3200 bh5 or 3500bh5
- Thread starter scorchio
- Start date
If I was looking at buying some BH5, I'd look at Twinmos. The rereleased BH5's on Brainpower look VERY promising for high FSB with the usual 2-2-2-whatever timings.
It's out on their newer 'Speed premium' and the BH5 versions have 1A4T as the last 4 digits of the part number...
AA4T is CH5-UTT on brainpower, and it's up there for FSB too, just less likely...
BH5 is tricky, there's no guarantees that you're gonna get a set that'll do 275, but Brainpower PCB should help a lot...

I dont think it matters which BH5 you get as long as it's old skool for now - Minstadave has the new stuff and he's stuck at 250FSB using two sticks. Dave is now burning in individual sticks to see if stick fairs better than the other.
3200 runs at 400Mhz or 200HTT, 3500 runs at 433Mhz or 217HTT so there is not that much in them - of course it's a gamble but I have read from most other forums that the old skool BH5 on a DFI NF4 MOBO running 3.4 - 3.6v is more consistent than any of the new stuff out there right now and should clock higher and tighter more often than not.
Most sets of old skool that get 250ish on other mobos (even with volt mods or ocz boosters) seem to be able to run much better of the DFI - 268 seems to be the average @ 2-2-2-6 3.5v
Ones that appear to perform the best are corsair V1.1, Mushkin Level2, Living Large uses Kingmax, but I have to say they do not appear to to be one of the more consistent sets available.
The Twinmos speed premium stuff will probably mature as the yield quality improves and higher overclocks will be be common place once again.
On the flip side - Scorchio lend me your TCCD I wanna bench it versus the BH5, the benchies will go like this:
300x10 2.5-3-3-7 for TCCD
250x12 2-2-2-6 for BH5
Will bench in common tests - superpi32m 3dm2001se and Aquamark3 and see how they compare.
Finally, I'd like to run the custom PC benchmark test also - give that extra bandwidth chance to stretch it's legs

I've run the tests myself, though all single channel 2X256 in my old BH5's and 1X512 of Corsair tccd XL stuff...
The BH5'll do cas1.5 though, I don't know how much bh5 will do that, but this will at 3.3v/255htt...
I found that even one stick of tccd at 3-4-4-8 and 325htt(best it would do at 1t) the bh5's still won the speed tests, and was far more stable...
I almost jumped on the tccd bandwagon, thought fsb was the way to go, but if you have a FX cpu, and can use a multi to make up the speed, BH5 at 2-2-2 or better wins out imo...
I know the older stuff usually maxxed out at 260fsb/htt for BH5, with a few exceptions...
If the 'new' BH5 is the same chips on a newer and better PCB, then the newer stuff, once burned in, is gonna give better results...
I've got some UTT ocz 3500's in 512, but couldn't get 'em past 245 fsb at 2-2-2 so I put 'em in my 3 year old's pc

Well I just ordered some of the Twinmos 'New' BH5 'Speed Premium', Hope my wife doesn't get THAT card statement lmao
2X512 BH5 on Brainpower PCB, so next weekend I'll be burning that in, and see if it reaches any further than the 2X256 I have now...
We'll see if they stretch any further than Minty Dave's, and hopefully I've got the new FX-55 by next w/e as well, and I can throw the booster at as well...3.6vdimm should be the limit on the Neo2, so we'll see where it go's...
I gotta soft spot for Twinmos BH5's, they've been great in all my old skool XP rigs, so we'll see what this new batch does...
Twas £102 shipped incl vat if anyone's interested...just to let you know it don't HAVE to be expensive anymore...

LMAO oh don't worry, if it's a 275 @ 2-2-2 scorcher set, I'll be braggin' from here to xtreme and then some
As long as I've got the ddr booster and the new cpu by then, I should be playin' with 3.6vdimm, which is really where this memory should be run, if I don't then I'll be burning the ram in with 3.3v on this rig for a week, so if it'll give up 250+ with 3.3v, I'll be happy, cos I know it'll do more with 3.5+
