256mb hyperx 3000 what chips it use?

[deathstar13]

as title says,
ii have 2 sticks coming i bought at a decent price but wonder whats under the heatspreaders as i dont have them yet.

ive read they should have BH-5's as mainly thats why i bought em.

[xDUCK]

Yes, I would think they are BH-5. Are there any sort of markings on the heatspreaders? Often you can tell within a reasonable degree of accuracy just by those (my Corsair TwinX3200LL has a number ending in "-5" and says "rev 1.1", both clues that it is BH-5 :)).

[deathstar13]

i dont have them in my hands yet.will be a few days as i bought them from another forums classifieds.

[sandman]

They should be either BH-5 or BH-6, either one will do good.

I think Macci had his up to like 270mhz, but with like 3.6-7 volts.

good deal i was kinda down as soon as i gave my word to buy these a deal popped up on hyperx3500 for the same price.
i wouldnt back out after giving my word.

i used to have hyperx3500 and loved them.even better than the xms3500 i had.mobo topped out at 230 but the hyperx ran that at lower voltage than the xms.
was 230@2-2-5 i beilieve.

hopefully this new nf7-s from newegg will do even better.

ok i have the info off the sticks.luckily he had it written down for his own prior needs.was packed and ready 4 shipping as i didnt want em unpacked for that.

KHX3000/256
9905200-017.A00
1668031 - 2.5V

both sticks the same. with 2.5 volts id suspect the bh5 is the chip.
2.6 would mean worse imo but i dunno.
ideas now?

how can you say from the code it's BH5?

[Evil_Spork]

the 2.5v rating and also the 2-2-2-6 rating. bh-5 wont rune 2-2-2, it will only do 2-3-3

Ya talking about ch-5 not running 2.0-2-2-5, do you?

And BTW where do you read these timings from??? :confused:

Run the nvidia configuration utility thing and look at the memory info. If it says 6ns access time then it's BH-6 if it's 5ns then it's BH-5. Mine must be BH-6 because it said 6ns access time in there. Oh well, it still does 210mhz 2-2-2-5 with 2.7 - 2.8v easy. 220-230 with 3v

It's only the spd-eeprom infos you get... That's how they programmed the sticks.

It has nothing to do with the chips itselves :(

The only reliable way to check what you got is removing the heatspreaders and looking onto the chip markings (could be relabeled though... but even then there's a way to find it out (a circle in the right position - iirc)).

[mrnuke]

almost posative they are bh-6, nomjr has some and they are just screamin. With the bh-6 chips you can run a few more volts through them than w/ the regular bh-5, so either way, they should scream.

This new RAM was identified as 6ns this morning, thanks for sparing me the indignity of crapping my pants...

:D

Mine has Kingston 5ns modules on it. Bought it for 50AUD (30USD) and it does this:

Does 210mhz stable at those timings.
