OCZ DDR Booster – Your aid for real RAM overclocking
Author: Cameron Johnson SUMMARY: You've just gone and bought a brand new CPU, motherboard and memory. Once you finish setting up your new system you are ready to begin overclocking the system only to find that your motherboard doesn't have enough voltage to supply the memory. OCZ have come to the rescue with an intuitive device called DDR Booster which provides you with extra DIMM voltage up to 3.9 volts and a cleaner power supply to the memory. It's your aid for real RAM overclocking!

Introduction Memory is one of the most important things to consider when you want to overclock your CPU. When you push your CPU’s FSB to the limits, you aren’t simply overclocking the CPU but the memory as well. Memory modules obtain their speed rating by using the system bus and applying a ratio to it. Be it 1:1, 4:3, 5:3 or whatever your board allows, your memory isn’t going to stay in range for long when pushing extreme FSB speeds. The way to combat memory instability at high bus speeds is to increase the DRAM voltage. To get the overclockers seal of approval these days, motherboards must have a modest amount of DIMM voltage settings; otherwise they simply aren’t worth getting. However, sometimes you may get a board with less than stellar voltage selections or a board that simply cannot provide a clean enough signal to the DRAM modules – so, what do we do now? In the past you could consider it junk and find another which can do the job for you. This is now no longer the case thanks to OCZ Technology. OCZ, known for its memory modules that overclock like a freight train out of control has introduced a module that not only cleans out the voltage sent to the DRAM modules but also allows you to set voltages higher than your motherboards onboard voltage regulators are capable of supplying. Today come along as we take a look at one of OCZ’s most innovative memory products since the introduction of heatspreaders, the OCZ DDR Booster which is your aid for real overclocking.
