ENTIRE Europe is NO GO for PCB fabrication and assembling.....I've send e-mails to a lot of companies in Europe but it's a no go.....Even in Polland that I thought it would be cheep, I was wrong.......What's going on?...... :(
Erm well if China revalued there currency to what it should be, then maybe they wouldnt be SO cheap.Quote:

China and Taiwan too 60% / 40%......exept the boxes.......Quote:

I just checked, make that 7 pre-orders I have Hipro :) Due to the wait some seem to have givven up the wait and went to the Booster side .....
So at the mo I only need 8 pieces (7 pre-orders+ 1 for me :) )
Dont forget about me :) I PMed you awhile back about one, hopefully I'm on the list or something somewhere :P
Ill take one if the cost isnt stupid (100euro is fine)
Good luck with the manufacture hipro.
How's everything going on these babies?
I Imagen they are still working on everything. I think maybe now everything is final and production will begin soon (production is the quickest part of everything I believe)
There just goes A LOT of paperwork and planning into this. Thats whats so time consuming
any for sale to US yet?
As far as I know from the thread, no. Finally Europe is going to get something first :D :banana:Quote:

Hipro maybe you could show us a photo?
BTW hipro i send you a PM
take a look from my maximazer... I dont know if hipro will follow this way in the official product.

thanks man :toast: very clear photo. and my guess was right afterall.
Only Hipro refers in his manual to a green 9pin connector on the back of the maximizer :stick: 8 pins as far as i can see...

It was only a few days back when I first found this thread, http://www.werbeyond.com/forum/image..._ashamed01.gif as I was looking for a way to mod a certain Booster ;) to make it more user friendly... :eek: :slobber: ... :woot:
This is exactly what I was thinking of... and a LOT more!!! ;) :cool:
I hope it will arrive soon, so that I can give my beloved BH-5 (OCZ EL DDR PC-3500 Dual Channel Platinum Limited Edition) what it so desperately needs! :p:
Congratulations hipro5 with this excellent design! :toast:
that doesnt seem like very many to me i think you will need alot more then that. you think there are only 500 users that have bh-5 and crave overclocking goodies hehe.Quote:

*Bump*
Time seems to be taking a bit long for 500 units....surely!
*Bump*
:( :confused:
migrated over for a bit from OCforums to see whats goin on with this....I WANT ONE BAD!!!!
Hm, Hipro has not been seen here since 07-06-2005? :confused:
he's on vacation :DQuote:

I agree, we need it soon... hell I preordred mine back in november 2004.... But then again, this thingy whill fit what ever hardware we can thik of...Quote:

going to mod my ic7 this week, wish me luck, itll be my 3rd vmod, and the first two werent nearly as hard.
hmmm tapping fingers.
Yeah Revv34, I have the very same feeling. This thread was lauched on the 17th Sept 2004. Hipro has had an awful lot of problems getting all this together & I know he has had lots of problems getting to the point of Manufacture.Quote:

I've given up ever seeing a Maximiser, let alone owning one from my Pre-Order. Its a shame, but there we go! I'd just like to add, whoever is resposnible for causing these Inconveniences to Hipro gets a right hand full of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: Slaps from me! :slap: :slap: :slap: :slap: :slap:
Sorry for the bump but calling hipro, come in hipro?
We're nearing end of august so hows the production problems/move comming?
Any word at all ?
to bad we dont hear much about hipro :( hope to see him back soon
Some people are lucky :D :D :D
...will this thing get on the market? It's been way to long...
im waiting for mine, i hope it will be out soon my 1 gig of 4400 VX needs more volts.....
so any reseller in US, UK put me down for one definatly.
Hipro, your great m8...
PS. now if we could only get the mobo manufactures to THINK about ther products before they released them like Hipro did, we all would be happy OC'ers.......
if mobo manufactures were like hipro then we'd all still be using pentium 3s. because the boards would be out yet.Quote:

:woot: Hipro5, do you have a final price yet? :)
Looks sweet indeed :banana:
Where's the LED?! (the one showing the voltage)

Nice stuff hipro!
I still have pre-orders for you so don't forget about me :)
I'm still the official Benelux reseller :D
So I have to be with you if I want one :D?Quote:

well hipro, once again youve got me drooling, i eagerly expect the update today, and i really hope it does come today.
some little bird also told me that the quality of these PCBs is superb :D
entity, i'll be ordering one from you!
You could better PM him about it, that's how I did it. :)
Once again the deadline passes and no update. :slap:
quick note, anyone who from BENELUX who wants to pre-order via me:
PM me.
two days since the "update tommorow"...
i understand, im not mad hirpo, things get very busy for you im sure... just once again im hungry for info on this.
Fixing photos..........I'll be soon with you..... :)
Wow hipro5 is posting for once. Where the hell have you been for the last few months!?
I had some problems on many different things and I went on vacations leaving some of them behind so as to relax and come back with more power........ :)Quote:

This is the FINAL Version 1.2 of the DDR Maximizer's DDR PCB........
http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/M..._Final_jpg.jpg
This is the FINAL complete DDR Maximizer outside it's box - ONLY the PCB's.......
http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/M..._Final_jpg.jpg
NOW...Take a good look at this photo...It is the Front panel WITH AND WITHOUT Led and Led display......We DID NOT solder the dual leds and the Led displays on the front panel.......We soldered instead of them base-pins.....We did that in case that someone of you, would like later to change the Led displays and the leds of the front panel and make them BLUE(as for the led displays) and BLUE-RED(as for the dual leds) by it's own......The only thing he has to do is to unscrew the two screws of the front panel's face,
buy the "blue-red" Maximizer's kit and place them into the bases........ ;)
http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/M...change_jpg.jpg
Here are some constraction bases of the DDR Maximizer....... :)
"The born" of the DDR Maximizer....... :D

FINAL Mainboard V.1.2
http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/M..._Final_jpg.jpg
UNFORTUNATELY we encoded a MAJOR problem with the box of the DDR Maximizer......It was designed, drilled and ready for the BETA Prefinal's metrics, BUT the final DDR Maximizer's PCBs have the holes about 0.33mm in different places from the prefinal one.....500 aluminum boxes are for the garbidge now......We gave the new dimentions of the FINAL one (yesterday) and we will get the new ones in about 20 days from now(as they said)....... :(
MANY problems for the begining of our new company........I hope they end soon.......BUT we will not give up......We will continue to work hard so as to provide the best we can to you.......and this is just the start.......MANY new things are about to show up from us in the near future......Stay "tuned"......... :D :toast:
Congratulations hipro, that absolutely rocks.
Great work hipro!!
I like the idea of not solder the led and display: good for modded case and for fast substitutions :)
I've used this type of connection in my little project :D
Good luck for the future.
wow......just wow....ill be a retailer for the US if youd like
Nice! :clap:
Hipro, Congrats on a job well done!
BTW YGPM sir :)
Thanks a lot guys......I'll update ASAP......from now on we will be fast enough - I hope - ....... :)
Wow, thats amazing. This really has come together. Cant wait to get one. What will the retail price be, if u dont mind me asking.
Price will be announced next week.......We have to add total cost of it......We are pulling things up to do so......Next week we will know...... :)
Nice piece of art :D Looks _so_ good. No other words for it. :woot:
I hope that XS members buck up and pay for this thing. Hipro5 has gone out on a limb to build this thing so lets support him with our $$$$
Put me down for one at any price (almost). :D
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Don't worry. I already have pre-orders and I'm sure Hipro has a TON of them so.....
and I don't think i'm the only Hipro 5 reseller in the world.... :)
So.... i don't think he'll lack orders but none the less, this is a GREAT and usefull tool people. I promise, you won't be dissapointed by it :)
Woot. When you have the final ones ready for sale can you send me one? Or at least get someone to retail them in UK.
The boys at CPUCity.co.uk will probably be willing to sell this in the UK if it has any interest in the UK. Look for 'Stella' on the forums. :)
yhea i'd be willing to take on UK also as a distribution/offset market.
Doesn't matter for me much though.....
I think Hipro will be enough busy by sending out the Maximizers to current preorder list... I'm on it as well :banana:, don't know though, 100th or 1000th :D
I deserve one first, because... err, I am superior~
bite me MasterOfPuppets, I'm reseller, we resellers get the first lot :p:
you be nice and wait for yource. If you don't be carefull we'll start a Hirpo5 reseller Union and we'll delay all deliveries ;) how do you like them apples? :)
No really, the first Maximizer I recieve goes into MY rig :p:
you can always bid for it :fact: :D
I want 1 :slobber:
When will they be availible in Europe (in any shop) ?¿ (i dont read all the post^^)
Regards
That looks great!!! I want one! :DQuote:

One thing to add is that the DDR Maximizer's Mainboard is made with 70u or 2 oz of copper (doubled cooper thickness than any other PCB in the market) so as to handle easily the heavy loads and it would not have "burned lines" in the future..... ;)
man, i dont know if its too late or not, but ive been following this from the begginging and i really still want it, hopefully i will be on the list for the first 500...
Go hipro, Go hipro :)
this thing is gonna rock :p:
retailers DO go before clientel no? ;)
I wanna test this baby, my Ram is gonna LOVE IT
:stick: :toast: :toast:
:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
Thats is some impressive work you did there Hipro5,respect man :bows: ,and good luck with the new company :toast: .
I can hardly wait,Entity_Razer dont forget me;):D,i have 2 set's of bh5 overhere thats in need of some burning:D.
Don't worry rocker I still have you on pre-order. I even have someone who pre-orderd 2 of these things :D
But first one I recieve = mine I'm afraid so.... :p: Tough luck
Okidoki Entity:up:.
BTW your a BE guy anyways don't know where exactly but most likly I'll do it that if you can pick it up ,those persons get first take. Why? Simple, it means money quicker.....
I don't know how I'm gonna work out the financial part, full downpayment upfront or with a 70-30% system but I'll see. Untill then people who can come pick it up where I live can get them if I have them.
But I think if I just say to hipro I have 12 pieces I need he'll just send 12pieces so..... don't sweet it guys :)
Let me know where you live with PM,i am living near Antwerpen;),o yes and i dont have a car so i have to use the bus and train.
I glad I have full fat broadband (4mb) so many photos, it looks amazing hipro5
I also live near antwerp. Alongside the river known to us as The Rupel. And if you are a VTM'r our fata morgana assignment:
Ar matey, ship ahoy, prepare to board!

That shall be me , il' keep the one that oc the best :D ( thats a joke ;) )Quote:

Tom
Hipro, any word on the release date? :)
and/or price? :)
sorry for the shameless bump but,....
HIPRO :)
Any updates?
I can´t wait to play with the maximizer... :slobber:
Nice work again ;) The Maximizer looks really good in final status. But its sad that u dont answer PMs :( :(
Bump.....I have been following this for...how long now...months?Quote:

:p:
;)
Yes Hipro, please come back and give us an update.... i still need one from any distributer in the US .......
I'll give you some updates next week....... :)
cant wait :D
Glad to see you're updating more frequently now. You mentioned Sept. 1st that you'd announce the price 'next week', but I also see that since then you had to trash the first batch of cases. I'm still eagerly awaiting a price and my interest hasn't changed.
If I snag one of these, I'll do my best to make sure everyone over at the Abit forums are jealous ;) Geil ONE takes up to 3.8v, this is definitely going to be a necessity for me.
-Luf
A "good" uptate I would say is:
People in U.S. will almost buy the DDR maximizer in US Dollars as people in Europe in Euros.......
What do I mean about that........I mean that when we will "export" the unit to US, we will NOT pay any taxes to our country for it......Taxes will be charged to US and at your customs offices......You now, you have less taxes than us.....Thas when someone in Europe buys the unit - let's say - 100 Euros, a guy in US will buy it almost 100+ US Dollars.......Not bad for start......We will see..... ;) :toast:
hipro5, don't celebrate the Greek national team victory in European Basketball Championships too much, get the Maximizers done :D
