Hi, I am searching for people that have tried the OCZ Value VX, the ones with UTT-BH (2.5-3-3-6) and I want to ask you guys, the ones that have tested them, how far have u Overclocked them? And if they were a good Buy.
I saw in a review of Anandtech that they used 245mhz with 3.3V. What results do u have?
-Greetings
Ps. I´ll build a Table with the results when u post them.
lol nobody ?
ram cost now just 105$ !!!!

My set sucked. Would only run CAS 3. Even with 3.8v.
Switched to the 4000 Gold. Results have been much better.
i have the value vx with ch-5 utt
at 255 3.3v 2-2-2-5 ona msi neo2 plat. the one's i bought are from the first week that they came out i dont know how they are now(the newer ones)
but i think the new value vx uses bh utt
Could someone confirm that one? i thought that utt-ch is better than utt-bhQuote:

newegg is out of stock..excaliberpc wants bloody 130$ for them...where can i get them around 110$ max ?
I'm not sure what chips my Value VX has, but every once in a while 240MHz 2-2-3-11 is stable. I say every once in a while because my motherboard is dying slowly, and one day an overclock will be stable and the next day it won't be.
Atacom had a good price last I checked.
I cant realy O/C my rig, mobo only allows cas change and htt change.
Everyonething runs fine at 2-3-3-8 at ~220 on stock volts, /shrug.
DFI is in the mail and once i get enoughh $$ a venice then i can test them out =)
Mine do 220 fsb on my nf7-s 2-2-2-11 with 3.2 volts :D
i thought i'll see more results on A64 systems
This is mine...
i tried mine yesterday on a friend's mobo and it is fully stable out of the box @ DDR400 @ 2-2-2-7 @ 3.2 volt and we were able to reach DDR500 @ 3.5v but with thousands of errors but as soon as we put active cooling on both the ram and the mosfets the errors were down to ~20error in every loop of test 5
since yesterday i kept them with my friend burnning them using snarda DDr400 @ 3.2 volt
thos ram are really awesome for the price and the perfromance since out of the box they perform like the PC3200 Gold VX
i think i'll buy a heatspreader for them for better cooling beside the active
EDIT Update
My Results after 1 day of using
after less than 8 hours burn-in using sandra FSB200 @ 3.2 @ 2-2-2-8 the ram today is stable DDR500 @ 3.4v and DDR510 @ 3.5 which is an amazing result after only 1 night of working on it :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
i used the setting from here for the timings and i got a great increase in the bandwidth in the Read & Write test of Everest
gonna burn them till tom on DDR500 @ 3.4v :d
for everyone GET THIS RAM
you got a bit lucky with your sticks :)
most of them aren't as good as yours.
And for better cooling you shouldn't buy a heatsprader because it doesn't help you cool down your sticks... just ram coolers help.

Dragon
3.6v
gonna burn it in more.. 3dmark05 stable..
hopefully to be able to use 3.5 for this settings
3.4v only for DDR510 and they are stable :banana:
in sandra for BURN IN
ticking only this ?
MEMORY BANDWIDTH BENCHMARK
CACHE & MEMORY BANDWIDTH BENCHMARK
RIGHT ?

My OCZ Value VX set really sucks. Very unreliable. Would not even run at stock timings shown on the label at 2.6v and 2.8v. I think they are even faulty. I'd recommend anyone buy somethinf decent and not waste, their time, money, and electricity, like I did.
If you are just expecting something that just run at stock speed wih OC-ability as a not-too-serious plus, yeah go for it.
my progress with value vx

I have some of this stuff, its ok, it did 217-220Mhz at 2-2-2 and 3.2v but that’s about all. Decent for the $$ I guess though.
