Saying your PDP has the 815 PCB? :confused:

It could just be your stix. That's still a nice max OC. :toast:

First, as a newbie, thanks for everyone posting their experiences.

I went with Patriot xbl versus the PQI because the PQI technicians (via emails) told me that they could not guarantee TCCD on ANY of their modules.

I suspect that in certain PQI models you will get TCCD-but their party line is they will not guarantee it.

if you look at newegg and a couple other sites, im pretty sure the modules listed as 2-2-2-5 timings are tccd

I thought the same thing and specifically asked the support contact if any model ending in DPU (2-2-2-5) would be TCCD. Their reply was rather "canned" that they have no way of knowing or guaranteeing TCCD chips as they buy chips from several manufactures. I agree that they most likely will be TCCD.

Forget about even trying to get a response from Patriot-their website seems to have some serious issues sending messages. I made my decision based on Wolf's purchase in which he confirmed Brain Power and TCCD.

PQI just scared me off with their blanket statement that there is no way of knowing what chips could be used.

Thanks Tedy, I think your are teaching me that any pc3200 rated 2-2-2-5 has to be TCCD?

I am not suggesting that PQI is out to rip anybody off. I am just relaying the response I got from them that they use chips from many manufacturers and were either unwilling or unable to confirm that any model ending in DPU was in fact Samsung TCCD.

Perhaps I should have asked them if all there 2-2-2-5 PC3200 (both DPU and DBU) rated product uses Samsung TCCD.

Do you think buying the Patriot XBL was a mistake?

Well PDP is out of stock, so that should make things easier! Shoot.

For an NFII, I would consider going with some cheap BH-5, it's the best stuff there is for that board. 2.5-3-3-x is good for 275+fsb, but you'd be better off with tighter timings on the DFI.

Btw, dav has a great list over @ EOCF with the latest TCCD listings. You guys should check it out: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...9&page=1&pp=20

That's a good point TEDY, this thread tells us which ram has samsung tccds but then only a handful are capable of 500 DDR let alone a speed of 550?

I guess then all rams that CAN go 550 ON AN AMD platform, should be noted in the listing (as going 600 on an intel platform with those rams is a given, prolly).

TCCD doesnt mean anything though, I have a year old stick of TCCD KHX3700 that will not post under cas 3 at any speed or voltage. TCCD isnt like BH-5, it makes an incredible difference when it was made.

Well, other than the PCB, there are also different revisions of the chips. If you look @ the GSkill on digi4me, there are A-F revisions. (E are priced the highest)

It would help if everyone posting overclocks could list which revision they have. Pull up a corner of the heatspreader.

You know what really makes no sense, is if you look @ digi4me, the GSkill 2*256MB TCCD-F vs 2*512MB TCCD-F have different latency ratings! What the heck is going on with that?

i dont get this :

Model#: PQI3200-1024DBU 243$
Model#: PQI3200-1024DPU 256$ now...jumped from 248$

any particular difference ?

One is their "Platinum" chip, different heatspreaders. The platinum probably uses a different chip revision that I talked about above(?) E-mail PQI, see what they say. I'm interested too.

Admit it, you just want the fancy heat speaders, don't you? ;)
