looks pretty cool.
What will the price be, roughly?
MMM I want one :D ;)
Does this still kill A64's like the high Vdimm from a vmod does? or does this filter it well enough that it doesn't damage the on-chip memory controller.
:thumbsup:
Damn.. that thing is sweet!! OCZ rules :slobber:
holykadoley, could u give us a hint when it will released?
If it will be out in a few weeks i could wait instead of pick the whole system apart to make the vdimm mod... (badly lazy):p:
Bigtoe: Could it be used in both 184 and 240 pin slots?
Please if you do limit it make it jumper moddable. I know the limits will need to be excedded.... always...or there would be no xtreme...Quote:

It features vdimm control from 2.5 to 4.2v although we "may" limit the max a little lower.
I think you could mod it pretty easy. But I'm sure there is also a good reason to make the limit 4V or 4.2V.....I mean I don't know to many other people who have run memory at over 4V...do you?Quote:

Interesting thingy indeed :)
Sure it is BUT I must say that 90% of the vmods I've done are even easier.. ;)Quote:
Vtt mod is easy on the IC7..
So basicly this feeds the voltage into the memory. And the mosfets on board basicly get turned off, since the vdimm exceeds the set limit, so that current does not feed back into the board.

Yeah, that's the question who everybody with an A64-system wanna know ;)
cause, if it doesn't damage the MC, you'll make a hell of money with that thing ;)
(did you ever test it with an A64-sys ?)
There will be a PR on Tuesday next..pricing will be fixed next week also.
It only applied vdimm and vref as far as i know..VTT is still controlled by the board but does track correctly on many boards.
I will try mine on A64 but i will need to mod it first...i need the pot to be vertical and the molex lines foul the other dimms.
Also this is fed off the ATX connector, don't be fooled by the molex lines....the final version WILL look different to mine.
We have discussed ways of allowing more than 4.2v for you Xtreme folks..you will need to stay tuned for that one ;)
Macci..how may boards do you refuse RMA at your store as some one has soldered on them??..not all are as good as you with a soldering iron.Quote:

Haven't seen one yet. Vmodding ain't that common I guess.Quote:

The point in my post was that the particular Vtt mod you mentioned ain't the easiest to do (requires cuttin a trace) - and if its required in order to use this Ramvolt thingy it kinda defeats the purpose - in this particular case.
Now all we need is other to follow OCZ... with like a Moderboard with no change in vcore ;P
Don't you still need the vtt mod if you want to run high vdimm with the regular vdimm mod? I think what he was saying is that the IC7 doesn't track the VTT along with the vdimm so if your going to run high vdimm (no matter how you do it) you'll need the VTT mod (I'm sure you know all this :toast: )Quote:

macci, i'd guess with 775 not long off, well, who will care about the ic7 and its messed up vtt? If most other boards can cope with it fine, it means no mods at all, which for some is good. I for some reason, have shakey hands, i guess from caffiene induced frenzyness(i hope :p ) but i still ain't got almost any spare time, and i'm pretty sure this will always be faster and easier.
But when, WHEN, will gfx cards come with bios changable voltage or variable pots that give very limited increase in voltages but enough to make a diff. I mean, ASUS make mobo's and let us use higher than warrantied voltages, why do they not have same kinda options on their gfx cards. Its really the next voltage to add to standard adjustments, we've had south, northbridges, and most of the rest we need.
Asus makes mobos that let you use higher then warrantied voltages because the things that are most likly to get cooked aren't theres. Asus doesn't care if you fry your ram, or your videocard, or your processor, because when/if you do its not like they have to buy a new one. Graphics card makers on the other hand have no reason at all to allow voltage adjustments. Even if they were to allow adjustable voltages it would be to the point where it'd be useless, because they'd be expecting every moron out there to jack up the volts on stock cooling and cook their cards and then rma them.
I can't see the pics.
edit: Nm they finally loaded.
Forgive me if this is asked already, as I really just skimmed.
Can it go into any ram slot? So Could a person use dual channel on say an nf7-s and then put this in the open slot?
this thing looks awsome, i might have to buy one.. i hope the price isnt too steep.
i will buy it, when it isn't higher set then 90-100$ :)
And when it doesn't kill the MC of the A64)
that thing is an famous idea
Genius! damn, wish i had that patent! :D
But why can't the module supply Vtt aswell? Is it not as simple as Vdimm and Vref?
