Technical Terms
From Extreme Overclocking
This contains all possible technical shortcuts we use. Not? Then add it! (In alphabetical order please!)
[edit]
General
- Cap = capacitor
- CERMET = Acronym of CERamic METal
- Electrolytic = A fixed capacitor consisting of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte
- FET = Acronym of Field Effect Transistor
- IC = Integrated circuit
- MOSFET = Acronym of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transitor
- PCB = Acronym of Printed Circuit Board
- POT = Potentiometer. Same use as Variable Resistors.
- PSU = Acronym of Power Supply Unit
- PWM = Acronym of Pulse Width Modulation
- SMD = Acronym of Surface Mounted Device, same as SMT
- SMT = Acronym of Surface Mounted Technology, same as SMD
- Traces = Lines printed on PCB that transmits electrical signals
- V = Voltage in any form ex: VDimm meens Dimm Voltage, Vcore means cpu voltage
- Vdroop = The difference between the set outlet pressure at a flow rate of zero and the outlet pressure at a given flow rate. Meens difference between BIOS setting and IC control.
- VR = Acronym of Variable resistor
- Vsense = PSU line that sense the voltage that the rail draws
[edit]
Motherboard
- VAGP = AGP voltage **Not helping Video Card core and mem overclock**
- Vcore = CPU voltage
- VDD = Chipset voltage
- VDimm = Memory voltage
- Vmem = Same as Vdimm
- VTT = Reference Voltage, 1/2 of vDimm (referred to as vbt on NF7)
[edit]
Video Card
- VDDQ = I/O Buffer voltage.
- VDDR = Voltage Supplied to DDR
- VGPU = GPU voltage
- Vmem = memory voltage
- Vref = Reference Voltage = to 1/2 VDDQ
