people say bh-5 is designed for 3.6, but I doubt PCB's of the dimms are. That said, I don't see a problem running 3.2-3.4v provided you are cooling them.

depends on ram. BH-5 doesn't appear to get that hot under spreaders, maybe very warm to touch, w/out spreaders oc's tend to improve though. Some people refer to spreaders as heat blankets. OCZ EB gets very very hot though, I'd guess in the 40-50C range. I built a cooler for mine(see Asus 2.0 review on front page for pic of the cooler). I could oc about 8-10mhz more on ram with cooler.

ah, then forget what I said about the booster in the first slot

max rated voltage for Bh-5 chips is 3.6V yes.

I got my ddr booster set to 3.45V according to bios readings. and my sticks get pretty hot, and as you said, those EB sticks get quite a bit hotter, nearly burned myself

SuAside : If it doesn't work on any of board, maybe it's broken? get a new one and check again



Sorry about offtopic again but I heard OCZ stopped producing EB's? There were rumours about this a few months ago but it tunred out not to be true but this time, I heard it from my dad's OCZ supplier so it may be true this time. Anyone else know more of this?

Yes I will be reviewing the Hipro5 maximizer as well when it comes out. At least I have a request into him, and he agreed to send me model when it hits production.
I look forward to that as it should be alot more polished and even slimmer for easier install into dimm slot w/out interference
