possibly some good news. the red pcb appears to be B6U815 which is brainpower pcb! that mushkin blue used B6U808 pcb in some occasions, so this may be a very good thing. i will show some results this evening

wow got some news. turns out that the BU6815 pcb is the same as the mushkin XP4000 uses!
i threw the new sticks in today....hehe
2.85v, all dfi settings on auto (loaded optimised) and i hit 250mhz NO PROBLEMS! 2.5-3-2-6 too!!!! with tuning, im sure i can hit 255-260 with these be-5 chips!!!!
im happy!
So...Why would ther be infineon and BE-5 on red pcb by the same company and from the same distributer :confused: Someone get to the bottom of this :stick:
I think there was a small batch of infineon chips on red pcb (many probably have them and don't even realize it) at newegg and Gaspar got lucky. I mean he got 2, the rest of us can't get one. Question is, why did Patriot change over to BE-5, was it cost or was it performance...We shall see.
Wile everyone is removing the heatspreaders, can anyone give me some tips as I will be checking mine :rolleyes:
2.85 voltage seems high, wasn't Gaspar getting those results with 2.6 or something? I don't care about giving my ram the volts...It's the heat I worry about after 3+ hours of BF2 :eek:
However I think I will be able to run 230 fsb@2.5-3-3-6 :woot: Something the OCZ 2-3-2-5 platinums could not :rolleyes:
put some good ram heatsinks and a fan over that... should keep them cool enough...
i think you are i alittle confused. the BE-5 is an infineon part as is the CE-6. just a different line. They always had the BE-5 on the generic green pcb, i guess they expirimented with CE-6 a bit though. from my guess, finding ce-6 will NOT be easy and probly not worth it. Gaspar imo got EXTREMELY lucky. if all ce-6 could do that, wouldnt mushkin, corsair, pdp, and the rest use it?Quote:

the red pcb is brainpower pcb i believe and i would guess all you will see is the new batch of be-5 (which is doing pretty good).
as for the voltage, 2.85v is about average conpared to the 2x1gb database. i hadnt messed with voltage at all. these stay cool at 2.85v, i run 2 fans over them anyways. anything <3v is safe imo.
im about to head out for a couple hours now, but ill do some testing later tonight and post some results. with tweaking im sure i can get atleast 255 mhz! i mean, i hadnt set anything but the 4 main timings and these did 250mhz like it was a joke!
i will let you all know!
to remove the heatspreaders, usea small flat screwdriver and pop the clips off. be careful not to hit the screwdriver on the pcb or chips. i took a chunk off of the chip one time by going too deap :eek: (still worked thank god)....then i just use my finger nails to pull the heatspreaders away from the pcb at the pin side of the module. very easy.
good luck
Well good news it sounds like.. Maybe these BE-5's will be real good. Glad you got some that overclock well. And yes I did use 2.6v up to 540, then 2.8v to 560, havent treid anyhigher though.
Thanx for clearing that up :) What voltage do they run stock?Quote:

Are the heat spreaders 'glued' on :confused:
With my luck I will get one red BE-5 and one red CE-6 :eek:
stock is 2.5v....now that i am home for the night i will do a bunch more testing. i actually was probly hurting myself by putting 2.85v...have to seeQuote:

Edit: good news ppl I was able to get the good stick up to 245mhz with 2.5-3-2-7 and 2.8volts (11x245 is my cpu limit). I should RMA the bad stick I guess.
I lucked out then at 2.8 volts I managed to get to 264 with 3-3-3-7 1T...
luck of the draw I guess...
Awesome work fellas, Ima order mine tomorrow night and hopefully will get the same red pcbs you guys have gotten, ima send back my OCZ goldies and order these babies..
whats best timings anyoe has gotten with these at 250 which is where ill run my cpu 1:1 X12 with the newark :P
250 seem to be the sweet spot for mine. i hit it with 2.5-3-2-5 easily....use the lowest voltage possible.Quote:

tnx for the hint. I lowered the voltage and it's still working at 245 with 2.5-3-2-5 timings, but I got a nasty error at 250.
WOW, for 1gb stix selling for 130.00, these are by far the best ones going :cool:
Anyone have a max overclock with them?
SO are these BE-5 modules?? SO curiose as of today IM still the only one with these bad boys
yes be-5 on red pcbQuote:

aim for 300mhz
stealth17, you have a PM.
FedEx just dropped of the ram, they are red pcbs :D Now I have to get enough nerve to rip the spreaders off :p:
hmm any suggestions? as soon as i hit cas 3 it brings up thousands of errors. ive been tweaking and burning in for a hours now. cant even hit 255mhz stable. i got it memtest stable but it crashes in windows (surprise surprise)...Quote:

You hit your ceiling....
cas 3 didn't help me neither. I hit 245mhz max with 2.5-3-2-5.
I think that is a cpu limitation not memory...
No I used lower multipliers. I might be my motherboard, but with dividers I can boot at 300HTT.
Stealth, check each stick separately see how far can you push each one.
get a msi or a dfi.. then you will know it isn't the board...
