[Asus+Dothan]Dead BH5 - Here is the TUT to fix it!

[Micutzu]

Cant you just run Thaiphoon on the gigabyte motherboard?

Check post #29, he said Thaiphoon doesn't detect the SPD.

[200%absolut]

a good news for all dead BH5

[Waus-mod]

Then i think his whole spd or even de module itself isnt working at all.. to bad kiwi.

[nop]

My dead Mushkin's alive again Thanks Waus-mod for an excellent found.

@wwwww, please check your pm

[Victorshen]

thanks for the info
maybe thats why my pair of corsair bh5 cant boot the machine after the dothan disaster (cpu died)

i gave it a try this morning, but seems that p4c800e refuse to boot with this pair, is there any equipment that can program the spd. iirc ive seen some device via serial port that can program the spd chip...

anyway thanks for the info

cheers

I'm attempting this on a stick of HyperX. Unfortunately it won't post in my NF7-S.

I've tried taping the pins except for 89-92 and 181-184. That didn't work

Any further ideas? Particular BIOS settings (eg should I be setting a SPD in BIOS, and if so what?)

[wander_jarra]

I had done this using an old asus a7v8x with kt400.

Just put one stick that is right ! and the other one with problem - the one with problem, does not get recognized into the bios and even makes the board beep. An follow the how to at first page - after a resetart i just got all sticks working - in dual channel.

Have already tested with the mushkin and a Kingston HyperX without any problem.

I just passed an Memtest86+ and no errors - so it´s fully working like a charm.

has anyone tried reprograming the SPD of a PC3200 stick with that of a PC3500 stick without issue?

i'm going to try this with my TMSP's cause they work very well singularly but incur errors at much lower speeds when installed together. i'll post results when i get the balls to do this


EDIT: ok i've been having some trouble downloading this program. can anyone host a link so i can download this:

[Micutzu]

There you go, few BH-5 dumps.

Thanks a lot

There you go, few BH-5 dumps.

OCZ PC3200 Gold 512MB (new BH).zip

Part number is a bit wrong. I checked it and timings were 2.5-3-3 that are not typical for any GOLD series.


Can someone attach SPD for OCZ EL 400MHz Gold (NOT VX!)?
OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K

[audiojunk66]

Anyone got a dumpfile of Mushkin BH-6 512MB?

[omga14]

thanks for the dumps. i'll try them later. got the download from another thread here. fixed the cooperation issue i was having with my TMSP's. 235mhz at 3.1v's with no errors. didn't play any further cause i want to game for a little while. i'll see how these dumps help out my ram

how important does it seem for the SPD data when it comes to overclocking? does anyone know how different manf's determine what to write to the SPD?

[Micutzu]

I haven't noticed much difference between SPD's max frequency wise, but i can say that i've seen a slight performance boost from using Corsair PC3500C2 SPD on G.Skill 1GBGH modules. I'll have the G.Skill SPD posted tomorrow as it's on my computer at work.

[tennvols_69]

i have some mushkin pc3200 lv2 black old bh-5 i could throw in and dump for you wwwww if you need me to.

[Micutzu]

Let us have it, dump and post here.

[Waus-mod]

Great... more happy ocers verry pretty. keep on goin to repair all the ram
But dont fool youre ram and keep the honour to yourself so dont drop other spd's in youre mem where it aint build from!

[tennvols_69]

sorry hope no one got that dump forgot i pulled my vx and put my tccd in.

[Lastviking]

Here is some more dumps(i will make twinmos dumps soon also)



Edit: added KHX3200 256mb and Twinmos pc3200

Waus mod: can you put all files in first page(it will make it easyer for evry one later).

[chefnr1]

Waus-mod if this will work on my redline one half dead and one dead you deserve an OSCAR..

[cpuz]

Hey guys,
this is most likely a conflict between cpuz and clockgen. As far as I understand from what you reported, both programs are configuring the smbus in an different way. Therefore, when updating with clockgen, there is a chance that the actual write is made on the SPD. I'm still not 100% sure about what could really happen, but I'll work on adding a fix right now.
Sorry for the inconvenience, it's a chance you noticed the problem.

[ixtapalapaquetl]

I will have some Mushkin pc3500 lvl 2 within a week; if need be I can post a dump then.

Question: do you think this technique will work for TCCD as well? In particular, I am referring to the problems many users experience in not being able to run CAS 2.5 after some time, which I have heard is SPD related. This would make a lot more users happy!

Great find.

[200%absolut]

cpuz

Frenchy are not a lot present here

[Lastviking]

Waus-mod: Hmm i stil not get all of this if i have uses 4x 512 and want to write the new spd for only dimm1 how can i do that?(Left hex, and right hex do i dont understand)

[Victorshen]
