Default 3.95v Memory Mod "Bolt On"

I've noticed quite a few boards out there that have some pretty lame options for voltage for the memory, especialy AMD.
The first one that comes to mind is the Shutle AN35N Ultra, wich can hit near 500FSB out of the box, but comes with a rather useless 2.7v

Here is a solution for those without soldering skills, however 3.9v is way more than is considerd "Safe" and it is adjustable, so I would not venture much beyond 3v unless you can afford to replace your memory


I'm sure Zennzzo's gonna be making all kinds of faces when he get's a look at these!

I can only shudder at how many problems will be caused with efficiency and stablity, I mean what does that extra inch inch and a half of trace-lines do? How will this affect latencies? Cost? Not to mention adding problems like PSU tranformers fluctuations, it be like being in the middle of a golf course during a thunderstorm..

not only is there problems with speed latency etc etc... but what about practicality?? the fact that peoples memory will be standing 3" tall, their gonna find problems usually associated with shuttle XPCs - theres no space under the hard drive bay! the bga ram sinks on my video card are in the way!

lol if they sell 100 of these ill consider them a hand shake and a welldone.
