NVIDIA Claims "Tritium" Does Not Exist

[Pinnacle]

Hear no evil, see no evil, be no evil:D

Kris, yet another story with gross inaccuracies.
There is no Tritium certification process. There is no Tritium product. It is not a brand name.
Because of your story, we have partners asking us about a certification process that doesn't exist.
Please remove the story or put up a front page story that says there is no certification process and that you were incorrect in stating that one exists.
Anand, great job on starting a news site that so far, can't get its facts straight

Interesting... are nVidia/ASUS then also saying the ASUS nForce 590 M32NSLI news - or at least the pics (scans) - are fake?

IT DOES EXIST
How can he say it doesn't exist? Right here proves it. Look at the ASUS nForce 590 M32NSLI document scan somebody made.

Under Chipset it says "NVIDIA Tritium Technology certified"..maybe the document is a fake then? (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2424&commentid=29100&threshhhold=1&red=2629#comments)

This is gonna get funny

The document looks fake to me. The distorting of the title is in a different patter to that of the main text which is a dead giva away.

2 Questions:

1 - What the heck is tritium anyways and why would nvidia try to distance itself from it

2 - Why would anyone want to fake such a document?

[k0nsl]

I think its all real and that Nvidia is probably just trying to cause some discussion. Weird way of initiating discussion on one of their what's it name/brand/products, in that case...

[[XC] leviathan18]

perhaps tritium really doesnt exist is just a code name... and they are going just simply call it SLI

ahmad tritium is full feature certification, the tritium ceritification needs some parameters for mobo mannufactures allowing some OC vdimm vcore adjustments and the same for memory makers and video cards makers if you have the tritium mobo the tritium ram and the tritium video the system will oc itself to a especified profile.... so you will have some boost from using these components...

the idea is a good one but i think they will keep them as SLI

Whatever, BDR is just doing his job ;)

Nice job Bryan... you sound very mature...

Just a FYI, most of the people I talked to at NVIDIA are much more professional than that, so probably just a bad weed.

Project Tritium - Foxconn's C51XEM2AA

"Going back to the name, you might have seen the name Tritium bandied around with reference to nForce5, its overclocking ability, and maybe in relation to Tritium Certification of a system with NVIDIA using it as yet another brand. Sorry to say folks, but Tritium was simply the codename for the project to create and bring the C51XEM2AA to retail after Foxconn realised the reference board was (in their opinion) that good. Curious codename mystery resolved."

I'm liking this motherboard! Foxconn has always been a good producer in my experience.

Too bad about the active chipset cooling.

Check out the power regulation circuits, that's some heavy stuff. Also with the layout cooling these circuits is easy. Looks like this baby's got it all.

If the price is right this will be my next mobo (when I again have some money)

They say the memory chips are too close to the CPU so roasting can occur.

For me this is a big plus, closer memory means less EMI, means better overclocking, and with a phase change roasting will not be a problem.
Because the memory is close and the memory controller is integrated into the CPU the memory gets very very cold with a phase change unit on the CPU. The colder the better ;)

i have an internal sales document from a mobo manufacturer that you can cleary see tritium on it.

[Thorry]

Care to share?

Care to share?

Yes. please do

cant really show much more than this:

Are you serious dude?

Are you serious dude?


well if you dont wanna believe (from what i know tritium is just a name of a beta tech that got a newer name)... is a internal document (for sales purposes) can show it because of obvious reasons.

[Thorry]

You got any proof of this?

3 secs in Visio and I can get you that screenshot.

I could even get you a screenshot saying AM2 does support DDR3...


Also: It would seem rather strange that a internal document to be used by the sales department would contain a tech development name which is going to be changed. And if you can't show it because you are under NDA (presumably, if you work at nVidia posting what you just did would get you fired for sure) it's not an internal document is it?

Not to say it isn't true what you are saying, but I just need a bit more...

i dont work for any hw related company. I help with PR of a chilean hardware site, that is why i got the presentation.

it has this name because it is a kinda old document (febreruary) i'm not under nda but i dont want the company to get mad at me or cause them any trouble since we have great relationship.

[Ubermann]

I do belive in metro, he has no reason to make that up.

[mursaat]

I also trust metro, he's always posting useful info and faking that SS has no sense to me.

BTW, nobody noticed MNF55P SLI2 in that SS? :D
