First Look: Teamgroup 2x512MB PC4000 BH-5

Well, it seems as if I wasn't using enough Vcore on my cpu. I threw in another 0512 (thx FCG) and found that it took a lot more vcore to be running these HTT's stable. I've got a couple more results, but I really don't think I want to push the Vmem any further since it IS, of course, UTT :p:

DDR550, 3.7+.03Vmem, Spi8m

For the life of me, I couldn't get 32m to even come CLOSE to completing. It probably has a little to do with the fact that I REFUSE to run sloppy timings. Basically, this is about as loose as you'll ever see me run LL memory:

DDR560, 3.8Vmem, Spi1m

Here's the obligatory screenie @ 3.8Vmem :p: :

This just about wraps up my preview of these sticks. I may try a few more runs when I get a very special cpu in on Tuesday or so. But all in all, these sticks performed better than I could have possibly imagined. Although they may be a couple of weeks away from release, they definately seem to be worth the wait......

What's the status on your order?

Very nice memory stephen, wouldn't mind having a set like that. ;)

that's good RAM steven

Thx guys....the memory's capable of benching even higher, but I'm not gonna try any more voltage, at least for the time being....;)

would the memory controller perform any different under different cooling.....if all stable...............................hmmm let me rephrase that.......could you repeat those results (RAM MHz) on air with lower multiplier of course

If anything, the memory controller would perform better on air @ a lower multiplier ;)

Another board and FX57 since I generally don't like to run on air with my mobo fully insulated :p: I may pull the expert out and test to see if it's "healed" itself, also - I've got to test a board I'm sending Ozzimark - so maybe.........

:clap: Good job, hope the ones I get can do as good. Were they getting very hot at 3.8? What active cooling were you using on them?

TMF, I am going to call them tomorrow and see if they know anymore.

Thanks for sharing your results, Steven :toast: Looks good :up:

Running a Sanyo Denkei 120x38mm fan on top of them. Basically, the ram @ 3.8 was barely warm to the touch. It may have a little to do with my autocascade, but generally speaking, these sticks were running cooler than my Twinmos Old Bh5's @ 3.7V....

Were the sticks burnt in, or were these straight out? I think that there is definetly enough left to get 285 benchable.

They came only tested for binning purposes.....

Seems like good ram..... now.... try 4x 512M sticks and let us know :fact:

Hmmm...haven't really thought about trying this...maybe I will. Well, I'm pretty confident when I say that 4x512 won't do 280 2-2-2-5 1t :p:

So when do these hit U.S. e-tailers? I NEED ram as I sold my crappy geil and need a new set of good ram. Quick question, Would you go for a set of these or a set of old school lvl 2 blacks? I never had a chance to run the old bh-5 so im not sure how they compare, but I know they sell for a crap load.

thanks

It all depends - IMO, PROVEN old school, high-clocking lvl2 blacks are almost priceless. But these sticks seem to be a nice buy. Ultimately it's a decision to be made by the buyer ;)

@ Desert Shooter: Nice Results! Now please tell everyone now that my results weren't from "cherry-picked" sticks :D

@DesertShooter
Please post A64 Tweaker screen.
Very nice results indeed.
Dram Cooling?
Opened case?

120MM fan, opened case, but it doesn't help much. It's just blowing hot air to the ram :p:

i still cant get any of these, any news steven?? i got harry on msn but havent got any news from him either

The TeamGroup sales office in Cali says they will have some to ship by the end of next week. Shipping is free, so $177 total for the kit.
