Does the OCZ booster work on a Albatron PX875P Pro??

Could someone confirm that it works on K8NS PRO?
I am supposed to pick it up this afternoon...

(I just can´t believe that one can get this new eq here in Finland already now :D)

I just got my OCZ Booster...

been running my BH5 at 5:4, wanted to try 1:1 at 250+

before the booster my mem started to give me errors in memtest at 243 MHz... With the booster I get the same results ! :(

No matter what the voltage, it starts givin errors at 243FSB

I've tried different timings, no luck

GAT is A-N-A-D-D

I saw in this thread that it said use slot 3 for the booster, but on this page, http://www.ocztechnology.com/display...ocompatibility
it doesn't mention it ? I used slot 4, if I use slot3 then the booster also covers slot4 which means I'll lose dual channel!

my AI7 nogood above 243 with bh5?

edit: the DDR voltstability is really bad with the booster, set to 3.3 now and MBM reports 3.11-3.35V

5:4 or 6:5? 5:4 is 166:133, 6:5 is 200:166

you might be having some other problem , someone here might know a little more , but if you voltage is fluctuating at all the vdimm booster LED readout would show it , as well as the MBM

I am very curious what power supply your using ?

my PSU is the Enermax EG465AX-VE 460W, all the rails are very stable, and vdimm is very stable without the booster...

If anyone has any info/thoughts....

hmmm , can you try another psu really quick ?

have you tried using the booster in other dimm slots?

does it fluctuate all the time or only in idle or only under load?

what did you set the vdimm to in bios?

I just ordered a booster to test on my Leadtek K8N. I'm a bit worried, though, because my board doesn't like running two sticks of RAM in slots 2 and 3. I have a feeling those heatsinks on the booster might get in the way - any comments on that?

I think the enermax psu's have a hard time maintaining current at high loads.

Put your hand at the exhaust fan of the PSU and see how hot it is.. if its more than just warm you could be putting too much strain on it to produce the needed current to feed all the devices in the system reliably, even though voltage may be holding stable.

I know my Antec 400w smartpower does it.. ;)

I have it in slot 4, thats really the only one you can use, otherwise you wont beable to use dualchannel.. but I tried it in slot 3 with the mem in slot 1&2, same results, OC and vdimm all over the place

tried settin the vdimm in bios, 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2, same results

The rails on it are very stable with enough amps,
3.3V, 35A
5.0V, 35A
12V, 32A

Case temps are around 28°C-30°C, psu fans at max, the exhaust from the psu is 35°C-37°C (i have an infrared temp gun)

My Enermax 465 (I think thats the whisper it has the fan control pot) seemed to put out about the same voltages and fluctuations (hundredths of a volt) as my PC P&C 510w and it was a lot quieter and made less heat :rolleyes: But I know the Turbo Cool can handle a much higher load and its not modded yet so maybe thats why they arent fully stable.

I've got a Rev .2 of the booster and an Asus A8V. What's the score with using this with some dual channel memory - obviously if you use slots 1 and 3 for the dual channel bus then you cant get the booster installed :(

Has anyone tested the booster in the ABIT AV8 rev.1.1 S939?
how much vdimm can i give?

Thanks MikeE

ok a dumb question
I am gettin one of these babies soon
and i was wondering how do you adjust the VDIMM voltage??

do you just let the bios stay in default/auto and then adjust the booster??

or do you set the bios to the max and then set the booster??

thanx

Works on the A7V880. I had to test with a multimeter, but it indeed does work :D
