TCCD the new BH5 ?

[ZL1]

Hi

guys Ive been hearing some interesting things, like TCCD chips being the first chips after the legendary BH5 to run 2-2-2-5 timmings
are they as good as BH5 ? better ?

please, Ive been dreaming of the day when you could run faster than 400-440mhz at 2-2-2-5 (without volt modding)



Thank you
Dan

what no one ? this cant be

If it matters to you I just hit 225@2-3-3-6 with some TCCD at stock 2.6v. I see these chips are rated at 2-2-2-5 at 200mhz

oh man, I feel like I aint ever hitting my dream of running cl2 ram at 1:1
🙁


PS thanks for the input, it is appreciated.

I think the OCZ stuff will do 220 at CL2 some do 300mhz at CL2.5

Turns out I had a bum batch. They company is taking it back.

No TCCD is just average till you get past 260. BH-5 could run 2-2-2 up to 250. Balistix is closer profile to BH-5 but with less volts and not quite there.

Thanks

:thumbsup:

but need high volts.. otherwise it won't even run 2-2-2 on most motherboards... i did'nt mention it because of that..

oh yes that lil detail 🙂
well here is the thing, to run 265 fsb at 1:1 Id have to boost the voltage anyway, didnt want to originally, but I guess I'll have to

what Im curious about is - can we call vx (or winbond utt) the new bh5 ? bh5 was a voltage hungry thingy as well, my 2x256 wont run 222 at 212 (even thought hey are pc3500) without 2.8v and from what I hear to run bh5 at 265 with 222 youd need nice voltages (3.3+)
about that 250 you mentioned, thats on non standard v right ?


Thanks
Dan

P.S. thinking of ocz voltage booster to acommodate the vx, good idea/bad idea ?

IMO it's 1 silly idea as the new Mobo's are cranking up to 3.4vs (ala DFI NF4)...so save the $40-50 on the device for the next Mobo or RAM upgrade and be happy with what you have. My BH6's hit higher than my BH5's with lower volts

well thing is I dont plan to change the mobo in the next year or two

The difference is BH-5 will run 2-2-2 w/ ordinary mobo voltages 2.7-2.9 up to 215-225. Yes you need 3+ to get into the 250 range.

VX OTOH won't even tun 2-2-2@200 with 2.8. Needs 3.2-3.6 Vdimm for real action.

LED answered you other Q

Wanna bet ???and if so and you indeed do then you're 1 better man than I 😉

BTW TCCD is excellent memory.. very fexible... it's the only memory that can run LL less than 210 and super high bandwidths 300+... it's probelm IMO is in the middle 220Mhz -260Mhz... there are much better offerings if you run at those speeds. Ballistix, BH-5, VX, EB etc

And 2-2-2 with moderatly high bandwidth is faster than just high bandwidth..

Zebo - Thank you !

LED - I wont bet, but thats just how my plans are right now, I dont fully upgrade that often, most of the time its just a piece here a piece there
I actually bought this mobo over a year ago and havent had much of an urge to change it since then. This was a pretty expensive thing and I bought it with the thought that I get a great board that will be with me for a long time

Thank you for the TCCD info !



Thanks

And 2-2-2 with moderatly high bandwidth is faster than just super high bandwidth..

That last part I won't swear to with your setup (p4c's and e's) but it's definity true on A64..

Hell even 2-2-2@200 beats 3-4-3@275, not to mention to start raising bandwidth on the former while keeping timings, which BH-5 allows for..
