There is no bh-5 from ocz/corsair that u can buy "new".

If u´r lucky u may find a place with some old stock of memories and there find "new" bh-5...

There are many threads about whats bh-5 and what is not.. use the search function.

[Mariachi]

I didn't meant that, I meant new BH5 RAM for me, I need new mem.
What I meant I asked how the BH5 RAM from both companies named on the box... XMS? Platinum?

XMS 1.1 i belive in corsairs case.

[lalPOOO]

For mushkin you want pc3500 black lvl2
For ocz you want pc3500 platinum limited edition.

[SAE]

Corsair XMS3500C2 1.1 or 2.1
Corsair XMS3200LL 1.1

some OCZ PC3500LE Level2 are BH-5 (marked as it) and some are CH-5 (imprint?)

[saaya]

not all ocz platinuum are bh5, only rev 1 i think? rev2 was bh6? and rev2.1 or 3, the latest, is with samsung i think.

Is the 3200LL v1.1 as overclockable as other BH-5? It is much more common for people to talk about Mushkin L2, xms 3500, Hyperx BH-5, etc. (especially when posting high 1:1 FSB results) Just curious since I know where to get some 3200LL v1.1. 2x256.

[sparkie34]

I only think its talked about less because i've read that corsair ran outta bh-5 before anyone else. Mushkin seems to be the favorite.

[Mariachi]

I know they discounted products, but I can some at my local dealer and I know to make sure what im getting is BH5.

So I should find Corsair XMS 1.1, But LL or C2?
With OCZ, I think the BH5 RAM is This -OCZ BH5
(2-2-3-6, 433Mhz, And what is EOL??)

Thanks

Makes sense. I'm guessing the 3200LL 1.1 ended up in a lot of stock voltage systems because of the popular Corsair brand and "low latency" marketing. So once BH-5 was fully discovered by xtreme enthusiasts they had to look elsewhere. Interesting.

XMS3500C2 1.1/2.1
XMS3200LL 1.1/2.1

EOL - End Of Life

[freecableguy]

I agree Corsair XMS3500C2 v1.1 is definately BH-5 as marked on the chips.

[Mariachi]

What does it mean "End Of Life" ??
And there's a difference between LL and C2?

[Mariachi]

Thanks Neo
But I need to know if there's a difference between XMS LL and XMS C2 ???

[SAE]

...there's no difference but the fact the LL is specified 2-2-2-5 and the C2 2-3-3-6... but they are both BH-5 and same PCB.

[Mariachi]

OK Thanks!
One rig with EB3700 and another with BH5... wow, dreamy

[Alexandrus]

If you can find BH-5 that is. I would give an arm and a leg for some 2x512MB OCZ PC3500 Platinum LE

[Endre]

Just get any BH-5... KHX3200 is also guaranteed BH-5 (KHX3200A=CH-5). There's also sticks that were originally cheap that has BH-5, like old TwinMOS with Winbond and some Kingston ValueRAM PC3200. These can be just as good as the expensive stuff.

[Mariachi]

Do you guys OCZ'S BH5 is better than the Corsair / Mushkin / Kingston ones?

[LikwidKool]

tough to say. My OCZ pc3500 LE clock better than my KHX,Corsair, and Mushkin, but bh-5 is a toss up.

[Alexandrus]

Most of the timke, yes, OCZ's BH-5 is better than the other BH-5, but only by a small margin, and I'm talking both OCability and bandwidth.

[hallowen]

On my Intel 3.2E ES, The OCZ pc3500 Platinum Limited Edition BH-5 Overclocked Much Better than my KHX3200 BH-5, and I was feeding them 3.4V

Both sets of sticks were 256Mb.

But on my AMD FX-53, It only works good with Corsair TWINX pc3200 or OCZ pc3700EB (512Mb sticks).

[Mariachi]

Good so i'm going for the OCZ, although they much more rare than the Corsair / Mushkin / KHX ones. Only 4 sticks left in my whole country.
