bh-5 testing

9th February 2005, 22:37

tonight i was in the mood for some testing.
So i took out my twinmos BH5 memory and started to oc!
because i wanted to know how much they did on every voltage range of 0.05v i took out my digital multimeter and started to test.
Specially for you guys i wrote everething down!

NOTE: There is a 80 mm fan blowing right above them! Because I own a EP 9NDA3+ and the OCZ booster dousn't work on this motherboard i Vmodded it with a 20k VR!
all the test where done with super pi 1M and are super pi stable, I'm not talking about memtest stable, therefore I need to perform unwackme's burn in, so I will report later for this!
A64tweaker was used for every bench

The sticks do ~255fsb on 3.3v ( never tried lower voltage ) and the real testing begun at 3.35v! Here is the list

3.35v --- 260 fsb
3.40v --- 262 fsb
3.45v --- 266 fsb
3.50v --- 266 fsb NO increase of fsb
3.55v --- 269 fsb
3.57v --- 270 fsb ( I wanted to know on what voltage the could do 270 fsb )
3.60v --- 270 fsb NO increase of fsb
3.65v --- 271 mhz
3.70v --- 274 mhz
3.75v --- 275 mhz

I only went this far because for 3.8v i will add additonal cooling ( however the chips don't get warm ), just for safety!
This will happen tomorrow

I must say that 260 fsb on 3.35v is pretty impressive! Yet i have to add 0.4v to increase 15 mhz.

BH-6 did 265Mhz @ 3.55v here http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=get...&articID=2 58

bh-5=bh-6, the only difference is the production procede, ( slap me but i forgot the numbers ), bh-6 was produced with a larger procede and so can handle larger voltages!

whas that read by your motherboard or multimeter? If it was by your motherboad you can add a couple of numbers to that voltage, lets say 3.58 3.6v

check the link, explains all

any more results on those sticks? what brand?

187(V)URD@ · 10th February 2005, 00:20

got 2 sticks bh5 and 2 sticks BH6 , need a setup where i can bench on.
Lats owner from the bh5 did 280fsb with 2.6V (single channel).

jmke you can test mine , antwerp isn't so far from me

uhm.. check the link darnit!

damned, sorry Jmke, looks like i've read it to fast!
Does single channel need less volts for obtaining the same oc? i know you can clock higher with single channel but do you need lesser voltage?

anayway this afternoon i will try it out

a small update:
currently i'm performing the unwackme's burn in, 3.3v 255 fsb, every hour I see the gaps between the passes and errors grow bigger, currently i'm at 5h and 93 errors

Now more than 100 passes #5 error free!
You can clearly see that i have 1 bad ic, memtest86+ shows always the errors at the same range 0.1 - 0.2 - 0.5 mb!
would this be the module in dimm 1? I think so, because i've got 2 errors ar the range off ~500 mb!
for the next couple off days i will continue this burn in
