DDR Maximizer on it's way......More Volts on our Rams....

[hipro5]

I've posted this on my local forum here in Hellas since 1-8-2004 (or 8-1-2004).......

I've started this as a poll to our local forum IF they wanted me to manufacture it or not........The votes (over 94%) were YES..........

I was on vacations and I came yesterday so........as ppl asked , I started to design it's cirquit.........

It will be called "DDR Maximizer diagnostic tool"

Here's the link of it.........You have to translate it somehow........

L I N K .......

It will have THREE Led Displays for MORE accurate Voltage reading......ex. 3.47Volts ..... Those led displays will be ON TOP of the PCB and not on it's side , so as the reading of the volts will be easier(don't have to put our heads into the computer's box to read it)......

Trimmer of 25 turns so as the Voltage trimming will be MORE accurate and "softer".......

PLUS.......It will have a FRONT PANEL for "anytime trimming"......Not to have our computer's box always open......

This front panel is been designed for diskette bay and later on for a 5.25 bay........

Here's how the front panel of the DDR Maximizer looks........



Front panel will be optional.......

As you can see there are three led displays , two dip switches(12 and 4) and a trimmer of 25 turns........

The dip swiches(tiny switches on-off) are for the voltage as the trimmer is........When ALL of the dip switches are OFF then the voltage will start from 2.80Volts( I don't think that is nessesary for lower voltage starting).........When the first dip switch is ON , the voltage will be 2.85Volts......When we put AND the second dip switch to ON , then the voltage will be 2.90Volts......When we put AND the third dip switch to ON , then the voltage will be 2.95Volts and so on......The voltage WITH the dip switches will go up to 3.60Volts(for more "secure" reasons) and with the trimmer will be up to 4Volts for more "dangerous" overclocking.......

This is the front panel of the DDR Maximizer.........How it looks???......I also would like some input of you guys of WHAT you would like to have on it for better and easier use........Thanks a lot.......

Drooling already!!!! I am sure its gonna be a blast
Watch out OCz

*edit looks great.. seems to have so many adjustments


edit 2: although trimmer could be a tad larger

[echow87]

Nice

[Cranox]

How much would it cost ??

It'll cost +/- 50 Euros the main board and I haven't figure yet the price for the front panel which will be optional.......

hipro5 - you are the man .
I'm glad that I live only 100 km. from you. When you will be ready with a test sample?

I think that the trimmer is OK timming it with a small screw driver coz if it's biger, it will be out of the front panel and we may "by mistake" touch it somehow and the volts go up suddenly.......

Yeah you may be right...
what kind of finish will the frontpanel be in?

I think I'll do it anodized "Lian Lee" black and alouminium colors.......

omg copYcATs!!11

j/k looks nice.

[avicenna]

Cool initiative Hipro5, i will follow this thread closely!

I have some BH-5 begging for more voltage.

[AcEmAsTr]

This may(Will) look better than the ocz booster, and may even be better, estimated price yet?

i'll be over in crete september 19th, do i get a free sample?

[mrlobber]

Do not let the Olympics weaken your concentration

looking forward to the progress on this, my p4 board isn't compatible w/ the OCZ booster

If you come to Crete for vacations drop me a PM or an e-mail and you'll have your FULL (main unit and front panel) DDR Maximizer for FREE.....

What mobo do you have?........

[eva2000]

Guess competition is good for us all

1 European Currency = 1.7138 AUD
50 European Currency = 85.69 AUD

[LilGator]

About $60USD not bad

I'm assuming this will be something to go in the ram slots like OCZs Booster ? And since this can have trimmers and adjustments on the front panel, maybe the acutually part that goes in the ram slot will be smaller (thinner) and be more compatable with boards that it won't fit in ?

[Lithan]

Wow... Damn good thing front panel is optional. Can you imagine a family member wondering "what this knob does"?

Epox 4PCA3+, damn good board, gets me 300+ fsb on my 2.4 w/ air and average voltages

[WesM63]

Damn, Hipro

Your pulling back all the stops huh

I can't wait to have some Hipro BH-5 and Hipro DDR maximizer.

Good work!

[hipro5]

Thanks guys......

I had an EPOX 4PCA3+.........When I was picking 3.3Volts for the Ram , it was REAL 3.4Volts..........Not a bad mobo.......BUT in high frequency it was about 150MHz lower than ABIT and ASUS.......Do not know why.......
