Today I went to the shop an took home this memory kit from kingstone. It´s HyperX 3200 2-2-2. From all I´ve read this should be BH-5. The box name is : KHX3200K2/512. Actually I´m running prime95 at 230 2-2-2-6. This is for sure BH-5?? The thing is that I´ve paid 140€ for them (like 170$), and if they aren´t BH-5 I have 7 days money back guarantie.
Thanks

yep you've found a good one there. How much volt are you feeding them to get it to 230 2-2-2-6?

At this moment running prime 95 233 2-2-2-5 but can´t say how stable just 20 minutes running. 3.1v in a Abit NF7 2.0. CPU enabled and Dual channel.

15 minutes of Prime is enough (for me :P )
Try memtest86

Same here I normally run both prime95 and memtest86 inorder to call it stable, I run them both at least 24hrs to be safe. Sometime memtest run fine all night with no error but prime95 error out at 7-8 hours or vice versa.

I got same ram as you but its not the dual pack, its single pack one is made in china, one is made in USA, both from diff stores, KHXpc3200/256 and running 238 fsb 11-2-2-2 @ 2.9V only with 1.7V on chipset
Keep in mind, that its not the ram that may not be doing so high, but your motherboard, try raising the chipset voltage and see what you can get.
I have 2 NF7-S's, one of them fails to do 238 fsb 11-2-2-2 but the other can do it with ease.
Keep that in mind

I have a set of KHX3200K2/512 coming in.
Hope she screams.
It will be a competition between the Mushkin L2s and the HyperX.
Who is gonna win I wonder.
My money is on the Mushkin.

233 2-2-2-5 at 3.1v fully stable. I´ve lowered the volts down to 3.0v and it is fully stable at 233 2-2-2-6. If I try 5 or 11 the ddr voltage drops down like by 0.5 volts and prime stops. I think is the motherboard or the PSU, but the PSU is a true power 480 and the cpu is underclock at this moment. I´m going to try with a new motherboard.

I take it you are measuring the Vdimm (ddr) right off the motherboad mosfet..?
Have you done meter readings on the Vdimm and the 3.3v rail of the psu to make sure the psu rail is strong and stable?

Good stuff but pretty expensive. You can get 2x512 KHX3000 BH5 for about $200 from zipzoomfly, but I dont know if they ship overseas.

Woowww!!! Just measured the volts with a multimeter directly form the atx connector and something has to be wrong!!!
3.3 V @ 4V!!!!
5V @ 6.1V!!!!
12V @ 14.6!!!
The psu is not modded at all. I have to RMA this crazy psu. I´m going for the True control 550 is it any good?? Here in Spain we can´t get Pc & Power or Fortron so I guess thats the best one.

What bios are you?? Any additional cooling to the board (mosfets, southbridge, northbridge) CPU enabled??
Thanks

Why would you RMA a PSU like that?! Sure, the rails are above spec, but that should be an asset, not a problem! :)
