Well guess what this does?

[Tony]

Its Alpha...But we have a PR and final units ready to ship real soon.

let me know what you think it does

[enroscado]

- Increases Vdimm, or...
- Tests RAM

Close?

[Tony]

What would you hope it did?

[Malachia]

What would you hope it did?

coffe&cookies

[enroscado]

I hope it would do one fo this:

- Increase Vdimm
- Find maximum NB overclock
- Test for RAM errors
- All

Edit: I've been stearing at the picture for like 20 minutes, nevermind if i post crap.

BTW, BT, if you want, you can PM me telling me what it is. That way, you let everybody else guess.

[RootX]

I think that it measures the Vdimm(the Volts are shown by the 2D dislpay) and propably increase it from the pot on the upper right corner.

[Tony]

It doesn't test ram...sorry on that one.

It will help make vdimm mods a thing of the past though

It's ok, i'm not good at guessing.

Neat.

But...isn't that encouraging OCZ customers to void their warranties?

[Tony]

Well yes and know..it works with other ram brands also..LOL

[Jrocket]

Yes, I remember this product being talked about before. Looks promising, however people were worried it might slow the performance down clock to clock. What results have the tests yielded?

* Big and might take up 1-2 ram slots
* Performance ?
* Expensive ?

Other than that, might be promising...

[Tony]

Well i told you it was Alpha..the final is a little different to this, and should only take 1 slot.

The other unit we saw a few weeks back is not a patch on this...this unit will power 2 dimms and is NOT fed off a fan header which would blow in a matter of secs at extreme clocks.

[DoGMaN]

Looks to me like it displays the (ram?) voltage. Guess it also supplies voltage as well?

Well BH5 loves it m8... but you need to keep it cool . Also you may have a board with no vdimm controll at all..this will give it to you

[DoGMaN]

I'm convinced Where can I get one

[Cucumber]

Just tell us

Um, he has done that already.

[Tony]

Well i can post some more info.

The unit is fully Patent applied for and has been for quite a while.
It features vdimm control from 2.5 to 4.2v although we "may" limit the max a little lower.It reads applied voltage on the readout so you see 2.6 2.7 etc.It has full voltage filtering on the dimm so should actually allow the ram to clock higher.

Most boards have a resistor divider network for VTT so this usually tracks ok with this unit, however the IC7 as we know doesn't so you would need a VTT mod on this board. We have had VERY good results with the voltage modules and they have allowed us to max every IC we have thrown at them on most every board.

[Cucumber]

So how does it work? You plug it into one of the RAM slots, and then it changes the voltage to all?....Or you plug the RAM into the device ??

Either way, looks wicked ...and if the RAM plugs into it, would it not also help the issue with onboard A64 mem controllers

[eva2000]

more importantly post some ram oc'ing results with it

[EmineM]

up to 4v pleassssssse :p

*drool *

[Jrocket]

I agree with eminem... please!

[Tony]

Well Eva trust you to show up looking for benches..LOL

Its 4.2V max at the mo but things may change..we will see.

Results for me were i was able to hit 262fsb EB@2.5-2-2-5 on the P4C800E where i got 3-2-2-5 at 256 with 2.85V..so i maxed my dimms here.
I had OVER ddr600 with 4400beta at 3.4V and my BH5 gained 6fsb over their last max on unmodded boards.

I must stress my unit is Alpha and has no filtering on board so the new units will be a little better..i can and will mod my unit to full shipping specs so there will be more results soon.

The unit does take one dimm slot..the ram plugs in the board as normal as if it didn't trace lengths would be a mile out and no voltage would help the dimm clock.

The shipping units will be available for A64 boards also with the pot vertical etc so you should still be able to run 2 dimms.

[Tony]

Another pic for you guys...as you see its fed off the ATX line.Final product will be neater of course...
