i doubt they will replace the VX series with another type of chips.. no other chips will do 2-2-2-5 250mhz
if they run out of chips they should have discontinued it..
i think just a faulty pair

They even changed the rated timings:
Before - 2-2-2-8
After - 2-3-3-8
What worries me is this is a PC4000 VX kit, surely they can't put an IC that dislikes >3.2v on this kit? Obviously it will be getting replaced since it can't do DDR500 but I find it a little odd is all :rolleyes:Quote:

babyelf,
You can see just by looking at Nephilim's sticks, that they are rated 2-3-3-8 @ DDR500, not DDR400.
That what the product page in OCZ.com says matters little if the stick is rated different. It's normal that the online product description is updated afterwards.
Nothing a few resistors can't fix :DQuote:

Just because Mushkin can't find chips does not mean OCZ has none. Don't speculate when you can get the facts. ;)
So why is there a chip siortage on the UTT ch for the higher end chips? Is there a new chip cooming out soon? a new high voltage chip or what is going on here...all this here is rather confusing...

Geil One Series comes in 2 flavors GeilOne (S) TCCD GeilOne (W) UTT Pc3200 dimms.
Also just a note the most recent shipment of bulk 512 3200 we recieved where all on BP PCB.
Just FYI
just to add to this, I am using GEIL ONE W UTT's and currently running DDR512@2-2-2-5, so far so good.
rock stable at DDR500 2-2-2-5 with 3.52vdimm
rock stable at DDR480 2-2-2-5 with 3.17vdimm
Havent tested to see how low I can go yet, still early stages of testing, still trying to find the highest stable while burning them in.
OMG 3.5V for DDR500?
<3.3V should fo it!
The first post hasnt been updated since JUNE!!
Everything still a go here..or has alot changed and not reflective in the first post?
tia
Any news about Cheap-Sticks with LL-Chips on?
Yes... any news ?
Need here, in Romania, small country with good overclockers :D

Hey Guys,
I see nobody has posted here in a while, hopefully someone will read through it, lol! About 2 months ago I bought a used 1GB kit of Mushkin Redline XP4000's and soon after installing them I realized I had some problems. So after some serious testing I came to the conclusion that one module had gone bad. So I ended up RMA'ing them to Mushkin (Great customer service by the way) and my new replacments arrived 2 days ago.
My new modules have the same model number and both the heatspread and the PCB are the same colors but the spreaders on my new sticks are scalaped unlike my old ones which had just a regular square ones. Fortunetly my new modules are running rock solid at their stock settings:
HTT/FSB: 255
Timings: 2-2-2-6
Voltage: 3.3v Actual BIOS Setting
I'm writting because I'd like to know more about my particular modules. I have read through both charlies and OPP's reviews which are linked off the first page of this thread but those modules both have different model numbers than mine do (991439=model number of the modules both charlie and OPP reviewed). Here's are a couple pictures of my new RAM where you can see their model number clearly.

Does anyone know anything about these particular modules or have a pair of them? From what Mushkin told me these modules are no longer available through Mushkin, they have changed the lineup. Even the paperwork that Mushkin sent me about the memory (Test Parameters/Settings Mushkin Uses To Speedbin their IC's that are used in the modules they sent me). Well the Test Parameters sheet they sent me says it's for the Mushkin Redline XP4000's but with model number 991439 instead of the actual modules I have which have model number 991440.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited, anything at all! They maybe very similar modules as I am using the exact settings specified on the Test Parameters sheet they sent and I'm 24+hrs stable with Prime.
one model number is for the single sticks, one for the dual pack.
Oh, so the 991439 is the number for a single 512mb stick and my model number 991440 is for the dual channel kit? Thanks cadaveca, much appreciated!
Edit, After looking through OPP's and charlies XS reviews it seems that they are both using/testing dual channel kits and the numbers on their kits are 991439 not 991440? Over at dfi-street there is a member who has the same modules (Redline XP4000) and his are also model number 991439. Maybe there just all using 2 single non-matched modules in their reviews? Then again maybe I'm the one who has 2 non-matched modules? Thanks again guys.
NO problem. at least it was something easy to answer!
Now I know I have BH5 UTT chips. Thanks.
Roger_D25, I also have a dual channel kit with the model number 991440. My best guess is that it goes with the new heat spreader design.
The Team Xtreem PC4000 2x512Mb DDR500 BH-5 UTT 2-2-2-5
Mine do SuperPi 32M DDR500 2-2-2-0. :fact:

Plenty in stock for end-users. :)
I have tested a pair of that OCZ PC4000 Gold VX DC kit and for DDR400 with timings of 2-2-2-5 the dimms needed 3,03 volts for running stabil. The max of that kit was 2-2-2-5 @ 255 mhz with 3,32 voltage on DFI. That arenīt good chips...:(Quote:
