Mushkin out of BH5 chips!

notice all the BH5 ram is out of stock indefinately.

maybe a sign of the times. i bet kingston and corsair run out pretty soon as well.

if you HAVE to have BH5 chips better make it fast.

you should be able to get black level 2 from resellers like Newegg until they run out of stock.

yup saw that notice on their site... glad i got some which arrived yesterday even if they aren't as good as my xm3500c2 or ocz pc3500 plat LEs

[kleptophobiac]

mmm, *smiles*

Gotta love the hyperx 3200 with BH5.

[RuKK]

corsair 3200ll v1.1 here

[STEvil]

Better stop in town tomarrow and pick up a pair of KVR3200's... hope they are the BH-5 variety !

[RuKK]

Just make sure they are rated at 2-2-2-x and you should be fine. Man I am glad I have BH5 or I would be going crazy trying to get money to get ahold of some right now.

[bmg]

Newegg still shows the Mushkin 3500 L2 in stock. I got a pair of 512mb's yesterday. These two are at least as good as my Corsair 512mb XMS3500C2's.

[Frost_Bite]

I just ordered another set of 2x256MB Mushkin LvlII Black from NewEgg. I had to pay $173.00 for the 512MB kit, but I think it is worth it.

[RuKK]

Will be interesting to see how used BH5 keeps its value (or doesnt) when its all gone. I doubt it will go for above retail.. but we can always dream right?

[mikead_99]

You mean I actually timed something right? I just ordered a second set last Friday, burning them in right now.

[tennvols_69]

dang i just bought some pc3200 2x256 lv2 blk im glad i did too. i guess ill have to take it easy on this ram then cant put 3.2v through them for too long. i wonder if they keep a reserve for rma's i hope so.

[Hell-Fire]

I received my Mushkin L2 3200 the other day, but may order some HyperX 3200 BH5 for good measure.

[Nookie420]

traded my KHX PC3500 ch5 for a friends mushkin black lvl 2 pc3200 bh-5 as they dont need it, and i do.

[Craig]

I think I'll be ordering another pair of the 3500 Lvl 2. I hate to spend the money on ram right now, but better than not being able to find good ram later.

[DeForce]

Damn looks like I missed out....unless somebody all of a sudden wants some ch5. I don't have any cash to buy anything right now. Contributing to the weekly jobless claims for the moment.

[speedstream5621]

AFAIK, OCZ bought the rest of BH-5. Its in there LE packs now.

Unlikely.

They will cost alot for a month or so,till BH-4 come out...Remember the difference between BH-6 and BH-5?BH-4 is supposed to kick the BH-5's head off...

[Maxvla]

so BH4 is really close? thats good news!

me got six stick a year ago . even the valueram does 6-2-2-2.0 if it has bh-5

actually the valueram often runs better than the hyperx as it doesn't seem to mind lots of extra voltage. the hyperx often seems to have a small range of voltage that it will work at and this changes as the fsb changes.

I guessed this about a month ago, as their prices kept rising.

If you want BH-5 you better get it where you can now. Newegg has BH-5 kingston 3200's still, cheap.

Snooze you lose. Remeber that. Might just go buy 10 sticks and count on a premium on ebay!!!!

I was in circuit city 3 months ago. Just browsing, and noticed 3 sticks of pc2700 were BH-5's, i bought all three for Cheap.

I like Kingstons packaging, on value, you can see the chips.

[drunkenmaster]

a lotta people find better clocks on teh kingston hyperx with spreaders off, i'd guess thats the only diff between the value version and hyperx. RIght now teh value ram seems to be ch-5, all of it, but its cheap, good, and all 3 of my sticks, run cas 2,2,2,6 :o thats with 2.7v not in dual channelm but still a good sign.

Has tehre even been any mentino of bh-4? its all gonna be ddr2, its not like ch-5 is crap i'm sure kingston and winbond will be more than happy with it until ddr2, 939 boards and 775 boards that use ddr2 are out.

Anyone else know what happened.

[Maxvla]
