Hence this Booster permits you to provide more volts to memory, but where does it pull it from? It comes from special Molex connectors. Remember when I said not to utilize connectors from PSU? That is because voltage does not follow PSU Molex connectors.
A PSU Molex connector has one 12v (yellow), two ground (black), and one 5v (red). The special blue connector has a ground, +5v, +5v, and ground. The yellow has ground, +5v, -5v, and 12v. You can notice that this thing could rapidly suck up much power from 5 volt rail. When I utilized booster, I saw a slight drop in 12v rail and a good sized drop on 5v rail. The 12v dropped about .1-.2v when maxed out. The 5v dropped .3-.4v. If any of your rails are on weak side, this could very simply be the end of PSU.
