Speeds/timings for BH-5 memory

[FPSguy]

How fast will Buffalo BH-5 typically go at 2-2-2-5 on a P4 motherboard with VDIMM set at 2.8 (the max for my IS7 motherboard)?

If anyone has charted how fast the memory usually goes at different timings, I would love to see it. I recognize of course that Buffalo BH-5 DIMMs do not all behave identically. I just want to get a sense of what the averages might be.

man, that would make a decent post like....

bh-5's

200 mhz : 2-2-2-5 2.5 volts
233 mhz : 2-2-2-6 2.6 volts
etc...

someone should do that! 🙂

but then again i think there's too many variations between boards that it'll be too hard...

for example,
i could only get my kingston hyperx bh-5's to run 2-2-2-6 @ 240 mhz 1:1 with 3.45 volts on a p4p800

on my shuttle an50r, i can get 250 mhz 1:1 with 3.45 volts with 2-2-2-6 timings

yeah i suggest just using 2-2-2-6 timings and atleast 2.75v (2.85 if you can)
you should get atleast 220 with most BH-5 sticks
250 is about the highest anyone has gotten with these
some can barely hit 217

Go to xtremesystems.org and you'll see a lot higher speeds than 250. There are a few that hover around 300 there.

yeah but it certainly isn't the "norm" to get those speeds with these chips
