Corsair EPP Technology Interview

[Deathspawner]

http://techgage.com/review.php?id=4956

TG: One thing that enthusiast overclocker's enjoy is having the ability to tweak -all- available settings in the BIOS relating to their CPU and memory. While EPP consolidates all of these options into a single one, do you believe that any enthusiast overclocker's will ever have a need for EPP?

JB: I don’t believe experienced overclocker's will ever have a need for EPP... but I think they will certainly have a use for it. It is capable of providing a good “base camp” for ascending the difficult summit of an aggressive overclock. It also provides a guideline about how we were able to achieve aggressive performance.

This is a plug for my own site, but I believe this will be of interest to a lot of people here.

Kris,

Thanks for your comments. I will be working on implementing a print feature tonight when I get some time. I have never even thought of adding one before.. talk about clueless ;)

Kris,

Thanks for your comments. I will be working on implementing a print feature tonight when I get some time. I have never even thought of adding one before.. talk about clueless ;)Excellent! It's a bit of a hassle with all the lack of print-functions on most sites these days. Quite time-consuming it is to keep copying all pages/parts of articles into word, remove non-essentials (ads mostly, as well as some non-essential yet ink-consuming pictures (actually I always use laser printers, but I don't know what their equivalent is so I said ink)) and then manually format almost everything (can be quite a lot of small details you gotta remove or change, in addition to chosing appropriate fonts and settings for different types of text, etc). All-in-all print functions are desperately needed and just as appreciated. Will be looking forward to reading the interview on this very exciting new technology. :toast:

Wow, that is a lot of work. Do you read nothing online, or print it all off?

I added the function to view a printer friendly version, but it is not perfect. There's still the bottom ad, and page break text. I can't fix this until I rework the CMS, which will take a little while. We didn't originally plan for this functionality, or else we would have built the CMS differently.

Hope it is ok for you.

EPP samples came in Yesterday.

Very nice ram so far. PC6400C3 EPP

Built on Micron D9, crazy clocking stuff.

[Deathspawner]

Thanks Xassius for the addition!

FUGGER, I am jealous :( I won't get mine until at least next week.

Did they happen to tell you what model the chips are? D9***?

i was gonna say, micron D9 really doesn't mean a whole lot.. there's even mobile sdram in FBGA package with 'D9xxx' on the IC :p:

The current embodiment isn't bad but the possiblities behind it have a DRM nature.. which I completely Freaking hate.. SO I don't like it at all and I want it to freaking DIE :slash:

Hope it is ok for you.Works very neatly! Thanks! :thumbsup:

I read some online... but reading too much on the computer screen strains my eyes. They're quite sensitive unfortunatley... :( Anyway... will read the interview now. Again very nice of you to implement print functionality! :)

Fugger nice to hear, should we expect a review? Besides the IC's being good, do you reckon this EPP functionality is of any additional benefit to us?

nn_step, o.O?

krille, cool man glad it works for you :D

ozzimark, are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?

[FUGGER]

I have not played with the EPP to know enough to say it helps me.
