DDR Maximizer V.1.2

[malware]

It looks like that one of the well known XS members-hipro5 has a new toy to show. His device called DDR Maximizer V.1.2 provides external voltage to the physical memory (DDR modules) of your computer, with the intention of helping them work at a higher frequency than the rated. It also helps to diagnose your physical RAM for possible errors that may have, by supplying them with various voltages, which the user himself can choose from the front panel. The DDR Maximizer V.1.2 supports various DDRI/DDRII/DDRIII memories through different PCBs. The device provides up to 4.2volts for DDRI, up to 3volts for DDRII memory and VTT control up to 2.1volts. It has overload, overvoltage and overheat protection, too. The DDR Maximizer V.1.2 is available in 2 different (black, silver) faceplates and 2 different (red, blue) display colors.

And how much it cost?

And how much it cost?

164EUR!

For totally shit! This is crappy stupid thing for nothing.

 

[sinner33]

Money is better spent on better memory, not this thing...

 

[oldschool]

The sheep aren't too smart so this POS should sell well enough to generate a nice profit.

Wow way to go guys. You're the sheep here.

Hipro5 is an xtremesystems.org member and one hell of an electrical engineer.

This is a product designed to provide ram with smooth power, and any voltage you desire.

Please, if you think its complete crap, don't bother posting when you dont have a clue what it is.

This thing is a work of art for overclockers, and just what many us were wanting.

I'm just glad to see hipro finally made it to production with this thing!

 

[Makaveli]

I agree this product is for serious overclocks, and will sell well to that crowd. The nubs that just posted should shut the hell up and stick to buying dell computers.

 

[giorgos th.]

it`s just a state of art for extreme overclockers from Hipro.go Greece!!!!!

It is totally holy crap, many on XS ordered this amateur thing and NO ONE got it, on this planet is ONLY ONE piece of this crap, only for reviews and photos ... No one need this, if you can run your RAM to the max, buy OCZ booster ..., not this "NOOB YOUR MEMS KILLER"

You say it is crap but you say that noone has got one yet..?!? I don't really understand you at all...

Mods will be cleaning this crap up.

Idiots need to stop spamming bs they don't have a clue about.

 

[W1zzard]

i doubt 164 € only remotely covers his cost .. i assume he's doing most of the soldering work on a premade pcb .. in low volume this will be very expensive .. not even figuring in development costs

 

[POGE]

This is for breaking WR's. Not for normal nerds like us.

 

[XooM]

this thing DOMINATES. deal with it. anybody who says otherwise is clearly a noob. Hipro5 is one of the BEST voltmodders and electrical engineers i know, a class act overclocker and all around great guy, as well as a very friendly member of the community for numerous years. This product is tons of times better than the OCZ DDR booster, as this thing will provide rock stable voltages in nigh any condition and for 3 different memory platforms. Prepare to see BH5, TCCD, and D9 fatbodies fly to new levels. WRs, here we come

 

[shadowing]

I think you guys really shouldn't be dissing this product.

Many overclockers out there right now would probably more or less want something like this.

I, for one, really would want to get one. Why?

I found out my OCZ PC4000 Platinum EB's are really sensitive to low voltage. At least with this, I can get the precise low voltage I need.

hipro5 IS one of the BEST volt modders and EE out there. He is friendly and above all, cool.

This is just another device for overclockers that REALLY want to get the #1 spot.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Seems like it would be a good product, 4.2v on DDRI modules, that's great(DFI only goes to 4.0v) and 3.0v to DDRII is crazy. If I was an extreme overclocker, I would definately get it. I'm sure this would work great with OVZ modules since they used OCZ's technology to allow external power to physical memory.

OCZ's "method" simply provides power through overriding the mobo voltage Ram used has no effect

Hi there......

I would like to be in a corner of your place just to see you plugging your OCZ Booster into one of your ASUS P5WDH mobo's slots you seem to have - from your profile - .....

I wonder how easy is to wright one or two lines in a forum to accuse a thing that you don't even know and you didn't even bother to read about it (so as to accuse it well with facts), than to design/redesign and redesign, work, test for many hours (24/7), manufacture and sell at last, a thing that you MUST be sure it won't let down anyone who buys it.....cause you have pushed it THAT hard in tests for 24/7.....

Here's a "brief" description of it so as to know what you're accusing......

Well what does it do!.....

First of, let's see some things.
Today we need more and more Ram into our computers....Not enough the 2 x 512MB any more....
Now....Motherboard manufactures give as more voltage that the past....Let's say a manufacturer gives 2.4Vdimm max through bios....When he designed his mobo, he kept in mind to give more ram power, so he placed the proper circuit and the proper output power Mos-Fets for it.....He gave a bit more voltage too (2.4Vdimm).....Calculating all these amperes with voltage and the current the ram modules draw, he did well.....BUT....Here comes the "BUT"....He didn't have in his mind that some "crazy" people (like us) will mod his mobo so as to reach even 3Vdimm.....
Keep in mind that the more Voltage we feed the rams, the more current they draw......ALSO raising the Vdimm, the current of the rams raises NOT exactly gramical but "to" logarithmic.....
Example: Let's say that our rams at 1.8Volts draw 3A.....At 2.4Volts they will draw 9A and at 2.65Volts they will draw 14A.....NOT to mention what they will draw at 2.85Volts..... OR if we place 4 x 1GB ram modules in....

In real, 2 x 1GB DDR2 ram modules at 2.65Volts, draw 14A - 16A at full load which is about 40 Watts.....4 x 1GB DDR2 ram modules draw 80 WATTS....In this case we need a VCore circuit for the rams and not 1 or 2 "tiny" Mos-Fets.....One reason that when we overclock 4 x 1GB ram modules, they don't do well at all, it's because our mobo just CAN'T supply them.....TOO MUCH load for it, EVEN at 2.4Vdimm.....

In such a case we "press" TOO MUCH the onboard Vdimm circuit and OUT of it's limits.... .....If the manufacturer has made the "mistake" (not mistake for him though) and hasn't placed at least a heatsink (which is not enough though) on the output power Mos-Fets, then 2 things (or more) happening:
a. TOO much heat on and near the Mos-Fets, which little by little spreads around the mobo,
b. TOO much fluctuation of the Vdimm voltage
This means that the rams COULD NOT reach their frequency limit because we "stop" them by the fluctuation of the Vdimm....

Now here comes the DDR Maximizer to "help" the mobo by:
a. The ram modules draw ALL the power they need from it and NOT from the mobo which results in a COOLER mobo (and perhaps avoiding of blowing a mobo's output Mos-Fet from heat and "pressure") and
b. STABLE output Vdimm which results to push our ram modules to their REAL limit by providing ACCURATE and stable output voltage and VERY well filtered as well.....

When we plug the DDR PCB into a slot of the mobo, then our ram modules draw ALL the current (power) they need from the DDR Maximizer and NOT from mobo....

 

[hipro5]

i doubt 164 € only remotely covers his cost ..

It's difficult in the begining.....
In low volumes you don't get that much - it doesn't pay back your money that you have spent for manufacturing it, your time and effort BUT I hope we'll do well and get some money later on with this and with our upcoming project......

ALL HAIL HIPRO!

Seriosuly man, BEAUTIFUL device as I'm sure you've heard that plenty of times so far!!

If I had the money to spare for one of these, I would get one wether I needed one for my mobo or not... its simply an amazing tool to have!

Thank you VERY MUCH M8.....I'm doing my best for us overclockers....
You know, if someone buys it - let's say today - it's NOT like a motherborad that after 3 - 6 months will through it away cause of the upcoming technology or so....It's an "investment" somehow coz it supports up to DDR3 technology and I strongly believe - from what I've read so far as for the future - it'll support EVERY DDR technology that will come even in the far future, UNLESS "they" find a way NOT to supply the Ram Modules with Voltage......
So a todays buyer EVEN in the future, the ONLY thing he has to do so as to upgrade it, is to buy only a DDR(?) PCB, (XDR) PCB (about 15 - 20 Euros) and plug it in.....That simple.....

 

[giorgos th.]

Gio,upcoming project i see....

 

[hipro5]

upcoming project i see....interesting..

Yeap.......Though never have been said anywhere so as to be a BIG surprise!....
No one knows anything about this, except from some people which can be counted in one hand fingers....

 

[giorgos th.]

i`m sure that it will be sucessful like the maximizer.no doubt about it m8..

 

[hipro5]

Thanks M8.......I think it'll be much more successfull coz it'll be something that everyone needs, plus us overclockers......
