i really doubt its the memory dude, like i wroe earlier in this thread, if 2.5-3-3 gives you more than a 5mhz boost over 2-2-2 its most likely the chipset that cant run 2-2-2 at the high speed and not the memory. bh5 doesnt gain a lot of speed from going from 2-2-2 to 2.5-3-3, on some sticks i had the difference was 1mhz.
might see if I can try them in a intel systemQuote:

on my system works only like 215-220 2-2-2-5 stable with VDimm 2.9-3.2v now (my firend made me VDD/VDIMM/VTT mod today) , and while other friend with same ram got 240 on DFI !!!
system in my sig...
what am i doing wrong ?
What board are you using?Quote:

have you reached a higher fsb than 220 stable in 1:1 with other memory?
well i checked out my mushkin pc3200level2's today. but i found something very wierd. on the front of each module there is 314we, but on the back there is 313we. whats up with that? why would mushkin use different bh-5 on the same sticks? these are supposed to be a dual channel kit. i'd post pics but i need batteries for my digi cam(damn things bleeds em dry.) anyways i dont know how your going to incorporate this into your list. maybe as some kind of hybred mutant bh-5? :p: anyways i can run 11-2-2-2-2.0-2-3-3-3-3-3-4-e-e-f-e dual channel at 260fsb with 3.34vdimm(measured from mosfet). but wierd thing is i can only boot at these timmings and fsb with bios caching enabled, even though when its disable i get bsod that says disable it. oh well. anyways my board is a china infinity and a mobile 2600.
and like you said saaya, when i disable cpc or loosen the mem timmings, or switch to dual channel i can run quite a bit higher fsb. so it might be nb issue? my nb is watercooled and i run 1.9vdd, and ive tried all the vagp too it case it has a quirk with vagp and the nb like some other mobos. and im using hell fires 3eg rev3 bios.
yes with some value transcend 2.5-3-3-11 not 2-2-2-5 tho...i got 230, even booted and made few benchies 240 3-3-3-11Quote:

0_o bh5 doesnt run with cas3...Quote:

nope 260 not stable. but i think its a dfi nb problem. anything over 240 and i get crashes back to desktop in 3d and when i change timmings i can get higher stable. same happened with my mushkin bh-6.

But it did not only affect 3DMark, Prime was unstable too.

i meant transcend as not BH-5 ram hehe...
This is my 512mb stick:

342WF as you see.

This is max with 3,4v, she's a bit of a bad clocker, but then again, she is a 512 stick.
adata 3200 right?Quote:

It sure is :DQuote:

hmmm hard to say... 512mb sticks have double the amount of chips, and the stick only clocks as high as its slowst worst ocing chip will oc (weakest link in the chain), so the chance to have a bad chip on a 512mb sticks that holds you back is much bigger on a 512mb stick than on a 256mb stick...
so you can have a 512mb stick that clocks just as well as a 256mb stick... but in general they clock 5-10mhz worse i think.
I to have bh5 sticks,but with heatspreaders on so a can't see what the numbers are,is it possible that a prog can see it.
The now run @ 246x10 @ 3.0v prime stable,is that good or normal for those sticks,the have run @ 255x10 @ 3.1v but not prime stable yet;),pifast was good as you can see overhere ,on 2500mhz i run superpi at 36sec .
Is that an ok score,its my first one with my new a64 3200+,and if you have any tips that woot by nice,a can use the :help: .

but update on my board, its sold! :p: i traded it, a 2600xpm and 2x256mb of my mushkin bh-5 for a gig of mushkin bh-5 with all 314e chips plus 15$. now i need to get a dfi UT and a a64 chip, and a new a64 waterblock.
Ure timings now are 2.5-3-3-10 , u must set them @ 2-2-2-5 for the best performance , u may need some more vdimm ;)Quote:

Will do some more testing,and those heatspreaders are coming off saaya,be sure of that :p: ,you calling me a chicken :stick: wait and see,sweet sweet revenge ;) :lol: .
