Guys, really spoke too early :D

First when I tested these sticks on Intel platform, 200FSB with 2-2-2-5 settings was extremely unstable. Now I started to test again these stick with memtest, this time on DFI 875P-T LanParty. I found out that Refresh Mode at 64µs (ICH offset 69 = 53 instead of default 52 aka 7.8µs) will kill completely overclockability of these sticks. With 64µs selected these sticks gave hundreds of errors in memtest no matter what the voltage was. After setting refresh mode to Auto (7.8µs) these sticks really started to fly :D

I was able to run benches at 255FSB 2-2-2-5 / Turbo - 7.8µs - 70µs - Enabled - Enabled - Disabled (CPC) - Enabled with only 3.45V :D

I disabled CPC because memorycontroller doesnt like to run it on over 245FSB ;)

Sandra unbuffered takes quite big hit when refresh mode is 7.8µs instead of 64µs and CPC is disabled. After VAGP mod I should be able to run CPC on ;)

Going to try higher voltages tommorrow ;)

The Stilt, very good results there :toast:

7.8µs - 70µs whats this ? How can I change it on a AS8. My Mushy BH-5 with auto performance settings gets to 240fsb w/ 3.2v but no higher stable :( Ive also tried with CPC off but it doesnt help any.

You can change it with 865 Tweaker or Pmem.
865 Tweaker (http://www.cpuid.org/download/Tw865.zip)

BH-5 sticks doesnt mind about the refresh value, so that probably wont gain anything.

I have a twinmos ddr333 memory. Which has Mtec 60B chips. And looks as the same as the one in the pic. The weak/year is 0325D

Does anybody know what these chips are? It's definitely not Winbond :D

Thx


That looks like a Mitsubishi Chip to me, here's a good little site for ram IC spotters :)

Thanks. Nice little piece of kit.

Settings are already @ 70µs / 7.8µs / disabled.

Dont think im gunner get any higher without a good burn in and more voltage.

Well been playing with the Twinmoss (PICTURE LINK (http://www.ricco.karoo.net/images/CIMG0153.JPG)) and just can't get them to play ball in the Neo2 like I can on the Intel P4m/IS7 setup( Twinmoss UTT , IS7 & P4m LINK (http://www.ricco.karoo.net/images/260_3.6v.jpg) ).

Maximum i can get is 230mhz 2,2,5,2 1T . I know I have boot issues with Vmem (on DDR booster) set > 3.4v , but stability is just not the same. Maybe this will improve with a different NF3 board , but ill hold onto these and wait for the DFI NF4 to become available.

burn in = running memtest #5 for 30-45minutes till you get few errors, leave it running 6 hours....

bump up 5mhz and redo it again....keep ram cooled with some 80mm fan above them.

Gaming does make for a pretty good burn in, an RTS like Warhammer 40K : DOW really taxes the CPU for instance.

I used to do burn in like that. I'd set it to a stable overclocked speed, but set the voltage higher than it was needed. This certainly helped. It was also usefull for helping thermal paste bet in on a new build..

give us more info :D
can you post a picture of the mem? or post the codes on the mem?

how many volts are you giving the mem at 277MHz?

nice clocks :toast:

i already found this:
TMD7608F8E44D.
Hit FSB 270 MHz timing 2-2-2-5 1T with 3.5volt Vdimm

thanks... i have same code with you :D, for 277 MHz i give them 3.7 volt
;)

pik-ard v1.1
01-09-2005, 05:59 PM
@ the stilt- does higher voltage yield any mhz gains at the same timings? or have you not tested above 3.45v?

also, hows this stuff do 24/7 with a ddr booster at 3.5-3.7v? is that 100% stable, and ok to run with?

Hello everyone! - New user here!

I've been reading this thread from start :p:

I went to some stores here in Greece but I only found AADT memory modules....

I'll continue searching until I find some promising AA4T modules. I want to combine this with a DFI NF4 and some 939 Athlon64 3000+ :banana:

I've been reading this forum for a year and I thought it was time to sign up ;)

I have got one pair of 512 Twinmos coded AA4T and also have the winbond circles.

I can onley checked them on 3,17v and if I leave the timings to "by speed" it does 2,5-4-4-8 at 255fsb.

When I get a chance I will try them on 3,6v.. :)

Alonso,

When did TwinMOS/M.tec start using Winbond UTT in any of their products, or more to the point, when did Winbond UTT become available in general?

I apologize if this has already been asked/answered. I have tried to keep up here, but may have missed it.

Bluebeard
01-10-2005, 02:47 AM
i can´t answer that exactly for the moment but should be no problem cause you still know the product code to go for

first TwinMOS/M.tec with UTT passed to me in end of october as pre-samples

just checked the new shipments...

new TwinMOS/M.tec come in CADT which means 0,11um PSC

new TwinMSO/TwinMOS came in with AA4T ;)

no new Speed Premium delivered but still have 512MB on hand...


the thing is i believe wheather M.tec, Speed Premium or TwinMOS regular - go for the product code with the 4 ;)

probably pcb related

for example we take the code M2G9J16A0A
the 0 between the last two A stands for B6U808, 6 layer PCB
while the M.tec comes in A8A where the 8 is KO6633, 6 layer PCB

Sandra unbuffered takes quite big hit when refresh mode is 7.8µs instead of 64µs and CPC is disabled. After VAGP mod I should be able to run CPC on ;)

Going to try higher voltages tommorrow ;)

so even if Newegg has memory in stock that has AA4T in the serial number on the picture, it still isn't guaranteed that you will receive Winbond UTT? If they give me AADT instead of the AA4T that was in the picture, is that still eligible for return without the 15 percent fee?

I'm on my way on doing that tomorrow tictac! However the situation doesnt look so good either here in Greece at the local computer stores. I have already checked 3 of them and all they have is AADT. I'm gonna check another 10 tomorrow and if I find some AA4T I think I may buy 2gigs of that (4X512)

I never got the chance to say this but a big THANKS FOR AL THOSE BIOS'S for the NF7-S. :toast:

Ah, and something else:

Has anyone tried pushing these sticks in a 4X512 configuration? On an Athlon 64 939 preferably ... If these sticks can do 250-260 at 2-2-2-5 then maybe 230 with 2gigs (4X512) isnt so unrealistic ....

I know its extreme but hey ...this is the place to do xtreme right? ;) :D

Got to clarify.

There is a guy that posts over at OC Forums, Diablo23rd, that works at one of the Fry's stores in the cage area and he found some OCZ PC2700 Value Series with the M.tec chips that have been mentioned in this thread as possibly being Winbond UTT...the ones ending in 60D with the "4" following the YYWW date code. He bought one, as well as one of the Kingston value ram sticks. Both were 512MB and both were able to hit 255 (2-2-2 at 3.6v+) on his Abit IC7-G/3.2 set up. He thinks the ram had more left but not the proc.

I have seen the Kingston in two of my local CCs in the 2x256 dual-packs, but no 512 locally.

I do recall one of the Mushkin reps that sometimes posts over at OCF stating in a post that Mushkin uses these chips in their value ram line as well, but at the time did not identify which chip it was nor what product used it...it was just one of those statements along the lines of "I know what chip it is and we use it in our value line" and that was it. He made that comment in one of the early VX threads where everyone was trying to guess which chips were in the VX.

The point of all this ramblings is that it might be able to be found elsewhere, but I don't know who has it. The egg may have it in some OCZ or Mushkin or in KVR, but at this point, I can't direct you to any.

At one point about a week ago, the Fry's where Diablo works had about 6 sticks left of the OCZ Value Series and half a box of the KVR single sticks and a bunch of the KVR 1 gig dual-kits....somebody want to make Diablo an offer he can't refuse?

Its out there guys, and probably will become more plentiful as it hits the shelves in all sorts of value line products...just got to go fishing for it.

Of course, it would be a heck of alot easier if the egg just stocked the right stuff, right?

Skip
01-10-2005, 07:03 PM
i really wish there was a computer company that catered to enthusiasts like us and actually said what stepping and date cpu you were getting, what IC is on ram, what chipset revision in motherboards. i would pay a little extra to know what i was getting, maybe 10$ extra on ram, and so on.

someone linked a company that did that with intel chips, seperated E0 and D0 cores. i wish more places did that with their products.

so if i was to go to newegg right now(which i'm doing) and buy some ram for someone, which brand gives me the best shot at UTT? if i get a winner i have a gig of cheap ram i can give them, since that is what they want in the first place. otherwise it was like i never even tried to get it.

i'm flipping through their selection of ocz, kvr, and mushkin, and none of the pictures denote anything, but i'm guessing most of their pictures are innacurate anyways. i'm not even going to try twinmos speed premium, as a 512mb dimm from them has been confirmed to be AADT.

I spent a whole evening looking through pictures of just about every value line type ram they had, regardless of name, I mean I even looked at Rosewill (who in their right mind would really want ram with that name on it?) and came away empty handed. Hope you have better luck than I did.

01-10-2005, 07:37 PM
how do i even contact distributors. they would probably tell people the codes on the ram.

well, i think i'll just get some 67$ per 512mb dimm kvr that is on sale. the chips are infineon i think (2 notches in side) but i was reading reviews, and a couple overclocked it, or just tightened latencies, and its possible they might have UTT.

gulp35
01-10-2005, 07:44 PM
A group buy would be a good idea.....
..on the subject of other value RAMs having the UTT, Just a quick search based off of my previous searching it seems Mushkin also uses BP PCBs so they might be a alternative, however we have to crack/get their rep to crack their memory code to see which have UTT.

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=20-141-164&DEPA=1 (read the reviews)
These don't seem to be windbond chips in the pictures but the chips could be different in person.
Now just gotta find a place that will let me search through all of their value RAM stock :).

Skip
01-10-2005, 08:49 PM
i think the key to at least narrowing it down is in reading the reviews and hope to find the lone person who gave maybe 3.0 volts to get cas2. and that would be a possibility.

i haven't seen any reviews where peope have given ram like 3.3volts at newegg, so it will be doubtful to know for sure.

Most of the sticks have chips from week 50, so I guess that week 50 or newer are the best overclockers.

Bad news, I called Twinmos today spoke to Alice Lo. According to "company policy" because I bought my ram from newegg, she says it's against "company policy" to send my week 43D 512 sticks to her in exchange for current dates. So basically I'm stuck with these until we have official word that newegg has the "good" speed premium 512 sticks. Sorry Klisp, I tried. But I looked at newegg just now and all the speed premium is sold out again. Must be dudes from other forums. Boy, they are gonna have a rude awakening when they get those sticks lol.

Bad news, I called Twinmos today spoke to Alice Lo. According to "company policy" because I bought my ram from newegg, she says it's against "company policy" to send my week 43D 512 sticks to her in exchange for current dates.

I really hope that you don´t wonder why it is like that... ever tried to call Asus and ask for better OCÃ:banana:ng board for exchange :rolleyes:

Like i said, we in Germany got new stock where ALL TwinMOS/M.tec came with PSC

BUT

regular TwinMOS/TwinmOS came with AA4T - no time and setup to test atm but i think you´ll find results very soon ;)


BTW: best regards to Alice if anyone calls her next time :D

01-11-2005, 11:21 AM
do i write no english?

it comes in AADT which is Powerchip but this can - especially for M.tec - change very quick ;)

also for regular TwinMOS/TwinMOS we had AADT last week and AA4T this week

so it´s still the same old story - watch out for AA4T on any new TwinMOS Memory ;)

Alice is a good employee, I have nothing against her. It's the "company policy" I disagree with. I wasn't asking twinmos for a bone marrow transplant, I was simply requesting some sticks with the current technology. I think this is why OCZ still OWNS in the cust. service dept. OCZ wouldn't even blink if I had the same request. And btw, Asus is not a good example of cust. service. :D

well obviously twinmos just need to increase the price of the AA4T 500% and then they, like OCZ, can afford to pander to the whims of their patrons.

However, i seriously doubt Twinmos are going to charge you 500% more than what those RAMs are worth... :stick:

01-11-2005, 02:59 PM
The KVR are at my local CC too, and Diablo at OCF tested a 512 stick on his P4 @ 3.2 and hit 255 with it. The only thing is that Diablo's and the ones I saw had the labels very different than the typical Kingston label in that the "Kingston" as well as a series of codes are across the top line where usually you find only the Kingston label and then the rest of the codes are across the bottom (only two rows of codes) with the middle of the chip, where you can see the dimples, having no coding at all. As a point of reference, this blank space would be were the M.tec have the date codes.

Diablo's KVR sticks have chips with 0449 date codes, but the ones I saw had 0417 coding which scared me off. Could these be Infineon ch-5 instead of Winbond UTT?

We need more KVR samples before we can start drawing conclusions.

Attached is a picture of the KVR, but since it is a little unclear, I have provided the information written on Diablo's KVR chip below (from his post at OCF).

Kingston B11444.02
(blank row)
D3208DW3T-5U 0449PT01

Diablo's OCZ and KVR, both tested to 255. Notice the M.tec chips have 0431 and 0430 dates which are earlier than what the Speed Premiums have on them.

One last thing that I'm sure has been noticed, but I'll repeat it. TwimMOS chip's coding starts with the TM D and the M.tec chips start with the TT D. I know people have been asking and it appears to me to be nothing more than an internal identifier at TwinMOS.

Rabbi_NZ
01-11-2005, 03:48 PM
What would be the difference between Infineon CH-5 and TwinMOS UTT 50D?

They are both speed binned (all be it by different firms) to be 5ns or better chips... and they are all made on the Winbond machines...

The date code would scare me off too reefa, most of the time newer is better and with CH-5 this has been especially true... that process must be getting pretty mature now

Reefa_Madness
01-11-2005, 04:02 PM
I would think that there would be no difference, however, SteveOCZ (rep) responded to my question over at OCF by saying that he thought the Infineon c-die was different than the Winbond UTT. He also stated that Infineon has continued to make CH-5. I don't know whether or not that is true. I do know that Alonso says TwinMOS treats the UTT as CH-5 internally.

The thing that makes me think they would be the same is that all of the new releases about Winbond UTT indicate that the inlabeled/untested stuff being sold by Winbond is the excess capacity that Infineon did not buy. So what is Infineon doing with the stuff they did buy? Is that what is used in the KVR with the earlier dates?

I just have questions..not much in the way of answers.

Revv23
01-11-2005, 04:05 PM
i dont think the UTT is CH-5 as CH-5 did better at low volts.

Reefa_Madness
01-11-2005, 04:07 PM
That is a very valid point and easily overlooked. Thanks for the reminder.

So what is Infineon doing with their allotment of Winbond UTT.

Don't they have a "B-line" or something. Now I've got to go check all of the second rate stores selling cheap Infineon...there goes another evening spent in front of the monitor.

yes i was responding to reefa...

but... conrad is even more proof this is not CH-5, at 2.8v OVP kicked in until 3.1 iirc.

if you mean 50d can be compared to CH-5, then i would agree with you.

I think that board has a problem regulating the voltage from ddr boosters and it just can't handle high vdimm. I noticed the vdimm would flux a lot.

This is regarding RMA'ing your hardware.
If the memory you bought works at the rated speeds, then I see no reason why it should be RMA'ed back to the store you bought it from.
In this case, any RMA is considered as fraudulent.

So discussions like these are out of the question and will not be allowed, resulting in the topic being closed and removed.

Hope this is clear for everyone.

So guys, sorry to barge in on you guys but I didn't have the time (nor patients for that matter :rolleyes: ) to look trhough the 31 pages here.

SO my question is the following, I'm about to buy ram
Apacer RAM but it hasn't come in yet.

So I can still cancell my order and buy me a gig of Twinmos(2x512)

From this site (it's dutch but I i just wanna know)


http://comtechnology.be/shop/product_info.php?cPath=361_28&products_id=901715&osCsid=59c8da1238c448df4728b7c322302eac

Now could you guys tell me if those would be the ones with VX chips? I KNOW they are "new" makes so not old ones because for one they sell a lot of those things and they always buy only what they need so never in big quantities.

EDIT:

Those are cheaper and since I do not have dual channel I don't need something that'll cost me 20 bucks more :)
will those have the chips also?
(presumably)

So PLEASE

Post here if you think those can be the ones with them chips

I'm sure I can sell my current RAM for like 80 euro's or something (cheapass Apacer DDR 3200 with TCCC chips) just when I put on some of them boards that they'll clock to a decent 420MHZ with enough volts etc and on good timings.

But as said thats not the problem,please let me know if those could be the ones.


although 160 is a bit expensive for a gig (well not really my apacer 512module I orderd is 90 euros so.....) I'm still willing to try it out :) espesially knowing i can get about 80 euros out of my apacer ram

BTW I do not plan on directly buying me a booster so will about 2.8-2.9Volts cut it? :)

They have to reach about 220 mhz and good timings on those volts

thanks in advance!!!!!!!

hey alonso, you might wanna read my post carefully.

They don't order unless something is orderd from them.
They've had a LOT of burglary's latly so they switched to this polecy. can't blame'm either they got like 10 burglary's in a span of a good 2-3 months!!!!!!!


So I can't go there and say Hey Can I look at the Twinmos ram?

I just wanna know if they are possibly it (how much change there is to it)

Because those single 512MB modules only cost 72 euros so I can surely get rid of my other ramstick apacer for 70->80 euros around here so I can buy me a gig of that, but I have to know there is a good possibility of it

And and btw, cool it will you? I may not be around for long on these boards people DO NOT like it when they get flamed.

People here are verry helpfull and so am I but you really need to try NOT to go off at people. It's bound to recoil

You're registerd since january 2003 so you're most likly know more about these boards and the people then I do but if you think that the above does not apply to people here, then be sure it applies to me.

I serisuly DO NOT like to get barked at so if you wanna bark at people go do it somewhere else and not on a forum where people come for their enjoyment ok?


and also I KNOW i have to look for AAT4 and the dots etc but I just asked for the liklyhood of those being equipped with them chips. Not if they where them for sure

I'd be keeping the twinmos that I ordered myself as I know it was a gamble. But the Garbage I recieved will not even post. I am RMAing for legitemate reasons.

Fancy putting mixed ICs on the same stick, ptah! :stick:

That said, everyone should accept that it is still a gamble at the moment, if you lose out and the RAM does what it says on the sticker, live with it.

Has anyone actually tried settings other than 2-2-2? If they dont mind higher latencies... Not only is this ram VX killer, it could be TCCD killer as well (if we can keep increasing the fsb) :idea:

[I know it's been mentioned, but I havent seen any results, and I'm away from my pc right now]

Calm down a bit! ;)

Alonso's answer might not have been the most friendly one, but he was right.

How the hell should he know what this particular shop is selling??? If it's new stuff, then your chances are quite good, to get the Winbond UTT chips. But you'll never know without having any detailed info from the shop.
Get that RAM or leave it. We can't tell you what you'll get, because we don't know it either. How should we.
BTW, it would've been enough to read some (~5) of the pages to know what to look for. No need to read all 32.
