OCZ has the nf7-s backwards... they mean use slot 1, not slot 3. Use the slot nearest cpu.Quote:

yes but you'll have to modify the booster to use DIMM1Quote:

EQuito is correct. The dimm slot closest to the CPU is #1 and 3 is closest to the edge on the ABIT NF2 boards. The issue is that there is a capicitor on the NF7-S that is right next to the #1 DIMM slot. There are three, but the problem one is the capacitor that is closest to the AGP slot. This will stop the booster from seating with a heatsink attached to the mosfets on the unit. You MIGHT be able to get the cap out of the way by removing it and making longer leads but of course we do not recommend that. You also might be able to modify the heatsink arrangement to make the booster fit. This would be best.
Slot 3 is required for DC operation and running the booster there would be counter productive. we are updating the compatability list to better explain.
I hope this clears things up.

Yes if you make the booster fit in slot 1, then slot 2 is clear for your memory. I have done this, and in fact I have one installed right now in my NF7-S.
A64 socket 754 is another story, only 1 DIMM can be used without modifying the booster heavily.

I am working out a mod for the unit that may allow some components to be changed to the back side, effectively "reversing" it. This will depend on a few factors I have to work out.
Okey so either way something has to be modified...Damn...Oh well..Think I'll stick to the idea of making a real vdimm mod.
Jesus eva those are some insane numbers! Whats vdimm read through a DMM?
no idea as not comfortable poking the board LOL :o
I'm a bit confused now...... will this work: install memory in dimm 1 and 3 and then the booster in slot 2????Quote:

I'm also curious to know how far will the booster help me gain extra FSB with my 2x512 corsair pc3500 c2 . My max with these are 222fsb unmodded and i dont mod my boards so will getting this thingy let me reach 233fsb or will the board hold me back due to the problem nf7's has with dual bank modules???
no the booster will preven u from inserting one into slot 1, so put the booster in slot 1, and put ur ram into slots 2 and 3Quote:

No, that won't work. Please read andyOCZ's post again.Quote:

The booster has to be modified to fit DIMM1 (remove sinks) so memory can be installed on DIMM2/3 and that's the only option if you want DC unless you want to move the capacitor.
Move the capacitor? Hell no.Quote:

remove sinks?? hmmm doesn't sound as bad as removing the capacitor, worth a try.
I have been testing in a K8NSpro, and except for slot 1 and 3 working best with 2 sticks in my board, and I have to put the booster in slot 1, it works pretty good. I had some problems booting with all 3 slots filled, but it worked it's way out it seems with a little fiddling.Quote:

what about A64? anyone?
what about it. I have been testing on a K8NSpro and all is good.Quote:

So the sinks have to be removed on a NF7-s ? Won't that get a little hot :D ?
Im sorry to have to reiterate myself but.....
Only Spec3 has managed to provide some useful information so far, u other peeps are more into self indulging your own hardware then aiding the community here with some simple requests.Quote:

What the important thing here is to see before and after tests! I mean isnt that the whole point?
A few peeps seem to have these, but I havnt seen anybody run a test like this:
I had a mthbrd X with 3.2vdimm ran at 240mhz
Mthbrd X with OCZ booster now runs at 250mhz
This is what I want to see, benchies without comparisson are worthless IMHO

Hey mongoled I'm not going to do the 3d testing. If the memory isn't stable enough to run 3d apps then I risk corrupting my OS and hard drive files because the ram isn't stable. If you want any stable vs unstable DOS testing I can do that no problem

What kinda fiddling???:confused:Quote:

I think you'll need to be patient just a bit longer, quite a number of us have these ordered, and will be getting them relatively soon, still pretty limited as to the number of these actually in hand...
About 5 :toast:Quote:

Does anyone know how it works with an unmoded IC7-Max3 (bad VTT)? I can mod my VTT but I would rather not (dont want to kill the board, as I am not that good at soldering), but would still like to try the booster. I know the VTT will still be at its max 1.4, but I would still gain some mhz out of my ram at lets say 3.5 volts right?
i just installed my promise 32bit/66mhz controller to take care of that and test in memtest first before loading windows so you don't foobar your OS install (and ghost image it heh)Quote:

Youve been the perfect member so far, just hoping the others will follow suit soonQuote:

Now for me to post my fun overclocks. This is the best this BH-6 is going to give me I think. I was running 3.68V into the ram under load and tested upto 3.8 with no change

Not bad for BH-6 me thinks
