Correct me if I'm wrong, but those aren't BH-5!
It's not just BH-5 and BH-6, that can run 2-2-2 at PC2100 (266MHz) and PC2700 (333Mhz), some other chips can run those timings at those speeds!!! It's only PC3200 and PC3500 Mushkin Level2 that uses BH-5! And Mushkin's new SE-version uses BH-6.

[snowwie]

if mushkin was putting BH-5 or even BH-6 on their lvl2 PC2700 and PC2100 then they would certainly be advertising it and also being selling it at a premium.

They wouldn't keep it as a secret and give vague hints.

mushkin saw the goldmine that is BH-5 and completely took advantage of it, and have made lots of cash over it. They wouldn't hesitate at the chance to do the same again.

there are modules other than BH-5 and BH-6 that can do 2-2-2 at ddr333 and ddr266 speeds

[KPJ]

snowwie,

Right you are... I said exactly the same in the previous post m8.

Mushkin would most certainly put a "BH-5 sign" on them, if they were really BH-5.

[snowwie]

....heh

yeah, you did

[Reflex1]

the mushkin lvl 2 BH-5 has ran out here ...only the 1g kit is left ...which i dont have the money for.
but there are who sell mushkin pc3200 with BH-6

is BH 6 same or better than BH 5?

[daos]

yeah i just purchased 2 x 256MB, and 1 x 512MB dimm which are BH-5. the single 512Mb stick does 260 fsb 2-2-2-5 at 3.2v. the set does 250 2-2-2-5 at 3.3v.

pretty nice sticks i must say. unfortunatly, i am forced to get rid of the 512MB stick...of course the better performer.

[mrflushysheaven]

i'll take that off your hands =]

[DaveX]

Bah, I can't find Mushkin lvl. 2 anywhere! I don't want to pay $350 for 2x512MB Mushkin Special 2-2-2- either. What should I do? Does OCZ still carry any BH-5 or BH-6? OCZ EL Platinum PC3200 is rated 2-3-2-5 so that couldn't be CH-5 right? This OCZ EL PC3200 is CH-5 because it is rated for 2-3-2-6 right?

[smithy]

Why don't you go to zipzoomfly and get the KHX3200/K2 BH-5's from there. They have a dual kit totaling 512 ram for $190USD. Just make sure they are the NON A version of ram so look closely before buying.

1gig

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=80097-22

At least these are BH-5 and not BH-6's unless Kingston did a switch lately like they did with their 3000 series. Just for reference I paid 152USD for 1-512 Mushkin LV2 3500DDR BH-5 back in November last year and that was the highest price at NewEgg before they ran out. So paying 25USD more for the last remaining BH-5's isn't that bad of a increase. In about a month this ram will probably go for 200USD a piece.

[uwackme]

The question is, as with ALL thngs... is this REALY what it is alledged to be, or not.

ie: 100% certain to be BH5 or not. If so Ill go order some, but I really have no interest in a run around from Zip or anyone else over "we dont garantee particular chips, etc"

Anyone bought this in the last week and confirmed they are BH5?

[smithy]

you can contact zipzoomfly for more info. You must read their rules for return. But one things for sure is that they also sell the 3200A series and it is another item number . Note the difference in settings and also in price. 190 vs 168.

IE: Original w/ BH-5.

The only one that specifically stated that their chips are BH-5's were the original Mushkin Level 2's not the 2-2-2 specials.

[DaveX]

smithy, thanks but I already ordered 2x512MB KHX PC3000 off newegg. I'm definitely not shelling out $350 for a gig of ram, whether it's BH-5 or not. uwackme, KHX3200K2 (not it does not have A after 3200) is guaranteed BH-5. The A version has CH-5. That shows in their respective SPD, 2-2-2-6 and 2-3-2-6. When I get my KHX PC3000 I'll let you guys know what I get!

[uwackme]

Thanks Dave... good luck, hope you did better than me on the KHX3000's

Ill be getting back the RMA soon, and we'll see.

Hopefully it is not the CH-5 version of KHX3000 non A's. if you could run it at 2-2-2-6 at 210fsb or better then you have some good ram. How much did you buy? 512 or 1gig setup? Just curious as compared to zipzoomfly. At least at Newegg they RMA very easily without any hastles unless the product is destroyed or tampered hard with.

[DaveX]

I ordered 1GB (2x512MB) from newegg because it's only $5 more than ZipZoomFly and I have more experience with newegg.

[mista_chewey]

why does zipzoomfly still have those bh-5 in stock??
and every other place is out of stock
BTW is this BH-5?http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=80097-13

[smithy]

Might be but doubt it. It is only the HYPERX's is the real BH-5's

AKA KHX3000 or KHX3200 NON A"S ONLY.--- BH-5's with 2-2-2-6 default but in AMD systems it is better to have 2-2-2-11.

Probably a misprint...I doubt they have only Corsair XMS PC3200LLPT rev1.1, which have the 2-2-2-6 SPD timings since they're guaranteed BH-5. If you get some rev1.2, that CH-5 is supposed to be 2-3-2-6 SPD.

[mista_chewey]

oy all of this hunting is giving me a headache....
think im just gonna go get the new OCZ EB easier to find

[extremecorvette]

I sold some Mushkin on ebay for 400 + shipped for a 1GB, I can't belive it's going for that much. I wonder what I'll get for a new set in the Mushkin bags for 1GB if I put it on this week?

[Iridium192_217]

glad I got my BH5 level II black sitting here with me

[PyroTeknik]

curiosity speaking here... is there a point to keeping this as a sticky? its going on ten months old news..

[DaveX]

yeah, why is this still a sticky?
