Recently we have been talking about overclocking on newer components or even just released ones but in the past days, one of our fans showed us an interesting project and we believe it deserves a little space in our section news. Alessio is doing an amazing retroclocking job that requires a lot of patience and precision.

Bong313 is doing some experiments on DDR1 RAM, or more precisely, on modules with BH5 chips. His idea is to transfer the memory chips from a JEDEC PCB 512MB, on two Brainpower PCBs, in order to obtain a 2x256 kit. The phase of de-soldering and soldering requires an almost maniacal precision, as each chip has 66 pins which require to be soldered. In addition to this, the memory bank requires an SPD programming, which is done by using a special tool. The project is definitely very interesting and you can check out more over at the TechArena: Project
