    The Vdimm gods have answered!

    "Overtop Overclocking DDR DIMM Expansive Module"

    http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=790

    I saw this on VR-Zone this morning while I was making my regular geek site rounds. Check out the link and post what you guys think.

    This looks especially promising for those folks that dont want to risk Vmodding, or don't have enough info on the ICs to do so. (cough, BH7, cough)

    Me: No why?
    Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
    Me: what PSU was that again?

    I bet it won't get you any higher clock speeds. Why? Because the data and address traces just increased in length by about 2 inches. At 300MHz that's a fair bit of inductance and crosstalk to deal with.

    When they fully hit retail, we'll see a bunch of reviews

    hmmm big pcb though ... means longer traces = lower oc, especially with tight timings :/

    but a nice alternative indeed

    Yep, but it looks ugly as sin.

    We'll just have to see if it does what it purports to. It would be a good alternative, but I too think that it will significantly degrade the signal, so you might not even get a higher O/C.

    I agree. Even if you can't vmod, someone close to you can and will cheaply. It's easy stuff.

    what you guys need to remember is trace lengths are now a mile out of tolerance.I would say your looking at damaging the OS the second you install this product.
    Got a problem with your OCZ product....?

    I'm happy with just vmodding the vdimm, its easy and cheap, unlike what that will be.

    id rather do a vdimm mod instead and thats what I did on my nf7. I most likley wont be doing that on the a64 rig im getting, cant afford to fry the ondie memory controller or break anything. besides im getting pc4200 ram that should do 300fsb at like 2.9v

    It looks like they COULD have made the traces shorter too, which is kind of strange. Deffinitly a nice idea though.

    Yeah I think that whole thing is a waste of time. Its a lot easier to just do the damn VMods...

    I mean crap? I bet noobs are gonna buy that and kill stuff left and right!

    You think the industry did this on purpose to raise sales ?

    I bet we would all be shocked of the price. I could see them charging >$50 for these

    You better believe the memory manufacturers are none to pleased about this.

    I would bet if more products like this come out, that the mem makers introduce some type of item into the circuit that will blow after a certain amoutn of voltage is introduced across the path. Then what happens...buh bye warranty. They will be able to detect that above spec voltage was applied.

    Not to mention the obvious problem with all that added height. Anything in that general area may end up causing mounting, unmounting, and dip switch changes a rather gruesome effort. Bah, I bet more dimm slots get burned out due to that thing than anything else. You wack one of those things while the board is live...no telling what would happen with all the extra torque due to the hieght of the extra pcb that will be placed on the slots. May be an esy thing to pop a slot, or cause a short.


    I like my women the way I like my processors...naked.

    Yep, it sure looks sweet. You guys have a good point about the longer traces. Now I know next to nothing about electronics, but wouldn't the fact that you're pushing quite a bit more juice through, cancel out the latency(?) of the longer traces? I dunno, we'll see.
