Introduction

You might have seen this little gadget that we will look at on other websites lately. We have a DDR booster from OCZ which boosts your memory voltage so you can overclock some extra. Well does it work? That is what we ar here to find out so stay tuned.

About Ocz:

Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia’s Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset’s. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory’s SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today�s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process.

I belive you get the point of what product this is right when you look at the box. The product iself was extremely well packed and padded inside the box. Included is a small manual, compatability chart, and the power cable.

You connect the power cable between the ATX connector and the motherboard and then you plug in the color coded molex connectors into the booster. You can see that there are color codes on the booster and the cables to make it as easy as possible to plug in.

On the booster OCZ has mounted a display that displays the voltage on your ram. This display updates 3 times a second. Then we have the as we already said earlier the color coded molex connectors. You cannot connect normal molex connectors to this.

Then we have the small knob that you can twist to boost up the voltage, be careful though and take one step at a time not to fry anything. On the back we just have a bunch of soldering points.
