And I had to look the part number againg, because there were no WINBOND dips on teh chips like the Twinmos SP. Are these still UTT?
Also, the default timing is like 3-4-4-8. Is that right?
I'll give you more info as i progress.
FYI - runnign Intel AS8
They did that to me too. I just got mine today.Quote:

I post back on how it goes.
What are teh chanes that these vdata are UTT? They are pretty cheap.Quote:

The BP pcb makes for higher running ch-5 then is the norm, at least in my meager system. i was lucky and get 2-2-2-5-7-15-1 all the way up to 260, but 3.4-3.6v. The UTT should do that with less, IMHO. I have a pair that are only good for 2.5-2-2-5-7-15-1 too. They are not dualchannel packs either. Sinlge, loose, cheap OEM bargain bin mem...from like 1999-2000. They are pushing old stock out here in EDM....the 3400+ i got 3-4 weeks ago was cbazc 0435, and there were at least 15-20 other chips with similar steeping and dates, from 3000+ up. THey didn't even have 939 winchesters @ 3000+ yet. :stick:Quote:

It seems as though these are the untested A-data vitesta pc4000-pc4400 chips. A-data/v-data are one and the same.
What number is on them?Quote:

Cada,
I will try to pick up a few of those sticks. I need basic 512MB stics, so if they work out for the better, I am good :) They are just so cheap.
Ashe,
The number on the sticker - ocz4001024wv3dc-k As for the marking on the chips, it is completely bare. Only a single dimple at the bottom corner.
Well.. I know its value and 3-4-4-8, but to get 2-2-2-5 is VERY NICE :)
So far my testing.. I have one stick running at 230 @ 2-2-2 w/ 3.2v. I think the 2nd stick is hosed. I was getting errors on test 1 @ all default / no OC.
I'm in teh process of testing each stick right now to confirm.

I paid 150CAD, so went back when the first pair worked out and bought a few more pairs. Dude at the store knows i overclock everything..and when i got them he said to me "are you gonna run then @ 2?" I HAD to try...he slips me some nice stuff every once in a while. (they have some other cheap ram that might be untested hynix 2-2-2-5, gonna try a few sticks this weekend, after i check out the stepping).

Got my 2x512 of Value VX on my Intel AS8
1st Stick does - 235 @ 2-2-2-5 w/ 3.2 Volts havne' t tried booster yet
2nd Stick is Bad - At all stock settings 3-4-4-8, errors the moment Memtest starts on #1.
I have to RMA the stick. When you RMA dual channels, do you have to send in both sticks?
SAD
SAD ,
Did you try the same memory slot with both units ?
If its just failing everything , it might have been static damaged , or there could be a problem with the slot you have it in

It's hard to make any judgements on what is availabe from newegg. I do not buy from them, so there is no way for me to see part numbers, etc. I only buy parts when i can see them ( at least memory and cpu's!)
The value VX should be a bit safer for results... considering what ryanp says. you've got this info from the namufacurer themselves, and I'm just a user, right?
Just use your best judgement. Nothing is ever guaranteed...but the valueVX seems almost that way. The whole reason for me posting was just really to show that just because memory is cheap does not mean it will not perform.
OCZ gives a better warranty, and service. The v-data..should anything go wrong... I don't know what i would do...LoL.
Up here in Canada, this v-data gives me almost similar result as this valueVX. i cannot get the right VX here, so i have to make do with what i can get. You have more options...
I got some duds :down:
Guess that's the chance you take with overclocking. They won't even do 240 with 3.6v
Guess i'll hang onto these for a later build, they aren't gonna do me any good.
So what can they do @3.3V? 230 2-2-2 for 150$ iwouldn`t be too bad i think ;)Quote:

I did test it on all 4 slots in by itself. So I know its not the slots. Since the other mems I had performed just fine.
The one stick that I do have is running VERY nicely :) Can't wait to do it in dual chan.
SAD
you can rma just one stick if you are satisfied with the performance of that other good stick
"dual channel kit" is just markgeting hype unless they are tested, in this case which they arent
update on my situation:
before:
3.1v - no post
3.2v - 240 something, i forget and havent gone this low since initial trial
3.3v - 245 failed? i forget either it passed or failed at that voltage
3.4v - 250 stable
3.5v - 255 fails with like...600-1000 errors on the first pass of memtest # 5
now:
3.5v - 255 fails with only 2 or 4 errors after every 3 to 5 passes
3.6v - previously untested cuz i dont want to go this high, but now testing with over ten passes of memtest #5 at 255
just want to test at 3.6, definitely wont run at that voltage. 260 has 90,000 errors at 3.6v...lol
I had like 10000000 errors at only 240, you got a pretty nice set.
guys, have you thought about trying 2-3-2 and seeing what speed you get from this value VX, its not much slower(although 2-2-2 is nice) but it may gain you some extra MHZ on the cpu.
Mine wouldnt pass MemTest at 200 6-2-2-2 2.85v but i only tried them for about 20 minutes.
thats out of spec thats why, even for vxQuote:

does most VX do 2-2-2 at 2.85v?Quote:

2.85v is not enough for 2-2-2 timings... even in Anandtech's review of PC4000 VX they mentioned 3.0v was bout the norm for getting 2-2-2 timings on UTTQuote:

Anyway, it's rare that you'll stumble across a set of VX that'll run 2-2-2 timings with only 2.8V to 2.9V. However, I was able to pull it off for 20 loops of Memtest the first night I had the RAM. This doesn't mean anything but I just wanted to put the word out there that some sets may be able to do it.
yah there are always "golden" sticks or CPUs. I'm just hoping to get the 240s at 3.3 or less on my board with a gig. Anything else is gravy. I may be selling one of my two infinitys and getting a DFI ut250, them I'll pobably use these in there and see what the extra voltage can do. But til then, unless I get around to modding my Southbridge 240 is all I can do without dropping sound/usb. Except for changing my APCI setting under my hardware manager and that fuggers Doom3 for some reason.
