Everest/Aida32! ;)
Yeah, it's AIDA32, CPU-Z and Clockgen.
Tried them with everything up to 3.3v (without a fan, didn't have one handy, but they never got *that* hot) and they were unstable at anything above 200MHz 2-2-2-11. By unstable I mean they blue screened in windows after about 5 minutes of F@H and just booting up!
Arse.
On the other hand my Crucial Ballistix is doing better already at 210MHz @ 2-2-2-11 w/ 2.8v
Well, I'd advise you to get rid of the heatspreaders on these modules, because I often heard that they were put on without good thermal contact. so they hurt more than what they help. Perhaps that explains why they don't seem to get hot and why they are so unstable ;)
what you guys think of
CORSAIR CMX512-3200LL XMS3205V1.1 ?
guy selling them saying he got 218 2-2-2-x 100% stable with 2.8vdimm
BH5! :)
Depends how much he's asking for them ofc ;)
well price is around 160$...but this is slovenija...everything is expensier here...
comparing in usa people still want around 130-140$ for 512 BH-5 i think price is good ?
just in stock? the new ones are with tccd, not bh5 :)Quote:

afaik if dc ocs higher than sc its only due to chipset or voltage problems :)
if you have two sticks they will pull double the amps under load, exactly at the same time, wich will stress the mobo vdimm regulation a lot more. cooling the mosfets, increasing the 3.3v rail and having a good psu with a stable 3.3v rail usually helps a lot :)
glad you like this thread :toast:
cool :) let me know how it went! if you do it very carefully and have a lot of patience you can even put the heatspreaders and clamps into a plastic bag and attach them to the memory again if you want to :)Quote:

but i wouldnt go over 3.6v if you want to keep it LOL :lol:
how much vdimm is that? doesnt it go any higher? 3.3v?Quote:

does it go higher with 2.5-3-3? how high?
TEDY, i think the price is too high, but where else do you find bh5/bh6 nowadays? :(
it sounds like good bh5/bh6 as well, 220 with 2.8v is VERY good!
btw trixxy, i added your sticks as
"2372D" 2.0-2-2 3.40v 260mhz (corsair 3500 512mb@nf3)
"311we" 2.0-2-2 3.40v 260mhz (corsair 3500 512mb@nf3)
ok? since you said they werent 100% stable at 267mhz :)
cant wait to add the new results once you get the booster, sounds like some great bh5 there! :D might be a 300 candidate :)
Since it's an unmodded board 3.3v is as high as I can go, and since this Ballistix got me through the last two levels of HL2 last night at 215 w/ 2.9v I'm beginning to think I have the only bad BH5 in existance :( That or this infinity just does not like BH5, which is a grim possibility, although the NF7-S hated it as well...
no! i had two 512mb bh5 sticks that maxed out at 190 and 205mhz with 3.6v ;)Quote:

i doubt they would oc much better in an intel rig, maybe 10mhz at most.
i tried them in an a7n8x deluxe 2.0 of my roomate, an nf7-s 2.0 of a pal and my dfi infinity ... always the same. theres really bad clocking bh5 and bh6, its nothing new...
i sent them back to the shop i bought them from :D
that shop has a great policy so you can return any hardware after 1 week testing it if you dont like it and get your money returned :) you dont even have to mention why you dont like the hardware, and you get even the shipping costs refunded! :D
great shop :D
hi, i'll be getting some corsair XMS3500 v1.1...they're all BH-5 right? hopefully i can add to the database :)
hey poch, welcome to XtremeSystems :toast:
im not sure, i dont know about the different corsair numbers... but iirc its bh6 and not bh5 :) should still oc great, corsair xms 3500 sticks are overclocking extraordinarily well compared to other bh5 and bh6 sticks, not as well as ocz bh5 and bh6, but close :)
cool thanks :D i'll check as soon as i get them.
Donno but ill tell u when i go home for chrismas. im still in training with the airforce and can't wait till mar 11Quote:

sorry for the double post forgot the pics :)
poch would you sell them ?
tedy i just got them so i'll play w/ it for a while :)
i haven't tried it w/ the booster yet..i'll give you a pm should i decide to sell it later on..
btw it was the PSU after all :rolleyes: whew!
wish i had such friends...you payed only 200$ ?
Great RAM there... rev1.1 is definitely BH-5 :)
Burn them in a lil ;)
the more memory the more stress on the vdimm and vref circuicy and the more they fluctuate, therefor you get a lower oc the more memory you use.
do they work together in sc? iif not then its probably that dc also stresses the dimms a bit more and 2.75v is very little for bh5.
thanks :)
saaya haven't tried running them in sc, only individually and in dc. yup 2.75 is pretty low but it's the max my IC7 would go (rev.1.0) :(
i have a booster on the way tho but i read here that its a bit tricky to get it to work on a v1.0 IC7 and that i need the vtt mod.
try the 3.3v rail = vdimm mod then... it works on most boards and vtt usually tracks automatically :) the only bad point is that its fixed at 3.3v but 3.3v is fine for bh5 :D
and if you want more vdimm you just have to bump the 3,3v rail :)
