Another site that may or may not have them in stock??
EASTLUNA.COM $58 w/out shipping.
These are the ones that may need some revising for A64 boards due to layout.... even though it might otherwise be compatible? Correct?
I just orderd from EastLuna.
they have no resellerrating, so hopefully they are a good place.
if not, well, my bank has excellent buyer protection, even for online purchases ;)
UPDATE:
Out of stock at east luna too.
item is backorderd.
it tells you in your order confirmation email.
I emaild customer support for thier website, and recieved a very informative and honest email back from them, and most suprisingly, I recieved the reply in about 10 minutes.
I decieded to leave my order with them, as they appear to be a good website so far to deal with.
but the final shipping, tells all.
dammit... all sold out...everywhere. Anyone know where they are in stock?
let the hunt begin
call ocz and find out where they are shipping to:
408-733-8400
This is EastLuna.com and we just got an e-mail back from OCZ saying,
"We will have product available shortly, our initial shipment was very limited in qty so we sent it to the review sites and just a few pieces to some of our resellers. We will have good stock in two weeks."
So, we, or any other online store, should have them in stock in about two weeks.
Welcome to XS, East Luna, and thanx for the info. :toast:
Welcome to the forums and thank you for the update!Quote:

Got this info from another forum member, FrozenCPU has them for $59, 38 left in stock as of this post :)
Sweet thanks for the link :D
good to see a product reseller here ;)
No problem fellas. That's what we're hear for, to get you the goods, and to help you get those ever so important shipping dates.
We've changed our store model for our web site recently. We are now only going to sell the latest and the greatest products. Scanners and ink cartridges are not what we’re about. We’re going to start moving focus away from those items. We are only going to post products that are for high end computer enthusiast and gamers. So, if you need info on any brand spankin' new items, just ask us about it, we might know a thing or two about its release. We've been computer enthusiast ourselves for years. My brother is a regular poster in this forum as well.
Back in stock at ExcaliberPC! Just ordered me a couple of them. But they have jacked up the prices to 59 bucks. :(
Hmm, I can't make up my mind. The mobo compatibility chart says they only tested up to 3.4v on an AN7. You can already give it 3.2v in the BIOS, so it's not that much of a boost. :rolleyes: Still, I don't know how much the power filtering helps, and I don't know if that max they listed is the "safe" max or what. :confused:
wow its awesome that you are posting hereQuote:

i stumbled across your site when i was searching for BH5 for my list. your site had some good stuff but i was hesitant to order because of no reseller rating. now that ur posting on this forum i think ill be more comfortable ordering from you guys :)
Any special offer for XtremeSystems.org forums ;)Quote:

I don't understand this voltmod device. The only selling point I can see for it is that it supposedly offers a cleaner Vdimm. (Which is easily claimed and extremely difficult to disprove). Otherwise you are paying close to $70 for a volt mod.
1. If you are pushing your ram hard enough to need this and you don't have a quality PSU anyway, you're a fool.
2. You can voltmod yourself for ~2$ or get it done (along with any voltmods you want) for 15-25$
3. Reusability wont be that high as ddr2 will arrive eventually.
4. If you can't handle a soldering iron, you really aren't qualified to be putting 3.9v through your ram.
5. It voids your mobo and ram warranty just as much as a vmod would.
6. If what I'm hearing is right, it puts out quite a lot of heat. Quite simply, that sounds bad to me.
I see one use for it. If you don't want to run 24/7 high vdimm, and have a lot of systems that you just want to play around with high vdimm on.
Once price goes down to $40>, then I can see a use for it (simply to be lazy). But laziness just isn't worth $60 plus shipping to me.
I suppose my finger isn't on the pulse of Xtreme, but I don't see what the frenzy is about.
The advantages are obvious. No need to mod. It won't void your warranty because there are no physical mods. It allows for up to 3.9v, instead of the usual 3.3v. No need to mod the PSU. Not to mention you can use it in more than one mobo. It's almost like a memory upgrade.
Well, I think one of the nice things is that you don't have to get your 3.3v rail up to 3.8v (loaded) just to run 3.6v through your ram. Not to mention it makes it easy to adjust when using different types of ram as in my case and quick testing multiple boards as many on this forum have. I think $60-70 is worth the convenience.
I haven't bought the unit yet just because I have 2 concerns: 1) HEAT (although my bh-5 does pretty good, the 3700eb runs hot enough already and doesn't need any help) 2) If filling the extra slot in the mobo creates any kind of issue that limits FSB - mobo's can get really flaky about that kind of stuff.
"It allows for up to 3.9v, instead of the usual 3.3v."
Usual 3.3v? I ran 3.6v just fine for months.
"No need to mod the PSU."
A screwdriver and two minutes isn't a mod, it's an adjustment.
"Not to mention you can use it in more than one mobo."
True... but I can afford about 30 mods for the cost of it... so unless you own 30+ mobo's and only run them one at a time, I've got you beat.
"It won't void your warranty because there are no physical mods"
So you believe using pamona grabbers to do a mod means you aren't violating warranty terms? You are forcing more voltage through the motherboard than it was built to handle. Your warranty is void as hell. Besides if you can solder worth a damn, you can undo a mod and leave absolutely no trace. So the only people that is a "Pro" for are sloppy solderers without ethics.
I don't see any reason to debate this item... Either you buy one or you don't. Why should it matter to either party what the other does?
I've soldered professionally for many years, who cares, If I don't feel like screwing around making semi/permanent mods to hardware? Am I somewhat less Xtreme if I don't solder it? LMAO.. WTH is the point of debate? Who cares if another forum member decides to add a bit of profit to OCZ's pockets.....
when the inevitable happens and some hardware gets cooked, so what, won't be the first, nor the last..
Only discussion here should be how well these things work, not why I should or shouldn't spend MY cash on one....
I don't think people should be allowed to assume that they aren't voiding their warranties "because there are no physical mods".

I don't believe many who use this thing are ignorant to that fact, I would rather think the statment should probably be no physical changes that would be evidence to void the warranty. This thing will be no different than the dishonest people who would clean up the parts and RMA regardless..
Anyway, why the personal crusade? :confused:
Before I saw the price I shrugged my shoulders and figured it was just so people wouldn't have to bother. But people are paying $70 for something that could not possibly have more than $10 in parts, I can't see why anyone would when we have forum members who do vmods for the cost of shipping.
When someone says a reason for buying is that it maintains their warranty, that irritates me. Why? Firstly it is causing resellers and Manufacturers alike to become nazi'esque in their RMA procedures, which screws everyone. More-over, the people I imagine buying this product are the same people who fill newegg's refurbs with radeons shorting on a lifetime's supply of AS3 stuffed under the BGA chips and gpu. They are the people who burn up caps on motherboards with their idiocy and cost me rma shipping when I have to return their boards. They are the people who kill their hardware then sell it on ebay as "worked when pulled, as-is". The number one advantage of this product is that it leaves no trace behind. That is what will sell it to most people, and that winds up screwing the honest people who know what they are doing in the end.
Look at all the disadvantages already found with this product. It's bulky, hot, and the compatability list is about twenty boards long. Can you explain why it's constantly out of stock? Sure a few experienced users just want to save the time of doing the mod when they are testing out boards. But that doesn't account for how fast these are selling. The only market large enough for this are the people who DON'T know what they are doing and buy this figuring that even if it kills something they can just RMA it and no one will be the wiser.
