[ryanpgroovy]

that price in belgium is still a bit high , We expect these to be at around 250 US dollars for 1gb

[TEDY]

1€ = 1.32$
x€ = 250$
-------------

x = 250/1.32 = 190€ .....should be max 250€ in EU not 300€ !!!!!!

300*1.32 = 400$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing EUROPE

[Arnar]

So what kind of overclock can we expect on a retail 1gb kit, using the OCZ Booster?

260mhz 2225?

[Den Leiw]

everybody should buy from US online stores so european stores will be forced to lower their price

HAHAHAHAHAHA


just ordered this ram + ocz booster YAY

[RocKer]

that price in belgium is still a bit high , We expect these to be at around 250 US dollars for 1gb
Can you do something about that high price?

Because that be great if it came down to 230/250€,then i'll buy direct 1gig off it :banana: .

Or can i buy direct from OCZ office in Belgium or US.

[Entity_Razer]

right with you Rocker :) (belgian also :D)

I'd so buy that ram then (1gig)
because my Apacer 3200 (512MB) well it kinda...

SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
i was looking at patriot ram a few days ago but if the prices drop here i'm belgium I'm so getting that ram (+ booster off course)

let's see

1. divorce your wife
2. dump your girlfriend
3. give up your 1st, 2nd and 3rd born children
4. castrate yourself

Is a 2x512mb VX kit cheaper than the 2x512mb Gold EL LE PC4400 kt? I really want 250mhz CL2.2.2.5 on my s754, and aside from BH-5 RAM, these look like the only OCZ RAM that can deliever that.

I have forgotten all about the Platinum Rev2(will not even match my old Geil, it would seem, by far), as these look like the future OCZ product to get for me. Gonna get an OCZ Booster in a few days, so I don't have to upping that 3.3v line too much(+5%).

When are these RAM gonna be available for your OCZ friendly stores in Denmark?

Ryanpgroove/Bigtoe - These have been tested on s754 platforms, right, and work perfectly? DFI NF3 250gb? Even in a 2x512mb setup? Will give 250mhz CL2.2.2.5 T1 with high voltage under booster?

I am so excited about these RAM. I should have looked at this thread when it was started.

Is it possible for you to ship directly to a certain Danish store? They have alot OCZ products in advance. They agreed to trade the Gold PC4400, so if I can trade clean to these ones, I will be in heaven :)

EDIT: Just saw that some of the high benches with CL2.2.2.5 was made on a s754 platform. Damn I hope these ones work with my setup. I am ecstatic over this OCZ product.

I know you OCZ guys are busy and all, but is there a chance I could send the PC4400 directly to you and trade them clean for these XV RAM? Just wondering :)

i've burned my EBs 40H /w 3,3-3,4 volts /w a tornado blowing on them

now they RoXXxX :)

Come on Eva I thought you would have been on A64 by now ;)

or are you trying to beat WXchaser ??? LOL

[Ol!ver]

Anyone tried these on an Abit AV8? Wanna know if they work, seeing as the board is so picky with ram.

my AMD64 are doing temporarily server duties until i rebuild my file server with my nice Raidcore 4852 8 port SATA raid controller :D

That am i'm seeing how far burn in can improve the ram aiming for 250-260mhz 3-2-2-6/8 on P4C800-E before moving to DFI hehe

Alright guys , I scaned a look at the yeild results from the batch testing of the first large production run ,

looks like on 875 most of these should pass 2.5-2-2 at 240 , and higher on A64 , soryy it took me so long to get you any idea on 875 results


of course your mileage may vary , but not bad for Pc-3200 with a decent price

Yes, please do A64 soon :)

Are you going to use your 3700+ / DFI 250gb setup? Please do, as much of yours and my hardware are the same. Can't wait for results. Are there PC3200 and PC4xxx kits, or only PC3200 kits?

OCZ rulezzz :p:

[cantankerous]

so ryan, what are the expected results from this scanned batch on a64 if the intel platform is 240?

[ryanpgroovy]

As far as I can tell we only test them in house to 2-2-2 240 on a64 @ 3.3 volts , looks like the ones that fail at that get put into a batch for restesting for a value product

Seems as eva says these also need to be burned in .

[conrad.maranan]

Ryan.

I'm gonna post up 280MHz @ 2-2-2-10 with 3.6VDIMM on Thursday. If not, expect a PM from me regarding the OCZ RMA protocol. ;)

Okay, my bad :D

Ryanpgroove - Will there be an option besides the PC3200 kit?

[ryanpgroovy]

We might do 256s , besides that not likely

[Orker]

Any idea when these will be available in Australia? i hate waited longer than everyone else :(

[Hardwarefreak]

These oc-results are really impressive. I am looking forward receiving this memory soon. I hope my memory will obtain the same results ;)



Besides, this is the link to the reseller in Austria (we've just one reseller :( )

OCZ PC3200 Rev. - 2 2x512MB

I hope you can do something against it!

[conrad.maranan]

I doubt the OCZ guys are going to confirm this, but it sure is nice to speculate. :D

ProMOS 5B Chips + Brainpower PCB = OCZ PC-3200EL Gold VX (http://www.promos.com.tw/website/html/english/img/product/selection_guide.pdf)

If this is the case, there are a few other manufacturers that have already been using these voltage-loving chips on their modules.

EDIT:
If you recently purchased a set of PQI Turbo (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-141-152&depa=1) modules, I'd like to know if you were able to run in the 240MHz to 260MHz range with 3.3VDIMM or more.

[Nanobot]

Huh...The only ICs i see in the link that are rated for 3.3 are SDR chips @143-166Mhz ?!!

[conrad.maranan]

You'll have to read this (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=346286) to learn more.

[iboomalot]

how much difference would the new VX ram be compared to my EB if both were ran at 3.2v+ ???

reason I ask right now at 3-3-2 the EB does OK on my asus which is voltage limited but if I went to a NEO plat. mobo and OCZ booster I could put more voltage to my EB and lower timings to 3-2-2 and up my FSB into the 260-270 mhz range, maybe even 290mhz **crosses fingers**

so at 260-270 mhz will the VX be able to hit 2-2-2 ?? and will lowering the CAS from 3 to 2 make that large a difference???

thanks for your reply.

I have PQI PC3200 Turbo modules, when I had them in my Max3, I noticed they were more stable at 3.2v then anything. I'm getting a DDR booster tomorrow or Wednesday, so I'll do some more testing then.

Please check to see the highest frequency you can run 2-2-2-x and at what voltage. I'm still going to purchase the VX modules tomorrow, but if the PQIs are running the same chips, I'm picking up a couple of gigs and stashing them considering they're priced very nice. :D

[Nanobot]

Looks like the cat's out of the bag :rolleyes:

All of this because the two dimples on the IC gave them away...

THeres is no way you will get those ram settings with a neo2 plat.. If you are referring to the same mobo as mine then let it be known.. this board doesnt like EB

Im deciding on whether to get Rev2 or VX.. prolly VX :)

I would like to know if Promos does 240-250 2-2-2 @ 3.3 volts also.

Any one with OCZ Premier series been hitting those speeds ;-)

Ran some memtest until I had the new hdd but not at all those timings.. just burning in more or less.

I can get benches at 255 and maybe punch a couple through at 260 or close.. but thats gonna be tight ;)

1.5-2-2-0 sure gives nice unbuffered scores.

Ok, so you say no.

Anyone listing the next candidate so that Ryan or Tony say no again...

... and so on...

... until we find out the last remaining chip which will be the right one :D

[Tek]

It could be anything(obviously not, but it could be unknown chips, or some new technology deployed) and OCZ probably relabels them. If I had to see this with OCZ' eyes, I wouldn't say what they were, even if the guess was partly or completely true, as Gskill and alot others would do the same within asap. I would keep it a secret, but that is just me.

I think, these RAM will hit the OC retail marked with force of one those old tested USSR 65MT H-bombs. BH-5 got a contender and a very fine one for AMD64.

Dastardly chips regardless. What is the full product code for these RAM?(for reference with retailer in Denmark)

[SteveOCZ]

Well seems they don't believe us when we tell them it's not promos. But once some people spend their money on the stuff they will know. But if you all think they are promos look no further than our premier ram...:D

[Brum Man]

Just wondering, if you had some VX working at say 250 at 2-2-2-x, would that give an equivilant banwidth/superpi time etc... if you were running RAM at a higher FSB, say 270/280 but at slacker timings like 3-3-3-x? Just wondering how much the tighther timings compensate for the not quite as high FSB?

Also, when you say 'burning in', do you simply mean running the RAM under constant pressure, say in memtest, for long periods of time?

Also, I'm deffo getting some of this stuff, be running it on my DFI NF2 till the new year, then I'll be making the jump to 64bit! Looking forward to it!

[iboomalot]

hey steve (or others), in DUAL channel could you post VX everest scores at 250mhz

don't need a screenie just #s would be fine.

read = 7000
write = 2500
Lat = 43ns
timings = 2-11-13-2-2-5-2-2-1-2 (per A64 tweaker)
^^^^^^^^^^example^^^^^^^^^^

something along those lines would be appreciated.

[conrad.maranan]

Good job, eXcaliberPC.com (http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_info.php?products_id=4343). Thanks for letting the anxiety build up deep within me, only to discover that you won't be selling the VX until 12/03/04. I've been refreshing their page every 30 minutes since 8:00am and this is what I get. Bummer. :cussing:

[ryanpgroovy]

they must have already sold out lol.

[conrad.maranan]

Impossible. I've been monitoring their site since 8:00am. I'm checking out a few other spots that have it in stock.

EDIT:
What other retailer has these in stock besides eXcaliberPC and ComputerHQ? I'm tempted to purchase from ComputerHQ, but at $18.00 more + steeper shipping charges, I'm thinking twice.

hehe i meant a link to where they are selling the VX and the Booster together
and as far as that link above my post goes, i dont speak that language so if it is selling the two as a combo i cant tell :p:

[cuddles]

Ahh, they were only talking about the combo as a suggestion to OCZ, which I think they need to jump on for sure. Combo > buying both components seperately.

[ocmyface]

the whole point of the VX is to sell the booster, its dumb to NOT make a combo

my favorite combo would be 1 gb VX + booster + 120mm delta fan for 300 shipped :D

[Playful_Buffalo]

^the type of people who buy this RAM are probably vmodded or already own a booster so an extra $30-$40 for them is a waste

[ocmyface]

thats why the combo is optional...

also, im getting this RAM tomorrow and im not vmodded nor do i own a booster yet

[cuddles]

I'd take a 1GB + Booster combo in seconds (After I get paid that is).

Not to sidetrack the thread or anything, but on a S939 FX-53, this or BH5? (K8N Neo2 Plat).

Good I will wait to hear results from you guys to decide on this. Might be better than TCCD I have if I can get decently low timing around 250-270FSB range.

[trans am]

These should be awesome for 754 rigs where high speeds is an issue with 2x512 and 939 cpu's that have a hard time running tccd at high speeds due to mem controller.

[Brum Man]

Just wanted to jump in to say that OCZ, I love you guys now. Before I got heavy into hardware a few months ago I only knew of Corsair and Kingston, and after a while I heard of OCZ, but never took note really. Now that I've been browsing hardware forums more and such and seeing you guys everywhere, just wanted to say that I don't plan on buying any other brand of RAM (excluding BH5, I mean, common now, it's BH5 :p: ).

One thing and only thing I am worried about now is... do you guys plan to speed bin this and making something else again? I hated when that happened with 3200 EL plat rev2... (4200EL Plat took all the good potential out). And if you do, it would be nice for XS members to know a little ahead of time so they can hold off on purchase instead of jumping blindly in when time comes for lower binned 3200VX.

you would hope they improve on each model wouldn't you ? :)

[starblazer]

Wow they sold out in 10 mins? Luckily I ordered right away once it came in stock. phew

[conrad.maranan]

I'll be honest with you, folks. For some reason, purchasing these VX modules was a very stressful event for me. I've vested interest in this RAM since Ryan first introduced them to us. When I was a kid, I remember how my Mom promised to take me to the swapmeet on Saturday morning to purchase my Lionbot aka Voltron. I couldn't sleep the night prior to that Saturday morning. I had the same exact feeling today. Peep my posts from earlier today. I've been up since 7:00am anticipating eXcaliberPC's release of the VX. You have no idea how I felt when the price I saw on the site was at $284.00 - and I felt like puking when I read what trans_am wrote about only 10 kits being in stock.

So, it's been a roller coaster ride today. I have the day off on Friday and the FedEx homie always knocks on my door before 10:00am. Sorry, wife. I'm spending quality time with my PC this weekend. Here's $284.07. Go shopping with the girls and leave me in peace. :D

[cuddles]

Rofl. I wish my girlfriend was that understanding :(

[trans am]

lmao, conrad your sig sig still makes me laugh! Sorry for being off topic boys, when thursday hits and everyone has their VX we'll be marching to a different tune.

[Orker]

Ordered my VX today..should receive it in a couple of days.. will report back :)

EDIT: when i placed my order it said "STOCK: Yes"

30min later it said NO

Did i make it??

EDIT 2: I dont think it will matter

* Next shipment will arrive on Dec. 1, 2004 (WED)

Its only a days difference waiting..thank god

[cuddles]

Should start a new 'Post your VX Results here!' thread at that time :)

If you placed an order and it went through, I'd assume it worked. If you paid for it, it did.

[arj]

Damn, I just woke up and they've all been snapped up! :mad:

[Orker]

trans am if your a regular customer maybe you could tell me what (Accounting OK) means on the order status page? thx

Damn, I just woke up and they've all been snapped up! :mad:

Its all good... They are getting more in stock tomoz :)

[aCidbAbY]

I'm a very good excaliber customer. Lets just say I'm down...

Welcome to XS Brum Man! You're going to find out pretty soon that this forum is 2nd to none. I am very anxious to run these against my ocz 4200 el platinum. My neo2 will be here Thursday. I got my trusty ocz ddr booster ready for ACTION!

Hey acidbaby from EOCF.. Im justinj :)


I placed my order 4hrs ago.. i hope i got one of the first 10

[conrad.maranan]

Accounting OK means that the order was processed and all credit card/bank verifications have been completed. Now you can just sit back and wait for your tracking number.

I was nervous, and just to make sure everything was cool, I checked my online banking statement to ensure that eXcaliberPC debited my account.

EDIT:
trans am listed the 10 lucky recipients here (http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=615650&postcount=445).

ocmyface why are you getting rid of your ultra?

[ocmyface]

[trans am]

Well if I was the only one that got email from fedex then it probably won't happen tonight. I put in the notes secton when I placed the order to please ship tonight for thurs. delivery. Amazing what people will do if you ask nicely.

[ocmyface]

wish id of thought of that, i was in such a hurry to order it before they sold out that i didnt even look twice before hitting checkout, hope i didnt put some stupid random address like my school :stick:

[aCidbAbY]

[RocKer]

from where rocker ?
From here (http://www.bytesatwork.be/shop/_toplogo/main.html) ,thats in Belgium hè:).

[conrad.maranan]

It doesn't look like I'll be getting a tracking number tonight. I put in the notes:
How the hell are you gonna bump up your price $25.00 in a matter of 30 minutes, and then drop it back down to what it was originally supposed to be? Ya'll are some trippin' ### mofos! Tryin' to play wit my emotions and all. Fo' rilla. Don't be messin' wit my scrilla. So now they're going to retaliate by not shipping until next Monday and, of course, I'm going to receive the RAM that failed OCZ's speed binning process. I'm just lucky like that. :D

Yeh not good :(

Im checking my order status every 30min its hectic

[TEDY]

transam what you gonna do with PDP XL ?

[SteveOCZ]

Guys don't forget that if you want to run high voltages into any ram even this stuff you MUST have airflow over the ram and even more so if you're using a booster.

Cool ram = happy and fast ram :D

[cuddles]

Damn you for forcing me to somehow magically mount a fan over my RAM with no case modding experience and absolutely no idea on how to do so!

Well actually if you like memory errors then don't use a fan or good ventilation. The choice is yours. :)

Actually the Booster can have issues when overheated, so cool it as Steve said. ;)

[Tek]

Even I knew that. Why I mounted a 12cm fan 2 inches from the RAM. Gotta love the Lian Li V series for their upside down approach to everything. My RAM had been smoked ages ago if I hadn't. Cool to touch though :D

Going to buy OCZ Booster in a few hours, to max my ??? RAM :)

Twas only messing around !

Anyways, I shan't be getting any until I've seen results on an Abit AV8.

California is still asleep im guessing so we might see some progress soon :)

[SteveOCZ]

Here is a good option for cooling ram and other system parts
http://www.bitbenderforums.com/imaginasian/Zalman_Mod/zalman.htm

[Orker]

I just put a 120mm fan right above my ram

[arj]

Guys, I have a hypothetical question here. Let say I have a VX and a booster running at 3.5v that is cooled by an 8cm fan placed on top of it. If the fan was accidently moved and the RAM and booster overheats, which hardware will be KIA? Booster, RAM, mobo, or all of them?
