Blah... but I want it now! :frag:
Any word if it might work on the A7V880 though? If it works on like the A7N8X, A7V8X, or A7V600 then it most likely will work on the 880 :D

I wish I had all the answers. Some boards will work well. Others will not benefit. Some memory will love the extra voltage and other types do not. We are compiling all of the data.
It will be a motherboard/memory compatabilty list.
At least an ETA for when I can buy it?
I can't believe I just sat here and read 17 pages, lol. Sounds like a great product! Great price as well. Even guys like me who have done alot of mods would rather just plug and play. Not only is it quicker (not having to look up vdimm mod for particular board, etc.), but my hands are always a little shaky when I get that iron close to a new mobo.
I think we are at least a few weeks away from receiving the production run of the units. I will update as a I know.
I'm glad i saw this thread!
I was wondering would all ABIT motherboards have a problem with Vtt tracking....
I own an IS7 - and was wondering if i would still have to do a Vtt mode if i use OCZ module?
OCZ guys why havnt u told the peeps here that this thing wont work with DFI nforce2 boards?
mong

Where did YOU get this information from?
why wouldn't the module work with DFI Boards?

so.. gonna give us a link to that statement or not?
yet they are testing on them?
are you sure that they meant ALL DFI boards (hopefully the NF2 were exluded from that statement) ...
Well let me put the record straight here.
Andy was making a statement about the 875 and maybe the 865 DFI boards as the board has onboard OVP and cuts out at 3.2Vdimm...this doesn't mean the booster won't work, it means it works to 3.2Vdimm and then the board shuts off.
We are testing on NF2 and you will see results soon.Both Andy and and myself just got final shipping units so we are testing along side the guys back at the office.
I can't see an issue with OVP on the NF2 as i have seen peeps running 4vdimm with modded boards and modded 3.3V lines.
Lastly, VTT...there is no way we are going to be able to tell you all what boards work the VTT correctly and what don't. If you were Vdimm modding your board you would have to look into VTT anyway so if you plan to use the booster you are still going to have to share info so worrd gets about what needs a mod and what doesn't. i will say on boards that only need a vdimm mod you will probably not need a VTT mod. on boards that are known to have Vdimm and VTT issues you will need a VTT mod with the booster.
Hope this clears things up for you all.
Thanks bigtoe, was just worrying about that a few hours ago :)
thx bigtoe, one question though ... does the UI/LPB "track" VTT? (if u know). ... I am really anxious to get your product :D
Well thanxs for clearing that up, maybe next time statements such as the one posted can be avoided
AS for said link i didnt say I would provide one, but seeing as you asked it is here
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...5&pagenumber=2
When these things do come out We will stickie a thread in the forums for what works and what does not etc.
The only thing I see as a problem for dual ch boards is the clearance on the business side of the booster. I'm looking at an Asus A8V right now and the only possibility of fit is using the 2 & 4 slost for the ram and #1 for the booster, but there is a 1/2" high cap about an 1/8" past the outer edge of the #1 ram slot. So the gold heatsinks will have to clear this to fit. On a board with all 4 slots packed together, then it will have to go in the top slot and the ram in the lower 2. Some boards are picky about whcih "dual" slots to use, so it will be case by case.
i'm going to be testing the booster next week on some boards, so I'll let you know how it fits, but I have a feeling that lower sink will be a bit in the way. maybe it can be changed out or modded if necesaary.
What are the "J" board rev. #'s? It located just above the 5th pci slot. i just got a board today from a distributer and it is a 45MG0L0153 Rev 1.02. Haven't tested it yet, but I'm going to try with a beta 1006 bios altered for locks.
edit: I see the "J's are also 1.02. My NB is 0419CD.
Few... that took 2 hours of careful reading. Old memories came back which took at least 5-10 mins of recollection with the fiasco of bigtoe, hawk, hipro... (was it at this board or abxzone?) Anyways, I LIKE IT! I am getting to the point where I want the nice overclocks with less hassle stage. Fully knowing I can get better H2O setup up for the money, I decided to cheat with Koolance Exos :)
Instead of taking out the board, soldering, etc, I will probably go this route if my memory can benefit more from the extra voltage and clean power. I expect potential gain from this product probably is better on crappier memory (% wise) than really nice ones (tolerance level) -> probably left for Xs here to find out.
Here is my question:
Testing any Samsung PCB memories? Is the problem limited to IC7 or AI7 as well? Another list of testing options :)
It was at ABXzone and it all revolved around a preproduction P4C800e and a pre production bios that was allowing higher than 166fsb clocks with a 3.06 but with no actual increase of speed.
Hipro proved the cpu was still at a low clock but then said Hawk was a scammer..issue was it was a bios that was the scammer as i have seen MANY timews since.Examples.
MSI 875 on the inquirer running 2-2-2-5 at ddr500+with Hynic D43..I mailed the inquirer to advise the bios was fooling them.
P4E Mobiles..i have one.I have hit 6GHZ with this cpu air cooled!!!!! No it reads all wrong as you all know so again its a bios issue.
865PE MSI's new wonder prescott board with mobiles doubles the fsb you set in bios, so to run 300fsb you set 150fsb :confused:
There are many others if you search that show bios can do a lot of weird things...in Hawks case it was showing an overclock that actually wasn't happening..nothing more..no scam...just a beta bios playing tricks.I have ALL early P4C bios files here from Asus and i mean ALL and quite a few play weird and wonderful tricks with boards..some actually will kill boards if the Vcore is set to low.
So judge for yourself..i know it was a beta bios and nothing more.
excellent
I doubt many have noticed this but it looks infact like the DFI users are SOL... .even with the NFII boards.
http://www.ocztechnology.com/display...ocompatibility
Tony himself confirmed it will end up damaging the booster and/or board if used.
I dunno about you but im real dissapointed.

Btw, bigtoe, I saw the DDR Booster be compatible with the NF7-S. Does it mean that Vtt tracking problems do not kick in on this board? If yes, I might take my old NF7-S out of the shelf and see how it goes with some extra Vdimm.
Abit NF7 v.2 3.4V Y Use DIMM slot 3
OMG worthless. How are you supposed to even get good scores w/o dual channel? Or is this on this the slot closest the CPU?
Guys
As you see tests have started and boards are being listed on the OCZ site.The guys there are NOT testing for VTT, they are only testing if Vdimm will increase safely.
We have seen some issues with NF2 as you have seen by looking at the list...We strongly advise you to follow this list and follow our recomendation.
Im sure some of you will try anyway and report your findings but we have tried our best to save you guys some trouble.One thing we have found is boards with voltage protection on board do not play well with the booster.
Hope this hasn't disapointed to many of you, if we find a way round some of these issues we will try and implement them.One other way would be to disable OVP on the mobo's but im unsure if this would be viable.
Same could be said about A64 boards but we already mentioned there will probably be a mirrored version that will suit.Quote:

Lots 1 and 2 will still give dual channel with slot3 nearest the cpu.
I don't understand. I thought this device was suppose to make 'volt mods a thing of the past'. If that is the case then why can users mod their board to the late 3.xv and not have to worry about the OVP but with the booster you do?
Boards with OVP need extra mods even if you volt mod them.875LP B is a good example, over 3.1V OVP kicks in.Quote:

You have to remember all boards are different, its hard to get it to work on all of them, there will always be those its not compatible with.
Ok so slot 3 is the one closest to the CPU? I thought it was the one furthest. Makes sense then. The A7V880 has overvolt on it but has a jumper to disable it.
How about sending me a beta version to see if it works? ;)
bigtoe, could you please elaborate on the DFI nForce2 not working?
MBM shows my vdimm fluctuating between 3.06 and 3.26 (high/low) at 3.3vdimm setting!!!
that is only the 3.3v rail sense line... try setting vdimm to 3.0 or 2.9 to make sure you have the right sensor.
Dammit, why do we have to use DIMM3 on the NF7's?? That means no dual channel, If I cant run dual channel with this then I will not be buying it...
you would also have to do a VTT mod to have it work. Overall it may not be beneficial.
I thought it was supposed to eliminate that?? If I have to do physical mods to get it to work....grrrrrr :mad:Quote:
Originally posted by cantankerous

on boards that don't properly track VTT above what the bios sets it at then yes you will have to do a VTT mod. The NF7-s is one of those boards.
but why are DFI nf2 boards not compatible? anyone know?
maybe for the same reason they tend to burn out past 3.8v?
I dont know why that is, but that is my guess until more info comes to light.
well im really confused and extremely dissapointed myself. I would like to know at what setting the OVP protection actually kicks in. If the DFI boards can do 3.3 in the bios why can't this device do the same at a minimum. It is no more than the board would have supplied itself but at least with the device you get cleaned up power and no fluctuations or undervolting.
I still have no clue why people have their boards modded to 3.7-3.9 and not have this ovp kicking in. After all this device is suppose to work exactly like a vdimm mod making them a 'thing of the past'.
the dfi nf2 boards dont have OVP as far as I know.
and no OVP is the problem???
I just want 3.5v without fluctuations upto 0.25v from the setting ...
unless I am forced to mod it the old fashioned way ...
Bigtoe - I noticed the Shuttle AN50R listed as incompatible. Is this due to the orientation of the dimms or the lack of VTT tracking?
as far as I know they didn't test for VTT tracking at all.. just to see how the board handled the higher vdimm from the start. It unfortunately doesn't say why any of the boards aren't compatible but from talking to Tony if it says not compatible for any reason they mean it and serious damage can occur if you don't take heed.

slot 3 is the one closest to the CPU and is paired as a single channel with slot 2. 1 dimm in 2+1 or 3+1 is dual channel.Quote:

slot 3 is the slot that supplies the best vdimm but the booster solves that. you can still run DC with the booster in slot 3 so keep your panties on. :cool:
slot 3 (closest to CPU socket in your interpretation) supplys the best/highest/most-stable VDimm??? Is that proven?Quote:

Hmmm might hav to rearrange my memory.
PS, Dimm3 on the NF7, the REAL/OFFICIAL Dimm3 is the one FURTHEREST from the CPU socket, according to my user manual.
How about the MSI K8N Neo Platinum?
Funny... there are a bunch of non-compatible motherboards... I guess this isn't the be-all-end-all. ;)
Having to put the soldering iron to your motherboard to do one mod makes this product not worth it in my opinion. Once you do that you are voiding your warranty so you may as well take the extra 5 minutes and $1.50 and add another VR for Vdimm.
damn, i can't wait to get my grubby nonconductive paws on this piece...
Looks like most ASUS and Abit boards are working...
and where can i buy this thing online at in the u.s?Quote:

The units are not shipping as of yet, they will be soon. Last I heard OCZ was waiting for cables.
what the heck is with the dfi boards not being supported?!?!?!
you guys already said it would work! :shrug: :dammit:
The dignostic mode works fine on DFI boards. The voltage boost doesn't. It causes the 875 B to power off due to the voltage protection DFI designed in and has killed an NF2 Ultra Infinity. We have no way to make it work if the board design won't tolerate it.
We have been careful not to say it will work in any board until we have succesfully tested it.
ok i should have been more clear. it wont work on the dfi nf2 boards? you say only one board died? out of how many. that could very well have been just because the dfi's do that sometimes. why did it die? cuz i really wanna be able to feed my bh-6 3.6vdimm without any vmods. but i'll vmod if this thing defiently wont work.
sorry if I missed this somewhere but does this in the compatibility list mean that some IC7-G's will track, and not need the vtt mod?
Abit IC7 3.6V Y
Abit IC7 Max3 3.4V Y
IC7-G Max3 has a realy crazy vtt.
About NF7-S, in the list, it says 3.4v. Is it the absolute maximum or only the maximum tested? Cause if it is the maximum tested, it means the vdimm can and will go higher with the vtt mod (probably). OCZ guys, please make this clear :)
The compatability list bascically means it works, did not blow anything up and allows DDR voltage adjustment. It does not mean that VTT and other board issues get fixed. For the IC7-MAX 3 we feel that a VTT mod is still required to achieve the best teh board has to offer.
Personally I disagree. Take my K8NSpro for example. In order to get just 3.2vddr I have to run my +3.3v rail at 3.6v Not great for the A64 IMO. Plus 3.2v is not enough in some circumstances. Now you could do mosfet to cap mod which gives whatever voltage you +3.3v rail is, but unless you have an OCZ Power Stream, or a modded PSU that has the VR handy, this is not very adjustable, and you can't really go below 3.3vQuote:

Now I use many different types of ram, ranging from bh-5, to PC3700Gold, or OCZ EB, and need different voltage adjustments from 3.0v up to atleast 3.4v This booster is great!
I am no stranger to vmod's, and all my boards go under the iron, and still will for atleast a vcore mod if needed, but in my case the booster is better than a traditional vmod. I know this first hand as I have been playing with the booster all day!;)
Will the compatibility list on the ocz forum be supplemented with additional info about wether or not a vtt mod is needed?
I am sure that we are not testing for vtt and general overclockability. These are issues that the individual user will need to deal with.Quote:

so why did the dfi can the ok before and not now? how many dfi's was this tested on? did the board fry or just the bios got fooked?
you say the max3, but does that go for the max2 (normal ic7-g)?
they went onsale today at excaliber but sold out already!
WeStSiDePLaYa
The DFI was never OK. No one from OCZ said that to my knowledge. My personal board (NF2 Ultra Infinity) is dead. The voltage went from 3.3v to 3.6v without my even touching the dial and it was gone. There was obviously an incompatabilty. I am not testing on my killer NF2 B Lan Party to see if the booster will kill it too.
Sorry, boards cost money. If 1 in 10 dies that is too much. We are sharing this to keep your board safe. :)
Sorry but that's incorrect.Quote:

DIMM3 is the farthest from the CPU (closest to the edge of the board) and it's absolutely needed to run DC.
DC uses 3/1 or 3/2, 1/2 does not run DC so this device is practically useless for people with 2 sticks running DC unless it can be installed on DIMM1 or 2.
Y'all needa test it on more socket a via boards.
I tested my booster already on my Epox 8k5a2+. Tested to 3.6V with no problems at all. That doesn't mean OCZ supports using it on that board, but I'm just telling you it worked for meQuote:

Hehe of course it works on EPoX. I need it to work on my A7V880 though. 2.85 is no where near enough.
equito - the dimms are backwards on nForce 2 boards if you go by CPU-Z for dimm arrangement. Dimm 3 is listed as closest to the CPU in CPU-Z.
Which way bigtoe was going by I am unsure of, but there has always been some confusion as to which way the slots are numbered..
Well, I go by the label on the board as well as the manual but even if both are wrong it doesn't change the fact that the 2 closest DIMM's DO NOT support DC so where ever you install this device you won't be able to run DCQuote:

If the 2 closest DIMM's were further apart then it should be ok.
and
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.
Equito - We know that already..
If you take the time to compare it to your AMD motherboard, however, you will notice it fits in both slots 1 and 3, providing you dont have capacitors in the way anyways.
http://www.ocztechnology.com/images/...DRbooster2.jpg
Long side up on AMD boards, which means according to the above linked pictures the components on the PCB of the DDR Booster will face the CPU.
Looking at my DFI Infinity I may have a problem with a small capacitor next to the middle of DIMM 1 (counting from closest to cpu outwards) but i'll have to wait for mine to arrive before I can say for sure.
EDIT
Replied a litte late I guess :D
Anywho, yeah.. i'll probably end up making my own heatsink for the mosfets or changing how they are layed out.
If you install the booster on DIMM1 (closest to CPU) you cannot use DIMM2 (middle one) thus you cannot run DC.
If you install the booster on DIMM3 (furthest from CPU) you cannot run DC with sticks on DIMM1 and 2
Sorry, I can't make it any more clear that that.
:toast:
People will hopefully be running a fan on their dimms already, so instead of re-arranging the heatsinks on the booster, can you take them off all together and rely totally on the fan?
Please re-read my post, here is the pertinant information.Quote:

ok, so you're saying that DIMM2 can be populated if the booster goes on DIMM1?
I thought it was too thick for a fit even if the components face the other way which will make reading the display kind of difficult, wouldn't it?
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.
ok, thanks for the clarification. :toast:
So bottom line, either the board or the booster have to be modified to be used on the NF7.
Do you guys have an alternate solution in mind? maybe turn the components around so it can be installed on DIMM2 without any mods at all.
We are talking about a "reverse" model for the next run. This may be quite a while off depending on demand for the unit.
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.

Thanks for the info! :toast:
Andy I have my booster in dimm1(closest to cpu) and have no problems fitting 2 dimms in. This is on a K8NSpro. I test fit on my K8Npro which is not hooked up, but it also was fine. Only problem I do have is that my board likes slots 1+3 better than 2+3. Good thing this board isn't dual channel though so I can just take one stick out for benching!;)Quote:

The VNF3-250 won't boot with sticks in 2 and 3. I wonder why it works on your board? Hmmmm
By the way, anyone thought of that the DDR Booster properly supports hardly any nForce2 board tested so far?
Not much above 2.9v or so.Quote:

Well, I did have some problems booting with dimms in slots 2+3, but a little fiddling worked it's way out. I think I first booted with 1 stick, and then shut down, added the second stick, and it POSTed fine. Also it boot's fine if set to 5:4. 1:1 was the only trouble, but again I seemed to have worked it out.Quote:

durn, the NF7 is one of the boards that needs this most, due to the insanely difficult vdimm mod...Quote:

I will be posting a "fairly simple" mod on bleedin edge soon explaining how to change the booster for use on A64 socket 754 with 2 sticks and on all NF2 in slot 2 as required.
So, if I understand their chart correctly:
Abit AN7 3.4v Y
- note the no caveats under 'Y'
This means I could still use dual-channel? Dimm in slots 1 and 3 and this device in 2?
Why the 3.4v limit, btw? My mobo already goes up to 3.2v on the ram, IIRC.
Anyway, this is pretty sweet.
Ah, gotcha. Still, $60....hmmmmm.....
And I've always heard bad things about running your ram over 2.9v (why I'm running 2.85v now)? I assume these are overstated concerns, then?
Depends on the chips, but I would feel safe running anything out there to 3.0v for 24/7/365..
As to higher than that, i've been running my winbond based chips at 3.2+ for a year+ 24/7/365 :D
wonder why the a8v isnt on the list. it was one of the first boards i remember it being tested on, or at least thats how i remember it:banana4:
You will have top run the booster in slot 1 NF2 boards to maintain dual channel. The device is too wide and will obstruct slot 1 when used in slot in slot 2. The NF7-S 2.0 has a capacitor that is right next to slot 1 about 3/4 inch from the right side when looking from the CPU side of the board. This is the concern. The capacitor will interfere with the heatsink on the booster. If your board does not have this, then you are fine with the booster as is.Quote:

For everyone else please look at the picture of the booster on the OCZ site. Notice where the location notch is and then see how it will fit on your board. If it faces a DIMM slot that is right next the unit as it will install on your board, then that slot can't be used. This is where the unit can be modded to make it work.
Actually the voltages on some boards is limited by the board. In some cases the voltage listed is the max that can be applied. A tip off would be if it were less than 3.4v on the list.Quote:

can confirm i.e. on AI7, even if i turn the booster upto 3.9v, the vdimm max is 3.48v and only the VTT changes at 3.9v VTT = 2.02v
Since it works on the K8V, will it run on the SK8V since there so simular ?Quote:
