NF2 UTT BH5 - Highest stable clocks - REPORT IN & DISCUSS !!!

[gsan]

I just got my Gskill 2x512MB GH DC kit. It works great at 200 @ 2-2-2-5, 1T, 2.7v on NF7-S v2. But once I overclock it, even 201 @ 2-2-2-5, 1T at any vdimm, it gives million of errors in memtest#86. But somehow, now the ram is burning-in at 235 @ 2-2-2-5, 2T, 3.2v stable.

p/s: i did try many modd. bios but it doesnt help at all.

Come on, guys, just share your experience with us

IT seems to me that this G.Skill 1GBGH likes high Vdimm al lot.

Mine reached 248 (254 with PI 1M), 2-2-2-5 at Vdimm 3.64V, not very stable lower than that.

nforce2........i think youll find no really good results with nf2, for that you need old school bh-5

My Gskill GH needs 3.5v to PI32M stable at 250 2-2-2-5 , i think mines is suck but yours is sucker than mines hehehe

yes, my old school double sided bh5 can do 252 @ 2-2-2-11, 1T, 3.6v stable in memtest#86. but what to do? i already bought the ram, no point for me to sell it....

[msimax]

i just bought the same ram i cant get sable above 240 to save my life the only reason i bought it cause every review i saw was getting 260-275 i setup a rma on my x23800 cause it wasnt sable past 2.5 put in my old bh5 now it goes 3.0ghz at 1.67
so i fell ur pain and im getting a refund

[gsan]

msimax,

what platform? nforce 2 ?

[msimax]

amd64 tested with a winnie and a x23800 on a neo2 plat..

[gsan]

but what I concern is on NF2 chipset mobo.

[JNav89GT]

might be a pcb issue. Most older bh5 use reference or jdec boards. Most new dimms use bp pcb
plus utt is a bit different, needs alot of volts. Not sure what to say as I've not used utt on nf2

[gsan]

voltage is not prob for me since i'm using ddr booster and i've a 92mm fan blowing it. but the ram acting weird, cpc on only limited to 200 @ 2-2-2-5 as it labelled on the sticker, even 1 more mhz will gives lots of errors in memtest#86.

[HousERaT]

on an NF2 board you'll be lucky to get 230. More like 220 is what you can expect. If you have a volt modded board (chipset, vtt, etc.) and a tweaked bios you might get a bit higher. If you're talking about the new bh-die, you can forget about it. The new ram doesn't really like NF2 architecture and hardly anyone has had real good success with it.

hope that's not the ram problem. currectly running 235 @ 2-2-2-5, 2T, 3.3v stable. 240 @ 2-2-2-5, 2T, 3.4v running memtest86#5 around 9hours, only 2 errors, when come to windows, running application few minutes, the pc autorestart

[largon]

I found this from my archive:

2x512MB DC 245MHz 2-2-2-11 1T 3.3v on DFI nF2 Ultra Infinity.
Atleast SPi 32M stable. Don't remember if it was actually stable

Edit: Ok, ok! It's CH-UTT...

[steelballzz]

hi
i have in another rig 2x512 redline 3500 and dfi nf2 with a 2600 mobile
3,3v i can do 236 2-2-2-8...no mods just vdimm
below 3,2 v wont do 200 2-2-2-8
they r waiting to jump to a nf4 mobo.....
with my mushkin bh6 i can do 255 2-2-2-8 25 loops of memtest at 3,3v...

my vx 4000 wouldnt boot on my dfi nf2.....
i guess its a wrong mem choice if u r not thinking on an upgrade fast

[gsan]

largon,

so envy your utt ch can run 1T with considerable high clock on NF2 mobo, mine even cant run 1T at all except stock speed.

steelballzz,

thanks for your info. maybe my GH also waiting for A64 platform.

[uwackme]

I have every suspicion its a memory controller setting that is NOT accessible by the user.

I have 3200Gold BH5, old BH5, and UTT-CH.

I cant get 1T past 200-210 with any BH5, and barely get 225 2T.

The UTT-CH on the other hand, 1T 250Mhz x10 8,2,2,2.0 @ 3.45Vdimm no problem. So the memory controller and CPU are not the issue, the interaction of the BH5 and bios are the issue. This is on DFI Infinity, Vmod'd up the wazzu, and a great 2600+ mobile.

[g0dM@n]

One of my friends wants to buy a good set of 2x512 UTT that will work nicely with his NF2. I offered my 2x512 TwinMOS SP (BH5 UTT), but I told him that he probably won't get 250fsb like it can do... told him he'd need 2T and probably would top out around 230-240ish at 2-2-2.

Funny that this thread came up recently... I was just asked recently about this, lol.

So what's the furthest so far? Gsan said he hit 252 at 2-2-2 1T... damn!

[gsan]

The 252 @ 2-2-2-11, 1T is based on old school 2x256MB double sided bh5. But now i'd experience problems between my 2x512MB GH and nf2 mobo. well, i cant make any conclusion since the ram havent tested on A64 platform but so far, this GH (utt bh5) does not like the nf2 mobo. 200 @ 2-2-2-5, 1T stable but 1 more mhz (201) will give million of errors in memtest86. so far, the ram running at 240 @ 2-2-2-5 in memtest86 for more than 9 hours and got 2 errors only, but come to windows, run application and few minute later, the pc become unstable.

[don_vercetti]

highest i ever got on my nf2 + utt bh-5 was about 235mhz 2-3-2-11, with 2.7v (more didn't help) and it wasn't stable.

Since, this RAM (geil value, btw) is currently at 255mhz 2-2-2-6 @ 3.2v in my NF4 Ultra-D. NF2 was not great for bh ram, really.

thanks for your info. may i know the 235 @ 2-3-2-11 is running at 1T or 2T ?

yours ocz 3200gold bh5 is utt chip? i tried many modd. bios but the result still same, the ram does not allow me to run 201 @ 2-2-2-5, 1T.

[uwackme]

No my OCZ 3200 Gold is new UTT-BH5 (according to OCZ) and the ValueVX I bought was the same (but a little slower than the gold in use), and I have OLD BH5 from years ago, and I have UTT-CH5 from Twinmos.... Twinmos 3200 SP "AA4T" with -44D chips on them.... 4 512M sticks. This UTT-CH is in my NF4 right now, 250Mhz x11 4x512M sticks 2T 8,2,2,2.0, but the best pr did 250Mhz x10 1T 8,2,2,2.0 flawlessly totally stable in my Infinity NF2.

All the BH5 hates the NF2 board, best result so far is ONE stick of old BH5 in single channel....252Mhz 2T. 225-235Mhz is the max I can get the BH5 stuff on NF2.

Tell your freind to either get 2x512M sticks of REAL "VX" which are UTT-CH chips, or get 2x 1G sticks of Mushkin....

Mushy 1G sticks

These amazingly do 235Mhz dual channel 2Gigs! 1T in the Infinity @ 2.8Vdimm.

your experiece give me the hope with the GH.

[gsan]

well, so far what I got is

uwackme - barely get 225MHz @ 2T (DFI Infinity)
seldomsean - 2x512MB 252.7MHz @ 2-2-2-11 1T (dfi Lanparty B)
