Will My MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Have Enough To Power Mushkin Redline XP4000?

[nForce SLi]

Hi,

I am lookin to get some good memory, I like to OC alot. I got a 3000xp @ 2.86ghz right now with Geil pc3500 at 221 FSB. Will I be able to crank some more out of the 3000 with the Redline memory or will I have to by the DDR Booster? I hear this memory is some hott stuff, runs 2-2-2-6 with no problem at 550 FSB.

Help me out

THANKS! :)

You will need a booster. MSI doesnt seem to like having higher voltage then 2.85v on most of their boards.

I'm pretty sure all MSI nForce s939 boards accept the DDR Booster readily and also all are easy to vDIMM = 3.3v line

this sucks I just did look up on OCZ site that they do not support my mobo. Why is this? It says the DFI Nf4 SLi is supported but not mine.
Heres wat is says....

What PSU do you have?

I see 3 options:

1) You go TCCD based modules.
2) Do a VIO mod(ie 3.3v=memory) and mod your PSU to higher than standard 3.3v
3) buy a OCZ booster (personally i hate this method).

Also DDR550 is quite difficult with these on MSI board. 275mhz will maybe require 3.7v-3.8v. While your MSI also source the vdimm from 3.3v rail it isn't really safe to run your 3.3v rail @3.7v 24/7.

Get Geil or OCZ or Corsair with TCCD and that should see you to 275+, as it makes sense considering MSI has 2.85V only.
