OCZ'S BH5 / Corsair's BH5 - Help Me

Hello, I want to buy some new BH5 before it's ccompletely gone.
But I need to know some things -

Which RAM from Corsair is BH5? How It's named?
With OCZ, How their BH5 RAM named?

And which one is better for OCing? which one had better results?
Anyone of you guys had exprience with them? which one you liked more?

Thanks for the replies :)
And sorry for the bad English :(

There is no bh-5 from ocz/corsair that u can buy "new".

If u´r lucky u may find a place with some old stock of memories and there find "new" bh-5...

There are many threads about whats bh-5 and what is not.. use the search function.

I didn't meant that, I meant new BH5 RAM for me, I need new mem.
What I meant I asked how the BH5 RAM from both companies named on the box... XMS? Platinum?

its already completley gone. Sorry.

XMS 1.1 i belive in corsairs case.

For mushkin you want pc3500 black lvl2
For ocz you want pc3500 platinum limited edition.

Corsair XMS3500C2 1.1 or 2.1
Corsair XMS3200LL 1.1

some OCZ PC3500LE Level2 are BH-5 (marked as it) and some are CH-5 (imprint?)

not all ocz platinuum are bh5, only rev 1 i think? rev2 was bh6? and rev2.1 or 3, the latest, is with samsung i think.

Is the 3200LL v1.1 as overclockable as other BH-5? It is much more common for people to talk about Mushkin L2, xms 3500, Hyperx BH-5, etc. (especially when posting high 1:1 FSB results) Just curious since I know where to get some 3200LL v1.1. 2x256.

I only think its talked about less because i've read that corsair ran outta bh-5 before anyone else. Mushkin seems to be the favorite.

I know they discounted products, but I can some at my local dealer and I know to make sure what im getting is BH5.

So I should find Corsair XMS 1.1, But LL or C2?
With OCZ, I think the BH5 RAM is This -OCZ BH5
(2-2-3-6, 433Mhz, And what is EOL??)

Thanks :)

Makes sense. I'm guessing the 3200LL 1.1 ended up in a lot of stock voltage systems because of the popular Corsair brand and "low latency" marketing. So once BH-5 was fully discovered by xtreme enthusiasts they had to look elsewhere. Interesting.

XMS3500C2 1.1/2.1
XMS3200LL 1.1/2.1

EOL - End Of Life

I agree Corsair XMS3500C2 v1.1 is definately BH-5 as marked on the chips.

What does it mean "End Of Life" ?? :eek:
And there's a difference between LL and C2?

Thanks Neo :)
But I need to know if there's a difference between XMS LL and XMS C2 ??? ;)

...there's no difference but the fact the LL is specified 2-2-2-5 and the C2 2-3-3-6... but they are both BH-5 and same PCB.

OK Thanks! :)
One rig with EB3700 and another with BH5... wow, dreamy :slobber:

If you can find BH-5 that is. I would give an arm and a leg for some 2x512MB OCZ PC3500 Platinum LE ;)

Just get any BH-5... KHX3200 is also guaranteed BH-5 (KHX3200A=CH-5). There's also sticks that were originally cheap that has BH-5, like old TwinMOS with Winbond and some Kingston ValueRAM PC3200. These can be just as good as the expensive stuff.

Do you guys OCZ'S BH5 is better than the Corsair / Mushkin / Kingston ones?

tough to say. My OCZ pc3500 LE clock better than my KHX,Corsair, and Mushkin, but bh-5 is a toss up.

Most of the timke, yes, OCZ's BH-5 is better than the other BH-5, but only by a small margin, and I'm talking both OCability and bandwidth.

On my Intel 3.2E ES, The OCZ pc3500 Platinum Limited Edition BH-5 Overclocked Much Better than my KHX3200 BH-5, and I was feeding them 3.4V

Both sets of sticks were 256Mb.

But on my AMD FX-53, It only works good with Corsair TWINX pc3200 or OCZ pc3700EB (512Mb sticks).

Good so i'm going for the OCZ, although they much more rare than the Corsair / Mushkin / KHX ones. Only 4 sticks left in my whole country. :rotf:
