Why does Abit IS7 not like Ch-5 chips?

[Digex]

Why does the IC7 not like Corsair TwinX memory PC3200? I have read many places that say it doesnt like it. I cannot find Bh-5. Nor do I really want to spend more cash since I already spent alot for this stuff. I have low overclocks and I know its not voltage or heat. It has got to be memory. My friend can only run 3.2 with a 3/2 divider. Which is terrible since his memory is rate at 200mhz also. Is there a fix coming from Corsair or Abit soon? Help!!!!

Get new ram I guess..

I think OCZ uses Samsung chips

I don't think there is going to be a fix since it is only affected by the 865/875 motherboards. And it is not just the Abit boards. You should be able to sell or trade those in the FS/FT forum and pick up some OCZ or TwinX stuff and you will be a happier person.

AFAIK, no 865/875 boards like CH-5...

As the others have said, it's not an IC-7 thing, it's an 865/875 chipset thing.

Mushkin Level II RAM uses BH-5 chips as does their "promo build" series that they've had on special the past 2 weekends.

Some BH-5 modules:

Mushkin PC3200 Level II, Mushkin PC3500 Level II, Mushkin PC3200 Promo Build, Kingston HyperX PC3000 (2-2-2 latencies), Kingston HyperX PC3200 (non A, 2-2-2 latencies), Corsair PC3200LL (Revision 1.1), Corsair PC3500C2, Buffalo PC3700, TwinMos PC3200 (First Revision).
