OCZ PC3200 Gold new BH5 die + DFI NF4 SLI-D Part2

618-2. pi time is 1 sec off then previous (i had to loosen up a timing or 2). das ok. my main concern is not pi, but to let the ram get used to running up there.

This stuff seems to work just like the BH-die TwinMOS ram. Trcf of 12 and also the weak drive strength. I'm guessing the chips are made using the same process?

Definetly glad this thread exists
I think im gonna get a set and see how they do :)

the new BH-5 on my OCZ is more stable @ 1.5-2-2-5 than it is at 2-2-2-5/6 or 1.5-2-2-2-6.... dosent 1.5 not suppose to "exist" on the A64?

why would i be more stable at cas 1.5 than 2?

i know this thread is a bit old, and everyone now is getting redline or 4000vx, but im interested in this ram, would just like to know what PCB is it on and does it have small SPD chip (lower voltage one) or the bigger one?

Actually, people bought these instead of 4000VX or Redline
This thread was still going on during there boom
These are BH-UTT, so they're the lower of the high voltage chips
They still need volts, as you can see in the thread, but arent completely useless with anything below 3.1v like CH-UTT

Oh ya, they're on Brainpower PCB too

ordered myself a set too. I think people using VX or redline are using CH-UTT dies and CH is a little bit more fragile cause of the smaller die process. Could be the reason why are having issues with dead modules.

ya i know they are BH5 that is why i want them, to have less chance of them dying since i dont own any other 2x512 anymore

and now at the low low price of $121.95 after rebate for all you folks in the states.

yes thats why i picked up a set

eva2000,

I'm hoping for some of your magic.
I've been trying to push this little old pair of OCZ 2x 512MB PC3200 Gold for the longest time.

Venice 3000+ and K8NSC-939 (NF3).

I've taken these sticks as high as ~242, BUT this is with 3.54V!!! I need just over 3.4V for 240Mhz alone. And similarly, barely get over 220Mhz stable with 3.0V. I'm usin gOCZ DDR Booster BTW.
timings (A64teak format)
2-8-12-2-2-7-2-2-1-1
200 15.6us
max async = 7
read preamble = 5.5

I've tried adjusting each setting individually in hopes its just one thing holding me back, to no avail.

I've read about a dozen "guides" and tried various suggestions (like yours to increase trc to 12, and trfc to 14), but nothing seems to help. Its very frustrating, because when I boot up Memtest 1.65, test #5 will pass a few times.. even as high as 5 or 6 times, but then the errors start accumulating. I've tried "BURN-IN" this way in several 5-7hr sessions, but error count doesnt go away. Even, when running just 3.0V and two big badass fans blowing on the DIMMs.

any suggestions?

As usual, my luck with OCZ products has gone down drain ever since my 1st pair of 2 x 256MB PC3700 Gold...

My set of PC3200 GOLD doesn't OC worth a damn anymore...

Matter of fact, they don't run said timing at said voltages on my MSI K8N Neo2 Plat..

They've been tried on a DFI Expert & could only manage 230MHz @ tight timings...

Been relegated to work on an older pos PC I have lying around...

Also, my PowerStream 520w was making funny ticking noises but was working well... I sent it off for RA & both supplier & distributor told me to just get my refund (although product was over 3months old) & not bother with OCZ PSU anymore... Took their advice & have gottten myself a Thermaltake 680w monster... Working fine, only thing I don't like bout the TT 680w PurePower is that it don't have a breakable 24pin ATX connector...

Just my 2 cents worth about my OCZ PC3200 "Gold"... & OCZ product in general...

When the distributor says it's not worth it, there must be sumthing wrong with product to start off with imho...

Same thing was said about the VX4000 I bought & got RAed for these PC3200 GOLD's...

I think I might just stay away from OCZ products (although there support is best in class) unless it's been tried & tested before it lands in my hands..

phew, long post

sorry to here Minh, you don't sem to have much luck at all with memory :(

what cpu and bios you used for dfi expert and pc3200 golds ? there's a heap of drive/drive data strengths AFAIK to try out to get ram stable

Woah, MinnyBoy... thats some harsh words about OCZ.

In a land far far away, I had a 512MB OCZ PC3500 EL Gold stick (this is the oldschool BH5 time). It was nice and cozy in my NF2 8RDA system, but I was always stunned how all the people with Abit NF2 had systems running with 250fsb/250mem. I could barely get the OCZ past 210-215. I tried virtually all the mobo combinations.. no go. Then it hit me.. the Vchipset! I did the chipset voltage mod, stuck an Athlon heatsink badboy on that chipset, and boom I was at 230 already.. hadn't even done any memory voltage mods even! But, I was still unsatisfied. I went through many many sticks of memory, until I came across a Corsair XMS3500CP2.. oh yeah.. now I got 231!! 1Mhz higher woohooo -_-

Now that I am older and wiser, I wish I hadn't sold/brocken those DIMMs of the past. They were pushing 230Mhz with 2.9V on a NF2 system. With 3.0V and "new BH5" on Athlon64 (arguably the best memory controller), I'm struggling to get past 220Mhz.

Moral: Your memory might be amazing.. it could be something else. A lot of it is also luck of the draw... not everybody wins the lottery, and those who dont, dont go around posting everywhere, so the "average" is considerably lower than what you probably expect. Also, you don't realize how good you had it until you have it worse.

Now swapping back over to 2x 512MB OCZ PC3200 Gold UTT BH-5 and seems it does better with this Opteron 146 cpu instead of 260mhz 2-2-2-5 at 3.56v it's handling same speeds at 3.48v so far :)

Pretty fast too
