the only boards that have awesome voltage controlls are dfi, and those are only the good amd ones. your gonna hafta do a voltmod on the vdimm inorder to get that bh-5 to do anything good.

well that sucks

 

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

its not that tough. just read some voltmodding threads on www.xtremesystems.org, they have loads of guide on how to do all sorts of mods and stuff. you should probably droop mod that is7-e as well.

or you could get the OCZ DDR-Booster.

Also, Sapphire will be coming out with a board to rival the voltage and overclocking features of DFI soon. It will use the RS480 chipset.

i dont wanna mob my mobo

pick up a ddr booster then from OCZ. it gives up to 3.9v's and will let you give that bh-5 all the volts it wants. just actively cool that ram, or you can sell it, cause old bh-5 will fetch some decent cash these days.

But its so much fun

heh, i volt modded mine over the weekend, and i gotta say it was far from fun

400 degree soldering irons next to motherboards makes me nervous, but then again it was fine anyhow so so be it.
