those 3 heatsinks look awfully alot like the ones that are bundled with Vantec Copper Iceberq chipset coolers ? :)Quote:

They were what i had lying around m8..nothing more..
looks awesome man, i think u should make it a wee bit more compact. extend the lin to the ATX plugin as some boards have em on the other side of the board from the dimm slots.
very nice. estimated time before retail ?
:slobber:
Any estimation for the final price?
Final design is done so...what you see on the final version will probably be what you get.
Price not to sure on yet....should be finalised in a few days.
One other thing, its worth cooling the unit. Ram takes a LOT of current and high volts just add to the heat.An 80mm quiet fan is all you need blowing cool air on it to keep it cool..nothing special.
Are you looking for "Beta testers"? :D I'd pick up the shipping costs. ;)
when you say you were able to push the ram further (262 over 256@2.85) how much extra volt are we talking about?Quote:

Its 4.2V max at the mo but things may change..we will see.
Results for me were i was able to hit 262fsb EB@2.5-2-2-5 on the P4C800E where i got 3-2-2-5 at 256 with 2.85V..so i maxed my dimms here.
I had OVER ddr600 with 4400beta at 3.4V and my BH5 gained 6fsb over their last max on unmodded boards.
secondly, boards are gonna show up soon with 3.3v again and i'm just curious, is this products selling point that it will allow 4.0v etc or is it that it will give you a much cleaner volt to your ram and thus make it possible to get higher clocks with same volts, for example 3.2v
Cheers
What mobos are coming out a stock 3.3v ? :D
The idea is both , but if you have for example the ASUS P4C800 it already produces pretty clean power and the filtering alone will have very little effect.
:toast:
i guarantee you the A64 DFI boards will allow you 3.3v, just gotta hold on a while.... :banana:
Question on the ic7 compatibility.. just for clarification does the vtt still need to be modded if this is used in order for it to track correctly, or does this take care of that as well? Thanks :)

Well that basically defeats the purpose of buying it, Im not gonna mod my own board so if I send it to hell fire or someone I can just have them do the other mods too....Quote:

Vtt mod is easy on the IC7..then just add the dimm to wind up the vdimm ;)
This is a MUCH better implimentation than that other board that came out that required that the ram be plugged into it. This board is basicly just like how we do the straight 3.3V line mod except this one uses the front of the board as opposed to the rear.
I'll be buying alot of them for all of my machines.
Hmm well i suppose it depends on cost, but I have to give you OCZ guys credit your coming out with a lot of good high end products now...Quote:

Yeah, hows it work?
Does this help us do anything or than be lazy or does it do more? You hinted on filtering etc. I wanna know if it can save the lives of A64's!
I am also curious of how it works? is it fooling the ramslots or something?
Great to see more innovations from you guys though!
So it will be out soon? Awesome :D Does it draw off the 3.3V still or the 5V?
Its sending voltage to pins 1, 7 and 33 IIRC. Those are the pins that the ram gets its electricity from.
Theres no fooling or tricks done, its just overiding. I'm almost sure that if you set the mobo to put out 2.7V and you set this to put out 2.5V the ram would still be getting 2.7V.
Seeing as it is using 4-pin molexes for power I would assume 12v...Quote:

Kinda of a drawback is the fact that if you have 4 slots in a dual channel config, you will be stuck with only 2 useable slots. Otherwise, looks cool!
However, VDIMM mods are usually so easy that unless this costs reasonable cheap - why would people buy it :) At least, people here, I mean.
because they dont want to vmod their board for warrant reasons, but maybe run 4x512 everyday and just 2x256 or 2x512 benching and isntalling/removing a vmod for everyday/benching use can sometimes be tricky (not all ram likes 3.3v+ ;) )? :D
I like the idea behind it.
Dam that is sweet, when will OCZ officially launch on thier website?
