Any way to tell if HyperX is BH-5, CH-5, etc?

I have these sticks and I can't see the memory chips b/c of the heatspreaders. Is there anyway to tell what type of memory chips they are by looking at the sticker on the heatspreaders or through a program???

Hey man, with 2 overclocks like those, who cares which chips your memory has?

The only way I know of to tell is to remove the heatspreaders.

I thought BH-5 sticks ran @2.5volts and the CH-6 @2.6volts as noted on the stickers.

I think you're right. The old BH-5 Hyper-X was marked 2.5v and I think the newer CH-5 stuff is marked 2.6v.

Hope you're right. I own a stick of the HyperX PC2700 and it is marked as 2.5 volts. I always heard that it's CH-5 chipped though. It certainly doesn't like high volts, and can run at 200 Mhz FSB at relaxed timings.

My hyperX 3000 is BH5.. some of the best stuff ive ever had.

If I am right, all HyperX PC2700 is NOT BH5. Only PC3000 and above has possibility of being BH5 as far as I know.

Thats what I've heard.

The 3000 IS 2700. At least the chips are. Its just listed as 3000.

I have always heard that only certain PC-3000, the CAS2 PC3200, and the PC3500 are BH-5, and all the rest are relegated to "other" chips. I also was under the impression that the PC2700 WAS PC3000 (with CH-5 chips). CH-5 like low voltages, and loose timings as compared to BH-5 chips.

What about my HyperX PC4000? BH-5?

PC4000 is NOT BH5. And my 3000 is 2700 BH5 chips. listed 2.5v, CPUz sees it as 2700. Runs stable 2 2 2 6 up to DDR415.
