i hope this isnt too OT, but when using RAM like this on the DFI boards, while the RAM will run hotter with more volts, the actual MOSFET area of the board will run cooler due to more of the 5v line being pumped directly into the RAM, correct? I'm jsut trying to debate what the tradeoff is and how risky it would be to run memory like this up around 3.7-3.8+ volts in a 24/7 setting, even with good memory and board cooling.
Is it doable, or should I only consider this stuff for benching runs? also, I wanna know how much these things cost!!! :slobber:
Duonger> Can you confirm that it is UTT-BH5 and not UTT-CH5 ?
I posted the question on Mushkin forums, when are these sticks going to be available through Mushkin's website. After 24 hours, no replies yet.
What makes you think this stuff is bh5-utt? Because old bh5 did better than ch5? Honestly, there's a huge amount things on those modules which affects overclockability, the chips are not the only one.Quote:

What suprise me is that VX got UTT-CH5 and for now they're the best 512MB sticks with tight timmings. I wonder if finaly UTT-BH5 would not be better than UTT-CH5.
But for now we do not have enough facts and we do not know how selected those sticks were.
We will be releasing the New products this week. It will be in conjunction with some things that we are doing inhouse. This is the information that I got from our meeting this morning. Please keep looking at our website. www.mushkin.com Resellers are informed already and it is a matter of how fast they can sku up the product.

TransAm..... were they wearing thier "magical underpants" when they were doing all this? :cool:
So I havn't found this stuff anywhere has anyone else?
Dragon
Nope

Duonger, can you tell what IC are on them for sure ? or at least say that you don't know or can't say it :rolleyes:Quote:

Some one try Trfc 12.
My guess is that they will not boot. (CH-UTT)

There is 5MHz more that I ever saw - out of the two other kit 1 is also better than the best VX. Mushkin seams to take a different move than OCZ or GSkill, who both use UTT-BH5 @ 200SPD and OCZ prefer UTT-CH5 for 250SPD :confused:
I used to think that UTT-CH5 would go higher than UTT-BH5 now I'm not sure of that. And even if 512MB UTT-CH5 sticks where never selected by user really arshly, 2x256 are still beating them at SPI, those 5MHz are still important.

No, I don't KNOW what the Redlines are... never removed the spreaders. I said my old Mushkin BLUES were UTT-BH5...Quote:

If the extra time and care means more expense which results in slightly higher prices than their rivals, that may not be a problem for Muskin because OC'er will pay premiums for even tiny performance gains. I've noticed most of the posts are related to performance and how to find them. Very little mention of price. :)Quote:

Great results, great ram. If those sticks tend to get 270 on average they will definitely be THE sticks to BUY :D :up:
I agree largon... all the A64 screenies so far, apart from k|ngp|n's old school BH5 screenshot, seem to show Trfc >= 15Quote:

I can bench well into the 270's but about 268 is where memtest starts to get some errors and super Pi 32M maxes about 265-268 somewhere in there.Quote:

BTW MUSHKIN ROCKS CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON A GIG SET OF UTT-BH5 REDLINES (if they are infact BH-5 UTT but then again some of the CH-5 seem to clock better o well)

lets just hope they like burn-in too ;)Quote:

Nice sticks, but I think they are same OCZ VX4000 :p:
the ballistix can compete with TCCD very easily. The fact that they need voltage left them behind. We all know that the OCZ eb series needed some voltage to run tight timings. The Anandtech review of DFI NF4 with ballistix where they gave the ram around 2.9V showed that the ram can very well do 280 mhz. When you compare ballistix and tccd at the same clock rate , ballistix has BETTER performance than TCCD. The only thing going for tccd is the insane versatality that it offers . DDR400 with tight timings or DDR600 with loose timings. All can be done with the same ram module. Even ballistix did 2.5-3-3-6 at ddr560 with 2.9V. I know the difference between the performance of the two becoz I have owned both.Quote:

Becoz of the need for higher 1:1 ratio and low vdimm available with NF3 chipsets , ballistix still remains one of the most underrated ram on the market right now. If had a 3200+ or a 3500+ venice/winnie/sandiego , i would definitely give ballistix another try.
Soooo soothing... :)Quote:

Just for the record... the "new" BH5 is just the same old technology being produced again isn't it?
Nothing new, nothing added, nothing removed... just back in production to meet demand?
CH-UTT is a different story, we already know it's not he same as the old CH5... but I think these BH chips being produced now are identical.
:confused: Wha? How do the differ? Thought CH-UTT was just untested CH-die :confused:Quote:

Let alone 260 2-2-2 @3.3v?
The potential for 250+ 2-2-2-x was in orig CH-5.
Winbond BH-5 and CH-5 are the same chip on different scale. But CH-5 didn't behave like BH-5 - Winbond's 130nm process was defective.
Winbond needed Infineon tech to enhance their 130nm process.
The CH-UTT chip is same old Winbond CH, built on Infineon-optimised process.
So, anywhere to find these yet, or prices... anyone know?
That IS the question ! :DQuote:

Product Price
512MB XP3500 2-2-2 REDLINE $ 115.00
1GB XP3500 2-2-2 Dual Pack (2x512MB) REDLINE $ 219.00
512MB XP4000 2-2-2 REDLINE $ 125.00
1GB XP4000 2-2-2 Dual Pack (2x512MB) REDLINE $ 239.00
Must resist buying more memory...hehe
Will Mushkin eventually sell 2X256 kits?
where is this stuff, cant find it, thought it was out on monday, i want some!
whats the point on getting 2x256? other than benching?
edit: isnt 1gb (2x512) the norm nowadays?
That's right off their site.Quote:

yeah I agree, no real point even when benching for the most part. 3dmark01 likes 1 gig better, and it's not really worth the tradeoff for a possible 5mhz more.Quote:

man, i want some, those heatspreaders are sexy.
Just ordered a 1GB kit of the PC4000 flava :rocker:. I think I need to sell some of the RAM I've been stock piling. Now I have a gig of OCZ VX, a gig of G. Skill Winbond UTT, 2x256MB Kingston HyperX 3200 BH-5, and now I'm going to have another gig of this Mushkin RAM.
1GB/DIMM is not possible with 256Mbit chips.Quote:

Well... unless someone here knows the entire ground up architecture of both chips it's not something any of us can claim to know. They are similar, no doubt, but let's not blur the lines... a lot of people read what is written in XS and take as fact. That's a good thing, as long as we don't start "claiming" facts when there is little/no basis to our claims.Quote:
