[Asus+Dothan]Dead BH5 - Here is the TUT to fix it!

[Waus-mod]

We now know that when you have an Asus motherbaord with the ct-479 and dothan you easily can kill youre mem. Many people say its the problem when using Clockgen and CPUZ at the same time.

So what would it be..

Well after some searching with Thaiphoon SPD editer i saw that (i had 1 "dead" and 1 normal stick in my dfi nf4) thaiphoon spotted 2 times a SPD. So practily the spd is still alive.

When you think about this we all know cpuz enters the spd. So i think that is the mean problem. (dont ask me what happend when this problem occured)

So what i did is reversed the problem :D

<font color="red">Follow this Tutorial and youre pretty bh5 will be running like it did before ;)</font>

Here you see thaiphoon. As you can see thaiphoon see's 2 SPD's, my 52H is my working xms 3200LL to get in windows and 53H is my dead xms 3500. Choose youre dead mem as device (i select 53h)
http://www.techzine.nl/f/g/4442phpG6hZmN.JPG

Second step is to load the "good" dump for youre dead mem. Try to find the simmilair dump for youre mem. So in my case xms3500c2 dump.
http://www.techzine.nl/f/g/4442php5AIgGx.JPG
(you can find dumps in this post, or if you know someone with the same memory you can make a dump from them.

Then give Thaiphoon the order to Fully write the spd with the loaded dump.
http://www.techzine.nl/f/g/4442phpO6uZTY.JPG

Just restart youre pc....
http://www.techzine.nl/f/g/4442phprqe2pV.JPG
AND ENJOY YOURE MEMMORY AGAIN!

Im sorry to say, CPUZ is a truelly great program. But this time its the bad guy and Erases the SPD from the memory!

If people decide they wanna play with custom spd settings OR load an other spd then the original, they could destroy their ram and their memory controllers! Why? Coz Thaiphoon or anything else besides an external spd programmer doesn't access the secondary spd settings. So this can give HUGE problems were i dont want to be responseble for!

So please be clever and put the original dumps in the correct SPD's!

================================================== ======================

Waus!

[ZX7891]

Wow, if this works all the time you are a genious. :)

[i found nemo]

good find! this work on all mem with spd i'm assuming then?

[Waus-mod]

It works ;)

[FUGGER]

Could you just dump from your good mudule and write to the bad module?

[DaWaN]

This is very very very good news my friend !!!! :toast:
Thank I will try it on my BH-6 :)

[Waus-mod]

@Fugger

Well i hope i get youre question..

I had 1 good working 3200LL stick to get in windows so i could load thaiphoon. so i placed the not working stick in dual channel, and windows loaded. Then you can select an dump from the original spd, or mayb (didnt test it) an dump from other mem that has the same layout. But i think the best way is to still use the dump that has been made for the memmory itself.

[Lord_RTKK]

Now is time to get a SPD dump for my dead stick of Twinmos SP 3200 that my DFI killed... :D
Could I dump out the SDP of the working sitck and rewrite the dead stick with it???
[Running to put on mi DFI the TwinMOS sticks... xD]

[Waus-mod]

Well i cant say if this is the same with mem killed by other motherboards. Just for the clockgen+cpuz issue on the asus+dothan. Coz cpuz erases the spd somehow.

[Lord_RTKK]

I think that the UTT problem with high voltages is related to the SPD, with this I will confirm that... ;)
BTW, I have done this with my Corsair BH-6 at this moment. I have the dump out from 1 stick (2.5-3-3-6 @ 200) and rewrited the SPD of the stick 2 (2.5-4-4-8 @ 200). now both are running fine with 2.5-3-3-6 @ 200 SPD´s... :D:D
Thanks for show me this great program... ;)

[El Snorro]

Waus this is a really nice job finding this for the community.

Good luck with your fine 280mhz bh-5 again:banana: :banana: :banana:

[Waus-mod]

NP lord...

As this is just great news for everyone :D

[SlackeR]

Wow. I thought it was impossible to reprogram spd without special equipment. Is i possible to alter the SPD manually?
Say, i want it to boot at 2-2-2-5 instead of 2.5-3-3-7 the first time..

[Lord_RTKK]

Hey men!! My dead stick of TwinMOS Speed Premium UTT-CH is alive again!!!
I have reprogramed the dead stick with the SPD from the good stick.
Now I am writing with two sticks attached @ 268 2-2-2... they perform the same before they dead... :D:D:D
They are good news for all of those people with UTT sticks dead because of DFI vDimm... :D:D

The year just started movieman, give it some time. Great find there waus mod. I wonder if I can reprogram a normal stick of DDR 266 to DDR 400 at the same timings? It works at DDR 400, so why not program it?

[DesertShooter]

Nice found waus! :toast:

[kiwi]

I was going to try this in a day or two but I am glad you did it first :D

But there could be another problem. I have 1 'dead' stick that works only on one (via kt266) motherboard. No post on other boards (tried 5 so far) no matter what - single , dual channel, 1 stick or 2 sticks (other sticks working). So, I really can't load windows even if good stick is used too. Basically, the only way would be some kind of hot plug, like loading Win with good stick and then plug that dead stick and write SPD.

But as I said, luckily I found 1 board of many that gives me a post with a bad stick. And to my surprise it can even pass memtest on that board.



Will let you know how it goes.

Dump the SPD of the working stick, and shut down the PC. Remove the working stick and plug the "dead" one. Rewrite the SPD. This way I have done it with my Twinmos... ;)

I have to load windows to do that and run that program!

But with dead stick I have no Post


But no worries, I found one of many boards where I have a post with that stick

Try using a good stick and the bad one both plugged in together, the good one plugged in normally and the bad one with all the pins covered with scotch tape except the SPD communication pins. The SPD is accessed trough the following pins:

89 - Vss
90 - NC
91 - SDA
92 - SCL
...
181 - A0
182 - A1
183 - A2
184 - Vddspd

These are the rightmost 4 pins on each side of the DDR module, by leaving only them connected you should be able to boot to Windows and Thaiphoon Burner should be able to access the SPD and re-write it.

[kiwi]

I have a problem here:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=41966&stc=1&d=1136670665

I have either only one Read SPD option for a good module (1 bad and 1 good module installed) or NO options at all if only bad stick is installed. Basically it can't detect SPD for a bad module at all and I can't Full rewrite because that option is not available.


Any way to Force the update or other tools for SPD rewriting?

[Micutzu]

Probably the SPD EEPROM is damaged (even if most can take 5V no problem) ... if it's a really good stick and you want it back order a AF24BC02 or equivalent EEPROM and have it replaced, the program it with the other stick's data.

[kiwi]

But why does it work on that gigabyte KT266 board without problems (memtest error free, prime stable)? It just can't read SPD :slapass:

Will I have to resolder that EEPROM chip or is it more similar to MB bios chip replacement? Can they be easily bought somewhere?


And on these boards I have no post (even if timings set manually with the good stick):
P4GD1
P4GPL-X
Gigabyte Intel 845E
Biostar nforce410 s939

[Micutzu]

I don't know why it boots on the Gigabyte, maybe it's defaulting to some preprogrammed timings if it can't detect the SPD (btw, with what timings starts, what does CPU-Z say ?).
The EEPROM has 8 pins and is easy to replace even with a soldering gun and moderate skill ... i don't know where you can find it though, for example i can find AT24C02N (equivalent from Atmel) here (http://www.vitacom.ro/cauta.php?textfield=24C02N-%20ST), it costs 30 eurocents ... but they sell only in Romania.

[kiwi]

Timings are set in bios, 2-2-2-6 1t I think. CPUZ does not show anything at all @ SPD info i.e. it can't read it :slapass:

Thanks, I will check if I can get it, 30 eurocents is cheap.

[Waus-mod]

Cant you just run Thaiphoon on the gigabyte motherboard?

[200%absolut]

a good news for all dead BH5 :D

[Micutzu]

Cant you just run Thaiphoon on the gigabyte motherboard?

Check post #29, he said Thaiphoon doesn't detect the SPD.

[Waus-mod]

Then i think his whole spd or even de module itself isnt working at all.. to bad kiwi.

thanks for the info
maybe thats why my pair of corsair bh5 cant boot the machine after the dothan disaster (cpu died)

i gave it a try this morning, but seems that p4c800e refuse to boot with this pair, is there any equipment that can program the spd. iirc ive seen some device via serial port that can program the spd chip...

anyway thanks for the info

cheers

[pippin88]

I'm attempting this on a stick of HyperX. Unfortunately it won't post in my NF7-S.

I've tried taping the pins except for 89-92 and 181-184. That didn't work :(

Any further ideas? Particular BIOS settings (eg should I be setting a SPD in BIOS, and if so what?)

[wander_jarra]

I had done this using an old asus a7v8x with kt400.

Just put one stick that is right ! and the other one with problem - the one with problem, does not get recognized into the bios and even makes the board beep. An follow the how to at first page - after a resetart i just got all sticks working - in dual channel.

Have already tested with the mushkin and a Kingston HyperX without any problem. :banana:

I just passed an Memtest86+ and no errors - so it´s fully working like a charm.

[omga14]

has anyone tried reprograming the SPD of a PC3200 stick with that of a PC3500 stick without issue?

i'm going to try this with my TMSP's cause they work very well singularly but incur errors at much lower speeds when installed together. i'll post results when i get the balls to do this:D


EDIT: ok i've been having some trouble downloading this program. can anyone host a link so i can download this:

[Micutzu]

There you go, few BH-5 dumps.

[omga14]

thanks for the dumps. i'll try them later. got the download from another thread here. fixed the cooperation issue i was having with my TMSP's. 235mhz at 3.1v's with no errors. didn't play any further cause i want to game for a little while. i'll see how these dumps help out my ram:D

how important does it seem for the SPD data when it comes to overclocking? does anyone know how different manf's determine what to write to the SPD?

[Micutzu]

I haven't noticed much difference between SPD's max frequency wise, but i can say that i've seen a slight performance boost from using Corsair PC3500C2 SPD on G.Skill 1GBGH modules. I'll have the G.Skill SPD posted tomorrow as it's on my computer at work.

@Fugger

Well i hope i get youre question..

I had 1 good working 3200LL stick to get in windows so i could load thaiphoon. so i placed the not working stick in dual channel, and windows loaded.

So you're saying that we must slot in the "dead" stick while the system is with windows loaded allready? I mean, slot in the stick with the system running?

[chefnr1]

Waus-mod if this will work on my redline one half dead and one dead you deserve an OSCAR..

[cpuz]

Hey guys,
this is most likely a conflict between cpuz and clockgen. As far as I understand from what you reported, both programs are configuring the smbus in an different way. Therefore, when updating with clockgen, there is a chance that the actual write is made on the SPD. I'm still not 100% sure about what could really happen, but I'll work on adding a fix right now.
Sorry for the inconvenience, it's a chance you noticed the problem.

Franck

[ixtapalapaquetl]

I will have some Mushkin pc3500 lvl 2 within a week; if need be I can post a dump then.

Question: do you think this technique will work for TCCD as well? In particular, I am referring to the problems many users experience in not being able to run CAS 2.5 after some time, which I have heard is SPD related. This would make a lot more users happy!

Great find.

lol hot swap kills both stick and your mobo
dont do that
try different mobo, until you find one that can boot it
or try some special spd programmer as i mentioned earlier

Just look on the tutorial on the first page. As described you get in your dead stick, then load the dump and then the full rewrite function. then gets the spd reloaded and your mem is back alive :)

Hmm does not that write it to all sticks?, hmm one more thing i got one of my muskin to have 2-2-2-6 timings and pc3200 speed instead of pc3700 and i cant make it back to orginal with the saved dump from the muskin stick..wierd i think this program got some bugs. All my sticks was alive before and stil is it but i wanted to se if i could make the muskins sticks run with twinmos sticks.

[kiwi]

Yes there are SPD programming devices like this:

http://www.memorytesters.com/ramcheck/rcplus.jpg

awesome work ima dl it right now and try but I see no linky for DL...
Ill find it
Could someone post a pic of what pins to tape off and what ones to leave?
Im noob when it comes to counting pins and legs and such and wanna do this the right way first time..
I have a working 512 speed prems ch-5 and a sloppy one, theyll both do 245 with 3.2 but one in dimm 1 errors like a bleach in all tests at same spot 857.8mb so hopefully this'll fix em for me..

If they do ill light one on for ya!!!!


EDIT:ooh and another thing should we run our sticks at stock settings and timings or can I do this at 245 2-2-2 timings?

Doesn't matter what speed you are currently running, this program reads SPD so you are ok.;)

[Micutzu]

You have to cover everything except 89/90/91/92 and 181/182/183/184. Brainpower PCBs have the pins numbered, here's a detailed pic:

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4219/brainpower19af.th.jpg (http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=brainpower19af.jpg)

I'd advise to cover the pins only if the errors are so bad and you can't get into Windows, but by the signs i'd say the chips are damaged and not the SPD and therefore it won't help you. Anyway, do it at default timings if anything.

yeah I tried it and didnt work for me, seems like something is messed up with mine :(
well guess only other option now is to try RMA to Twinmos and see what they send me back, I hear they have crap now for speed prem's anyone know?

Man I wish this woulda worked for me I was sooo looking forward to it..

EDIT: while playing around with it I found something off allthought I dont know if it matters but I figured id post it anyway's
I clicked detect all devices and it gave me back 5 devices
50h
51h
d0h
d1h
and then d7h
when i check all these there all the same readings except for the d7h one, can this be my problem?
And if so How can I fix it? thnx in advance

All edited/changed!

[kiwi]

There is something wrong with OCZ PC3200 Gold (new BH) dump.

SPD says model number ocz4001024DCGE and timings 2.5-3-3-7. But there is no such model and there should not be such SPD timings if RAM has BH chips.

Could the author of this dump specify what model number is it? It could be OCZ Gold EL but default spd should be 2-2-2 or smth like that.

[Micutzu]

It's correct, the 3200 Gold with new BH-5 is rated 2-2-2-5 at 2.8V, so 2.5-3-3-7 is written in the SPD to make it able to boot and work at 2.6V, what most mobos default to. Check here (http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12414), RyderOCZ explains it:

As Nuke says..the SPD (what the motherboard reads off the ram to set timings when things are at auto) is set "looser" so that all motherboard will boot with the ram installed the first time.
Manually set the bios to 2-2-2-5 timings (CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS) and 2.8-2.85V for the ram and things should be peachy.

[kiwi]

OK thanks, that is a bit strange though because I have OCZ gold EL and SPD timings are 2.5-2-2-7. I bought them used, who knows maybe previous owner rewrote it?

[Johnny Bravo]

I've managed to get this spd reflash to achieve alot more than just repair RAM :) I was sold two "matched" sticked of BH-5 but it turns out are different sticks of Corsair RAM. P4GD1 refused to boot at 1:1 ratio fro some reason so reflashed both sticks with the Mushkin Level II Black 3500 dump. Result, first try 273MHz @ 2-2-2-4 timings ! I may play about and see which of the dumps performs best with my sticks :D Anyone any recomendations, what information is stored in the spds, is it just the timings for various bus speeds or is there more?

[Giana]

Yes this tool is just amazing ;) I have done some "editing" to my Infineon 6-A sticks, and this way the never ever again will detected as poor DDR333 with 2,5/3/3/7 from my Board ;) U can have a lot of fun with this tool.

Will try some other settings too :D

[kiwi]

If you load dump and then press F12 you will see what information is stored. The main problem with 2 different sticks is that main timings and/or subtimings are not similar. If you flash same SPD then basically it should solve timings problem.

Mansquatch, i used the SPD off of my better performing stick and wrote that to the other. i was having a performance issue with the 2 sticks in together and this helped me get back on track. maybe this will help you regain your performance if the 2 sticks have the exact SPD written. it's something you could try until someone could post a dump for you ram here.

Nope i dont have on, and on the first page of this Topic there is only a 512 SPD Dumpfile.

BUT ;) I have edited the 512MB Dumpfile to become a 256MB Dump file. Very izi and normaly the SPD files shouldnt differ cause thee 512/256 Infineon 6-A dumpfiles dont differ in any way, too. Checked some 512/256 Dumps of same sticks to proof this. Check the attachment.

You need to fix the checksum, after editing the sdp file.

^^ For what? Have done this for my Infineon 6-A Sticks without Checksumfix too. Works fine. Hm maybe Everest will not show SPD Infos without Checksumfix?

hmmm I have a pair of BH-5 that can't seem to be reprogrammed. They work fine if a little slow and can be accessed via Thaiphoon and apparently written to but when you reboot they just have their original SPD information on them. Anyone any ideas?

Everest will not show the mudule with the bad checksum and some others.

For fixing the checksum:
after the hex "editing" load the sdp file edited with Thaiphoon Burner, go to: EEPROM => fix checksum or (ctrl+F) and save the spd file .

Either you didn't follow the steps correctly as described in the first post, or it has write protection and the software doesn't detect that. Hardware write protect can be disabled by unsoldering pin7 of the SPD chip (WP) from the PCB and connecting it to GND.

[Krimi 2000]

I used dump for G.Skill F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE (TCCD), memory runs OK again,
but cpu-z detect me speed timings:
200Mhz 8-4-4-2.5
and
277 11-6-6-3
but memory are certificated 277 7-3-3-2.5.

Where is problem? Wrong dump?

THe HW write protect isn't on but I suspect the SPD may be at fault. RAM was touch and go in duel-channel now it has black SPD syndrome :( I fear the SPD itself it a little faulty and the PCB too, Vcc line works intermittently, perhaps it's ben flexed in its lifetime and broken internal traces.

[Waus-mod]

Replace the SPD.... only way if the original spd is write protected.

[Micutzu]

Waus-mod, the write protection is activated externally of the SPD chip, trough pin 7 (WP). If pin 7 is grounded, WP is off, if pin 7 is connected to VDD then WP is on and the SPD cannot be rewritten.

How have you determined that WP is off ? I'd suggest inserting the module in the slot, and with the system powered off measure the resistance between pin 7 of the SPD chip and GND; if it's 0 ohms or close to it, WP is off, otherwise it's on and you can't rewrite the SPD unless you do what i've described in the previous post.

[Eldonko]

Just read through this thread and just wanted to double check before trying this. I have a stick of Redline that has issues booting, seems like cold boot but happens all the time. When I can occasionally get the stick to boot it works fine and has 0 errors. Does this sound like symptoms of SPD being screwed up? If so can someone explain why it will boot some of the time still? Thx.

It's the same thing with the OCZ PC3200 Gold that i've described on a previous page; the manufacturer puts looser timings in the SPD to ensure compatibility and safe booting on any system. All the SPD's i've posted are correct and double-checked, it's safe to use them.

Ok learned that also :P So when SPD is WP, you have to solder a ground to pin7?

[Krimi 2000]

Is there somebody, who has dump for corsair TwinX2048-3500LLPRO?
Thanks.

[Johnny Bravo]

yeah WP is off, turns out it was supply line was at fault, have repaired it and now runs SuperPi 32M @ 260MHz 2-2-2-4. :) Still the programming seems intermittant, when a full rewrite takes place, timing data is passed over but lower section of hex is lost (manufacturer module details etc) strange indeed. How do you detect a software WP btw?

EDIT - inc pic of fixed SPD and marked on the read point for WP for reference for other people

http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/4927/bh5spdrepair2sm.jpg

[Micutzu]

I don't think there is such thing as a software write potection for the SPD. I don't know what may cause that problem on your system (incomplete reprogramming), maybe the mobo is at fault. What mobo are you using ? Can you try another one ?

Ok learned that also :P So when SPD is WP, you have to solder a ground to pin7?

When the SPD is write protected you have to unsolder pin 7 of the chip from the PCB and connect it to GND (black wire of the PSU, one of the Vss pins of the DIMM, anything that is GND basically).

I'll update with v-data relabeled utt sticks dump.

[omga14]

that's very interesting as i have the same issue with my UTT BH-5's from Twinmos. before i matched the SPD's i couldn't even get them to run without errors together at low speeds and 2T. i can get 245-250mhz 2-2-2-5 @3.2v's 2T though.

According to Alonso (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57054) (a TwinMOS tech) BH-UTT is the exact same chip as original BH-die (175nm).

MorueM and omga14,
If command rate 2T helps your clocks there is only one part to blame: the memory controller.

Command rate is actually not a memory timing. It affects only the memory controller.

Command rate is actually not a memory timing. It affects only the memory controller.

Well, my 512mb corsair 3502v1.1 does run 263mhz 2.2.2.5.1t, and my 2x512mb v-data relabeled utt runs dual channel 245mhz 2.2.2.5.1t..
But when the 512mb bh-6 is there, then whoops, needs 2t to go past 175mhz..

So my mem.controller is defective? It's my winnie running it, I could try my venice too, but I doubt it'd change something. Anything more enlighting? I'm ready to try things..

[largon]

MorueM,
Since you can run 1T with other dimms there must be something really wrong with the underperforming dimm. Command rate is a mem ctrl timing, thus results can not vary that much considering your Corsair stick has identical (but higher rated) chips.

Does your "defective" stick run DDR400 at any timings?

[T_M]

The fact that this has saved at least 1 person's RAM is enough to praise Waus, let alone the many many people that now have working kick arse modules again!!

i'd like to see MorueM try the other core to see what the end result is. i won't have my other cpu back from RMA for a while and that one is a Clawhammer so i don't think things will get better for me than the current E6 core i have running.

Ouaou I was looking for a magic program like that when I had the Asus A8V mobo with an A64 3500+, the rams simply didn't run over 200 mhz propably because of the DDR333 SPD.

Here's my spd dump file for Kingston Valueram PC2700(DDR333) 256MB BH-6.
:toast:

[audiojunk66]

Source?
According to Alonso (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57054) (a TwinMOS tech) BH-UTT is the exact same chip as original BH-die (175nm).



I found it here on Xtreme but i think it was wrong too after i look a bit further.
But it's strange that the new BH-5 won't run very well on a Asus P4C800(-E) and a Dothan if the chips are the same:mad:

[Gazza76]

anyone got the dump for Buffalo PC3700 (old bh5) 512mb sticks

There you go, the 256MB file modded to 512MB.

why there are greyed options and there is no "Read device" like in the tutorial ? :)

[Micutzu]

Maybe the chipset is not supported, what mobo are you using ?

[kiwi]

What motherboard/chipset?

Maybe the chipset is not supported, what mobo are you using ?

This is true, I tested that program on nForce 410/Geforce6100 and it didn't work at all no matter what modules. On KT266 (the best so far :D) or i915 no problems.

[HydroX]

nah, I'm using DFI LP UT NF3 250gb, and they said at their website, this program support NF2/NF3/NF4 chipset. :)

makes me feel very bad, because atm I have one stick of my teamxtreem dead :(

[Waus-mod]

Well test it on a other pc.. :D

[Revv23]

wow im pumped.

going to try this out on my dead 256 mushkin LvII 3200 stick... that was killed by an ocz booster though so odds are it really is dead. On the other hand it dies at 3.2v, i always felt like i got some bad luck maybe the spd just went bad when i was loading cpu-z.

[hipro5]

Tried on a dead BH-6 (SPD) I have.........I'm convinced that SPD chip IS deffinatelly dead now....:D

dear friend, my crucial ballistix(micron 5B-D) not dead but if I run superpi32M @200(SPD 200 2-3-2-8) it failed.
I tested with memtest can pass until HTT260, can anyone tell me why/ what is the problem and how to fix it(if can), in this thread I can't find the dumb file for my crucial BL6464Z402 (512MB), anyone have it ?
thanks

[tresis]

Ok guys, i managed to resurrect my dead khx512 bh5 stick. It booted in other pc i tried and though windows wouldn`t recognize it, typhoon could see it and rewrite, it turned out that the checksum was corrupted.

Although it works now, the motherboard of the pc (i865 made by intel) i was using to rewrite, says that the SPD information is inconclusive and refuses to boot at higher speed than 266 (on northwood 533fsb).

In everest it can be seen that the SPD of the module is found only for 400mhz (2-2-2-6) and no other speeds. Can someone confirm this for 512 kingston bh5 sticks? What speeds do you see? I don`t have the other stick with me right now unfortunately

I will try it in the evening in my own motherboard.

[Micutzu]

What speed is the stick rated at (PC3000, PC3200, PC3500) ?

[tresis]

KHX3200k2/1g

So it`s PC3200. Also a friend confirmed, there is only one spd mode for these.

[Micutzu]

Yes, KHX3200 BH-5 has only one rating, DDR400 2-2-2-6. Here's the SPD you need for your 512MB stick, try to overwrite once again using this dump.

[tresis]

Already done, thx. I will post back when @ home.

[GT-one]

lol hot swap kills both stick and your mobo
dont do that
try different mobo, until you find one that can boot it
or try some special spd programmer as i mentioned earlier

So if my system doesn't run with the dead stick in, and I can't do hot swap, and I haven't any sdp programmer... This means i can't do anything more, doesn't it?

I have 3 sticks of corsair XMS3500 BH-5, two with a hologram (one of which was dead) and a non hologram one

the non hologram has different spd in cpu-Z strange....


Anyway thank again your a legend :toast: i now have 3 sticks to find the best two from :)



Edit i also have two sticks of ballistix that dont seem to run right since i used them in the dothan rig, i am going to try this on them too

Just like to mention that I just fixed my dead BH-6 with a hot swap. It wouldn't boot in either of my rigs and I'm kinda in the middle of nowhere. I tried with the tape and that didn't work, so I waited till the screen came on and jammed him in.

Not very clever I know but it did work. :woot:

gonna try this on mine. they're only PC3200's though so i know i'm taking a chance. if things don't show an improvement i'll go back to the original SPD dumps for them. gonna try the old BH-5 dump for the TMSP's to see what happens there. if they go kaput then i'll have a reason to get new ram:D

What happens if i dump my kreton BH-5 (6) into my Twinmos CH stick ?
They dont want to run 2-2-2-x togheter =(

I'm trying, I'm trying.. and I havent said that my bad stick works fine if i put it before useing in the icebox for 15 minutes :stick: but I shotdown my machine, restart, and no signal again..

Somebody can give me a 100% good OCZ5001024ELDCGEVX-K dump? pls :D

[Zebbo]

Try using a good stick and the bad one both plugged in together, the good one plugged in normally and the bad one with all the pins covered with scotch tape except the SPD communication pins. The SPD is accessed trough the following pins:

89 - Vss
90 - NC
91 - SDA
92 - SCL
...
181 - A0
182 - A1
183 - A2
184 - Vddspd

These are the rightmost 4 pins on each side of the DDR module, by leaving only them connected you should be able to boot to Windows and Thaiphoon Burner should be able to access the SPD and re-write it.

A picture of those pins that should be left open would be a good idea? :)
(Not everyone sees those tiny numbers on PCB)

great ! thank you man... do you have some idea about the why your ram is dead ? i also lost one module 3 weeks ago...:confused:

[skaktuss]

my crapy mushkin pc4000 stick still doesnt work even after flashing! it works only if installed while red dram led is lighting! i guess it means that ps is turned on and there is voltage in ram slots! but after shutdown and and turning on, board just beeps error sygnal! so i have to get red led lighting again and then install the stick again!

I'm going to use an old-school BH-5 spd at a BH-UTT stick to see if it fixes the problems that the intel 865 and 875 chipsets can't do high speeds with this RAM.

I need a 256mb BH-5 single-sided spd proferably Kingston or another high overclocking BH-5 brand. I see a lot of spd's but no users have specified if they are single-sided or double-sided sticks.

Can someone please posts a 100% confirmed single-sided spd or can say which spd that has been posted already is single-sided?

Thanks ;)

[Micutzu]

Alex, it doesn't matter if the sticks are SS or DS, the SPD is the same; you can use any 256MB BH-5 SPD posted here, any of them will work just fine.
And by the way, SPD can make a difference in max clocks only with motherboards that don't have full options for setting the RAM timings or when you are using "Auto" settings. If you are manually setting all the timings, the SPD won't make any difference.

Edit: i've used Corsair 3200LL SPD on a 256MB single-sided BH-5 module i have made, and it works OK.

Hi!
I have four sticks, two are mushkin blue (is bh-utt) and the others Gskill gh (bh-utt too), my problem is that i'd like to use the best module of each set, i mean, my best mushkin module and my best Gskill at the same time (like dual channel, since in reality are the "same" chip) but the problem is the spd because are diferent, mushkin is 2-3-3 and Gskill is 2-2-2 and if i put the sticks together i only get beeps from my motherboard, with this method can i flash one of them, for example mushkin with gksill gh spd?

Try if taiphoon detects it.

actually what does you all mean by "dead" sticks?

[chefnr1]

no, taiphoon and cpuz dont detect at all, must mean it´s totally dead or am i wrong???

Strange...

My Muskin Redlines PC4000 can´t boot at 6 different Boards (3 x NF4, 2 x i875, 1 x i855) after a CmosClear. They started only from my DFI with 3 V, even I dumped them with the file from the first side.

I don´t know, what happend to them, I bought them used (but dead, what I realized to late).

And now, nothing more to loose I used the file from my OCZ Gold VX PC3200.

Result: they boot after a CmosClear with 2,6 V - now Prime running and testing :banana:

Funny: they are still programmed with 2.0-3-2-6 and shown as Mushkins :confused:

Enclosed the dumpfile from my OCZ VX...;)

i got my OCZ 2x512mb EL Platinum REv.2 @ 3.1Voltage and its not overclockig anymore beyond 220Fsb and i cant run CL-2.5 or 3 because i overvoltage it..

so does that program will fix my problem?? will the OCZ REV.2 will be able to overclock agian @ 300FSB??

if so.....then its miracle

[stummerwinter]

Strange, did it again and now my Mushkins are OCZ, and also the SPD-timings were rewrite...:rolleyes:

From originally 2.0-3-2-6 now to 3.0-3-3-8 and the DFI ist booting with 2,6 V. At the first trial it worked, but after removing and put it in again into the slots the RAM didn´t start.

It still didn´t start from my DFI 855GME...:(

I think, the RAM has a hardware damage from to much voltage...:(

But they are damaged anyhow, so I don´t care about them.

I dumped the OCZ on the Mushkins, but didn´t work either. So I dumped back with the file in Post #1.

But they still run only with 3 V, doesn´t matter which timings @ 200 MHz.
