OCZ VX, Best Memory made since BH5!!

I just started playing with my new OCZ VX memory, looks great so far.

This stuff is the memory to replace BH-5,, finnally:D
Made for Overclockers by Overclockers!!

Great job OCZ!! :toast:

I'm makeing a stand alone statement here:D

glad you like it, OPP ;)

i'll be testing one of those kits very soon, maybe this weekend...
hopefully it's really capable and extends BH-5 as i haven't seen ABSOLUTELY stable e.g. 260x10 6-2-2-2.0 1T from any 2x512MB of BH-5 in Dual Channel and AMD platform (NF2 or NF3).

Its very good ram isnt it :)

Best ram ive ever owned

btw can you please answer my questions from before

"Best Memory made since BH5"

so still not as good as BH5 :D

arctan.. the antagonist... lol... I would say that opp endorsing it would increase sales, but the stuff is flying off the shelves so fast i bet ocz's heads are spinning..

i havent seen it scale high like bh5 does tho :(

if it gets 270 2-2-2-5 3d benchable ill jump for it

OPP, what voltage are you using for those VX ?

very nice for 1 GB... :)

What board and voltage please?

Second that. Board and voltage :)

Would like to test those OCZ :slobber:

Great results Opp.

Didn't OCZ buy the rights of winbond to make BH-4? That's what these chips are aren't they?

OCZ is not telling what these chips are, but i don't think these are BH-4, because they aren't as good as BH-5

Respect!

i still havent seen them in aust :(

why is everyone saying these aren't as good as BH-5 ?

It seems like every pair of these are smacking 250 MHz 2-2-2, with a 2x512MB kit no prob.

BH-5 never consistently did that. Espescially with 2x512MB.

Well, I think the 2*512mb pairs of OCZ VX might be better overclockable then the BH-5 pairs of 2*512mb

The difference between OCZ VX and BH-5 is more in the fact that some 256mb BH-5 sticks have done 300mhz 2-2-2-5 and there is no way OCZ VX can beat that.
Maybe the OCZ will clock a bit higher with the new ATI chipset, how knows what will happen?

I'm thinking of buying a 2*512mb pair of OCZ VX for my new system but I'm not really sure if that would help allot sind I allready have some Corsair XMS PRO PC4000 that can do 260mhz at 2.5-3-3-7

Well if my new system wil be an FX-53 or FX-55 I think I might just by a pair of OCZ VX but if my new system is going to be a Pentium-M Dothan I'll stick with my XMS.

The problem these days is if you don't use 1gig and only have 512Mb like BH-5 in most cases, you lose out on performance. The 1gig gives you 2-way interleave, 2 gigs will give you 4-way interleave. This is on S939 motherboards anyway.
So haveing 1 gig or higher is in if you can use aggressive timings,, so now you have VX:D

Any Overclocker should:D
I only played with the stuff for an hour, I think we'll see guys running 3D into the 270s on this mem. I'm sure this will be the next memory we'll see top 3D2001 users useing.

OPP

I can get them for 245 Dollar without shipping, do you guys think thats cheap?
Or do you guys know a store wich sells them for less?

I've never run mem test in my life, no need. If my mem can run 2001 lobby tests I'm a happy camper.

As far as voltage, 3.65V idle, Sandra bench drops it to about 3.45V, 2001 lobby tests drop it around 3.52V.

My next scores should do that,,, if I ever get my new PCI-E mobos and a Graphics Card:D

Thats nothing but good news! :banana4: Its great being able to score massivley in 3dmark with just 512Mb or less but we all know that most current games run pretty bad with anything less than a gig of ram regardless of clock speeds etc. It's good to know that the gap between overclocked gaming rigs and purely overclocking systems is being closed finally. Mind you I bet it's not long before 1 gig isnt enough to game with either :eek:

Are you sick again or something?



-Opp never ran MEMTEST before? Thats a shock..
