Blah... but I want it now! :frag:
Any word if it might work on the A7V880 though? If it works on like the A7N8X, A7V8X, or A7V600 then it most likely will work on the 880 :D

I wish I had all the answers. Some boards will work well. Others will not benefit. Some memory will love the extra voltage and other types do not. We are compiling all of the data.
It will be a motherboard/memory compatabilty list.
At least an ETA for when I can buy it?
I can't believe I just sat here and read 17 pages, lol. Sounds like a great product! Great price as well. Even guys like me who have done alot of mods would rather just plug and play. Not only is it quicker (not having to look up vdimm mod for particular board, etc.), but my hands are always a little shaky when I get that iron close to a new mobo.
I think we are at least a few weeks away from receiving the production run of the units. I will update as a I know.
I'm glad i saw this thread!
I was wondering would all ABIT motherboards have a problem with Vtt tracking....
I own an IS7 - and was wondering if i would still have to do a Vtt mode if i use OCZ module?
OCZ guys why havnt u told the peeps here that this thing wont work with DFI nforce2 boards?
mong

Where did YOU get this information from?
why wouldn't the module work with DFI Boards?

If u opened your eyes a little whilst browsing the other forum you would have seen it right as rain
:rolleyes:
So please go and take a look and u will see that I got my information from a post made by a OCZ rep.

so.. gonna give us a link to that statement or not?
yet they are testing on them?
are you sure that they meant ALL DFI boards (hopefully the NF2 were exluded from that statement) ...
Well let me put the record straight here.
Andy was making a statement about the 875 and maybe the 865 DFI boards as the board has onboard OVP and cuts out at 3.2Vdimm...this doesn't mean the booster won't work, it means it works to 3.2Vdimm and then the board shuts off.
We are testing on NF2 and you will see results soon.Both Andy and and myself just got final shipping units so we are testing along side the guys back at the office.
I can't see an issue with OVP on the NF2 as i have seen peeps running 4vdimm with modded boards and modded 3.3V lines.
Lastly, VTT...there is no way we are going to be able to tell you all what boards work the VTT correctly and what don't. If you were Vdimm modding your board you would have to look into VTT anyway so if you plan to use the booster you are still going to have to share info so worrd gets about what needs a mod and what doesn't. i will say on boards that only need a vdimm mod you will probably not need a VTT mod. on boards that are known to have Vdimm and VTT issues you will need a VTT mod with the booster.
Hope this clears things up for you all.
Thanks bigtoe, was just worrying about that a few hours ago :)
thx bigtoe, one question though ... does the UI/LPB "track" VTT? (if u know). ... I am really anxious to get your product :D
Well thanxs for clearing that up, maybe next time statements such as the one posted can be avoided
AS for said link i didnt say I would provide one, but seeing as you asked it is here
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...5&pagenumber=2
When these things do come out We will stickie a thread in the forums for what works and what does not etc.
The only thing I see as a problem for dual ch boards is the clearance on the business side of the booster. I'm looking at an Asus A8V right now and the only possibility of fit is using the 2 & 4 slost for the ram and #1 for the booster, but there is a 1/2" high cap about an 1/8" past the outer edge of the #1 ram slot. So the gold heatsinks will have to clear this to fit. On a board with all 4 slots packed together, then it will have to go in the top slot and the ram in the lower 2. Some boards are picky about whcih "dual" slots to use, so it will be case by case.
i'm going to be testing the booster next week on some boards, so I'll let you know how it fits, but I have a feeling that lower sink will be a bit in the way. maybe it can be changed out or modded if necesaary.
What are the "J" board rev. #'s? It located just above the 5th pci slot. i just got a board today from a distributer and it is a 45MG0L0153 Rev 1.02. Haven't tested it yet, but I'm going to try with a beta 1006 bios altered for locks.
edit: I see the "J's are also 1.02. My NB is 0419CD.
Few... that took 2 hours of careful reading. Old memories came back which took at least 5-10 mins of recollection with the fiasco of bigtoe, hawk, hipro... (was it at this board or abxzone?) Anyways, I LIKE IT! I am getting to the point where I want the nice overclocks with less hassle stage. Fully knowing I can get better H2O setup up for the money, I decided to cheat with Koolance Exos :)
Instead of taking out the board, soldering, etc, I will probably go this route if my memory can benefit more from the extra voltage and clean power. I expect potential gain from this product probably is better on crappier memory (% wise) than really nice ones (tolerance level) -> probably left for Xs here to find out.
Here is my question:
Testing any Samsung PCB memories? Is the problem limited to IC7 or AI7 as well? Another list of testing options :)
It was at ABXzone and it all revolved around a preproduction P4C800e and a pre production bios that was allowing higher than 166fsb clocks with a 3.06 but with no actual increase of speed.
Hipro proved the cpu was still at a low clock but then said Hawk was a scammer..issue was it was a bios that was the scammer as i have seen MANY timews since.Examples.
MSI 875 on the inquirer running 2-2-2-5 at ddr500+with Hynic D43..I mailed the inquirer to advise the bios was fooling them.
P4E Mobiles..i have one.I have hit 6GHZ with this cpu air cooled!!!!! No it reads all wrong as you all know so again its a bios issue.
865PE MSI's new wonder prescott board with mobiles doubles the fsb you set in bios, so to run 300fsb you set 150fsb :confused:
There are many others if you search that show bios can do a lot of weird things...in Hawks case it was showing an overclock that actually wasn't happening..nothing more..no scam...just a beta bios playing tricks.I have ALL early P4C bios files here from Asus and i mean ALL and quite a few play weird and wonderful tricks with boards..some actually will kill boards if the Vcore is set to low.
So judge for yourself..i know it was a beta bios and nothing more.
excellent
I doubt many have noticed this but it looks infact like the DFI users are SOL... .even with the NFII boards.

Tony himself confirmed it will end up damaging the booster and/or board if used.
I dunno about you but im real dissapointed.
