OCZ Technology Increases Memory Voltage: Voltage Boosting Device
 

OCZ Technology Group announced the release of the DDR Booster, a power-filtering and voltage boost diagnostic device. The product is likely to enable extreme overclockers with more options to improve memory speed.

OCZ DDR Booster Voltage Diagnostic Device with patent pending PowerClean Technology allows users to supply cleaner power to their memory modules, resulting in more stable memory. Additionally, users are able to view memory module voltage with the digital LEDs o*n the DDR Booster, allowing simple and inexpensive troubleshooting of the memory modules. Each OCZ DDR Booster allows VDIMM adjustments up to 3.9V and is compatible with the majority of DDR1 mainboards.


Insufficient or low-quality power in a number of cases does not allow memory modules to reach higher speeds. With conventional DDR SDRAM memory reaching 600MHz, further advancement is only likely to be possible after ensuring quality memory power circuitry on the mainboard. Since most mainboards cannot deliver more than 2.85V to memory, it is crucial to develop certain means to improving the memory voltage.

“PowerClean technology revolutionizes the way we approach issues relating to insufficient and/or “dirty” power that may hold back the full performance potential of memory devices,” said Dr. Michael Schuette, Director of Technology development at OCZ Technology.

The OCZ DDR Booster is compatible with all first generation DDR platforms. It is simple and easy to install. Pricing and availability are not announced by OCZ at press time.

Uhm, some people are questioning the use of such a device, as it could possibly destroy your mobo... Cos mobo sends up to 3,2V VDDR, and with such a device, you get a voltage of 3,9V, so your mobo gets 0,7V back in it's face...

I hope OCZ has found a way to solve this little problem...

the device can take/measure up to 3.9V, it doesn't produce 3.9V (That's what you meant right?)

:bash: I really have to start living up to freestyler's sig :bash:

Nope, it uses Molex connectors to give 3,9V on the memory banks... That's the point...

I think he figured that one out already :)

I say these new fangled contraptions are tools of the Devil!!!! Memory voltage increaser, my eye!

When I was a kid we had to walk to school in the blinding snow, in our bare feet, naked, with a block of ice strapped to our backs, up-hill, both ways, and when we got there, we had to wait hours for the teacher to show up, and we were grateful for it.

For lunch we ate dirt! And we were gratefull for that. Some time's we got to mix our dirt with water (on Fridays if we were good) and we were grateful for it.

Computers, HA, what's so great about computers? When I was a kid they shoved an abacus up our nose and made us do calculations by shaking our heads violently from side to side, and we were grateful for it.

Memory voltage increaser, tools of the Devil! :grin:

preach !!

Where 's that pimpsmilie when you need it :)

And I still believe the world is flat too! Memory voltage increaser, dam hippies!

*said the man with the flower power 'ish ava :p

JMKE your so good at what you do, you reproduced the photo, so it's better then the original?

:hello:

actually it is the exact same one ;)
maybe it stands out better with a dark background

Yes I know, I was just joshing ya. :D

Damn, too late to tell ya... Sorry guys, I forgot... Wallabie.com Mechelen had some person of OCZ coming in their store and you were able to ask questions about OCZ's products, like the PSU's, and the voltage booster... :(

I'm truely sorry...

BH-5 + 3.5v DDR



:o

You have one? I may get one next week, wow, you lucky dog. So how she work?

it's a pic from someone @ XS :)

with some luck, you can expect a review here at madshrimps :)

Yep, but it sucks... If you wanna use it on a NF7-S rev.2 board, you lose the Dual Channel function...

We'll have to wait then. And for mobo's with VTT Tracking problems you can't use full potential of the device...

Oh we'll have a review alright, come Hell or High Voltage...hehehedududududhhhh

I'm working on a new Optimizer myself.

I call it the;

Crab-o-master-flab-o-matic-crack-as-tic-skank-a-twank-ster-zip-crip-tippy-tripper-dingle-berry-puller-spooch-er-master-jam-twatic-big-ole-butt-o-clocker...

I basically take a lamp cord, cut the bare wires, attach one to each ear with binding posts (ear piercing kit comes in the box), place an LED in my mouth (clnech between teeth), hold a stick of memory in one hand and stick my other hand in my reservoir (or metal bucket of water). Then I plug it in. You have to use regular water, no dionized, and you get some serious action. I don't how much I overclock, because I keep waking up in the hospital smelling burnt flesh, with the OCZ logo burned into the palm of my hand. I'm definately getting a patent on this.

Stay tuned for the review

:super:

Drugs are evol !!

Bad Liquid, bad !!

:^D

do you even know how much the performance difference is between single/dual channel on an nForce2 mobo?

it's pratically NONE existant!

That'a amazing JMKE. I had this image in my head that Dual DDR is analogous to "Stereo" or something. And with Mono you were missing out. But I never knew the performance difference was that small!

This gives me a whole knew perspective on my Athlon64 3400, Chaintech ZNF3-250 system. Although Chaintech STILL hasn't released a BIOS which allows multiplier adjustment, using Clock Gen for nForce3 allows you to change the multipleir, but you can only use one stick of memory. So now I can place one 1024MB stick of Kingston in my board, have plenty of memory, and be able to overclock my system for real!!!

I had the same issue on my Shuttle AN50R. Only could change the multi when I used one stick of memory.

do note that those tests are for NFORCE2 AXP only, don't know if there is a large difference between SC<>DC on nForce3 boards.. with A64 FX CPU's

Do note that I paid a lot for Dual Channel memory... I don't see the point of using it in Single Channel and paid so much... :rolleyes:

if you gain more then 9 mhz fsb , there is a point of using it in single channel , even if you paid for dual channel.

but maybe a 3.3 V Voltmod @ the motherboard is more usefull for you
