OCZ DDR Diagnostic Booster Works on these Motherboards.

[ElixXx]

DFI nF3 UT = yes ( 3.6volt ive tested ) , but with 2 DS sticks its unstable cuz the booster dosent fit in slot3

[Dani]

DFI LP 250GB = Ok, 4.1V in Booster -> 3.93V from mosfet -> 3.87V in SmartQuardian

Just got the Booster. Working great on MSI Neo 2 Platinum mobo.


Able to push my BH-5s.

(long time no post, in this thread)

well, its time (for me) to move on to 64s... anybody have a booster running in a Abit AV8 939 mobo? (which slot & how high? :banana4: )

thanks!

PS nice Storm WB htkm1 !!

[TridenT]

works fine - NF7-S with 3,6v.

[bug]

hi guys, i got the EpoX 8rda+ Rev2.1 ..and read that the booster isn't working on that mobo.. but i've just recieved one 8rda+ rev2.1 but Limited Edition, i noticed that the voltage regulator chip differs from that on the regular 8rda+rev2.1 , i'll be so happy to know if the booster works on the Limited Edition of the board.. and one last question: Is it dangerous for the board if i try without knowing if it will work or not.. and is there a chance that the booster will burn my mobo if it doesn't works?

I know that the title of this thread is motherboards that the OCZ diagnostic thing works in, but here is one that most definately doesnt.

DFI Infinity athlon board. Have a booster and thought what the hell give it try (yeah I know the site sand list in the box says not to use it on the lanparty nforce board, but I stupidly thought, it might work on the infinity). Put it in and then decided to ramp up the voltage a bit - turned knob to 3.4V and machine crashed - electrical burning smell!

Board will not boot at all, no matter what memory config I use the wee led beside memory no longer works. I hope to god that the OCZ ram is OK and the Radeon 9800pro and the XP-M 2500 are OK

What an ass I am!

[bug]

lol that sounds bad so i'm not going to try it with my new limited edition 8rda+ before i got 100% confirmed information that it works ..

I am also on Epox 8rda3+ rev 2.1,and i have a booster but it all depends on what psu you got,best is a 450w or above.

I run it with a chieftech psu 360w rightnow and cannot come above 3.1v with the booster,with 520w psu it will be easy over 3.4v and higher.

[seb87]

i make this at 3.4v

3.6?? .....when I put more than 3.4 the msi reset........why??

[trans am]

Just ordered this for a GB k8Ns Ultra 939. the xp works to 3.7v so I'm going to assume it works with this board too.

[burnhead]

anyone tried with abit AV8??

[Joe Camel]

this is a post in the "S939 mobos - known bugs, tweaks and fixes" thread:

some info on the:

Abit AV8
AGP-lock working
stable Vcore up to 1.85v
vdimm overvolts to 2.85v on highest setting, OCZ Booster working
use slot 1&2 for BH-5, 3&4 for TCCD.
BH-5 doesn't work well at all, no matter what voltage
runs great with tccd memory
CPU-temp readings way off

well, i just grew balls (or REALLY need to sleep...)
OCZ DDR Booster is in and running on my AV8
DDR @ 3.0V and DDR VTT is tracking (reads 1.54V)
upping on the fly...3.3V but VTT is still 1.55...3.4 but 1.5...

upped (in bios) DDR to 2.8 (max)...booster@3.2V VTT@1.66
could be bios setting could be reboot...

not real stable or "Mushie 222 rev 2"s ("new"? TCCD) dont like >3.0V...

be ready to get a fan on your MEM...pups got HOT!

[burnhead]

So it does work with AV8... Could this be that the Motherboard even ADDS its own VTT and the voltage coming form the booster, so it gives the ram ~6 VOLTS??
are u able to get the board stable with the booster in it? is anyone able to get it booster - stable?

[Joe Camel]

So it does work with AV8... Could this be that the Motherboard even ADDS its own VTT and the voltage coming form the booster, so it gives the ram ~6 VOLTS??

huh?

VTT should be 1/2 of VDIMM (+/-)

i should be able to get some better stats today (after my 4 hour nap)

[burnhead]

aahhh... i see... then it could be, that the board doesn´t read it out EXACTLY.... this little differences...

what a 4 hour nap?

[Joe Camel]

i put the booster in at like 5:45am and gave up and went to bed @ 7:45am and now its 11:30 - 12


EDIT:

ok i can now say that the VTT tracks after a reboot.
this is still @ (BIOS) setting DDR 2.8V (max) ... havent tested other settings
tested as high as 3.3V (VTT went to 1.70V)

id say we have a winner

PS geting a higher FSB with 3.3V vs 3.0 (Mushkin 222 V2)

[burnhead]

pardon? what does "VTT Tracks" mean???
what do you mean with "we have a winner"? is AV8 best board ever for clocking or what?

[Joe Camel]

as much as id like to say look it up yourself...

some mobo's (Abit NF7-s) dont "track" (keep VTT at 1/2 VDIMM) above the mobo's standard setting
and thus dont work well with the DDR Booster.

this mobo does... thus the "we have a winner"


PS doing some MAX mem tests (with 3.3V and relaxed timings) and the G-Skill "seem" to respond better than the Mushkins...

8rda+ rev2.1 Limited Edition .. not 8rda3+

my psu is 450w..

the only thing i know is that the voltage regulator chip differs from the regular 8rda+ rev2.1 and 8rda+ rev2.1 limited edition.. and the thing works on 8rda+ rev1.1 .. that's why i want to know if it works on the LE...

[Stinger]

Any1 tried the booster in Shuttles SN95G5 Barebone?

[Bluesman_dk]

Joe Camel:

I got the same combo.
I'm a bit currious.
Which dimm socket are you running the booster in?

[Facedeharicot]

Does it work with ASUS SK8N motherboard?

[andyOCZ]

Hey guys,

Well given that no one has posted about the EPOX 9NDA3+ motherboard I will :

DO NOT TRY THE BOOSTER IN THE 9NDA3!!

It ain't pretty what happens. It will cause MOSFET to explode. We all know what happens then. The board has been added to the official list on the OCZ website as incompatible.
