so it sounds like this stuff clocks the same as bh5 aroudn 3.3-3.4, but this stuff cant scale with 3.8v+ like bh5 can. so i guess the main advantage to this is that u can actually buy this retail.

still... id rather have bh5 any day

That and VX can be done in 2x512mb at those speeds where you have to run BH-5 at 2x256mb. VX is like the gamer's version of BH-5, for those that can't run as little as 512mb.

So this VX is some real good ram, hugh guy's! :toast: :banana4:

Good to see you got a great modules

I doubt your prime stable at the oc though... Try it, id be interested to know

I actually think that these chips are BH-6

I hope not. That means I have now have two pairs of sticks with the same chips.

They are not winbond chips.

Winbond chips do not do CAS 3.

Even with that dubious voltage I got a higher screeny than that... I will post it in the nex day or two ;)

but is it stable like this is?

regardless though this ocz memory seems awesome, like bh-5 reincarnated LOL

now if only mushkin would start using these chips.....

That's not completely correct. I had some CH-6 RAM here some month ago and that stick did CL3 without problems. And lots of rebaged Winbond Chips do CL3. IMHO, that's just a matter of SPD programming.

You sure it wasnt the motherboard bios and not the SPD?

I havent seen a lot of CH-6 sticks or seen results of them, so by winbond I mean the bh-5/6 and ch-5 chips which are much more abundant..

my thoughts exactly dude.
bet this gets a few responses... what are the chances OCZ did get their hands on some Winbond fab fascilities and are producing the BH4 that never made it to market?

would anybody happen to know already if the ocz voltage boosters work with nforce 4 boards by now?

We will know shortly I suppose. I don't think the boards have been flying in the door over there. I know they have tested reference boards.

I'll bug the guys and push them to find out more.

I'll bet the DFI will work with it though. That should be out soon. :)

BH-5 can also du these speeds with 2x512mb

Nice, but where can they buy BH5? ;)

i'll probably be buying the DFI sli board when it comes out. so i do hope it will work, or maybe they will have a bios that has those high voltages and then you can just overvolt the 3.3line. can't wait to buy this stuff :)

@Blander......those superpi times seem very slow. With 250x9 1:1 I get 37 seconds. Try setting SuperPI to realtime priority through your task manager and see what the time is.

There's plenty of it floating around...especially now with hype about TCCD and VX :D Check ebay and the boards. And it's at bargain prices now.

it wasn't optimized, just a little stability test

He is running single channel and you're running dual channel...

90nm A64 Winnies Failing Prime95 at 200mhz HTT

I just wanted to make sure that we all are up on the subject of some A64 90nm CPU's earlier than week 41 failing Prime95.

The Official thread is here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums...1962#post631962

I won't go into details here, but please if you are using Prime95 to test while running an A64 Winchester 90nm take a minute to read this. Many CPU's fail at stock settings. Always test at BIOS defaults for 7+ hours before using Prime95.

Thanks

Yeah I don't even bother with prime anymore. It has too many problems. Anyway I have a week 37 cpu. I did attach though a prime screenie I ran for a 1/2 hour.

Orker, the 260x10 was memtest stable all night. Plus I can run 3DMark, and was playing HL2 for a few hours at this setting. If that is not stable, I am not sure what is.

How much VDimm did 260 take LikwidKool?

Would you mind testing how far your modules will go MemTest stable with 3.2v, 3.3v, 3.4v... up to the setting you run please?

I'm limited to 3.3v at the moment but am considering swapping my PSU for a PowerStream if I see they scale much past 3.3v...

thanks if you can, no worries if you cant :toast:

How many Volts?

I did 260 with 3.4

If I have time tonight I will try and get you the info. It shouldn't be to tough. I want to try and get higher than 260 anyway and see if higher voltage will net me any gain. 3.4v was the first voltage I set and then tried my max with it.
