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

[T_M]

The fact that this has saved at least 1 person's RAM is enough to praise Waus, let alone the many many people that now have working kick arse modules again!!

MorueM,
Since you can run 1T with other dimms there must be something really wrong with the underperforming dimm. Command rate is a mem ctrl timing, thus results can not vary that much considering your Corsair stick has identical (but higher rated) chips.

Does your "defective" stick run DDR400 at any timings?

i'd like to see MorueM try the other core to see what the end result is. i won't have my other cpu back from RMA for a while and that one is a Clawhammer so i don't think things will get better for me than the current E6 core i have running.

Ouaou I was looking for a magic program like that when I had the Asus A8V mobo with an A64 3500+, the rams simply didn't run over 200 mhz propably because of the DDR333 SPD.

Here's my spd dump file for Kingston Valueram PC2700(DDR333) 256MB BH-6.

[audiojunk66]

Source?
According to Alonso (a TwinMOS tech) BH-UTT is the exact same chip as original BH-die (175nm).

I found it here on Xtreme but i think it was wrong too after i look a bit further.
But it's strange that the new BH-5 won't run very well on a Asus P4C800(-E) and a Dothan if the chips are the same

[Gazza76]

anyone got the dump for Buffalo PC3700 (old bh5) 512mb sticks

[Micutzu]

There you go, the 256MB file modded to 512MB.

[yotomeczek]

I lose geil ultra X (tccd) 1 stick 512m ... only me with tccd dead ?
no Vmods ... just restart como and no boot

[Waus-mod]

Well yoto,

Follow the Tutorial and it works again

[yotomeczek]

Well yoto,

Follow the Tutorial and it works again

I'll try

[HydroX]

Well yoto,

Follow the Tutorial and it works again

Waus-mod, I have a problem :



why there are greyed options and there is no "Read device" like in the tutorial ?

[Micutzu]

Maybe the chipset is not supported, what mobo are you using ?

[kiwi]

HydroX:

What motherboard/chipset?

Maybe the chipset is not supported, what mobo are you using ?

This is true, I tested that program on nForce 410/Geforce6100 and it didn't work at all no matter what modules. On KT266 (the best so far ) or i915 no problems.

[HydroX]

nah, I'm using DFI LP UT NF3 250gb, and they said at their website, this program support NF2/NF3/NF4 chipset.

makes me feel very bad, because atm I have one stick of my teamxtreem dead

[Waus-mod]

Well test it on a other pc..

[Revv23]

wow im pumped.

going to try this out on my dead 256 mushkin LvII 3200 stick... that was killed by an ocz booster though so odds are it really is dead. On the other hand it dies at 3.2v, i always felt like i got some bad luck maybe the spd just went bad when i was loading cpu-z.

[hipro5]

Tried on a dead BH-6 (SPD) I have.........I'm convinced that SPD chip IS deffinatelly dead now....

Flashed 4 x Kingston Value Rams 256MB, into Corsair ......Starting by SPD = Cas 2-2-2-6.......

[Waus-mod]

Please be carefull hipro.. and to take a look into the startpost (latest part) As it its very important to read it.

I flashed my Corsair BH6 2x512 to Mushkin BH-6 but they didn't perform any better so i flashed them back.
Memtest gives no errors at 233Mhz 2-2-2-5 (3,3V)with all runs for 3 houres but in XP they only will do 200Mhz 2-3-2(2,85V) 2-2-2 gives a error with SuperPi this is with a Asus P4C800-E and Intel M740.

[zungkono]

dear friend, my crucial ballistix(micron 5B-D) not dead but if I run superpi32M @200(SPD 200 2-3-2-8) it failed.
I tested with memtest can pass until HTT260, can anyone tell me why/ what is the problem and how to fix it(if can), in this thread I can't find the dumb file for my crucial BL6464Z402 (512MB), anyone have it ?
thanks

Ok guys, i managed to resurrect my dead khx512 bh5 stick. It booted in other pc i tried and though windows wouldn`t recognize it, typhoon could see it and rewrite, it turned out that the checksum was corrupted.

Although it works now, the motherboard of the pc (i865 made by intel) i was using to rewrite, says that the SPD information is inconclusive and refuses to boot at higher speed than 266 (on northwood 533fsb).

In everest it can be seen that the SPD of the module is found only for 400mhz (2-2-2-6) and no other speeds. Can someone confirm this for 512 kingston bh5 sticks? What speeds do you see? I don`t have the other stick with me right now unfortunately

I will try it in the evening in my own motherboard.

[Micutzu]

What speed is the stick rated at (PC3000, PC3200, PC3500) ?

[tresis]

KHX3200k2/1g

So it`s PC3200. Also a friend confirmed, there is only one spd mode for these.

[Micutzu]

Yes, KHX3200 BH-5 has only one rating, DDR400 2-2-2-6. Here's the SPD you need for your 512MB stick, try to overwrite once again using this dump.

[tresis]

Already done, thx. I will post back when @ home.

[GT-one]

lol hot swap kills both stick and your mobo
dont do that
try different mobo, until you find one that can boot it
or try some special spd programmer as i mentioned earlier

So if my system doesn't run with the dead stick in, and I can't do hot swap, and I haven't any sdp programmer... This means i can't do anything more, doesn't it?
