bh5 steppping database

[SAE]

i really doubt it's board...hehe
My other boards I had before only needed 3.34V to get me 260 11-2-2-2-2.0 stable... so go figure.

[Shroomalistic]

Some to add to the database

Patriot pc3200 winbond ch-5 0317WI
2*512mb 250@ 2,2,3,5 memtest and prime stable @ 3.4volts

I just came up on some 2*256mb No Name bh-5 (247WE W942508BH-5) and Ive been burnin it in. Ive been able to run memtest86 test #5 for 18 hours now at 260x8 with absolutly no errors. Now when I try to go into windows it is very unstable. I also have some ch-5 and some twinmos 43b's and both of them will do 260x8 or 260x10 stable. Even if I drop the mem down to 250 windows is still laggin majorly and no way will it even run one test of 3dmark. Ive tried every timing possible on this ram and its no help. I know the ram can do those speeds and I know the board and processor can, just not all together. Does anyone have any advise for me? This is really mind boggling. I meen one of the 2 sticks are memtest stable at 270 2,2,2,5 timings but on that same stick in any slot at 250, it still wont stable out. I tried every LTD and lowering or raising it dont help.im on my dfi 250gb and im using the Jess 10/15 bios just so every one knows.

[saaya]

thx a lot shroomy :toast:

hmmm i guess its your cpu man... some 754 cpus seem to reach up to 290 with 2 512mb sticks, others cant get past 240... :/

ah about the bh5, lease let me know how much vdimm your runng them at so i can add them to the database :D doesnt matter if its sc :)

[Shroomalistic]

thanks saaya, the bh-5 is stable at 265@2,2,2,5 with 3.6v

[Waus-mod]

I have also an add to the database,

- 310we 250mhz 3.3v 2-2-2-5
- 312we 255mhz 3.3v 2-2-2-5

Both sticks are Corsair cmx256A-pc3500C2pt (xms3502v1.1)
2x256 ddr

Both memtest stable

[TEDY]

grrrr how can you all get 250-255 with 3.3vdimm :p

i barerly get around 245 stable....

[saaya]

thx a lot waus mod! :toast:

and shroomy, thats the oldest bh5 in the database!!!! :D week 47 of 2002! :D

KHX3200K2/1G

is it BH-5 ?

[Shroomalistic]

Update, been burning in my CH-5 for the past couple of days. It now rus at a 2,2,2,5 timings were before it would only run at 2,3,2,5 timings. wouldnt even boot at 200 2,2,2,5. After alot of agressive burning in, it is now memtest stable at 250 2,2,2,5 timings with 3.4v. Sad thing is my rig wont get 3d stable at 250 @ 2,2,2 timings with any ram.

[bass]

Hiya fellas is this BH5.

[funkflix]

Don't think so!

[SAE]

Hiya fellas is this BH5.
Definitely NO. :(

Look at the chips - they have four circles in the corners... BH-x chips always have have two circles located in the central area of each chip. Furthermore they have two metal dots looking at the chips from above.

Yours may be hynix, samsung or micron... maybe mdt or nanya ;)

welcome to XtremeSystems elixxx :toast:

can you tell me the chip code of the khx? that first stick looks like bh6, dont think there was bh5 back then already.

dfi nf3 754, right? did you try more vdd? i heard the early nf3 boards are stuck at 260fsb in 1:1 without a vdd mod :)

@saaya the pleasure is all mine

Sorry cant take the heatspreaders off
Serial Number 012E71C8h

thanks mate :D

yeap im on a dfi lp nf3 250 ut.

VDD? that is the chipset voltage? think ive runned it on 1.7 or 1.8 not sure.. i just might juice it up to 1.9..

funny thing of the khx3000 sticks.. both of em are dubble sided. so first stick are kingston relabled "0306" on both sides. and the other stick , the one side are "0306" and the other "0319" from wat ive read the 0319 are ch5 ? or? funny that they used 2 diffrent chip on a stick of ram :confused:

[Rabbi_NZ]

I am looking at buying a 256mb stick of ADATA PC3200 that is about 18 months old... it is rated at 2-3-2-5... can someone tell me if the chips on it are BH5 or not please?

The code on the IC's is:

I can't pull the heatspreaders and the program I d/l isn't telling me the week of production for them but I have 2 x 511 Corsair 3500 C2 v1.1 that do 252 and 257 single channel with 3.2 volts in my AN7

[ElixXx]

okey.. little more testing my 2x256 "3125E" does 267mhz 1.5-2-2 @ 3.59 volts. just 3 mhz from 270 pisses mi off :S changing cas latency dosent affect anything.

if i set my DDR booster over 3.6 volts my system bootds award CMOS thingy :/

As far as I know these are A-Data labled Mitsubishi Chips. No Winbond there. ;)

[funkflix]

Or Infineon 5B, they have the same Timings on 200 MHz (Corsair PC3200C2 Rev. 3.1).

[rapra]

saaya: not KHX - normal 'Value RAM'. Stepping WE.

[ElixXx]

btw does the BH-75 clock good to? ive seen a DDR266 stick with those ICs

[celemine1Gig]

I once had a stick with these chips, but it didn't even hit 200 MHz. Although I have to say, that at that time, I didn't test with a higher vdimm than 3,0V. But 3V and no 200 Mhz doesn't sound too good.

Even though I'd say: If you can get it for cheep, then get it and test it yourself. Perhaps you are lucky and it's good. ;)

[ElixXx]

okey.. maby ill buy it for a cheep sum.

[bachus_anonym]

i have some BH-5 sets but i've only removed heatspreaders off the 2x256MB PC3200 Kingston HyperX kit...
so far i've had it up to 263Mhz @ 3.55v benchable on DFI NF2 Infinity (http://www.clockmehigh.com/xtreme/records/263x10.jpg). i can't remember how well they did with Goldmemory and Memtest86+, though.

stick #1 is "316we" but Everest and CPU-z say "week19/2003"
stick #2 is "326wf" but again soft shows "week27/2003"

see for yourself, buddy...

What does this mean?

[TEDY]

means you have BH-5 relabelled 0304 which is good....past 0318 it's prolly CH-5

[saaya]

esdee, would be nice if you could remove the heatspreaders, if you dont want to no big deal :)

ElixXx, i think not all 19 chips are ch5, i guess those are still bh5... dont think they would mix bh5 with ch5...

Rabbi_NZ, that doesnt sound like bh5...

rapra, thx :toast: but whats the max stable? 260?

ElixXx, bh-75? never heard of that... ive seen ah5 and ah6 wich was the oldest winbodn memory i saw. ah6 was very weird ram that barely hit 200mhz with 2.5-3-3 and ah-5 was on a very old videocard and clocked to 180mhz on the videocard LOL :D

pull for 5 minutes or so and it will very slowly start to lift up. be very patient.

I don´t want to do that :P
That is fine the way it is

[Trixxy]

I have 2 x 512M of Corsair XMS3500 v1.1

both sticks max out at 267fsb @ 2-2-2-5-8-12-2-2-1-1-1t @ 3.4v


first stick, bought December 2002:

Winbond
2372D
W942508BH-5

second stick, bought May 2003:

Winbond
311WE
W942508BH-5

both pcb's say:
CORSAIR
50-00107 Rev A1

I'll need to increase my 3.3v rail or get a booster to see how far they'll go with a decent amount of juice. :)

edit: just read the whole thread, here are some more details:

the above fsb was what I arrived at when trying to find my max 3DM2k1 speed, so 267fsb is stable for 2k1/SuperPi/Memtest (about half an hour), using 1 stick. I've never tried Prime before (looked too fiddley, I'm more of a "open program - click a button" type person). :)
Unsure what both sticks will do together as my chipset or mem controller doesn't seem to like over 255 (I run both sticks at 250, 2-2-2-5 for games etc).

This thread has inspired me to get a Booster this week, so I'll see what 3.6-3.8 will do, and I may try dual-channel in my P4 rig (2.8c, DFI Lanparty 875ProB).

great thread... very interesting! :toast:

[esdee]

hmmmm heat them with a hair drier and then carefully and steadily pull the side up.

Will do that tommorow !!! thanks!

[[-Stash-]]

means you have BH-5 relabelled 0304 which is good....past 0318 it's prolly CH-5

So if I gave this RAM a little more juice, say 3.2v it should do closer to 240MHz ish?

Saaya: I'll get onto the AIDA32 details and try using a little more juice on the chips to see what they'll really do. Was a bit scared to go over 2.9v, but now I see they're quite happy with +3.3v

[[-Stash-]]

OK, here's some more details on this KHX PC3000

http://scammell.co.uk/TEMP/KHXPC3000.gif

[TEDY]

you have DFI

give them 3.3vdimm and cool them with 80mm fan

[|-jokker-|]

@[-Stash-]

What is that program with the mem details ?

[funkflix]

Everest/Aida32! ;)

[[-Stash-]]

Yeah, it's AIDA32, CPU-Z and Clockgen.

Tried them with everything up to 3.3v (without a fan, didn't have one handy, but they never got *that* hot) and they were unstable at anything above 200MHz 2-2-2-11. By unstable I mean they blue screened in windows after about 5 minutes of F@H and just booting up!

Arse.

On the other hand my Crucial Ballistix is doing better already at 210MHz @ 2-2-2-11 w/ 2.8v

[celemine1Gig]

Well, I'd advise you to get rid of the heatspreaders on these modules, because I often heard that they were put on without good thermal contact. so they hurt more than what they help. Perhaps that explains why they don't seem to get hot and why they are so unstable ;)

[TEDY]

what you guys think of

CORSAIR CMX512-3200LL XMS3205V1.1 ?

guy selling them saying he got 218 2-2-2-x 100% stable with 2.8vdimm

[funkflix]

BH5! :)

[[-Stash-]]

Depends how much he's asking for them ofc ;)

[TEDY]

well price is around 160$...but this is slovenija...everything is expensier here...

comparing in usa people still want around 130-140$ for 512 BH-5 i think price is good ?

[saaya]

how high does the just-in-stock mushkin 512 bh5 sticks overclocks? anybody tested them?

just in stock? the new ones are with tccd, not bh5 :)

thx a lot for the infos Trixxy :toast:
have fun with your booster :D

afaik if dc ocs higher than sc its only due to chipset or voltage problems :)
if you have two sticks they will pull double the amps under load, exactly at the same time, wich will stress the mobo vdimm regulation a lot more. cooling the mosfets, increasing the 3.3v rail and having a good psu with a stable 3.3v rail usually helps a lot :)

glad you like this thread :toast:

Will do that tommorow !!! thanks!
cool :) let me know how it went! if you do it very carefully and have a lot of patience you can even put the heatspreaders and clamps into a plastic bag and attach them to the memory again if you want to :)

']So if I gave this RAM a little more juice, say 3.2v it should do closer to 240MHz ish?

Saaya: I'll get onto the AIDA32 details and try using a little more juice on the chips to see what they'll really do. Was a bit scared to go over 2.9v, but now I see they're quite happy with +3.3v
heheh pushing the vdimm up on bh5 chips is fun! ;) :D
even 5v doesnt seem to kill them inmediatly if you have a good board :)
but i wouldnt go over 3.6v if you want to keep it LOL :lol:

']OK, here's some more details on this KHX PC3000
how much vdimm is that? doesnt it go any higher? 3.3v?
hmmm then its either bad bh-5/bh-6 or its ah-6.
does it go higher with 2.5-3-3? how high?

TEDY, i think the price is too high, but where else do you find bh5/bh6 nowadays? :(

it sounds like good bh5/bh6 as well, 220 with 2.8v is VERY good!




btw trixxy, i added your sticks as
"2372D" 2.0-2-2 3.40v 260mhz (corsair 3500 512mb@nf3)
"311we" 2.0-2-2 3.40v 260mhz (corsair 3500 512mb@nf3)

ok? since you said they werent 100% stable at 267mhz :)
cant wait to add the new results once you get the booster, sounds like some great bh5 there! :D might be a 300 candidate :)

[[-Stash-]]

Since it's an unmodded board 3.3v is as high as I can go, and since this Ballistix got me through the last two levels of HL2 last night at 215 w/ 2.9v I'm beginning to think I have the only bad BH5 in existance :( That or this infinity just does not like BH5, which is a grim possibility, although the NF7-S hated it as well...

no! i had two 512mb bh5 sticks that maxed out at 190 and 205mhz with 3.6v ;)

[[-Stash-]]

Was that in every board you tried? Did you sell them on and did the buyer have any more luck? Would they behave better in an intel rig?

[saaya]

i doubt they would oc much better in an intel rig, maybe 10mhz at most.
i tried them in an a7n8x deluxe 2.0 of my roomate, an nf7-s 2.0 of a pal and my dfi infinity ... always the same. theres really bad clocking bh5 and bh6, its nothing new...

i sent them back to the shop i bought them from :D
that shop has a great policy so you can return any hardware after 1 week testing it if you dont like it and get your money returned :) you dont even have to mention why you dont like the hardware, and you get even the shipping costs refunded! :D

great shop :D

[poch]

hi, i'll be getting some corsair XMS3500 v1.1...they're all BH-5 right? hopefully i can add to the database :)

[saaya]

hey poch, welcome to XtremeSystems :toast:

im not sure, i dont know about the different corsair numbers... but iirc its bh6 and not bh5 :) should still oc great, corsair xms 3500 sticks are overclocking extraordinarily well compared to other bh5 and bh6 sticks, not as well as ocz bh5 and bh6, but close :)

[poch]

cool thanks :D i'll check as soon as i get them.

[All4AMD]

how high does the just-in-stock mushkin 512 bh5 sticks overclocks? anybody tested them?

Donno but ill tell u when i go home for chrismas. im still in training with the airforce and can't wait till mar 11

[poch]

well i got the mems...here are some pics :)
i'm having a problem w/ running them DC tho. when i play HL2 it exits to desktop after like 20 sec. this is at ddr400 2-5-2-2 w/ 2.8v (max on my IC7, 2.75 on AIDA) my main PSU is on RMA atm so i'm using a generic 350w and my +3.3 is at 2.90! :eek: so i'm thinking the error is due to this. i have no prob running them individually btw. any inputs?

[poch]

sorry for the double post forgot the pics :)

[TEDY]

poch would you sell them ?

[poch]

tedy i just got them so i'll play w/ it for a while :)
i haven't tried it w/ the booster yet..i'll give you a pm should i decide to sell it later on..
btw it was the PSU after all :rolleyes: whew!

[TEDY]

wish i had such friends...you payed only 200$ ?

[SAE]

Great RAM there... rev1.1 is definitely BH-5 :)

Burn them in a lil ;)

[saaya]

the more memory the more stress on the vdimm and vref circuicy and the more they fluctuate, therefor you get a lower oc the more memory you use.

do they work together in sc? iif not then its probably that dc also stresses the dimms a bit more and 2.75v is very little for bh5.

[poch]

thanks :)

saaya haven't tried running them in sc, only individually and in dc. yup 2.75 is pretty low but it's the max my IC7 would go (rev.1.0) :(
i have a booster on the way tho but i read here that its a bit tricky to get it to work on a v1.0 IC7 and that i need the vtt mod.

[saaya]

try the 3.3v rail = vdimm mod then... it works on most boards and vtt usually tracks automatically :) the only bad point is that its fixed at 3.3v but 3.3v is fine for bh5 :D

and if you want more vdimm you just have to bump the 3,3v rail :)

[TEDY]

Kingston Ram w/remarked Chips as D328DW-45 ---------Before Week 18 Year 03 Winbond BH-5, after CH-5 (18 03 can be both)
So they are`t bh-5 :(

[amilian]

Nope, they're not BH-5 - bad luck dude.............but CH-5 still run very well with lots of volts!!!!

[TEDY]

but like i told you TL pump up 3.2 vdimm and cool them.

First stick does 275 @ 3.5v Aida shows the SPD details as:- Week 45 03
Second stick does 265 @ 3.5v SPD says week 45 03 too.

Testing was done on my DFi NF3 250Gb with my 3400 DTR clawhammer @ 2-2-2 timings.

How on earth do you guys get the heatspreaders off?

[mcnbns]

Use a screwdriver to rip off the clips. Pry on the heatspreaders, NOT the RAM. (Sounds much more dangerous than it is.) Then use a razor blade to separate the thermal tape from the RAM chips. Worked for me and my PC3500 EBs, and they're still alive. :)

[iddqd]

look in my sig.
no! i had two 512mb bh5 sticks that maxed out at 190 and 205mhz with 3.6v ;)
What brand?

Either way, just because there are BH-5 chips on the PCB doesn't mean they are all good. Hell, not even all BH-5 chips are good, on the best of the best PCB. You'd be surprised to know that there are still (relatively) large quantities of BH-5 IC's still available on the market. Mushkin could fire up the assembly lines, and start making pc3200/3500 lvl II again, if they want to. The trouble is, though is there aren't many "overclocking" weeks left, and buying them all up to see that only 20% of it is any good would be highly unprofitable.

Of course, from what I understand, that is precisely the reason why you started this thread... but all the "performance" BH-5 sticks you see, such as Kingston's various KHX sticks, Mushkin's 3500 lvl2, etc, they already use the "good overclocking" weeks, selectively. That's why you're simply missing so many weeks on your chart. Now, if you were to go back in time, and buy up all the "Meh.:down:" sticks you can find (buffalo, no-name, corsair value, etc, etc) you would fill in all those missing weeks... with :censored:ty results, might I add.

[Romaster]

I recently got my hands on 2 sticks of bh-5 kingston pc3200 (512mb each)
I checked under the spreader which was relatively easy although at one point it felt like the sticks wud break into 2 pieces.!

I was happy to see they were BH-5 :)
they are week 29 2003..

I'm not really sure how well they overclock... first off it didnt like my abit PAT (known as GAT) on at all and wud crash or not boot into windows.. secondly I cant game at 220mhz @ 2225,2.5-2-2-5,2.5-2-2-8 (and any votls between 3.2-2.9) why is this?

by not game, i mean I can play the game, and it works but I see artifact lines on my screen like one big long line from left to right every so often a couple a minute...

someone told me to change my agp mhz to 67.. but then i cant even boot lol.. wth.. ill try the latest bios later..

[poch]

it could be a case of a bad PSU. i used to have that prob w/ 2x512mb xms pc3500 BH5. i switched PSU's and the artifacts went away.
btw a DDR booster might help too. :)

[Romaster]

its possible since I have a 400watt psu but heh.. yea a ddr booster will help I am sure....

I might just go back to my ballistix and sell this for a profit =\

[ShadowScorpion]

Ok update got the heatspreaders off and this is what i found

other stick - 1352747 - 2.6v - assembly in usa - tiki man symbol

both 9905193-013.a01

what cpu-z reported (about week of production):
http://indabasement.com/2.5v.jpg
http://indabasement.com/2.6v.jpg

in dimm2 i have the 2.6v labelled stick and in dimm3 i have the 2.5v labelled stick. im assuming cpuz used dimm3 for the dimm slot away from the cpu and dimm1 for dimm2 slot (i have the booster in dimm1). otherwise the label name is wrong on my pics, hehe.

board: NF7-S Rev. 2

prime happy:
2.9vdimm, 2-2-2-11, 2T, 2x512 in DC, ~229-230
3.2vdimm, 2-2-2-11, 2T, 2x512 in DC, ~241-242

i havent tested each stick individually.

hope that helps:)

[TEDY]

pershoot why 2T ? try 1T :D

[pershoot]

i wish i could gain anything significant with 1t & 2x512 on this board.

most ill do is ~220 (if that) on this high multi. i def dont want to lose my clock, as it just feels to good to be running at this speed... the boost in throughput is nice too.

maybe one day and many bios revisions later... :)

woa! nice :D many new entries, thx a lot guys! :D

will update the db in a week or two when i have internet @home again :)

[felinusz]

Got a couple of sticks for your most excellent database saaya :)

Corsair XMS PC3500 V1.1, 2 X 256 Meg (all BH-5)

Stick #1 - all 8 IC chips are '310WE' BH-5
Stick #2 - 4 IC chips are '310WE' BH-5, and 4 IC chips are '322WF' BH-5, the two sides of the stick are different :stick:.

322WF is an as-yet unreported stepping too - weird huh? :). If you want, I can take a picture of the chips to verify them. Although I can't really take a picture that proves that each side of the stick is actually different.


Anyhow, these two sticks do 260 MHz 2-2-2-11 in dual channel, with 24 hour memtest86 test #5 looping stability, at 3.6V of VDIMM, in my old DFI Ultra Infinity nForce2 board.

They could probably do a good ~5 MHz higher, if stability testing was only done with Prime95 ;) :D

I am also confident that they will do much better in an nForce4 board, with just a little more voltage :D

Looks like all older BH5 (from beginning till ~0245) have the 2D batch. So it's nothing special tbh. :D

[saaya]

hmmm theres also "5e" and "2e", and all of them, "5e" "2e" and "2d" are all very good clocking chips... dammit, mine are "we" :P :D

it looks to me that the "we" and "wf" steppings were the mass production steppings, thats where winbond sold them as value memory in masses and no longer as small series of high performence memory to corsair and kingston etc

[gsan]

sorry for noob question,
with limited vdimm (3.24v), how far the 2x256mb XMS3500C2 rev1.1 which based on bh5 can go @ 2-2-2 timing?

[saaya]

depends on the memory... since those sticks are rated for 216mhz 2-3-3 with max 2.8v they will most likely do 216mhz 2-2-2 with 2.8v as well since bh5 barely needs extra vdimm to run in 2-2-2... looking at the other 3500 results id say...

hmmmm .... 240-260 mhz 2-2-2 with 3.25v

id they are bad then 240mhz, if theyre good 260mhz ... depends on what mainboard your using though! on 875/865 and nf2 you will get around 10mhz less than on nf3/nf4/k8t800/k8t800pro

Hey everyone! XS.org n00b here. I got some 18 month old BH-5 off a buddy (Mushy lvl2 3500, 2x512). Hopefully it already has some "daily use" burn-in. Well, no less than 1 hour after I brought it home I was removing the heatspreaders and voiding my warranty :D . Here's what I found:

Stick 1: All 340WF stepping.
Stick 2: One side has all 340WF stepping, other side 3x340WF and 5x339WF ICs.

Is mixed ICs like I have on "stick 2" normal? I doubt it will screw up my overclock, but j/w. Also, once I get my ultra-D board from ZZF and test the modules, how are you gonna list stick 2 in the database?

Hehe. Welcome to XS :D

About your mixed ICs... I think it does not matter, cause Mushkin - like other highend ram manufacturers - handpicks and individually tests the chips.

So there should be only the best-performing ICs on their sticks... that's why I wouldn't worry too much ;)

P.S. I am also waiting for my Ultra-D :D My ram is now able to do 272 11-2-2-2-2-12-16 at multiplier 12 (3.56V Vdimm on DFI LP B). I am really wondering what it can do in S939 systems... :toast:

Yesterday a try'd my XMS3500c2 rev1.1 mem again on the DFI nF3 250 and was suprised that the did 10x253 @ 3.14vdimm :) @ 1.74vcore(both with mm) pic's follow.

I let them burn now for a while and see if the go any higher.

nice!

[gsan]

btw,
XMS3500C2 rev1.1 on NF7 mobo with vdimm mod(3.24v) can go how far? at least 240 @ 2-2-2 stable or not?

[saaya]

depends on the board, some nf7 boards cant do 240mhz...

depends on the bh5... the average is more like 235 with 3.25v

Finally managed to get the spreaders off...

This is a pair of Kingston HyperX 3200 BH-5 256Mb sticks.
Highest benchable/memtest stable:-
stick one 275 @ 3.5v IC code:- 339WF
stick two 265 @ 3.5v IC code:- 339WF

I also checked on my BH-6 if its any good to ya:-
Mushkin Special 2-2-2, 2 x 512Mb
both do 255 @ 3.4v IC code :- 334WF

Results obtained on DFi NF3 with 3400+ Clawhammer.

yeah, just getting my xms3500c2 rev1.1.
currectly running at 225 @ 2-2-2-11, 2.9v.
havent mod vdimm yet, gotta do it tomorrow.

Fine :)

With 3.5V they should fly... if not immediately, then after some thorough burn in ;)

[gsan]

but the max vdimm that i can get is only 3.24v as last time i did for my ch5.

p/s: i'm currectly using acbel 450w and the vdimm mod on my nf7 is depend on PSU 3.3v rail.

And you ain't able to do the 3.3V mod to your psu?! I increased the line to 3.8V when I was using the nf7-s and got up to 3.6V stable :)

i'm have no idea with mod the psu ler :(

[SAE]

There are no pots inside?

[gsan]

sorry, i really no idea with that, never open it and see before.

[saaya]

thats no problem, it should have a brown wire attached to the orange wire on the atx plus, thats the 3.3v sense wire of the psu. theres a mod to make the psu increase the 3.3v rail by cutting the brown sense wire and putting a pot between the two parts.

check the xtreme mods section for the thread about it.
its kinda annoying to find the right value for the pot, above or belo the value and the psu will not start or shut itself down, but once you found the right resistance you can get the 3.3v rail up to 3.8v or higher :)

what does your chip clock to with what cooling and volts?

i added them as 270 and 260 and 250 for the mushkin since memtest/benchstable isnt the same as prime+3d stable from my expirience, ok?

Don't be afraid, gsan, it can only improve things... It's not very fine work to do, you may need some practice though.
Try to solder some things to pieces of old/dead hardware, so you can get a steady and reliable hand :)

Yeah I know it isn't the best. I was expecting a little more, but like I said that is the first overclock I tried on my brand new machine 10 minutes before I had to go to class. Anyway, they are not virgin sticks. They are 18 month old sticks from ebay. Rock stable at those settings, but when I try anything above 245 I get lots of errors in memtest: a few the first test, then twice as many errors than the previous attempt for each subsequent one :confused:

What else could I do to get them > 250?

Meh. Might just pick up some G. Skill LE after the next paycheck. :stick:

I don't have the time to do a hardcore burn in, so I will leave the results at this. I am not going to run tests at voltages higher than 3.6, since this is intended to be a daily use - not a benching rig.

While this ram is fast, I need something that will take me to higher FSB. My memory controller just isn't having it at these latencies and I had to drop the multi. Anyone interested in buying this RAM or trading for some G. Skill please PM. These sticks are more than capable and would love a new owner who wants to push them to the max :D

Thanks Saaya, hope this helps!

zeebs, please let me know what the max stable speed is (i suggest prime95 blend+3d app for 3hours) not your highest cpu-z shot :)
i think da_boka means you should post so many results of your own stick and rather make your won thread about the bh5 you bought, and i think hes right :P

dont get me wrong, im not telling you to GGGEEEEEEDDDOUDDDD :mad: :D
but this thread is indeed not meant so much for dicussions but just to post and compare results, not about posting your experience with a new stick of memory step by step :)
please post a new thread about your memory and ask for tweaking and burn in tricks and im sure you will get a bunch fo replies you will probably not get here :)

i for one suggest you do the hipro5 mod to your memory wich helped most people to get 1-3mhz more out of their sticks (it involves soldering extra capacitors to the sticks)

Hi all!

My 256 KVR333 (0245WD&02462D BH-6) is able to do 237 2-2-2 at 2.9V and 255 2-2-2 at 3.3V (tested on Infinity board, memtest86)

I had many BH-X and that Value Ram is one of the best I've ever had :)
