How to identify ram?

[jmg823]

how can i tell if my ram is ch-5 or not even that good?

[EdgarBaba]

Check on the chips on it. It says what kind it is.. If there is a heatspreader you have to pull them off to be sure..

[skate2snow]

Theyre is two way: The first one by the codename(some edition are BH5 100% sure). Second: Remove the heatspreaders

[Techmasta]

He has value ram. They shouldn't have heatspreaders. Just write down what it says on the chips and post it in this thread.

[jmg823]

will do asap

[skate2snow]

If you have some valueRAM theyre probably BH6;).

But check it out;). Its the last three caracters at the end of the first line

[jmg823]

is bh6 better or worse than ch5?

[Aldus]

BH6 is better, but if its newer valueram I doubt you have BH6. If you do, consider yourself lucky.

[jmg823]

what does newer stuff have?

EDIT: BTW i have gotten my timings down to 1:1-2-3-3-5@stock volts

[skate2snow]

say us whats your chip, and we can help you to say which timing;)

[jmg823]

the chips say:

V68698
O342 PQ1
D3208D1IR-5A

what it mean?

I had 2 sticks of KVR DDR400 withCH-5 written/stamped on them.

I'm thinking that yours might not even be Winbond... Mine said Winbond ------CH-5.

Kingston may have changed the way they stamped the chips though...

just my 2 cents..

The chips have Kingston on them? They are relabled by Kingston.

[jmg823]

well the packaging says:
KVR400X64C25/256

[Sovereignty]

No idea what kind of chips those are. Googled but couldnt find any part of that model number. Must be relabeled.
