where did you find this pic ? 10x
updated again.
Is the OCZ 3200 EL Platinum Rev 1 (as in non-rev 2) using TCCD as well?
Apacer Taiwan send me two pair of this ram (256x2 & 512x2) :D
Anybody ??Quote:

nope perkam...
Awww man, darn it
Thanks TEDY for answering, and I guess breaking my bubble as well.
MY problem is this: I cant seem to afford 2x512 mb of ocz 3200 plat rev 2 and wanted to opt for either a stick of 512 or 256x2 of the same ram BUT CANT FIND ANY where i live (Toronto)
Whats the next best ram after ocz plat rev 2 for 939 so that i can get a 512 version of it?
PQI 2*256 around 130$ us...newegg/excaliberpc.....
Hello all
I'm trying to identify if the following TCCD modules uses BrainPower PCBs, please confirm the PCB type if you are sure or own these modules
1. GEIL PC3200 ULTRA X link

2. PATRIOT PC3200+XBL (no pic, someone have any links?)
3. ADATA PC4800 VITESTA

4. OCZ PC3700 PLATINUM (no pic, someone have any links?)
To re-cap, here's a review on the types of PCB used on TCCDs and how to identify them.
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/r...53/compare.jpg
SIDE A : BrainPower PCB (Top module) vs JEDEC reference design (Bottom module)
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/53/sideb.jpg
SIDE B : BrainPower PCB (Middle module) vs JEDEC reference design (Bottom module) vs CorsairXL Pro PCB modified from JEDEC reference (Top module)
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/r.../53/height.jpg
JEDEC reference PCB (LEFT) vs BrainPower PCB (RIGHT)
From the pics, BrainPower PCBs seems to be :
1. "empty" at the middle of the PCB
2. less trace route between chips and power leads (the "gold fingers") on SIDE B
3. shorter height
Also, there are 2 types of BrainPower PCBs :
1. B6U808
2. B6U815
#1. B6U808 seems to be better as reported here

Corsair XL seems to adopt PowerBrain PCBs recently but no one knows how to identify them from the old PCB. I hope we can confirm the PCB used and there will be more choices to shortlist.
EDIT : I wonder if it is the PCB that optimizes overclocking? Does BrainPower PCBs perform better on other type of memory chips for that same group? AnandTech seems to have an article on memory PCBs, can't seem to find it anymore.

This is a link to what newegg has on their site for the patriot sticks. I can't tel which one it uses from the picture though. Maybe someone else will notice a small detail.
Actually, in the top right corner it looks like that is a brainpower pcb. I hope so at least.
Thanks for the links. I've googled for the pics but no pics can confirm positively the type of PCB. We have to check SIDE B or the underside of the module, at least look for B6U808/B6U815. Best is to remove heatspreader. Any owners of the above mentioned (4 brands) here in the forums?
My OCZ PC-4200 Performance Series 3-4-4-8 (Hynix) uses BrainPower PCB B6U808. You can see the numbers even with the heat-spreader on.

Possible Samsung TCCC Memory
Adata PC4000 (can be Hynix D43, D5)
Does that mean it can be either one of them ? i just bought a set of those and i doent really want to void warranty by removing the HS, but it would be nice to know which it is since im looking into getting socket 939, to be specific i was thinking bout getting AV8 but that apparently doesnt like TCCD...so any info that can enlighten me will be appreciated :)
If it'll run 2-2-2-5 at 200MHz with 2.6V then it's TCCD. If it will only run 2.5-3-3-8 at 200MHz with 2.6V it's TCCC. Not sure about that Hynix stuff.
ahh thx mcnbns i'll test that when my new gfx arrives so i an get that rig running again.....will ofc post the result her ;)
wolf did you get PDP yet ?
Not Yet :(. SHould be here tomorrow I guess. I got it shipped fedex express saver.
The PQI Turbo should OC better than the Patriot as it uses the BrainPower PCB right ?
yep.
yes in theory.Quote:

I'll post the pcb on the patriot and should have some results how they do today also.
Patriot only hits 245fsb in that above link:

Looks like it may be shorter than the Kingston though, which does not use BP:

pokipoki, why don't you post who is using what right now? It looks like A-Data & Geil also use the BP PCBs(?)
Wicked that patriot link is the older sticks using Mosel. I'm talking about the xbl stick here using tccd.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mem...patriot_7.html
Yes it looks like adata and geil def use the bp pcb.
