What a difference a good PSU makes. My latest sticks of BH Mushkins could only do 225 memtest clean using a 20-pin Enermax 550W (36A on all 3 rails) on my DFI nF4. Then I got in a 24-pin PCP&C 510 EX and now these sticks do 240 memtest clean. WOOT! Hopefully they can improve after more burn-in. The OCZ peeps were right about having a good 24-pin PSU. I'll now have to try out my BH-5 "classics" that would peter out at 235.

Got my sticks to hit 240 clean at 2-2-2-5 using generic timing I gathered from BH5/UTT users. Did a full day and a half of burn-in, it go to a point where errors were happening pretty much always at the same location on the memory which I am not entirely sure why yet. I got both modules seperately and both have a manufacture date of Dec 25, 1999 on B6U815 green PCBs.
Can other people using these sticks post their timings for hitting 250 and above? Much appreciated.
What voltage are you at, and do you have a fan blowing over them? Could be a hot spot creating errors in one location.
seems they clock better with 1.5-2-2-5.... try it!Quote:

3.3v seemed just enough for 240 in memtest, but I let it stay at 3.4v. I have a 92mm fan over the RAM and 60mm over the mosfet. I took the heatspreader off too.
Finally im getting close to the settings i should use... with the 2 dual gig packs, i have gotten both sets to 250+ with 3.35V. Cooled with 80mm fan placed ontop of the mem they dont even get hot.
The problem is that looks like the mem slots 1&3 are working much better than 2&4. And this REALLY sucks since i was hoping to get 2gb 230 2T action going. Gotta test bit more whats the problem... is it the mobo/bios/settings/PSU.
Btw, how do i get that heatspreader off nicely, never taken those off before, so am i supposed to take the 2 U shaped thingys first or what ? Was checking out those spreaders and noticed that it doesnt even connect on all the mem chips so its better to take them off anyways.

Working the clip off is not very easy. You can just use your hands to pry the thermal taped spreaders loose then slowly slide the modules out.
Well, another success story. Still a work in progress though. Currently im running them (on a green pcb by the way) at 230 2-2-2-7 with 3.1V and superpi 4mb (my first stability test) is chugging away.
Another happy camper.
Can't really see anything in those pics. The newer chips Mushkin used are unmarked though. If they have two dimples in the middle and one in the corner they are new BH, only one in the corner is CH.
Remeber to use Macro when you are under 1 meter for pics.
cartmanea... It has a B6U815 on the top corner and also a dimple in the middle... is there suppose to be 2 dimples like 2 seperate dots or 1 dot with 2 dimples? Because currently I have 2 dimples but only 1 dot in the center followed by a dot on the top corner.
Took off 2 heatsinks off [ one pair was in my pc so dont know whats in there yet ].
Twinmos BH-5 on first one and combo of BH-5/CH-5 [ one side filled on one type ] on the other.
Gotta see whats in that other set today.

What? Are they labeled by Twinmos? Why would they buy ICs from a competitor? :hm:Quote:

Ah, im at work so wrote that quite fast. Had a little 'brainfart'... Winbond, not twinmos.Quote:

Took my heatspreaders off and have a nice pair of new BH-5 :toast: now if only I had a motherboard that could supply voltage....
Did you buy 2 separate sticks or a matched pair? The earlier post from Bushkin rep said BH5 guaranteed for the matched pair.Quote:

Going to 3.1 or 3.2v does not help? I have been burning it in for 2 days. Do I need more burn in time? thanks for any reponse.

In fact I am only stable at 220 fsb 1T,2,2,2,6 Bank Interleave=on @2.9/3.0v. 225 fsb is somewhat stable, but I ran into application errors when ripping cd's. At 230 fsb, memtest #5 was ok for over 600 loops, but Superpi 8M shows "not exact round" right away. Vcore is 1.5Vx104%, Chipset is at 1.7V. My spec as in my sig. Thanks.Quote:

After 3 days of burn in at 3.0v, it started to deteriorate, and I have to back down to 215 fsb. Out of frustation, I upped Vdimm to 3.3v (speed fan and Smartguardian read 3.15v), it is stable at 230fsb for 28 loops of memtest#5, and 8M Superpi was completed. Great, there is some progress here, hope it will keep this way. I'll have to mod my psu to 4.0v.
One question for all of you. What else use the 3.3v rail? If I mod the 3.3v rail to 4.0v, will it hurt whatever stuff that use this rail? Thanks.
Ive had 256x2 of the older Mushkin blue line PC3200 2-3-3-6.... it has mushkin enhanced printed on the pcb so i dont think its using brainpower pcb.. the part no. is 990991 which is different from the newer sticks.... any ideas what ICs it uses???
I can get 250 but only with a single stick
Do you guys know if I went with a dual channel board if I could do 250 with 2X512? Im at 3.2 volts 2225 timings
