Has anybody seen these RAM boosters on the market yet? I've been dying to buy one (or two) to plug into my board, but can't find them anywhere. Link me up somebody

Looks like its not yet in avalible in retail. I looked at several sites and did a few searches and found nothing. Everyone and there mom got the press release but i did not find any one who had one. Sorry man.

I got one the other day. I'm a beta tester so that is how I got mine but a few online shops already had some in stock and soldout so you'll need to wait for the next batches to get out.

In the mean time here are my results so far and some pics.

Ok here is my first run

Asus P4C800-DLX rev 2
OCZ pc3200 plat ltd edition (bh-6) 2x256MB
2.4C w/ stock cooler
9800pro
Enermax 651W psu
Vdimm set at 3.5V through booster and vdimm in bios at auto.
Timings are 2-2-2-6-8-64T-64uSec PAT On- Turbo on

Tested 20mins of memtest 86+

HOLY COW.... :supz:

That is some insane voltage... Let us know where to find a seller in America!

I was running 3.93V last night for a few hours and memtested overnight at over 3.7 :p

You could have found them here but they all sold out. I would wait till newegg has them because prices should drop across the board.

has anyone purchased one of these things since the discussion in june? frozencpu.com has them in stock now (only 3 though) for $56. newegg.com has them for $47.

also, dumb question but will this work with other memory like hyperx, or just ocz memory?

most memory has internally voltage regulated IC's... PCB's and IC's were not designed to filter/run voltages this high... I'd reserve this for the top .05% of overclockers who are expecting to fry stuff.

that makes sense. seems like this thing would really have taken off if it is as useful as they claim.

Yeh, I got one. Firstly, mine doesn't have a copper heatsink, it's aluminium - same shape tho.
The unit itself worked really well, it was easy to dialup the required voltage, reset it to another voltage - no problems calibrating it whatsoever.
There's only one problem, the system must see the device as being an actual RAM stick, coz as soon as I place it in the 1st slot (can't fit anywhere else), and put my 2x 512MB sticks of Corsair XMS3500 (BH-5) in, it goes from 1T to 2T, and I lose about 2,000 in 3DMark2001SE.
Sadly, I will have to sell it.

Oh, by the way, I have a DFI LANparty UT nF3 250Gb mobo.
