mushkin level II ram

[slag]

Is all mushkin level 2 ram bh-5? I am looking specifically at pc3500 level 2 mushkin ram.

 

[Richdog]

Yup at the moment it's all BH-5

 

[wicktron]

Everybody is out of BH-5, if you find some, get it, because Mushkin, Corsair, Kingston, and OCZ are all out of BH-5 chips.

It is BH-5 but Mushkin does not have it any more, the last time I checked. Only the leftovers on places like newegg.

 

[edmundoab]

is BH-5 the only one able to do 2-2-2-6 timings on a PC3200 LL?

what about the current corsair ver1.2 which has a 2-3-2-6 timings? is that BH-5 or something else?

 

[joe2004]

2-3-2-6 timings?

Sounds like CH-5. Not bad but not BH-5.

 

[Shimmishim]

2-3-2-6 is ch-5

only bh-5s i know of that are guaranteed are the kingston khx3200 (non a) and are in stock at zipzoomfly.com

 

[slag]

whats the difference between level 1 and level 2 ram?

Are they both bh-5 chips, just slightly different cas/ras latencies?

Level 1 ram

 

[nick1985]

i can confirm that my level II 3500 is bh-5

 

[slag]

last question.. this is labelled 2-2-2 but neither newegg nor mushkin know if its bh5 or ch5.

Ramery


Any way of knowing?

If its Bh-5,I'd rather get it than the kingston hyperx at zipzoomfly

Hell it's hard to remove those heatspreaders off the corsair! is it possible to check what chips are under only by lookig at the version and the numbers printed on the hologram? (XMS3205 v1.2 0403006 2326)

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah if you tear the heatspreaders off the mushkin mem (like i did) you lose your lifetime warranty
and it is almost impossible to get them off without bending them outta shape or even damaging the memory
so be carefull

that sound like either CH-5 or CH-6 chips or is it BH-6 one or the other
but not BH-5 for just cause the timings

I just picked up a gig of Mushkin LVL II PC3500... just in time! Im hoping to do around 235 mhz 2-2-2 @ 3.1 vdimm, but who knows

Level 1 ram

Level I uses CH-5 chips.

Level II uses BH-5 chips.

i think only BH-5 can run 2-2-2-5 at 200FSB. anyone confirm?

hardcore cooling has some memory rated 2-2-2 2.5 volts @ 200 mhz. When I emailed them they said they are OEM chips but not Bh-5 chips.

I have no idea what OEM is, but I, too, thought those timings and voltage were specific to bh-5 memory only.
