DDR Maximizer on it's way......More Volts on our Rams....

[hipro5]

I've posted this on my local forum here in Hellas since 1-8-2004 (or 8-1-2004)....... :)

I've started this as a poll to our local forum IF they wanted me to manufacture it or not........The votes (over 94%) were YES.......... :D

I was on vacations and I came yesterday so........as ppl asked , I started to design it's cirquit......... ;)

It will be called "DDR Maximizer diagnostic tool" ;)

Here's the link of it.........You have to translate it somehow........ :D

L I N K ....... (http://www.thelab.gr/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5838)

It will have THREE Led Displays for MORE accurate Voltage reading......ex. 3.47Volts ..... Those led displays will be ON TOP of the PCB and not on it's side , so as the reading of the volts will be easier(don't have to put our heads into the computer's box to read it)...... ;)

Trimmer of 25 turns so as the Voltage trimming will be MORE accurate and "softer"....... ;)

PLUS.......It will have a FRONT PANEL for "anytime trimming"......Not to have our computer's box always open...... ;)

This front panel is been designed for diskette bay and later on for a 5.25 bay........

Here's how the front panel of the DDR Maximizer looks........

http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/Temp/DDR1_png.png

Front panel will be optional.......

As you can see there are three led displays , two dip switches(12 and 4) and a trimmer of 25 turns........

The dip swiches(tiny switches on-off) are for the voltage as the trimmer is........When ALL of the dip switches are OFF then the voltage will start from 2.80Volts( I don't think that is nessesary for lower voltage starting).........When the first dip switch is ON , the voltage will be 2.85Volts......When we put AND the second dip switch to ON , then the voltage will be 2.90Volts......When we put AND the third dip switch to ON , then the voltage will be 2.95Volts and so on......The voltage WITH the dip switches will go up to 3.60Volts(for more "secure" reasons) and with the trimmer will be up to 4Volts for more "dangerous" overclocking....... :D

This is the front panel of the DDR Maximizer.........How it looks???......I also would like some input of you guys of WHAT you would like to have on it for better and easier use........Thanks a lot....... :D :toast:

[bias_hjorth]

Drooling already!!!! I am sure its gonna be a blast
Watch out OCz ;)

*edit looks great.. seems to have so many adjustments :slobber:


edit 2: although trimmer could be a tad larger :)

[echow87]

Nice :slobber:

[Cranox]

How much would it cost ??

It'll cost +/- 50 Euros the main board and I haven't figure yet the price for the front panel which will be optional.......

[V I P E R]

hipro5 - you are the man :).
I'm glad that I live only 100 km. from you. When you will be ready with a test sample?

I think that the trimmer is OK timming it with a small screw driver coz if it's biger, it will be out of the front panel and we may "by mistake" touch it somehow and the volts go up suddenly.......

Cool initiative Hipro5, i will follow this thread closely!

I have some BH-5 begging for more voltage. :D

[AcEmAsTr]

This may(Will) look better than the ocz booster, and may even be better, estimated price yet?

i'll be over in crete september 19th, do i get a free sample? :D

What mobo do you have?........

[eva2000]

Guess competition is good for us all :D

1 European Currency = 1.7138 AUD
50 European Currency = 85.69 AUD

[LilGator]

About $60USD not bad :)

I'm assuming this will be something to go in the ram slots like OCZs Booster ? And since this can have trimmers and adjustments on the front panel, maybe the acutually part that goes in the ram slot will be smaller (thinner) and be more compatable with boards that it won't fit in ?

[Lithan]

Wow... Damn good thing front panel is optional. Can you imagine a family member wondering "what this knob does"?

[-=TriX=-]

Epox 4PCA3+, damn good board, gets me 300+ fsb on my 2.4 w/ air and average voltages

[WesM63]

Damn, Hipro :D

Your pulling back all the stops huh;)

I can't wait to have some Hipro BH-5 and Hipro DDR maximizer. :D

Good work!

I had an EPOX 4PCA3+.........When I was picking 3.3Volts for the Ram , it was REAL 3.4Volts..........Not a bad mobo.......BUT in high frequency it was about 150MHz lower than ABIT and ASUS.......Do not know why.......

[masterofpuppets]

You should get Powered By HiPro case stickers made :)

[novagamer]

That looks fantastic, if you could price the whole thing (bay controller + maximizer) to around US $75 or so it would probably be a fantastic seller. The 'extreme' options are very nice, and the more precise display is very welcome:) Good job, I can't wait to try one out:toast:

[NapalmV5]

I'd go for one but damn i gotta upgrade from this PIII, baby AT mobo, voodoo banshee...

[masterofpuppets]

The device looks nice. I will definately get one if they ever go retail. Oh BTW, I quickly made a powered by hipro5 logo :).

[LorD_Kvadd]

Good looking thing!! :D Damn I want one! My board maxes out @ 2,9V and that isn't enough!

Can't you send a bunch of them to Sweden? It's so cold here and we could use the extra warmt from mems @ 4V :D :rolleyes: ;)
just kidding, except that you can send one or two ;) :D

Good luck :)

[Reflex1]

any pix of it yet?

[hallowen]

Will It Work With an ASUS A8V?

[s e t h]

i used a crocodile clip :D

edit: but i did score the ocz ddr booster so i don't have to mod any future motherboards :D

[EnJoY]

Will it be slimmer than the OCZ Booster? The current problem with the booster is that on A64 boards, you have to put it in slot 1 to fit if you ahve more than one ram stick. This is a problem for people who's motherboards like the ram to be in slot 1 and then either 2 or 3. :)

The point is, it'd be cool if your DDR Maximizer fit in slot 3 on A64 boards when the other two slots have ram in them.

[LilGator]

Hmmm, Windows, or Linux...

[Jeff]

Looking good Hipro!!! :up:

From the looks of it, you look to have a completely different design then the currently available product. I don't think OCZ can patent DIMM slots. :lol:

Keep up the good work! :toast: If you ever need another "beta" tester... ;)

[novagamer]

Anyway, I like this design a lot so here's hoping you can get at least a few of these made, I definately want one:toast:

It'll fit ANY board ......on ANY slot.........TOO slim......... ;) :D

[hipro5]

U P D A T E info........ :D

After a LOT of thought, I came to this conclusion:

1. This panel with an ON – ON switch will show us AND the VTT we have…At the ON position we will be able to see on the display the Vmem (Vdimm) and on the “other” ON position, we will be able to see our VTT voltage so as to know exactly what we have…The accuracy of the Vmem and VTT will be +/- 1%…So we will see the exact voltages we feed our rams despite the mobos hardware monitor that will show us fluctuations.

2. I think that the Front Panel MUST be AND the main circuit as well…Why???…Because the technology runs FAST…what do I mean about that???…Intel has just lunched the DDR2 technology. So a different design…AMD with their new upcoming CPUs with the 250MHz fsb (Intel too) will follow this technology as for my thoughts…So in a few months we WILL need a NEW DDR Maximizer for the DDR2 Rams…and what we will do???…Through away ours and buy a new one for the DDR2 Rams…
NO…I’ll design it IN the front panel so as in the near feature we will have to buy ONLY the PCB for the Ram slots with ONLY A FEW amount of money and NOT a brand new DDR2 Maximizer (loosing our money)…Unplug the PCB for the DDR and plug the PCB for the DDR2…That easy…A jumper will be in the main circuit for the DDR and the DDR2 changes…

Now I want your help…shall I design it for 3.5 bay, for 5.25 bay OR for both of them???…

Thanks…
:D :toast:

[aoc007]

Wow it looks perfect! And anodized to match my lian li! (I guess I'll throw out the floppy, haha no room with it) You already have my order ;) If it was about $100 with the front panel thatd be great.:)

I agree with Lithan, we dont want accidental voltage increases, maybe a "hold" dip switch like on a mp3 player to disable voltage controls when on?

Also maybe you could make some easy mod kit to do the VTT Tracking mod simly and quickly? I'm not sure how youd do this I dont have experience modding, but thatd be great for guys like me with IC7s etc

Oh and I'd beta test too for sure ;) but I'm all the way in the US.

I tried your modded IC7 22 bios works great got me the extra 5mhz fsb / 80mhz cpu to hit 4Ghz without a voltage change, but my 3d03 went down about ~300pts with the same clocks.

Did you go to the opening ceremony of the games? I watched it, very very extravagant, I havnt watched it before but wow.

[STEvil]

HiPro - How about 3.5 bay with brackets and faceplate compatabile with 5.25?

You have to be carefull, though, because the device will not be compatable with every board on the market. If the OCZ booster doesnt work on it with a "stock" board (no removed circuitry) then its quite likely that no booster of any style will work on the board at all.

[Spec3]

You can't controll VTT from the dimm slot. You sill need to mod the board the regular way :(

I'm running a Ga-k8n pro and my IC7 should be here in a few days. Also might be purchasing the epox nf3 250 or dfi nf3 250 sometime in the near future. I'd be a happy beta tester. I'd pay shipping over here of course.


I do like your idea of mounting the system in a bay and just using the dimm slot as a feed. I actually suggested someone build a device like this back when I first heard about the temp issues of the booster. Though more for the purpose of not putting a bunch of heat right next to my ram.

Any idea how efficient this device will be?

[saaya]

your booster tracks vtt? nice :)

It's not a "booster" saaya.......It's a "Maximizer"......It maximizes everything I guess...... ;) :D

[Millyons]

hehe Im close in Serbia Id beta test it :), right now AN7 but soon some A64 :)

[bias_hjorth]

got a 8kda3+ which dont work with the Booster.. Would be honered to test if it works with Maximizer

[Boyne7]

id love to beta test with my shuttle an50r :) , that definately sound like an awesome piece of hardware ur making

[Jeff]

Wow... seems like there still is a market for this sort of thing even with one product already out. ;)

[Millyons]

... what about implementing some kind of lock (like on some Antec cases) so that you need a key to access it, would be kinda nice for us that have kids that could find it interesting to play with :)

[Lithan]

A lock, while useful would be bulky and pricey. There is an easier solution.

http://www.asecuritydepot.com/82.jpg

Works on everything from computers, to your liquor cabinet, to your gun collection.

[Millyons]

LOL

im serious though,, it might be bulky, i doubt pricey, but it could save someones ram

[masterofpuppets]

If you can ship it internationally for a beta test, I would try it out. If you can't I will just wait until you get them retail. Sounds even better than last time. :)

[Lithan]

A quality lock and key (as in not one of those plastic pink diary locks) will probably run 4-9$.

Yeah, I agree a lock would be nice. But maybe as an optional front panel replacement. Not everyone will need them, and it will cause a noticable price increase.

[aoc007]

How did you resolve the VTT issue?

[saaya]

he probably just added circuits that split the newly generated vdimm on the maximizer in half and feed it to the vtt pins... easy as that.

correct me if im wrong :D

[Kalway]

Hipro needs to move to America so he can start a business and not pay outrageous taxes and actually be successful. :D

[Blind_GI]

Wow I would defintitley test this out on my IC7-Max3 if you need me. I'v always wanted to do the VTT mod but was too lazy to do so (I even got the circuit to do so).

Anyways if you need someone to test this on a IC7-Max3 then I will be more then happy too (so long as its befroe aug. 27, im going away to school then).

Not quite right......Remember that we have to "deal" with the terminator resistors too for the VTT so as our Ram works...... ;)

[saaya]

hmmm true, i forgot about that.

[Frozendeath]

Sounds awsome, if it tracks vtt on an ic7-g without vtt mod (well cutting a trace is my only issue) Then count me in I'll by one I'll test one I'll advertise them I'll bow down to the master hipro5 for saving my depressed undervolted ocz 3700 eb from the evil 2.8 volt cap :slobber:

I hope so much people whanting to write a review is really to help him and others, and not your wallet....

[3rd-Dimension]

id pay cash right now if this product was available review or not. I own a couple of ic7 systems and have always wanted a way to boost the crappy 2.8 vdimm to feed the volts to all the ram i use. Even if i review one or even two I would still probably get round 1 or 2 more for the 4 systems with this board I have.

[tennvols_69]

i got a msi k8n neo -fsr i would beta test this if you wanted. i will also be in suda bay in the next 6 months.

And who were saying that it was some copie?:D. That is just too much different, and have much more benefits over the DDR booster... Of course, if it works as said;), but I have no doubt about it.

[persivore]

I've looked at the DIMM pinout, and I can only see one pin which carries Vtt. Will this pin be capable of carrying enough current without causing damage to the RAM slot/motherboard? I guess that the fact that only one pin is put on the DIMM slot could indicate that the pin is not required to carry a high current. Looks good btw.

As you can see there have been placed THREE more swiches ON-ON and three DUAL leds..... :D

The switch between the Led Displays and the dipswitches is for : PUSH ON = DDR2 support - PUSH OFF("on" in real) = DDR support..... ;)

The dual led below it will show the configuration of it......PUSH ON = Red , PUSH OFF = green.......

The other switch below the dipswitches(left one) , is for VTT ON and OFF......For mobos which can track the VTT , should be OFF and for mobos which can't support VTT(ex. ABIT IC7) should be ON......You can leave it to ON with no harm at all even for mobos which can track the VTT.......

The middle dual led is RED when we have PUSHED ON the VTT switch and green when this switch is in OFF......

The right switch (next to trimmer) is for : When ON = dip swiches working - When OFF = Trimmer working.....

Another dual led is placed for indicating that.....When ON = green for dip swiches (aka = safe :) ) and when OFF = red (aka = danger :) )......

Voltaged via dip switches for DDR are :

2.85 - 2.90 - 2.95 - 3.00 - 3.05 - 3.10 - 3.15 - 3.20 - 3.25 - 3.30 - 3.35 - 3.40 - 3.45 - 3.50 - 3.55 - 3.60

Voltaged via dip switches for DDR2 are :

2.25 - 2.30 - 2.35 - 2.40 - 2.45 - 2.50 - 2.55 - 2.60 - 2.65 - 2.70 - 2.75 - 2.80 - 2.85 - 2.90 - 2.95 - 3.00

Voltaged via trimmer for DDR are maxed out at 4.1Vmem(Vdimm)

Voltaged via trimmer for DDR2 are maxed out at 3.5Vmem(Vdimm)

How it looks???........DON'T ask me to add anything else on it coz it's just "full".......no spare place on the PCB anymore...... :D

hipro, what about for abit kv8/ pro mobos with only 2 dimm slots? i wonder if theres another way to interface with dimm voltage

[saaya]

looks good hipro!

what about the 5.2" panel? got it ready?

i think you should make it an extra part that doesnt automatically come with it since not all people need it and would like to save money.

[cetoole]

hipro, do you have the voltage stabilization that the OCZ booster features to provide "cleaner" power to the RAM?

[Jeff]

Not to answer for Hipro because he's way ahead of me in the intelligence area but I'd assume his power is filtered so it could be said(if he wanted to) that the voltage of his device is "cleaner". :shrug:

(power filters are not anything new... in fact they date back to before the big bang) ;)

[hipro5]

Originally posted by cetoole

No I have NOT built their cirquit on it.......It's completely different.......All I can say is that the Maximizer is full of big electrolytic capacitors and RF chokes (rounded ferrite beds with coil - ex. as mobo's chokes for VCore) ALL over the circuit....Stabilization though is another thing than filltering...Stabilization is for the voltage not to drop or going up and down with the loads and filltering(that matters a lot too) , is for this voltage to be "clean" without any spikes e.t.c..... ;)

[skate2snow]

A little bit more, and you could do a kind of adapter that goes in the AGP slot, and you connect your Video Card on it, and you can control the voltage:D. But I doubt it whould be possible since you need to regulate the voltage from the IC....

[saaya]

you mean vgpu and vddr? impossible to control from the agp slot, except for very old cards like g2mx maybe wich dont have self regulating circuits.

Nice!!!1 so i would plug into the dimm pins of onto fets?
hipro your just a regular dude thats turning into a overclocking company!!!!

[jinu117]

Liking how this is progressing so far. Now here is the big Q.
Does it use -5v rail...? OCZ DDR booster doesn't work with PSU without it and any 12v ATX v2.0 I've seen doesn't carry this... -_-;
Something to consider defiitely.

[EDIT] Found out they use it only for display... hopefully you are not using -5v line for anything :P

hipro, if you can just leave some small spikes on the maximizer where people can solder or plug their cables to. then people can solder cables or use those grabbers to connect the maximizer to the boards without even soldering! and they dont lose a memory slot!

[ns_ripper]

any updates or progressions so far? :)

NO adaptors for DDR Maximizer needed.......It feeds through a regular 4 pin conector through PSU as our CD Roms , Hard disk , e.t.c. , are feeded......No worries about that.......It "produces" it's own -5Volts from an internal oscilator.... ;)

[hipro5]

I have already figured about that......Someone who knows what he is doing , can cut the conector that goes from front panel to the DDR PCB cirquit and solder those cables at some particular spots on mobo......With this way we have all of our Ram banks free......With this way also , we can built a "Multicontroler" that could control : VAGP , Vmem , VTT , Vchip , e.t.c. .... ;) :D

Grabbers won't help as for the Rams coz at 3.6Vmem(Vdimm) a SINGLE 256MB with 8 chips on board and at full load , it needs at least 3 - 3.5 Amps of power(current).... So if you have a 2 x 512MB Rams and 3.6Volts , you'll need at least 12 Amps of power....I think that no grabber could handle such a current....So the only way is the cables to be soldered on mobo.....

[hipro5]

NOICE work my greek man.
soldering is no problem for me, im just worried, are there any chip or mo'fets on mobo thqat could be heatsinked? i mean vdimm mosfets? is it a good idea for me to get some good ramsinks and just coat my board in them, on the importtant places of course.
also, what does vagp gain?

[skate2snow]

I just posted it because....... I dont actually know why.....:D.

Hipro, something could be done for the no soldering..... You could start some kind of plastic "blocks", and make holes in it that will fit the pins of DDR slot backside, and make wires go to it, and could sell it the same way the Font panel is sold....

[Boyne7]

im definately gonna want one of these maximizers when you finally release them. hopefully it'll work with that new DFI nf3 250gb board.

[P4rthen0n]

Hipro5, don't forget to test hardly the DFI Lanparty mobos cos that OVP issue that ocurred with the ocz booster.

IF a mobo has an OVP (Over Power Protection) , there's nothing to be done about it with any external cirquits........As a matter of fact I was trying to mod it(OVP) on my ABIT IC7 - the OVP of the VAGP = 2 Volts sharp - and I blew it up.......Bye bye my good old mobo.....I will always love you... :(

wow that looks so professional. well done. i cant wait for this. hey could u pussh the ddr1 button for ddr2 ram, that would be dangerous it could send 3xv through ur ddr2 and fry it.
hey p4renthernon you can just cut the leg of one of the vdimm mosfets and it will stop the ovp, theres a mod like that for the 8rda+ for high vcore. i dont no anything about the lanprty but you could google it

[hipro5]

Thanks guys....... :toast:

There will be no problem with the switches coz in case that someone wants to change something via a switch , he has to put a tiny screw driver into a hole(tiny too) so as to puch them on or off......NOTHING off all these components are "outside" the front panel......Just be patient and you'll see...... ;)

[100]

Wow, I've only just joined this thread.

Good luck to you Hipro!

This is a brilliant idea, I'd be delighted to test it on SKT370 :D and a IC7MAX3 and P4C800ED.

wow that looks sweet! ...very handy LEDs

when will u have both done? (first samples).

[jb2cool]

Sorry to sound really stupid about this but what attatment needs to be done to the motherboard?

I gather there will ne a DIMM insert but will there need to be other soldering done??

[jinu117]

Manufacture it definitely :)
In the mean time, sell it to the people on this forum while manufacturing process gets lined up :)
Unless price is cost prohibitive (which I doubt you will be charging too much on R&D cost... eheheh), I will definitely buy few from you :) BTW, was wondering if there is enough space to get 12v, 5v, 3v readings if that is all possible :) Considering the look and size of it, seems possible that simple jumper wiring and some switch to read different volt setup could help people reading voltages :). I should just hack the one of multimeter and put switch on it some time and leave it on front panel so I can check various voltages without having to open up the darned case :P

This can be done BUT only for the 12 and 5 Volts lines not the 3.3V.......Coz we will then have to involve with too much cables , thing that we don't want to......I can change the switch for the Vmem(Vdimm) - VTT and put a button instead with an IC that could show us : 12V - 5V - Vdimm - VTT ...

Yummy :)
One thing I was thinking was that old AT power connector lead jumper... nothing more than just a wire with flat pin to connect to orange line there for 3.3v :P Have molex connected to ground, 12, 5, 3.3v line to measure using multimeter outside case but it would be nice to utilize the panel since it is already there :) (not to mention cool factor ;))

P.S. 1. The mainboard is capable of an output 30A current which can supply 2 x PC's with 2 x 512MB Rams = 4 x 512MB Rams.....

2. The aluminium covers(what you see) of the front panel will be in black and silver - Lian Lee - colors and the user would be able to replace them by himshelf...... ;) :)

so Hipro5 you saying that this maximer thing will automatically track vtt on boards like the IC7 and future poor VTT tracking boards too? That would be sweet if its true.

VI/O or Vref
1/2 vdimm

[Bungo]

I havent really followed this up but when will this product be shopable? aproxmitly...

[iddqd]

VI/O or Vref
1/2 vdimm
vI/O... let's see - it depends on the 3.3 line (so if you mod that, vtt will go up)... most I/O devices run off of it, parallel ports, etc. How does it help in overclocking?

[Super Nade]

HiPro,
We were talking abt this @ OCF and lets say you have overwhelming support.
I'm really happy that it would work with the ASUS A8V which has this damn OVP.

HiPro... something entered my mind. I have feeling there will be potential price gouging wars. Is there anyway you can control it some how if there seem to be trend? I know most of time when you make cool stuff like this, you are in to profit us and yourself (well... not most of time I've seen :)) I have a feeling retailers might play too hard ball of gouging if there are only 1-2 for US.

[Lufusol]

Looks like I had the same idea as MasterOfPuppets, as soon as I saw the "powered by hipro5" post I started up PS and began dabbling... I kind of hit a brick wall, but so as not to waste electrons, here's a cropped shrunken framed plaque type version of my effort. I tried adding a bunch of things like a stronger 5 and PCB traces and such but nothing jived so I gave up... :p:

I hope this thing costs less than $100. I'm tired of Abit's 2.8v ceiling but I'm also tired of stupid-expensive RAM, paying an extra $100 to get more out of the not-so-stupid-expensive ram kinda defeats the purpose.

Oh but it's awesome nonetheless. Absolutely awesome, make no mistake.

Hipro, PM and I'd like to add to it that i'll also be putting it up on www.entity-project.be/gameyard then. It's our games department but I'm asking the scripter to make a hardware section so I can post my XS news there (overclocks I find here, RAM news (like TCCD going out of production) and things like your maximizer :))

BTW neat thing is, if I buy a DDR BOOSTER from OCZ here I'll pay 50 euros for it, if I get your maximizer it'll be a better bang for buck I think

[Entity_Razer]

Sory for the shameless kick but Hipro, I noticed you where on today, would you mind checking your PM box? I still have one message here from you that is unconfirmed :) (my message to you)

Thank in advance

A small week ago he said in 3 weeks so now it would be 2 weeks left :)

I'm anciusly awaiting mine also so be patient people :p:

No situman I won't be hogginhg the shipment, I'm not a shop I'm just a reseller :p:

and at the moment I only buy when orderd. So I don't stock up or something :)

rest asure, there'll be enough to go around :p:

[b|gf|sh]

When hipro5 starts to sell these is it gonna be a pre-order/first-come-first-served system like how cathar sells his waterblocks, or is he trying to get resellers to stock them?

(Looks hardcore btw hipro5, me wants one badly ;) )

I think the ones who pre orderd will come first nomatter what but I also think he'll have enough in stock to spread the wealth :)

BTW even UK peopel can order from me :p:

But if you say theres likely to be enough to go around then thats alright, and thanks for the offer of ordering from you too, will keep that in mind.

Has hipro5 compiled a list of compatible motherboards yet, or will that be compiled once people start to recieve them?

the betatesting is in progress (and has been for a while now I believe) and I do think a motherboard compatibility list excists on hipros computer.

I'll ask him if I mail'm or maybe he'll beat me to it and respond about it here :)

i wonder if it is compatible with the new NF4 boards.

[b|gf|sh]

I'm really interested to see if it'll work with boards that the booster doesn't (i.e. Epox boards that use 5v line for vDimm, and some DFI boards that kill the booster).

i wonder if it is compatible with the new NF4 boards.If too many motherboard manufactures follow DFI’s lead with the NF4 boards the DDR Maximizer risks being very quickly obsolete, less of cause the DDR Maximizer delivers superior cleanness... ;)

with the booster, i can pick up the AN8 regulkar or fatality. It seems to be very stable and its only downfall is the low vdimm.

i really dont think hes taken preordersHipro5 confirmed my (pre)order in early November :)

[Entity_Razer]

As I said, all people from belgium, netherlands, france and germany and Uk can pre-order/order via me :)

[situman]

No US? and why not? :)

Maybe because we're arseholes :p: Hipro5 told me "about three weeks" on Feb. 2nd so, while I'm sure he wasn't just blowing smoke, it's taking a little longer than planned. I wouldn't count on any estimates given until he himself posts back here.

oh, didnt know about the preorders..

i was also told "3 weeks" but give the man time, im sure it will be well worth the wait.

Runs the Maximizer on my A8N SLI dlx?
The DDRBosster doesnt run.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've taken matters into my own hands. Forget the Maximizer. Make way for.. the Vaporizer! :D
