Meaning no more premium pricing for the old BH-5; get rid of them now while you still can.:)

good point, I hadn't even thought of that, I was stil extacious with this news :grum:

sweet!

I think I'll keep mine :D

Can BH-5 reach tccd speeds?
Then maybe I gonna switch to 2x512MB BH-5 and still use them if I ever (most likely) buy a A64 setup.

not at this time no... but hopefully the production process will have been optimized for the new chips although it'll still be 175nm procuction process.

Correct me if i'm wrong but don't you need quite the voltage to get BH-5 to reach TCCD speeds? And what about the new winbond chip sightings at twinmos modules? Or is that the BH-5 discussed here?

no the chips that were hot topics were Winbond UTT wich are actually optimized CH-5 produced with a smaller production process. (some people now refer to them as CH-4)

these Winbond CH-5's are for speedpremium ddr400 but you can also find them on the non-speedpremium versions.

the new BH-5's will go on the speedpremium ddr450



yes, these chips need voltage to perform (meaning, a dfi mobo or a mobo voltmod, if need be a psu voltmod, or a ddr booster if it 'll fit. with the booster, no Vmodding is needed. with the dfi nf4's, no Vmodding is needed) but with proper voltage and good tweaking, bh-5/utt at ~260mhz 2-2-2-5 beats tccd at 300mhz 2.5-3-3-7


for dutch, dial hardewaren.be ;p

265Mhz CL2 2-2 >>>> TCCD 300 CL2.5 3-3

not an very accurate test but it gives an idea!
