Nice, i like the last pic, the black front with blue leds :toast:
Look's great ! :banana:
When will it be available ?
Looks very nice! Almost want one, but my proc won't overclock much, so I guess I won't gain much with it. But it sure looks very good!
George, can you confirm what is the full voltage scale the DDR maximizer can output? I have a plan to use one of these units for graphics cards etc as well as the usual so will be requiring low volts/high current, are you able to give out that information atm?
PS
Is the VTT output is just a 50% tap of the main DDR ouput,or as I suspect, are you are running it off its own FET? if so, can you rate it's output too please :D
John
1.63V - 2.85V as for DDR2 and DDR3 and 2.8V - 4.22V as for DDR1......Quote:

Almost there.........Some details to be done and it'll be out.....:)Quote:

Hi George,
The years have now rolled by & i'm now sat here with a 1KW PC P&C Quad SLI PSU & a DFI nF4 SLI DR Expert board. I really need to know if there is still any need for your Maximiser on a System like this. That is of course, if it is ok with this Mobo.
I havn't read this thread for such a long time & the page count appears to be soaring. Really sorry for the amount of BS you have had to encompass in a vain effort to release your product to the Public. :(
Hope you are well tho & life is good for ya....Best wishes as always! :)
will this allow me to raise my ram voltages higher? cos my ASUS board tops out at 3.0V. it looks soo gd.how much? me naqd few of my mates here wud definately be interested in em. if it helps my clocks then i will buy.:):):):):):)
@Kin_Hell:
I doubt that any unmodded board available today will deliever as clean power to your RAMs as the Maximizer will. I dare to assume that it should help at least a bit on any board. The more extreme the overlock, the more it should help.
@cromwello:
Yes it will allow you to up the memory voltage to higher values than the ones available in BIOS, as long as your board is compatible.
With some Infineon rev. C-IC's performing excellent at voltages below 2.5V, the question rises: can the maximiser deliver that too? :)
1.63V - 4.22V :)Quote:

I was actually hoping for a response from George, but he would apparantly have no comments to make or he missed my question! :stick:
Thanks a lot you guys for your kind words.....:)
@ Kin_Hell.....yes you might need it as well.....a. You will not force your mobo to suplly that much power for your Rams - thas more colder mobo - b. You will not encode any "cold boot problems" as for the Rams coz mobo when firstly power up(not at reboot), it feeds the Ram modules with less voltage and afterwords with the voltage you have picked through bios....It won't start up some times due to this.....If you have BH-6/5 or UTT with 3.5Volts or so, you'll remember me.......;) c. You can change ON THE FLY the Ram voltage within Windows..... ;) and some more things too......:)
LOL... Nice work man. Love the CE mark.

Hipro WOW..............
Hipro, this is insane :woot:
George, what prices are we looking at, US dollar?
Hi all.....:)
After a lot of work, it's finally ready......some details to complete left(stickers, etc)......
ETA for EUROPE = 20 of July 2006.......:)
Price will be between 165 Euros - or - 165$ to 185$+/- (depending the store in US or Worldwide) ....The price is the cheapest we could afford.....
Remember that with just only on cheap DDR PCB, you can do it working with the DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 tech.....(Three different PCB's) One MAIN unit.....
Please retailers/resellers PM me or e-mail me for details in case I've lost your PM's.......Thank you......
ALSO searching for a reseller in Italy and in France.....;)
Thank you all guys for you patient and your kind words......:toast:
NEWS: Upcoming project is going to hit HARD the computer market early in October from hipro-tech.....I can't say what it will be, but I assure you it's going to be a "BIG BANG" for computer market......;)

john
Heya hipro, I have been following this thread for a long time during your first introduction of this product till about 4 or 5 months after. I thought this may not come to fruition, but alas, I am so happy that you have finally released it.
I see that no one has congratulated you yet, so let me be the first one to shout it at the top of my lungs:
Big Hooray! Congratulations for the job well done.
And btw, I hope that your project involves processors based on Intel® Core™!!!

haha, that's exactly what I was planning all along man :toast: Either use it to feed the GDDR on low/mid range gpus or maybe lower the voltage range a little and it will be perfect for my vgpu applications :DQuote:

hipro i luv u :p this is such an awesome product!!! I just wish I still had something I could use it with :(
sweet unit u've built there, looks uber professional.
This thing looks awesome! Great work hipro5! :toast:
As soon as i can afford one, i will go with it. :)
Oh WOW, I'm so getting me one of these little monkeys... :D

In this final version the switch exists BUT there is NO hole in the face plate.....
This hole removed after thoughts that someone who uses DDR2-3 Rams, could press this switch by it's mistake and the output voltage would climb up to 4Volts on those DDR2 modules......:D
How it works......
DDR1 = from 2.8V up to 3.6V via Dip switches and from 2.85V up to 4.22Volts via trimmer
DDR2-3 - from 1.65Volts up to 2.35Volts via dip switches and from 1.7V up to 2.85Volts via trimmer.......
There are two ways of switching it.......a.remove the face plate and b. place the tiny screwdriver through the dip switches hole.......Photos will be shown so as to be well understood.......;)

This extra DDR2 PCB (or DDR1 or DDR3) will cost him in the future about 15 to 20 Euros/$.........;)
* The "L.ED" (Limited Edition - about 30 pieces of them) will be as I said before, with blue Led displays and blue/red dual leds + Silver + Black face plate + DDR1 module + DDR2 module included.......
** There are also going to be some upgrade kits with 3 blue led displays and 3 blue/red dual leds which a user could buy and replace by himshelf (very easy) his red led displays and green/red dual leds in the future.......;)
Thank you guys...... :)
2.85v for DDR2 sounds sort of low by "Hipro5 standards" don't you think? :D :D
Seriously I'm simply awestruck by the quality and attention to detail here. :slobber:
Ha, ha, ha......You just missed a "tiny" detail here......If 2.85Volts are not enough, simply switch it for DDR1 support and you'll get from 2.8Volts up to 4.22Volts on those DDR2 ram modules.......Ain't that enough yet?.......:D :toast:Quote:

Hipro, is that waiting list you created a long ago (via PMs and other means), still valid?
Edit: never mind, obviously not, since you'll be selling them only through resellers... but will the *probable* price gauging somehow be controlled then? ;)
nicks, your not the only one ;)
Thanks a lot for your answer. :) Great work. :toast:Quote:

Incredible attention to detail. I'll buy one as soon as they're available.
I also like the name : "maximizer" :) To the max indeed :party:
How is that connected to the motherboard/ram?
:edit:
Just ignore the above ;)
I want one!! You think they will be available in Belgium?
Can it do more then 2.8v? Something like 3.0v would be great.

Looks awesome hipro.:toast:
Retail packaging and everything. Good job.
:D where's mine ???? great job hippro.
Cant wait to get mine now i can finally feed my 4400VX some serious voltage.....
I like the idea that it will be compatible with future memory slots with a simple upgrade, ddr4, ddr5? :p: :toast: Unless they drop voltage to 0.1V lol
George when i will get mine for my eshop? :D
Plus i want ddr2 pcb for my maximazer ;)
Any idea on the mobo compatible list?
Does it work on Biostar mobos?
Sorry if this is asked before..
But is it already available, and where. Or when will it be available?
I can't find it anywhere...

EDIT: You may see a small * on some "incompatible" mobos of this list.....These will be the mobos which with a small mod are working with the Maxi.......One desolder of a coil for example...... ;)
to bad this didn't come out in the heyday of bh-5!
congrats on finally getting this out hipro. it's been a long road that I honestly wasn't sure would end. I wish you the best of luck on recouping your investment!
Thanks LikwidKool.....:)Quote:

hey Hipro, do you still have your original list of people who wanted one of these? I believe I should be pretty close to the top if you do. ;)
Yes I have it.......I believe that they must be all in there, except if with the "ups and downs" of the XS forums, lost some PMs.....Quote:

Congrats Hipro !
well im definatly inline for mine
Great job my friend.It's a must tool for an ocer..
PM me when they ready I really want two. Great job. Nice to have people around like you doing things like this, this is what makes this a great forum. Thank you.

That looks sweet man. Congrats on getting it released! Major props.
Can't wait to own one :)
Ditto here, Wes.
Excellent news, Hipro.
Looking forward to being able to obtain one ( or two ). PM sent a long time ago. :) If the PMs are all saved I'm on that list.
Scott
It's double sided......by "double sided" we mean that the PCB has two sides of cooper (lines)......On this PCB the one side is "ground" (full of cooper) and the other side is where the components are soldered on......ONLY one side has componens on.....;)Quote:

ygpm George!
hipro5,
a while ago you said some parts on the P5WD2 could burn trough with the maximizer.
But at what vmem would that happen?
if i recall he said there is a simple mod that would fix the asus, as i understand it, the way the vdimm circuit is set up will burn the ddr supply mosfets regardless of voltage.
You can unsolder the coil of the Vdimm and then you're free to add the Maximizer without any fear at all.....Simple as that and you'll burn nothing on the mobo by this way.....;) .....and afterwords if you want to use the mobo without the Maxi, you resolder back this coil and you're ready......No harm at all.....:)Quote:

You can SIMPLY mod your mobo so as to work WITH the DDR Maximizer and with 4 X 1GB modules ALSO.....By this way, there will be no reason not to find the max of your 4 x 1GB modules......The Maxi could provide you clean and stable Vdimm up to REAL 130Watts of power and 160Watts peak......:D ;)
sounds fun
each maxi comes with either ddr1 or ddr2 kit, right? can the be changed on the fly without soldering whatsovever? can i just buy 2nd kit and swap them?
