Kingston HyperX "UPDATE BH5's"256MB 3200 CL2 2-2-2 $44!!!


http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3325952

it would be amazing if these were BH-5's, the volts and SPD makes me believe they are, but no way outpost has BH5's in stock, or just got some. I ordered some overnight shipping for less than $9 for shipping overnight. I ordered the Patriot 1gig kit for $158 yesterday and got it today.

Whatever They are, BH5 or Samsung 222 chips, $44 is a good price even for generic memory.

[Nohto]

The very first kingston that I bought back when Opp was first praising it used 2.5v and then later on the 2.6. The 2.5 had better results, which probably means that the later is not BH5

[Nomjr]

Ordered! Thanks Ted :toast:

[Tedinde]

Mine will be here today, i got the tracking number. I'll do some testing and pop the spreaders off also.

[megahurtz-oc]

i bet these are the samsung chips.

[Nohto]

For the price it doesn't really matter. You can't buy the 256 modules for under $80.00 anywhere else.

[megahurtz-oc]

i agree still a great deal. i just wasnt happy with the ocz plat.rev 2 samsungs i bought they just wouldnt oc worth a crap.

[Tedinde]

I just ordered 10 more sticks. I pulled off the heatspeaders off both sticks an guess what i found.

Winbond BH5 336wf W942508BH-5

How the hell do they have BH5's???

[AudiMan]

Hey guys, these sticks are 168 pin and not 184 pin.

Can anyone explain this? I thought 168 pin RAM was for the old school PC-133 style modules.

[AudiMan]

Kingston HyperX 256MB 3200 CL2 KI Speed 400 168 Pin

Double Data Rate PC 3200 Memory:
Outpost #: 3325952
This document describes Kingston's 32M x 64-bit (256MB) DDR400 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) CL2 memory module, based on eight 32M x 8-bit DDR TSOP components. This module has been tested to run at DDR 400MHz at low latency timing of 2-2-2-5 at 2.7V. This 184-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers and requires +2.6V.


Edit: I think they made a typo. First they mention 168 pin, then in the description they mention 184 pin. - My bad.

[lostark374]

just ordered 4 in california with overnight and tax total was $203.55

[morbidj]

Wow that is a nice price I just ordered me a couple thanks for sharing

[Jeff]

Wow... thanks Ted. ;)

[Lithan]

Wow. Dual or single bank? How are the chips doing?


I bought four sticks of it. Since I can run 4x512 @ 7-3-3-2.5 on this machine, I'm hoping I can do the same with 4x256 @ 5-2-2-2. If not, I should be able to at least break even selling them.


Overnight shipping is DIRT CHEAP!

It was like $7 ground $9 2day and $10 overnight for me.


Outpost/frys has been having some really good deals without any MIR rebates lately. Maybe they are trying to turn their perception as a crappy reseller around.

[CTKP]

4 sticks here, lets hope they're consistantly BH-

[blinky]

I just ordered 10 more sticks. I pulled off the heatspeaders off both sticks an guess what i found.

Winbond BH5 336wf W942508BH-5

How the hell do they have BH5's???OH SNAP DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tedinde]

They are single sided. Outpost has killer prices on their overnight and they ship in the middle of the night. Someone @ another forum told me outpost shares their warehouse with DHL, And they work all night so they even ship out @ 3am. I ordered the 10 sticks above and a visionteK x800 pro they had on sale. $329 and shipping for it all overnight was $13.35!!!! That's crazy overnight prices.

[Tedinde]

I put them in my sig rig and slammed the volts to them 260 1:1 2-2-2 @ 3.48volts actual. They will do 235 fsb 1:1 2-2-2 in my other rig a IS7-e that's not modded and 2.8 volts to the memory. Whcih is pretty good for low volts.

[Lithan]

This deal is SCALDING Hot!

[Tedinde]

Im about to murder one of my credit cards with a big limit and buy a ton of it to sit on they ebay in a few months when Bh5 is totally dried up, but it is now just about. I can see the wifes eye's widen now if i buy $5000 worth of memory and try and explain how much it's worth later!!!

[Lithan]

I was looking at emptying my savings for it, but you figure after ebay fees and shipping and such. You'd have to get about $60 a stick before it started to become worth it. And nowadays, $120 is about all you can get for a 256x2 kit of most bh5. And HyperX isn't considered valuable like Mushkin 3500 lvl2 is.

At $90 a pair it's a great freaking deal. at $90 + shipping + ebay fees + paypal fees + your time to list, pack, ship, etc + gas and car wear to Post office. I figure you are looking at $105 easily as your cost. Still a nice price, but nothing you'd die for missing. And frankly, I wouldn't expect 256meg sticks to appreciate much anymore.

Hey Tedinde, whereabouts you at in DE? I'm about five minutes from hockessin. I ordered around 9 EST. I wonder if they'll arrive tomorrow.

[Jeff]

I ordered at 7pm EDT yesterday, they shipped 1hr later and are scheduled to arrive to my house today by 10:30am. :D Wow... I like Outpost! :lol:

[CTKP]

Oh thats right, no one on the east coast has a Fry's to run to..pity

[dinster]

I put them in my sig rig and slammed the volts to them 260 1:1 2-2-2 @ 3.48volts actual. They will do 235 fsb 1:1 2-2-2 in my other rig a IS7-e that's not modded and 2.8 volts to the memory. Whcih is pretty good for low volts.

all of the RAM u received are BH5s ??

[CTKP]

Whats the easiest way to take off the clips? want to make sure they're BH

oh - I recieved 3x256mb and 1x512mb sticks, looks like i need to buy one more.

[dinster]

as far as i know Samsung TCCD chips can't do above 220Mhz at 5-2-2-2 no matter how high the voltage is..

so if u can OC your newly arrived RAM ABOVE 220Mhz with 5-2-2-2 timing.. definitely u've got a BH5..

would u mind OCing it for me ?

[sparkie34]

just got 2 sticks...bh-5

I use a small pocket knife and put a small piece anything plastic under my "lever" point when prying off the little silver clips. Then you have to pry gently on the Heatspreaders to get them off of the tape.

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

I want to live in America :(

[sparkie34]

BH-5 Goodness! :thumbsup: :rocker: :bows: with only 2.8v!

Ordered last night at 10:30pm eastern time and they show up at my house 9:30am the next morning. The kicker is i only paid for ground service, not overnight!!!

Thanks TEDINDE! You the man! :banana: :toast:

you should be able to get those clocks @ 2.6v

[Playful_Buffalo]

ahhh now i am excited, i am gonna ask my dad for some DEF


AHHHH :D

[lostark374]

my order says delevered but its not here ....hmmm also says it will be shipped airborne express but the tracking info was from dhl......maybe they sent it dhl to an airborne truck for delevry?



wow i spelled delivered wrong 2 times

[sparkie34]

DHL=Airborne Airborne=DHL

[lostark374]

strange ..it shows a recptionist signed for it but it was sent to my house and it was signed for in the city next to me? very odd

[sparkie34]

I would get on the horn with them and let them know.........fast!

[megahurtz-oc]

this stuff is bh-5. got mine today. 336wf did 250@ 3.2 volts. sparkie the reason you got them so fast is that there is a warehouse in wilmington ohio. good stuff huh. very pleased with this stuff. i have to say this is some of the best ram ive owned, funny thing is its also the cheapest i ever paid.

it is good stuff. I just ordered some more. :hehe:

[Tedinde]

I got my 10 sticks today. I was worried, half were 2.5v and 2.6v. I removed the spreaders on all of them to verify, They were all BH5!!!

Again if you want BH5's this is probably your last chance unless you want to pay double for them down the road!!!

[sparkie34]

They come in oem packs without the warranty booklets. I'm wondering if kingston was holding these back for rma replacements and then just decided to sell them in bulk to frys/outpost. Doesn't matter to me. I'm just trying to think who had this much bh-5 this well hidden for so long.

[dinster]

guys.. all the RAMs u've received so far.. does it look like a brand new unit or refurbished unit ?

need some info..

[sparkie34]

mine are new.

[m0nk33y]

hmmm im tempted, but how the hell did fry's get ahold of bh-5????

[CTKP]

does it really matter? Its BH-5, where else are you going to get it so cheap?

[sparkie34]

I'm wondering if kingston was holding these back for rma replacements and then just decided to sell them in bulk to frys/outpost.

Maybe since they have their new pc3200 LL 2-2-2 out now they can release their stock of bh-5. They could now use the LL 2-2-2 as rma replacements if they had to? :confused: :shrug:

[m0nk33y]

well im buyying four sticks right now.. heheh and i live like 10 mins from fry's... whats the return policy for memory?

[CTKP]

I think its 15 days.

[m0nk33y]

oh wellz screw a new car and phase change :( i ordered 4

[Tedinde]

guys.. all the RAMs u've received so far.. does it look like a brand new unit or refurbished unit ?

need some info..

how do you refurbish memory?? And even if it is refurb, it's been checked by the factory to run @ 2.2.2.5.1 specs before it could go back out!!

but this memory isnt refurbished, there isnt a scratch on them And upon "smelling" them they smell just like a brand new Motherboard,

Same as when you buy a car with that new car smell. You can tell!!!.

Again do not hestitate if your wanting BH5's, you all do realize $44 is the price of Most Generic/ budget memory. There is no way you can go wrong. it's not like your buying BH5 when it was really running short and it was over double that price.

I've ordered 16 sticks so far. And soon as 3 people pick up the computers i have waiting for them. Im going to really stock up. I've got a small computer business and when i find a good deal, i stock up.

3 years ago when crucial dropped the bottom out of the memory market and hurt a lot of their competitors by dropping their PC2100 below $30, quite a few memory makers went under. Toshiba for one. I bought 50 sticks from Crucial on my resellers licence for $24 per stick. One month later the taiwan earth quake sent the price of decent 256 DDR sticks to over $100.

I ended up selling the stuff on ebay for $75-85 per stick.

[m0nk33y]

crap i should by 10 more but i have no dinero...

[m0nk33y]

oh yea can somebody show me how to take off hs without voidng the warranty?

[megahurtz-oc]

half were 2.5v and 2.6v.
wow the 2.5v should be your better oc'ers they rock with high volts....

[lostark374]

got my first 4 ....neighbor signed for them... all bh-5 1 2.5v 3 2.6 so i ordered 4 more hope i get at least 1 more 2.5 to match up .....also the 2.5 has no red logo but the rest did havent tried any yet ...maybe on monday ..i work all weekend

[Bennah]

I want some!

[ArcTan]

damn I'm in the wrong country
:(

[Nohto]

I ordered a couple more and a 512 to go with it. I wonder if it will let me order another 512 today. I ordered 2-256 a couple days ago, and 4 yesterday along with the 512. Anyone know about what their policy is on the 1 per household deal is?????

[TEDY]

they have 512 mb bh-5 kingston hyper-x too ?

[Nohto]

Yep, search the memory and they have a 1 per household limit. $89.00 per stick I believe.

[TEDY]

if you mean this

Kingston 512MB PC3200 400MHz 64x64 HyperX DDR Memory 184Pin - Model #KHX3200A/512 - Lifetime Warranty

Double Data Rate PC 3200 Memory:

Limit 1 Per Customer/Name/Address.
Limit 1 per Household.

NOT BH-5

without "A" it would be :P

[Nohto]

That's the stuff I was talking about. If it has an A it isn't BH-5. :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[morbidj]

Its CH-5 IIRC.

[Lithan]

They have 1gig kits of the khx3200K2 for $280. But that price isn't great.

[megahurtz-oc]

They have 1gig kits of the khx3200K2 for $280. But that price isn't great.
it says call for avail. though so i doubt they have it.

[Lithan]

Compuvest has them for $220, but mine came with scratches on spreaders, a capacitor missing and an aftermarket heatspreader backside on one stick. They work fine, but compuvest is so shadey I wont be ordering from them again.

[TyphooN]

I was going to go pick up 4 today at my frys, they were out of stock =/. It's the only frys in ga. I think im gonna wait til theyre in stock again considering if i order online i also have to pay for tax. Is this a sale or how long will this price be like this?

[sparkie34]

These are only going to be online at outpost.com until the supply dries up i'm sure. Don't expect to find them in the stores.

[TyphooN]

Well they told me they would have more that they sold out, maybe ill just order them online. I just wish I could go and pick them up at the store considering they charge tax and shipping online.. thats stupid why cant they just charge shipping. Id rather just pay tax, and not shipping, and get them faster than getting them shipped. But thats me =/. I guess they wont have them for a while, has anyone bought them from a local store here?

[Tedinde]

They have 1gig kits of the khx3200K2 for $280. But that price isn't great.


You can still get 1 gig kits @ zipzoomfly Kingston PC3000 HyperX. I bought 2 pairs of the 1 gig kits for a xeon server rig i sold for 2 gigs total in the box. They were BH5's and they have been for the last year i've been buying them from Zipzoom/googlegear.

[Lithan]

it says call for avail. though so i doubt they have it.


Says "in stock" now.

[MUCHO]

Bought 4 sticks. I have no idea why. Guess I'm too stupid to pass up such a great deal! Thanks for the info!!

:banana: :banana4: :banana:

[Tedinde]

You guys better get yours before i buy it all!!. I ordered some more!!!

[bh2k]

wish I could drop 1500 on memory :'( good buy though

[Tedinde]

I've got a small computer business, so i'll use it. And i stock up to sell when it's totally gone and make a few bucks. Plus i whore it on ebay. Im a power seller on ebay, I do over $5k in sales per month.

This is the 4th time i've ordered BH5 from outpost in the last week. I guess when i said i'lll make some money when it dries up, im partially the cause of it drying up!!!

[Lithan]

How do you manage to stay profitable against dell without their bulk and oem software deals? I've looked at building rigs for a lot of friends, but in the end, if they aren't overclocking, I find that it's usually best to buy a namebrand rig.

[MUCHO]

You guys better get yours before i buy it all!!. I ordered some more!!!

Whoa! Out of those you should be able to locate a few golden sticks!

I picked up 2 of the 512 sticks as well. I figure I have a chance its BH-5 and if not a chance of some nice clocking CH-5. Worst case, I just sell it for $200 which is what I paid for it.

You got PM.


You have to offer what dell doesnt!! And hustle a lot. Plus you would be surprised how good "CUSTOMER SERVICE" will take you and word of mouth. You will find calling dell to buy a computer, they will answer on the 1st or 2nd ring. Then give them a call for service and you will find you have to push 20 buttons on the phone, only to be routed to a terrible connection to customer service in India!!!!

People love low prices but they also love good service!!!

[ArcTan]

You guys better get yours before i buy it all!!. I ordered some more!!!very nice :toast:
I'm just hoping they ship to Australia

[dinster]

it's already out of stock..

blame it on Tedinde !!! :slobber:

[megahurtz-oc]

well the price of bh-5 has went down for all those selling their old sticks for ddr2. i think they sold it so cheap so that could get somthing for it before it became totally obselet.

[lostark374]

i ordered 4 more on friday and its yet to process so im thinking they might be out

[Stang_Man]

i ordered 2 sticks today, overnight.

i live in AZ, so i had to pay tax too.. :(

will let you guys know how they do, i think :p

[Bennah]

You guys better get yours before i buy it all!!. I ordered some more!!!

:eek: There is none left...

[CTKP]

It's back in stock.

This stuff is good :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I've got 4 sticks of the 2.6v variety in my rig right now doing 2-2-2-6 240mhz with 3.1vdimm. Simply amazing.

[PnoT]

Was going to say they're out again but 10 mins later and a refresh on the page and they're back in stock.

Possible dumb question but these will run DC right?

[sparkie34]

I'm running 4 sticks at the same time in DC

[Flash777]

it says 168 pin ??

[Stang_Man]

wtf. my order status says backordered :(

[TEDY]

ordered 4 modules :)

[lostark374]

mine are back ordered also and i ordered on friday morning

[PnoT]

I ordered 2 more sticks today around 11pm and my items are being added and should be shipping shortly. I'll post back when i get a confirmation number or a dreaded back ordered email heh.

[Jeff]

Add another to the backorder list. :(

I may actual cancel my order since I'm thinking they might get some non-BH5 replacements... :confused: but I don't really know that for fact... it's just a hunch.

[Bennah]

That sucks Jeff :(

[megahurtz-oc]

wow i ordered some more on friday and they will be here tomorrow?

[Bennah]

They surely dont have many left now...

[Stang_Man]

that's what i'm thinking too:(

[CTKP]

I ordered again yesterday, and it was shipped today. Any reason to believe its not BH-5 anymore?

[Bennah]

Even if the late supplies arnt BH-5, its still cheap for even normal 256mb sticks. I do hope that they do have BH-5 left.

[Flash777]

It would be nice if the first memory I ever bought was bh-5 :)

[Stang_Man]

Even if the late supplies arnt BH-5, its still cheap for even normal 256mb sticks. I do hope that they do have BH-5 left.

i could care less about having 256MB sticks..


no one has 512MB in there systems anymore.. :(

[Bennah]

I'l have 512mb sticks in my main system, once I get it up and running. For benching purposes I'l use 256mb sticks.

Right now im running some 256mb sticks of ocz 3700 gold, really want a gig set of something.

[sparkie34]

Just got off the phone with outpost and the girl on the phone claims that they are out of stock for good. I ordered my last 2 sticks on Sunday and she said they'll get to me tomorrow.

[Bennah]

argh :(

[TEDY]

luckily i ordered 4 last night :D

[m0nk33y]

hehehe got my 4 sticks today

[Bennah]

:( you are all teasing me lol. damn paypal aint working for me so i cant pay for none...

[Tedinde]

Most of these are accounted for but i stocked up like i MOFO!!!

[sparkie34]

I see quite a few 2.5v sticks in there. How are they clocking for you? My 7 looks measly compared to what you have sitting there!

[Bennah]

Tedinde, thats some stash of BH-5 right there!

I may have to request some sticks from you if you will sell, if I cant get any from OutPost.com

[Tedinde]

I had a stash that was about the same size last year but i sold them all for a few extra $$'s.

Here's a pic of last years Dual Channel BH5 stash!!! I still have it saved in my favorites and on my comcast server

[Tedinde]

It should, you bought it all!!! hehe!!! And you though you had the last of it Eva2000, I still cant figure out how or where outpost got it. When i called yesterday before mine shipped like i said, They guy said they were getting hammered.

I did have to sweet talk him a bit to get him to go down and fill my order, He actually told me it wasnt looking good on my last order!

I hope everyone else made out alright.

BH5 is fine, but i'd actually take the crucial Ballistix memory i've been buying anyday over it.

[eva2000]

yeah and my BH-5 were bloody expensive! but very nice at 270mhz 2-2-2-6 :)

unfortunately crucial has rerated their ballistix for 2-3-2-6 now due to lower quality ics

[MUCHO]

I got 4 256 sticks, and 2 512 sticks. Anyone know if this 512 stick is BH5? I figured worse case its a good price for CH-5.

I'm too newb to know how to take off the heatspreaders. (Unless someone can explain that 2 me)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v346/MUCHO/Case%20Pictures/BH5.jpg

[CTKP]

put it in your system and set timings to SPD if boots with them at 2226 its mostlikely BH5

How did you get 512mb sticks?

Edit* I mean 2226

[MUCHO]

put it in your system and set timings to SPD if boots with them at 2225 its mostlikely BH5

[eva2000]

MUCHO that ain't BH-5. KHX3200A/512 = CH-5

[CTKP]

I think its BH5, I recieved a 512mb stick for some reason along with the 256mb pieces i ordered. It has the same model number as yours 9905193... but mine is rated 2.5v. I ordered one of the sticks you pointed to, and got overnight shipping. It should be here thursday and I'll report.
They probably recieved 512m sticks along with the 256s and didnt create a new product list of it on their site.

[CTKP]

MUCHO that ain't BH-5. KHX3200A/512 = CH-5
his picture shows KHX3200/512 non "A".

very nice :toast:

[Stang_Man]

my order is backordered.. they have no idea when they'll be getting new stuff :(

so i canceled it.

[Bennah]

Yea, I think thats it. Its all gone :(

[Stang_Man]

double checked with outpost just now.. and they aint getting these sticks again any time soon :(

[Jeff]

double checked with outpost just now.. and they aint getting these sticks again any time soon :(

I thought you didn't care about 256Mb sticks? :confused:


i could care less about having 256MB sticks..
no one has 512MB in there systems anymore.. :(

[Stang_Man]

I thought you didn't care about 256Mb sticks? :confused:

no, i dont care about 256MB of anything BUT BH-5 :p

[Jeff]

:lol:

That's what I was thinking myself. I've tried to swear off 256Mb sticks... but this was too good to pass up.

:toast:

[PnoT]

I ordered 2 more sticks and had a confirmation email and it showed my order in progress on the webpage. I had selected overnight shipping as well. Two days later my order looked the same on the page so i called them up and they told me that they had no record of my order at all even thou i gave him the confirmation and everything. He basically told me "that sometimes happens"... i was like "so what are you going to do about it" and of course "sorry but nothing" type of answer. Needless to say i was shorted two sticks cause of their system. Talk about crappy customer service!

So the 512mb sticks are definately bh-5?

[CTKP]

Not definitely. But, you have to think. If kingston sold them their RMA stock of BH5, they didnt just send them 256ers', so I think Outpost are just selling them through the 3200A, instead of placing up a new Item. I bought a 512mb stick yesterday, it will be here tomorrow.

I was browsing over anandtech hot deals and not a soul in there will take off the heat spredder to 100% identify if it's bh-5 or not. I really wanna place a few orders if it is. Would you mind reporting back when you get your stick :D

[CTKP]

Yeah, no problem.

[blinky]

Most of these are accounted for but i stocked up like i MOFO!!!dude, i wanted to get some :mad: :( :( :(

[s e t h]

it's not Tedinde's fault. that huge order is for me. us benchers down here in south africa have never really had the chance to buy bh-5 before so we all got together and placed that huge order. soz for taking so much but i'm sure you'll all understand.

these might be bh-5 too
somebody should call outpost and confirm that the codes as listed are coorect. i got a kit with these codes two weeks ago from aother source and i'm sure they are bh-5

[Bennah]

Yup they look to me BH-5, non 'A' versions ;)

[TyphooN]

I ordered 4 sticks but it said that they are on backorder, I don't know if they will ever get more.. If not can someone sell me theirs? :0

[megahurtz-oc]

man got 2 more sticks delivered yesterday and im pissed. they wer used sticks that had scratches all over them and the gold contacts were used heavily one stick was 2.5v without tikiman on the spreader guess i got the last of the last. i would have rather them cancel my order then send out crap like that. but they were bh-5. ill pop them in tonight see if they even work.

[TEDY]

yeah report to us...i would hate getting them and see they don't work grrrr..

[CTKP]

Well the 512 i recieved is KHX3200/512 - non "A", so it looks to be BH5. I will do some testing in a bit.

[TEDY]

seems you guys are getting KHX3200 instead KHX3200A from outpost eh ?

90$ only ?

seems nice deal if you get BH-5...even if you get KHX3200A it's not bad at all....

[MUCHO]

I have 2 sticks of the 512 - 2 more arrive tomorrow.

So far both are BH5 (I think)

Dunno how to remove the heatspreaders...

:(

[lostark374]

well an update to my order after some :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing and complaining by me they shipped 2 of my last 4 i ordered

Definately let us know if the 512 sticks are bh-5 !@

You can easily peel off the spreaders with a small flat head screwdriver or butter knife. Anything flat you can lift the edge of the spreader with without hitting components.

[TEDY]

that's not true...you can damage chip easily...

[PnoT]

that's not true...you can damage chip easily...

I've pulled off atleast 10-15 sticks and have never even come close to damaging them or having anything else wrong with them. If your cautious and SLOW you can peel them moff without a hitch. They're only put on with crappy thermal tape and some have a thin layer of sticky epoxy looking stuff. Of course it's up to you on whether you wanna pull them off or not :D

Yea me too, i got 4 sticks and 1 of them was in bad conditions. Heat spreaders were discolored and contacts were scratched....

[CTKP]

Anyone having really bad problems with this ram? NONE of mine are memtest error free. Can some of you guys run memtest and report back? Thanks

[hipro5]

He,he,he.......It's GOOD to have friends everywhere in the planet.....One of my friends - among us - took 4 pieces for me.........Thanks my friend..... :D :toast:

[megahurtz-oc]

ya the last two sticks i got were in crumby condition and used. the one w/2.5v (scratched)on it wouldnt even boot at stock speed the other is ok i guess. itll do 255 with 3.3v 2-2-2-5. the first 2 i got were brand new and they will run 245 3.2 2-2-2-5. im sending the one back for refund.

[Lithan]

I only tested my 4 sticks together and @ my system settings. They did 4x256 2-2-2 @ 224 with about 3.0vdimm.

[kristos]

i don't suppose anyone would sell a set? :cool:

[megahurtz-oc]

look on ebay there are all kinds of people selling the stuff they got from frys. package the same and everything. i bet they kept the good sticks for their own collections. they are making about 20.00 a stick on them.

maybe it's not compatible?
How so? its just ram? tried them in an AI7 (865pe), and MSI K8N Neo2 (NF3 Ultra)

[Lithan]

Mine all memtested just fine.

No, they are gone.
Yes, it was BH5.
Bad reseller. Mine arrived damaged.

Yeah, mine too. All eight sticks. What a shame, I thought i was the only one with bad luck, thanks for saying something (thought i was cursed :p: )

[MUCHO]

Anyone know what chips are used in KHX3200A 512/R ?

CH-5?

I tried to get a 512 BH5 stick. Got one. Tried again. Got a bad one that won't pass memtest. Tried again, got CH-5?

:stick:

[Lithan]

My four sticks of 256 from outpost looked new. I was talking about my two sticks of 512 from compuvest. Maybe some shadey outlet had a stockpile of RMA return 512 sticks and somehow got them dumped randomly into the market if you guys are seeing the same stuff from outpost.

[TEDY]

all ram's shipped from OH ?

[NeoGeo]

Is this stuff BH5 too?

http://www.buyxg.com/store/item.asp?cat=90&id=456

khx3500 was rarely bh5. It was usually ch5.

Ah, thanks.

Geia sou kai sena :D


Some info.........about them....... ;)


I got 4 piecies of them and they ALL are with BH-5 chips onboard and do the following it VERY hot conditions - add about 5 - 7MHz more on them when the work cold with some fan blowing on them :

1. Stick No1 : Does 242MHz(484MHz DDR) with 3.2Vdimm and Cas 2 - 5 - 2 - 2 error free.....

2. Stick No2 : Does 237MHz(474MHz DDR) with 3.2Vdimm and Cas 2 - 5 - 2 - 2 error free........

3. Stick No3 : Does 241MHz(472MHz DDR) with 3.2Vdimm and Cas 2 - 5 - 2 - 2 errorfree EXEPT the test "5" of the Memtest-86.......In test "5" I get a lot of errors....So I thought that this stick is with CH-5 chips on board...I opened it and it's also with BH-5 ones...Strange.....Anyways , I put the timings of it at Cas 2 - 5 - "3" - 2 and it does 255MHz(510MHz DDR) error free......No errors with the "3"......It acts like a CH-5 one....... ;)

4. Stick No4 : Put it on and I hear this sound : Beeeeppppp - beeeeppppp - beeeeppppp.....I say WTF is going on here?........Did I put it on right?........I took it off and reput it on.......Beeeepppp - beeeeppppp........Same thing......I took it off and I took a good look on it and GUESS WHAT !!........The tiny SPD chip with the 8 legs was MISSING.......Shi(f)t I said.......Now what?.......I had a PC2700 - well one of them - :D and I unsolder the SPD chip and I solder on the HyperX stick......Finaly it works at 241MHz(482MHz DDR) with Cas 2 - 5 - 2 - 2 and 3.2Vdimm error free..... :)

Beware out there you guys with those sticks......If you're about to get some - if any left - you must be sure that they work....... :)

EDIT : ALL of them where with BH-5 chips and they where different revisions ......Revisions : A.00 = old PCB and DOUBLE SIDED - A.01 NEW PCB single sided BUT BAD contact of the heatspreaders - A.02 NEW PCB single sided and better contact of the heatspreaders due to more(double)sillicon stiker in it.... ;)

BH-5 for SURE......BUT as I figured out the Revision A.01 has problems with the "contact" of the heatsinks onto the chips........Poor contact if any!!........You must do something about that .......The Revision A.02 is OK(so-so) coz they have put some EXTRA silicone sticker so as to make better contact....... ;)

ALSO the Revision A.00 is a VERY old PCB and it propably must be DOUBLE SIDED........BUT it works fine..... ;)

[Lithan]

Would khx2700/512 be BH-5?

Also, yiassou re Hipro5


Some people got bh5. I bought it and got some kingston labeled chips (Not DW5 or DW45's) that did 2-2-2 to 185 @ stock vdimm but Would NOT do 2-2-2 @ 186 @ any vdimm. I seem to remember that they clocked into the 230's with moderate (2.8ish) volts and 2.5-3-3. Never figured out what exactly they were.

[TEDY]

hipro5 contact is good so far...seems module is brand new, everything OK

[hipro5]

hipro5 contact is good so far...seems module is brand new, everything OK

Yes they are new all right........As for the contact ,take a look on them on the "side" of them....not on the botton.....mine is only contacting in the corners of the chips...

[Carnajo]

Thanks Lithan

Since I'm a newb what would you suggest I do to get the most out of my ram?

All of my sticks are A.02 except one which is a A.01. Should I remove the heatspreaders completely? Should I remove spreaders and the stock thermal tape and replace it with Arctic Silver and put the spreaders back on?

Thanks for any advice.

[Lithan]

I wouldn't put AS on ramsinks. Too much risk it'll smear onto traces or contacts.


And yeah. A01 has really poor contact. I'm not removing the spreaders myself because I'm probably reselling the stick, and they can remove them or leave them on as they choose. But I'd say only 20-30% of the contact area is actually making contact.

[TEDY]

so what you guys suggest with A.01 ...just remove HS and cool them with fan ?

[trans am]

so what you guys suggest with A.01 ...just remove HS and cool them with fan ?

only use arctic silver ceramique on ram.

[MUCHO]

only use arctic silver ceramique on ram.

I got a huge tube of Ceramique. Would it be a good idea to pull the heat spreaders, remove the thermal tape, apply ceramique, and put the heatspreaders back on?

I have heard removing the heatspreaders is pretty easy - just put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes and the clips come right off.

True?

[cetoole]

If you are going to void the waranty by taking off the heat spreaders, why not just put some real ramsinks on instead of the spreader.

[hipro5]

The best will be to remove the heatspreaders of them , go and buy some cooper heatsreaders and put them on WITH some Ceramique on them too..... ;)
