well.. they are untested and unbinned after all..
So I can't get post with these sticks at cas 2 with up to 3.4v :confused:
This is in an intel box mind you but my Mushkin blue works. I do think My blues are BH- though.
Any suggestions. Do you think they will work on my DFI NF4?
i reckon they should work fine.. but nothing beats trying it urself..
i used mine on the dfi nf4 right? :)
just stuck them in, and they cant touch 238mhz 2.5-2-2-11 =/
burning in should help, hopefully...
ok, this is whacked.... since the 3-4-4-8 was CH-5 modules, and 2.5-4-4-8 was BH-5
i just checked CPU-Z and its speed timmings say 2.5-4-4-8, so im guessing my chips are BH-5?
any way to tell w/o testing them?
EDIT :: i tried the whole BH (characteristics) of refusing to post at CL3, and it wouldnt post at CL3, i also checked CPU-Z and it said that the default timmings for my sticks are 2.5-4-4-8, which is the BH based Value Ram
With which voltage man?Quote:

i tried 2.9vdimm at the 238mhz 2.5-2-2-11 and it would get into windows and about the time everything was loaded, i would get a random reboot.
im guessing a burnin would help alot though, just got the sticks in
EDIT:: forgot... im at 2T, afaik 1T and 2T dosent yeld very drastic differences on a NF2 board, and these boads dosent like dual sided memory, havent tried the 1T bios w/ this memory, cas of 1.5 isnt an option in my bios either, seeing as its a NF2 board
I hate to go off track slightly but I have to ask...Quote:

unless things have changed, its only a characteristic of BH << could be wrong, but havent seen different

i have the DC kit and its marked with the standard lable

the P/N is different than the Value sires...

no 2 big dots in the center of the die, i dont think theyre winbond, is there 2 solder balls on the botton of the chip?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146900 << thats your sticks
slightest chances they are CH, but i dont think theyre that
So they suck! lol
Actually I just got them because they are cheap, 95 bucks after rebate.
you never know till you try... theyre 82.05 +4.33 shippipng on new egg, bottom line price, lole... 82.38 vs 95, lol.... where are you from?

so far, 80mm active cooling
tested
fsb......timmings.....vdimm.....Memtest #5
200.....2-2-2-11.....2.8..........YES
205.....STABLE
210.....STABLE
215.....STABLE.....(vdimm upped to 2.9)

225.....STABLE

233.....UNSTABLE.....34 errors (vdd upped to 1.7v)
232.....UNSTABLE.....8 errors
231.....UNSTABLE.....2 errors (ran 5 loops and no errors on loop 2-5)
currently w/ no burnin (except for testing max speed at max voltage) max stable speeds is 2-2-2-11, 230mhz, 2.96vdimm..... OCZ DDR Booster is in the mail comin to me
headding for atleast a 10 hour burnin at 2.96vdimm 233mhz 2-2-2-5, as reccomended by uwackme's guide (its actually 3.2/3vdimm, but my NF7-S is currently only able to do 2.96vdimm w/ overvolt)
EDIT::
just ran Super PI 1M, im still stuck at 40sec w/ 230x11
sysoft sandra memory bandwidth rang in at 3538/3348 95%/90%
wow very good.
the last burnin at 233mhz 2-2-2-5 @ 2.96 for 4.5 hours, didnt lower the errors i was getting in memtest 5, just got on to post an update, i think im gonna go down to 232/1 for the burnin for the next 5 or 6 hours.
i never thought that the Tras mattered very much on clocks, but going from 11 to 5 made a difference in the errors i received... i think its b/c of how slow the NF2 mem controler is compared to a NF4(A64 on chip), b/c a NF4 can handle a Tras of 5, so if i slowdown the Tras to 11 it will make about all the errors disappear, b/c its not reading it to fast for the memory controler to keep up
not bad for nf2.. not bad at all
should i try burning in at 2-2-2-11 since it is know that a low tras on a NF2 can make the memory not read the entire cell and have to backpedal to get info?
so could some of the errors i get from burning in at 2-2-2-5 be because the memory dosent completely read the cell and memtest86+ just keeps going and dosent finish reading the info in the cell?
im fin @ 230mhz w/ 2-2-2-5 but that is starting to really push the memory controler on these boards, should i burnin at 2-2-2-11
Picked up some of this ram the other day. Bloody bargain i reckon!
I was very disappointed at first... thought i got a dud pair. Stuck them in my machine and it wouldnt even pass memtest @ 200fsb 2-2-2-5 3.2v. Then i updated my bios to the latest official one and... memtest worked!... for a while... and then got errors after about 10 mins... :(. Finally i gave up on it because it was stable in windows anyway (3dmark, superPI etc) so i couldnt of cared less.
Then, today i decided to give memtest a run again and to my surprise... it passed with no errors after 30 mins! After just one two nights of usage, its now memtest stable for 6 hours at 255fsb 2-2-2-5 3.5v!
Great stuff this is, makes me wanna start benching again! :banana:
lol.. give it a good and long burn in.. then u'll be amazed..
thanks for the thread!
I got some 0509 new BH-5 on my TMSP3200 and haven't done any burnin, gives me hope that these sticks will perform better.
Question: Can you run the divider at 5/6 with new bh-5?
babyelf what bios on the ultra-d still bios 331-2? Does the 310 stink?
331-2 bios worked pretty good for my value vx.. but 310 is better for my old bh-5
divider works fine :)
13oost, I have the same pair of ram sticks you got.
on die:
X4W560842C-50
0518K
on ram sticker:
OCZ4001024WV3DC-K
on CPU-Z SPD Timings Table:
2.5
4
4
8
only difference,
mine boots at CL 3. :X
a small but awesome update my ram now r running @ 200fsb @ 2-2-2-7 with ONLY 2.5vdimm :):):):)
Is it possible to run this ram at 300mhz?
