Tram octane - eAkGBG - 11-14-2018

I have Si and se board. Will THE Si tram module work in THE se board?

I think it fits physically, but the SE card runs the TRAM at a higher frequency, so effectively you would be overclocking your SI TRAM module if you put it on an SE card.

Whether it will burn out or just create visual artifacts, I don't know.

i hawe a later version as it seems. 030-1277-002
as there is a 030-1277-001
is there any information on perhaps they made that later one works on both or not. I have 2 modules. Trying to decide if I keep it as a spare part or try to sell it.would prefer to run my se board with tram.

It would appear "I" type (SI/SSI) TRAM's are 1277-001 1277-002 for newer and 0961 for older while "E" (SE/SSE) type is 1263.

This from Ian's website.

My module looks THE same as THE se One but without THE 37mhz sticker THE others 001 version is missing THE indentation om THE aluminium. So om just thinking maby they Made it THE same. Of they just updated THE best apreader design but THE chips are differential Speed still

EDIT: OMG i hate typing on the phone.

My modules look the same as the 37mhz modules but only the sticker is missing. If I look at pictures of the 001 the heat spreader looks different.
So I'm thinking maybe they made that 002 version the same for se cards and si cards only not applying the sticker. or they just updated the heat spreader design and the ram chips are different.
