Does all the PC3200 ram able to...

[Jgtdragon]

to run 1:1 ratio at 215 and above? I been hearing people talking about BH-5 chip and stuff.
I had my ram for a while and start really overclocking it. It currently running 215 1:1 ratio, is this normal or I might have BH-5 chip?

 

[Soulkeeper]

seems about right to me

 

[digitalemperor]

215 isn't much. BH-5 is known to hit 240-250 /w 3.3v

the thing about BH5 is, it is AWESOME ram but what makes it awesome is its ability to take 3.3v and clock up to 240-250fsb at really tight timings without breaking a sweat.

I have some generic CL2.5 PC2700 that overclocks to 215fsb with only 2.8v.

ALL pc3200 will not be able to do that but 215 for BH5 is nothing

Will a stick of ram from a PowerEdge 400SC,2.4GHZ/512K Cache, P4, 800FSB
128MB DDR, 400MHz, 1X128MB PowerEdge 400SC that is listed as a '128MB PC3200 which is 400Mhz bus' fit into this http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=281
motherboard?

I bought the XP2800 that goes with it, but currently, I have a stick of cheap PC2100 in it so it will only do 2100. I saw the PC3200 stick of ram and was wondering if it would fit this board so I could run it at full speed. The motherboard runs at 333 FSB.


Thanks

According to the corsair forum, I got some Bh5 rams.

Good resource for people using Corsair rams.

I am running my Corsair Twinx @225fsb with 1:1 ratio now but I have to rasie the Vdimm to 2.85v.
Is it save with this voltage?

I don't think that is what he is asking...

But 215 for 200 rated ram is not much...I have never gotten any OC that poor before...but possible I guess.

I wouldn't put my pricy RAM at that voltage, regardless of what chips its using. After a few months of 3.3V, I would keep waiting to turn on my computer only to hear continuous long beeps.

And, no warranty above 2.8v.

My Corsair 3500 is rated 434 (217), and doing that fine now at 2.8 (my max). It'll do 219 same volts, but I dropped it back to not run on the edge.

My question is, how long does such ram last at 3.3?

i've got a buffalo ram i can't run above 210mhz before i get errors on memtest. but below that, no errors. this is at vdimm of 2.95v

depends on temperature and stuff
the memory can get really hot
if you use over 3v i recommend using some kinda extra cooling on the memory because it will get hot.
heatsinks and fans are yur best bet when cranking that vdimm up so high

good luck

Thanks Soulkeeper.

I've got the black heatspreaders (many say are useless, but I don't plan to remove), and good case cooling. All I lack is the MB with above 2.8 and the guts to risk wrecking 2 spendy Corsair dimms. Can make one awfully envious seeing users with the same RAM running 240-260! Later days. Thanks again.
