So max Vcore is about 1,67V and max Vdimm is 2,85?
Then this motherboard really needs some great mods or overclockers won't buy it. :(

Nice RAM dividers though. :)

Yeah... you're probably right.
MSI's motherboards seem to do better each time. :)
The Neo4 looks like a great overclocker so far and I'm sure this motherboard will do great too.
2.85V is enough for TCCD and this board is probably compatible with OCZ's DDR Booster anyway.

Did a test run on double sided dimms BH5 (2 x 512MB) earlier with OCZ DDR Ram Booster
No problem running a Ram Booster over it, VTT track
Managed to boot into window @ 250mhz 2225 but screen freeze
But still better compared to younger brother K8N Neo2, at least managed to boot into window using double sided dimms BH5

*Need a better bios to perform*

Vcore is 1.85v total however the Vmem is too low for my liking, also this can't be the final shipping board as the Dimond is ment to have Active MOS which it clearly does not.
