Calm down.
Let AndyOCZ test those nforce 2 boards cause that's what matters.
Keep us informed pls.
Holy crap, have some patience.Quote:

You guys....we will do some NF2 tests for you soon. I have an DFI LP B and the nf7s ver2...I can tell you now VTT will probably track ok on the DFI but will not on the Abit.
Andy has modules on the way to him..you have to remember we don't work at the OCZ office and as such have limited boards etc to test with.
Think this thing will work on the A7V880? Basically the same as the A7V600 and the A7V8X too.
what does "Track VTT" mean again?
it properly scales as the vdimm is increased. vtt is half vdimm from what i gather
so, is that good or bad?
BTW, I read the HW monitor chip white papers and it said to connect the Vdimm directly to the chip (which I am sure the engineers did), in MBM with 3.3 Vdimm setting, my Vdimm jumps from 3.06 to 3.26 ... so ... yea ...
he means Vref. vref should always be exactly 50% of vdimm.
the ocz tool only raises vdimm, but if the board doesnt raise vref accordingly theres almost no improvement.
so you want a board that keeps track of vtt (vref) so vref raises together with vdimm and lets you push your memory higher.
How do we figure out if our board does that? o_O
so, if our boards track vref, I understand it's good, but how exactly is it good? what does it allows us to do?
the OCZ "diagnostic tool" supplies VDIMM AND VREF if I remember correctly.
Vref is meant to be the same level as Vtt, and they are both meant to be HALF OF VDIMM for the RAM to function properly.
Vtt is not controlled by OCZ's tool because it's the terminating voltage ON THE MOTHERBOARD ITSELF, so we have to rely on the motherboard to keep Vtt at half of VDimm when we raise VDimm via this tool. It depends on how the manufacturer designed the board... for nForce DFI's do track Vtt (good) but NF7's most likely won't (not so good)... I don't know about AN7's.
vdimm, vddq, vref, vtt, vbt.. so many to remember, lol.
LOL... luckily we can sit back and let OCZ slave away in their labs. all we gota do is pug it in the right way heheheQuote:

PS, i think Vbt is the same as Vtt :confused: , so maybe you can remove one from your list
What about every other NF2. How do we find out?Quote:

Ask any modding guru you know. He/she will probably tell you.Quote:

a7n8x tracks I believe
DFI tracks
nf7 is questionable....... some have done vdimm=3.3 and said it tracked.. others say it didnt.. I wonder if the tracking on the nf7 could have to do with the "second vdd mosfet" being installed or not (some have it some dont).
chaintech(?)
epox(?)
MSI(?)
etc?
the board i'm using has currently 5 mods done: vdd, "trace-cut" vtt, vref=vtt, vdimm=3.3vio and vdimm (wth removed resistor).Quote:

after "remove-resistor" vdimm mod, vref tracks but vtt do not... so vtt mod was needed...
after "vdimm=vio" mod, vref tracks exactly but vtt is kinda off... when vdimm is set to 3.60v, vref shows 1.80v but vtt is 1.87v.
so i did "vref=vtt" md and now it's even more wierd coz both, vref and vtt are at 1.88v...
unfortunately, after "vdimm=vio" mod, vtt fluctuates a bit under heavy load...
so if this device supplies vdimm and vref the same way as "vdimm=vref" mod then it might me necessary to do "vref=vtt" mod to make them equal...
specificly for me its my sn45g (fn45 v2)
nobody knows because nobody has done any xtreme mods on it
spose i'd find out if vtt tracks or not if i did a vdimm mod on it
are you guys getting these readings (vtt, etc) with a dmm or are these mobos just special in they display these voltages?
dmm, or even just by observing the overclocking results after vDimm mod with sticks with known performance. No boards show vtt AFAIK.Quote:

To measure vtt you just need to do some voltage readings in the right spots on your mobo, but you need a vdimm mod before so you can check if the vtt tracks it all the way up or not.
When will my RAM sticks have molex connectors? ;) Now that would be easy :P
Nice product anyway.. I'll probably get one :)
When are these things gonna be available? I need one for my A7V880. The damn thing doesn't provide enough juice for me :(
still testing and being made
