OCZ VX, Best Memory made since BH5!!

[RocKer]

Anybody got some info on how the VX is doining on nF2 boards,i can try it but i got only 1x512mb of VX,wont there be a big differens in running sc on nF2,or is it better to run dc on it.

O hell i'll try it anyway.

On nforce2 dual channel with 2x512 sticks won't get you anywhere with 1t anyway.

I am running them on my DFI LPB NF2. Stay away. With 3.3v I can't get a lick over 243 stable. Windows anything over 200mhz causes very weird behaviour. It isn't the sticks it's the weak chipset. My BH-6 is doing much better on this board than the VX. I hope with more volts and a better A64 board I can do higher than I am now.

Ok thks for reply on nF2;

On s754(rig in sig) with VX i get a lot of blue sreens with"0x000000D1 NVATABUS.sys" i have been looking at MS site for info on that but can't find it,dos enybody know what this is about.

I think its got to do with my Maxtor HD 120gb 8mb,but am not sure,don't have an other hd to try out if its any better,only one i have is an old Samsung 4gb,can i try it with this 4gb hd or is it better not.

new winbond chips (can be found on TwinMOS/M.tec - cheapest TwinMOS DDR400 module!) fired with 3,5V - so i believe thats what is under the VX also....

Alonso,

Where did you get this????

[H2OGun]

And, what's the part no. please?

here u find a bad quality pic (the 2 ones down) - these are on sale in germany and already should be in distribution channels...

but not sure if all M.tec use same IC...

[KPJ]

I can't connect. :/

Server is busy I guess????

[Bluebeard]

works fine here...

[Reflex1]

So which one is better, TCCD or VX? i can't decide.

[Bluebeard]

if u have enough vdimm i´d go with the vx (or any other module using new winbond ic )

[KPJ]

Alonso,

Now it works. Looks good. Thanks for the heads up.

[georgesod]

So winbond has brand new ic's? Are u sure?

[jlccarv]

Someone quick, grab that cat!

get it, cats outta the bag. Ok bad joke...

[funkflix]

So winbond has brand new ic's? Are u sure?

Infineon bought Winbond and these ICs are produced at the old
winbond-factory for Infineon! So the ICs are Infineons. labeld as M.Tec <<-- Afaik!
Maybe some new original Infineon sticks have the same ICs on it?

NVATABUS is the IDE driver from the Nvidia Nforce package. MS won't have anything on that cause the file in question isn't a direct part of windows.

If you suspect your harddisk, try running memtest86+ from a floppy.

Depends on how high FSB.multi you will get. For this winchester 3000+ VX probably is much better as I go down on memory divider and end up having to do around 250-260mhz tops, while my 3500+ newcastle is better off around 280-300mhz. It also depends heavily on memory controller of the CPU unfortunately as even with higher multi you might have to go down on divider for max overclock if your memory controller can't keep up.
Choices, choices.

BTW, opp I beat you in 1 stick... out of 4. 267mhz 2-2-2-8 running fine @ ocz memtest86 #5 fine for hours now. The other 3 were not as good though :P

Alonso ,

As far as I can tell MTEC is normaly PCS die , so if people want to take there chances buying mtec , we really are not bothered.


The funny thing is early today we got a blackmail letter , saying the same thing your posting , that we have found some majic new winbond chips.

The one comment I have is even if people figure out whos making these chips , there still not going to be speed screened , and only 20-30% of the current raw parts pass our internal test spec. If you really want to take your chances on something I can get the raw un- binned parts made into a special part number , which you can then order at a much lower cost ... no guarantees it will do as well as vx in every case though


Let me know :-)


Oh , here is the funny blackmail letter

" Hello,

i know what the chips are on your VX ram. They are Winbond UTT blank chips :> Very cheap chips.

And also know that you, ocz, don’t want that this is going to be puplic, cauz more than 100% win on one 512mb DDR-Ram is very much

I’ve got 50 Mtecs with Winbond UTT…

So I think you’re pleased that I keep my Mouth shut … cauz u would like to make much money as possible, that’s normal I know.…

(mtec oem about 39Eur/512mb)

I think there could maybe a deal… for keeping my mouth closed or do you want that everybody know that this ram have one of the cheapest chips on the market…



Hope for a fast reply.

In Rar archive some screens of my Winbond UTT…


Grats Martin"

ryan,

LOL!!!! What did you offer him?

The best way to get proper VX modules is to go OCZ. No doubt about it. But the Mtec is worth a gamble IMO. I will probably buy the VX (for benching) when it's released in 256MB modules if they reach much higher speeds then 512MB modules. Any info about that?

[kristos]

Martin strikes me as a very smart guy

[ryanpgroovy]

But it has me thinking we should release unbinned vx for those crazy guys who like to take chances .. We could eliminate the cost of speed binning and hand testing . We could sell them cheaper.


Call it VX value series ;-)

[KPJ]

Might be a good idea with the VX value.

On Brainpower PCB....

[Torin]

What exactly does your speed binning process determine? Whether they can run 2-2-2 @ a specific voltage? How do the chips that don't pass speed binning for VX run? Do they just not go as high at 2-2-2, or do they not hit 2-2-2 at all, or...? What does a chip have to test out at before you bin it as VX gold?
