Is bh-5 still alive? got 2x256mb running at ddr560 2-2-2-5

[Onepagebook]

3.6v w/ ddrbooster

3.6v w/ ddrbooster

hm try 3.9v, go for the max

weird, when I set 3.9v, the whole system did not boot at all.
Back to 3.5~3.6v, it just no prob to boot and run mark. Anything over 3.8v, no go.

i think the way to get 3.9V is to boot at lower voltage then increase it slowly until you want your voltage.

Onepagebook, excellent info there!

Thanks for doing the test. Thats pretty much what a lot of us wanted to see I guess. Shows that the GSkill TCCD has very nice 'real world' performance too.
273 1:1 2-2-2-5 is pretty close to max as far as BH5 goes but can the TCCD stuff do much over 300 at those timings thru the Lobby hi test? Or does 273 vs 300 pretty much represent the peak performance level of each RAM?

Also w/ BH5 you can tweak the 'other timings' quite a bit (via A64tweaker) and get extra speed compared to the 'stock' 2-2-2-5-11 (2-2-2-5-7 already is a nice boost - and would prolly get the LH above 185 already..) - and it doesn't hurt the OC. Does similar tweaking help with TCCD too (in other words: can these modules take the faster 'other timings' too without hurting the OC level)?

Lose 5-15mhz according to the oskar-wu thread.

Thanks Macci, I will let you know further info when I go deep with BH-5!
I appreciate your advice!

[Arnar]

That was real nice comparasion, thanks alot for doing it

[spaceman]

Yes, thanx for showing us that BH-5 is NOT outdated, lol. @ macci, a lot of us need some help with those "other" timings yet, any info? Thanx.

i got you, 1pagebook, by 0,2mhz

Onepagebook, can you also get your hands on a pair of 512MB BH-5 and do some overclocking? I like to see what settings you use to overclock 2x512MB BH-5 ram.

her my highest overclock with 2x512mb @3.7v

[Mrki]

My results with 2x512 KHX 3500 BH-5, 2-2-2-6-10-12 @ 3.2VDimm ...

[Mauri Antero]

To add again that BH-5 still rocks :banana4:
Even KHX3000 with 3.8V

[Jhya]

Wow! those are amazing overclocks. GJ!! The DFI UT looks like a winner with DS BH-5 sticks!!!

I just hope MSI fixes their BIOS so that my K8N Neo2 M/B can get along with my 2x512 KHX3200K2 sticks. I am currently using BIOS 1.36 and anything past 205 on my BH-5 ram I get BSOD. That's with 3.4V on the DDR Booster. Single sticks boots me fine to 250 HTT 1:1. 2-2-2-8 1T

should I buy an OCZ booster or not for my ram... hmm *thinks*

If you need any help deciding:

Your ram and proc might be different, but with sufficient cooling:

You decide...
