OCZ DDR Booster + Asus P4C800

jmke · 16th October 2004, 15:00

I installed the DDR booster in my P4 board, plugged in the some BH-6 Mushkin, booted up the PC. I'm getting no display from the LEDs on the unit; however they did work on my MSI K8N Neo motherboard.

so I start to increase the FSB, which stops at ~220 CL2 2-2-5. I then turn the dial on the DDR booster to the right side, but since I have no readout, I have no idea how much voltage I'm feeding those chips. I stop halfway and try again.. memory now runs stable @ speed and timings seen below.

any utility which allows me to read the DDR voltages from Windows ?

not that I know off,

hipro5's ddr "optimizer" or what does he call it will have Vdimm tracking but untill it's out and untill you get one for review (hint

) you could try and see if the normal reading points do the trick:

don't have a voltmeter

but thanks for the pic

edit: dug up an old vmeter, it works

it's not very accurate but I was able to calibrate it to 3.0v

thanks Kristos

Your dial volt meter meeting 2004 technology reminds me of a grand father talking to his grand kid.

How lovely? they do seem to communicate well with each other.

Try MBM (or speedfan or whatever you prefer), because sometimes it read your VMem (like it does on my mb)

actually need 3.3+ for 250 CL2

MBM5 does not read vmem on Asus

Any comparison!

When you get a chance show 2-2-2-5 vs 3-4-4-8 (p4), please.

the cause could be the -5V line missing from ATX connector on Coolermaster RP450w
