Did you know OCZ 3500EL wont run at 3.5v 24/7 itll run about 24/2.4 then you gotta buy new ram!

[mad mikee]

Yeah broken der HWare b4.

Now that I can get a tool specifically designed for the task....


ALL I HAVE ARE DFI UIs

Oh well looking at mobile A64 / 754, (suggestions as to most usable W/O buying a 2nd/ normal CPU just to boot the first time?)

280 fsb 2-2-2-5 1:1 @3.8v ( BH-5 )
Picture

Btw anybody know how much volt a BH-6 stick ( 512mb ) may have
I know that BH-5 is rated 3.6v , but what is BH-6 rated ?

[masterofpuppets]

I'm gonna start a site/community called "We break stuff" where everyone has to purposely damage hardware by overclocking

[Jeff]

I'd be a proud member... with a video or two to prove it.

I think I may register that domain! I love it!


BTW Steve, (MrSpec) I knew you were a little looney, but 3.95volts! Looks like I need to try this booster in my P4C800-E to see just how high I can run my pc3200 Corshair bh-6. 3.95vddr sounds mighty fun Care less if I lost them, and don't want to try in my A64 rig as I am sure to take out more than the ram!

Did I just see a request for a CPU and video card voltage booster.

[WildKard]

I dont think there is much need for a CPU Voltage booster, as most enthusiast boards now give you more than enough voltage and as CPUs mature require less voltage to OC high

HOWEVER...if you could manipulate the vcore vddr vref vtt on a videocard that would make for some spectacular results especially if it functions as good as the DDR booster...although this sounds near impossible...or is it?

Ryan,
'grats on the great new product.... now if I can just FIND one!

[althes]

wish i could also.but its a great prodct from what i am seeing s far.

[Jeff]

Hey Charlie... you want mine?

The first time I went to use it... it fried my Epox 8KDAJ motherboard(hopefully my 3200+ is ok). I set it up just like the manual says(even though an idiot could set this thing up without any manual) and when I went to adjust the Vdimm... POP... SMOKE... Vreg D.E.A.D.. Funny thing is... I'm the one that started this thread and as fate would have it... I'm the first to use it for what it was created for.

I'm serious about you having my Booster. It will be a while before I get another A64 mobo and I don't feel like getting my XP-m setup back out to play with right now.

If you want it... it's yours.

[Jeff]

It seemed to be working fine then at 3.2v POP!!! Which is funny since I could use a VR to get up to 3.5v(didn't try any higher).

Oh well... it's my own fault since the board wasn't on the "approved" list.

Care to Comment on That?

I SURE as H*** don't want that to happen to my A8V/FX-53!

[Jeff]

He's probably going to reiterate that the board wasn't on the approved list and that there may be a mod. that needs to be done for A64 applications...

Thanks Jeff,

In The Meantime, I'm Not So Much in a Hurry Anymore To Receive or Use That Item Until It Is Tested Further!

I Want to be able to At Least Try out My New PNY 6800 Ultra Next Week Without Paying Another Grand($$$$) for a CPU/MoBo!

Tell me about it
Now we need a dryice container for the RAM

[althes]

that would be just wrong

[froudeg]

My own 'booster'



Pumps out anything from 2.15v to 5v (adjustable)....Tis a switching supply that can supply 20 amps, doesnt even get warm...unlike the OCZ booster which uses a linear supply that gets toasty and unstable as ya crank voltage up very high (the regulators cant cope)

[Garrett]

Nice... any pics of it 'in action'? :thumbsup:

267Mhz cas 2-5-3-2 (dual DDR), 2 sticks of 512mb
is lookin prime stable atm
