BH-5 or CH-5 UTT???

**Theo404** · 05-08-2005, 04:08 PM

Got an itchy finger over the confirm order button at komplett.co.uk on a set of 2x512 twinmos speed premium.....they have BH-5 and CH-5 (new UTT).....the BH-5 is Â£41 a stick the CH is Â£48. Anyone care to give me their experience/'feeling' on which sticks to get?

**Theo404** · 05-08-2005, 04:48 PM

To late! Well wish me luck. Bought 2 sticks of SP 3200 BH-5. I'l post results in this thread later this week.

**craig588** · 05-08-2005, 04:51 PM

Yeah, I would have went with the BH5 too.

**Rabbi_NZ** · 05-08-2005, 08:46 PM

From the official TwinMOS pricelist it looks like PC3200 SP is only CH5 now and PC3500 SP is only BH5... if you got PC3200 SP BH5 you are very lucky

Also seems strange the BH5 is cheaper... on the pricelist the CH5 is the cheaper option

**webbyboy** · 05-08-2005, 08:54 PM

But then the new BH-5 are not really that good..

**robberbaron** · 05-08-2005, 09:24 PM

Yeah, the new BH5 is outperformed on average by the new CH5.

**Theo404** · 05-09-2005, 03:24 AM

Gulp. Ah well, not to try is not to know and all that, maybe they'l be gems. But if they do seem to do under average clocks (compared to CH-5 UTT) I'l return them, komplett has a ten day cool off period, just got to be really careful when I open the packet heheh. Yeah, about the funny prices, thats komplett all over, their prices change quickly with demand, I guess the CH-5 is in higher demand...should be here tomorow or the day after.

I've trailed through the long winbond IC thread, but not really got any nice comparable evidence between new BH and CH....anyone got any links or the like?

**^don.k's^** · 05-09-2005, 04:36 AM

As i know, SP 3200 is CH-UTT, isn't?? Also the results with CH are better than BH...

**Rauf** · 05-09-2005, 04:46 AM

I'd say they perform about the same.
I got lucky with a pair of 512MB V-Data BH-5. doing 272MHz 2-2-2-5 3dmarkstable
not many CH-5 can do that...

**^don.k's^** · 05-09-2005, 05:29 AM

Not lucky, you got VERY VERY lucky

Not many BH do that also...

**jellybeard999** · 05-09-2005, 05:31 AM

i keep being tempted by these... but am leaning towards 2x1gb of corsair 2.5-3-3 stuff

Well, not everybody gets lucky all the time, i always get CBBIDÂ´s or (in case of Athlon XPÂ´s) other freaky steppings... As for motherboards? i got the Rev A00 of DFI, which is also the suckiest.

If my Value VX wont OC, ill give them also back... (or not, but mine cost over 140â‚¬! (yeaH VALUE))... Not 120 Mini US.DLLS, so its not the same.

**TEDY** · 05-09-2005, 07:25 AM

aleman i got also A00 of DFI but that doesnt matter...just flash new bios :>
ocz value vx is 104$ in usa

that's around 70â‚¬ :P

**Theo404** · 05-09-2005, 10:18 AM

Sorry largon, go shout at the all the people in the 'mushkin blue' thread. There were several of them planning to buy 4-6 sticks each and return the duds. Its not like thats the way I buy all performance hardware.....:P

**Theo404** · 05-09-2005, 03:45 PM

To the person/ppl that thought that 3200 SP is only CH-UTT:

https://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=309097

Says quite clearly heheh

But of course I cant be certain. But hey, if they are CH, well then I have saved Â£7 a stick, and I have a good reason to rma if they dont clock.

Komplett stocks both BH5 and CH5 SP PC3200, they must have looked on the modules as it clearly says which chips are used. Also the SP3200 BH5 was added to the site loads later than the CH5 PC3200, so they must have had good reason to differentiate between the two.

**Theo404** · 05-09-2005, 04:17 PM

I'm not contesting that komplett have both different kinds, I was anticipating US doubt. Your from the OCUK forums arnt you? havnt seen you post here before.

**jiff** · 05-09-2005, 05:13 PM

The BH I have seen on komplett is 3500 not 3200

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=308282&cks=PRL

Not that I would buy from them, another company I had to let my CC deal with

Not as bad as Ocuk though

**JasonDTM** · 05-09-2005, 05:36 PM

I thought BH-5 hated CAS 2.5??

'Cause my BH6 doesnt like any 2.5 action

See this post by a DFI employee about nF4 revisions.

I don't see anything wrong with my CBBID 0505 either.
