First Look: Teamgroup 2x512MB PC4000 BH-5

GHZ i've got the same sticks, same week. Tell me how yours do, i'm having a bit of trouble with mine over 250mhz or so; they need 3.35v to do it, that's a bit high imho. And with loose timings as well. I'm doing a bit of burnin' at the moment. But they can do 240mhz with about 3.1v or so. Ridiculous jump.

figure out the problem first dude;)

don't copy michael's over-voltage type,
\that's just kill your PSU, ram and cpu gradually
you guys can never trust , but whenever all your components die
just don't cry for hunger.:D

I think that are good ram... for bench sure... for daily is only for a crazy man.. i think that the best ram for daily r 2 x 1gb kit... if i can go up i put my core up to 1,7v and Vdimm up to 4v for a good bench.... so burrrn burn baby burn burn!!! :D

Hey Don what do u think about Tentative? :rocker:

rofl
It's good, but i prefer "she's like heroin". However that is so far off topic it is just mental.

G H Z - results?

What kind of volts are you putting thru them at 273? 3.8 or 3.8+?
A SG or MBM5 would have been nice.

also why such a slow time considering the settings/MHz :confused:

Sold one untested and the buyer was not able to overcome 255 and mine were maxed out at 260.............. :stick: , so I think it's like always: U need to have the luck to catch an outstanding pair...........;)

:toast:

One difference I see is yours says 601W at the end of the bar code and
M H Z and my two sets say 606W.

here are mine :

from that setting, I would say there might be 3 settings were not set good,
1. TREF,
2. strength
3. Dynamic counter

Plus, his are the PC3200's ;) The numbers your referring to are the production weeks of the BH5 IC's on your sticks.....results pleez :toast:

losing over a minute in 32M over these settings alone.........i don't know...doesn' t seem likely to me

I wasn't going to post any results until I really worked on them this weekend. Let me say I am not that great with BH-5 and like TCCD better. Also, I sold all the good sc optys I had and am testing with a dc 170 which makes it harder.

I only worked with them a couple of hours and the first thing is it takes
3.3v to do 250 on both sets. The ones I got can not do on 3.2v what the thread starter's ram can do on 3.2v. Errors in test 5 at 3.2v@250. The next thing I found in this short time is they take more volts then Stevens. I think they will be very good with a good cpu and a better tweaker then myself and I am still going to try and post some better ss then this first one I'm posting now. I had two 120 fans on them and to the touch they were just barely warm.

I already said I wasn't any good, so be kind to me.:D

Edit: look at the SPD when they were made. Week 06 Year 06, hot off the press.

Heya Dogs,
Not bad, but there can be a few improvements on those timings ;) But before I get to that, I have to remind everyone that these sticks are RATED @ 250 , 3.3V. Your sticks meet that criteria (and that isn't even a bad thing - many sticks of even the best memory can't do that speed @ that voltage). I suggest you DL A64 tweaker .6 as the version you're currently using offers some setting which can really screw with your performance if set wrong. Your TRFC should be able to be tightened to 13 and your TRTW ->2. I know that Opties seem to have issues with MAL and RP but is it possible for you to run 9/6 as opposed to 8/6.5? You should see some performance gain there. Try those settings first and if they work well for you, let us know....but that's a nice speed on the memory for 32m stable :toast:

Where does it say 3.3v? It's not on the sticks and not on their web site. Do you have a link? The RP is set to 6 in the bios but tweaker shows it as 6.5 with this ram, which is right? I forgot to set the TRTW and I know it will do 13 TRFC.

Put it back in last night and corrupted windows trying a high oc. Am trying to repair and it gets to reg hardware,13minutes left and hangs. Four times I have restarted it and it just hangs at the same spot.:mad: :(

Is that with the BIOS set to optimised defaults? Or overclocked..

It's been awhile since I have corruped windows and I always just set it ot 200MHz. After you posted this, I set it to optimised defaults and still the same thing, registering components@13 minutes quits loading. It still has the green squares flashing and changes windows info but doesn't load.

One of my 0606W has just died as well, reckon it might be a bad batch? Try both sticks seperately, see if that helps.

Ummm, all I know is that I was told that they would be rated at 3.3V. I'm pretty sure I made it quite obvious in this thread's initial post. FYI, you should ALWAYS leave MAL and RP on auto and then once you enter Windows, use A64 tweaker to change the settings if necessary. Also, MAL and RP are settings which are dictated by your cpu's memory controller more than the actual RAM itself. Also, have you tried switching the sticks around? What exactly happened to cause the "corruption"? How fast were you attempting and what were the timings on the memory? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from the tone of your post, it seems as if you're angry that these sticks haven't performed as you expected? TBH, a 267mhz 32m run is quite impressive for BH5's - new and old........

Wait a second, the only thing I'm angry about is windows went south and the hd I had ghost on, I just used for another computer. I'm not angry about the memory. I do feel that the rated volts should be on the sticks or their web site. The first thing I do with memory is try each stick and put the weakest in the slot closest to the cpu. I then even switch them just to make sure. I never said that the corruption was the fault of the memory itself.

I guess it is easier to just do things and keep them to ones self then to post what happened and be open to being accused of being angry.

Sorry buddy
that's because they are in hurry due to too much pals email and phone them

If that 's not rated on 3.3v then what do you expect? 3.2v? 3.1v?:D just kidding:P:
I will suggest teamgroup put on the website and say 3.35v~3.45v ;)


**what 's your Strength setting under bios?

** you 're not bad at all, cuz you use 1:1; some use divider and blame MAL and RP to loose,
I don't know if they really understand what they are doing.

:up: sounds good to me :D

dogsx2 be careful mate, low vcore + high vdimm can kill your memory controller on your cpu...
