well wont there be alot of fried a64 mem controllers with this stuff then?

Does this improve a lot with better cooling like EB did, or is it one of those chips that doesn't really need cooling? What kind of warrantee does this have, would hate to see it void above 2.9v.

Isn't is only the s939 with their DC stuff, that can be destroyed by high voltage? (looks nervously at s754 with 3.5v on RAM)

I have tried 3.8 volt and nothing has fried yet.

I have a question for Ryan or Bigtoe or anyone with this hardware. Can the ocz rambooster help my 1gb 3700EB get a higher more stable overclock with my up and coming setup.

This is the harware I have to go into my new rig:
I gb dual channel PC 3700EB platinum
OCZ ram booster
MSI neo 2 platinum 939 pin
FX 55
pci Raid card
2 36 gb Raptors
X800XT VIVO
prom 1 original unmodded
The big question is did i BUY THE WRONG RAM?

How did you get 3.8v with the DFI board? Overvolted the 3.3v rail to 4.1v and using the 4.0v bios? :eek:

I overvolted my 3.3v to 3.8v(max on OCZ 520w) and I then use 3.5v, since the board apparently cuts the voltage by -0.3v with respect to the 3.3v rail(or so I have read).

I am quite nervous about burning the memcontroller at this voltage. Should I be concerned?

Booster, and yes i have tried everything =)
But i hope no one else try it, might burn.

Ok, that makes sense, thanks :)

Should get me one of those. I have heard the also increase stabilty.

You're nuts mate, 3,8V on TCCD ram. :D

Nice knowing they won't go up in smoke with "a bit" too much volts. ;)

We wouldn't sell ram with a max voltage of 2.9V that needs 3.2V+ to perform ;)

Ryan and Tony will let you know when everything is final and until then we all wait (myself included)

The booster will help on that system. Running about 3-3.2V will let you max out your memory with best timings. Make sure you also cool the ram and booster well so that everything runs cool :toast:

Oh and also don't go cheap on the PSU. Lots of amps on the 12V rail is where it counts right now (30A or more would be best)

So to get the performance, we should get the RAM, Booster and the OCZ PowerStream? hehe

I think we on XS should get a discount on some items. :D

I think there will be some kind of package deal for the ram and a booster with a good price :D

I'm thinking of using an existing newer Antec true power 550, but it lists only 24 amps max on the 12 volt. Will that be enough? I could afford a higher output if nessesary, any suggestions?

OCZ's Good Price = $300
My Good Price = <$250 :p:

Rev 2 Doesn't need 3.8 lol. It tops out at 2.9. And yes we are all cheap bastards. Why would be pay more when we can get something cheaper and get more of something else:d

What if we just release it as a cheap part , then will you all be happy

Do you mean cheap but good quality? Or do you mean a cheap piece of crap?

now your thinking! lets see i'll take some of this stuff, and the new 3700 you guys are working on. will 130$ handle it?

but yeah serisously how hot will these chips run? i guess some heatspreaders will actaully come to use.

also can i make a quick suggestion for the heat spreaders? give them a wave. like \/\/\/\/\/\/ except not so dramatic. could dramaticly increase surface area and cooling for chips like these that will probably run pretty toasty. ;)
