Laugh all you want but they only did 230MHz when I got them. Some RAM has been proven to gain from burning in so it is not just a myth.

the_n00b<:o): too early stick.

Ill test them a little later, but they do have the two dimples on each chip. does that mean they are winbond?

Your Twinmos RAM has Mitsubishi Chips on it. Test it, but it'll never perform like Winbond.

I bet it doesn't have the two dimples in the middle, but one half dimple in the middle of the lower edge of the chip.

well heres a pic:

i think it has 2 large dimples on the chips. testing now...

maybe I will buy a booster, but I dont know if it works on my is7-e

it works but the VVT track gets all out of whack so the more volts dont really help much...

tom: that looks like winbond to me buddy, start cooking them and let us know how it goes.

Hi there guys and HAPPY NEW YEAR......

Now........Testing those two modules I was quit amazed I could say......

They ACT like BH-5 modules BUT COLDER.......on an INTEL rig.......

With 3.2Vdimm(provided by the DDR Maximizer - clean power -

.....they reached over 240MHz at Cas 2 - 5 - 2 - 2.........NONE CH-5 chips works at those settings on an INTEL rig so I believe that they are NOT equiv. to CH-5 chips........

Twinmos 2 x 512MB UTT on an ABIT AS8 Mobo with the 865 chipset.......at 3.55Vdimm....

PAT = Disabled

Timings :

2 - 5 - 2 - 2
32M
Auto
Normal
4
Enable
Disable

The funny here is that the cpu-z shows "crazy" product date......

.......and these are 2 x 512MB BH-5 chips for comparison.......at the same config.......

ALL I have to say is : Twinmos with the UTT chips = BH-5 chips........

As I know esdee bought them about 140Euros........

I think I'll get 2 x 256MB ones to see how they will do.......Hmmmm.......

**Revv23** · 01-02-2005, 09:12 AM

damn hipro...

Hmm, interesting. Then Twinmos changed something, as some time ago all Winbond based Twinmos RAMs began with 04xxxx and so on. Yours is 03xxx and is definitely Winbond based.

Good luck with the sticks.

Edit: Well, got it wrong. Now I realized that it's the 4 at the end and not in the beginning. So yours are chips from week 25 in 2003 and the 4 means that it's winbond based. That's it.

So yours should basically be CH-5 chips.

**Jessfm** · 01-02-2005, 09:33 AM

So would that make this http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=601808 the stuff to get ?

Im going to grab a 2x256 on tues if so.

**TEDY** · 01-02-2005, 10:20 AM

damn cheap :>

**tom_ed** · 01-02-2005, 10:23 AM

well both been tested on my DFI 250gb @ 3.1v. I would have gone higher but im on a crappy 300w psu that has a 3.3v rail @ 3.15v

one stick did 240mhz 2-2-2-5 and the other did 247mhz 2-2-2-5. i feel with more volts they could go higher they scaled well up to there.

Jessfm that is the exact kit that this is, but i dont think they come with winbond chips anymore.

**TEDY** · 01-02-2005, 10:33 AM

who could buy this for me in europe and send me ? i could wire the money

got no cc

**Jessfm** · 01-02-2005, 10:36 AM

I think its worth a look then.

But Hipro5 is reffering to a newer chip thats on these ??

So the chips between BH5 and the new UTT are poor clockers( CH5 or Mitsubishi chips?)

or am I totaly confused now ( to be fair I have had a couple of beers today)

**tictac** · 01-02-2005, 11:22 AM

so we should hunt for Twinmos with mtec/Twinmos chip

week 82 2004 or newer

Thanks Hipro5

**MrQ3W** · 01-02-2005, 11:27 AM

Week 82 sounds tough...

**tictac** · 01-02-2005, 11:36 AM

yes it is

**Revv23** · 01-02-2005, 12:37 PM

**mrlobber** · 01-02-2005, 01:18 PM
