did you look on the actual chips? it should say winbond on themClayMan said:OK I just received the RAM. It doesn't have the WinBond BH-5 chips... It says
"TwinMOS
2494
TMD7608F8E50B"
Wtf is this?? do these o/c well?? if not they better let me return it for the stuff they advertised!!!
That is odd, although people DO have Twinmos ram with Twinmos 5ns chips, which is what those 'should' be and they get the same results as with the Winbond 5ns chips... Some say the chips are just stamped with Twinmos but in reality they are Winbond. I would see how they OC, call memoryx and tell them they ARE NOT winbond chips like the site says... See what they say.ClayMan said:yes i did. those numbers i gave you are directly off one of the chips.
i'm so ****ed right now!! did you get yours yet? were yours actually winbond?
Which sticks did you buy? The 256MB SAY they are Twinmos/Winbond modules... The 512MB sticks DO NOT say this. If you got the 256MB sticks then yes, I personally would demand them to exchange them AND pay for you to ship them back.ClayMan said:damn.. my mobo's not here yet, so i can't test them. i could try them on my cousin's KT333 (MSI KT3 Ultra or something) but I doubt that board can handle 200MHz anyway.
what else have you heard about twinmos with twinmos chips? i'd be really disappointed if these can't hit 200Mhz aggressive timings... (most people can go even higher) Should i Email them and demand that they exchange them?
Surely on 'replacement' items, ie, not new, you should not have to pay tax again! Check it out and for sure email/call memoryx and tell them they gave you sticks that were not what you ordered!ClayMan said:yup.. 256mb...
so should I give up on any hope that these TwinMOS chips overclock better/similar to winbond bh5?
argh, i can't be the first to get some with twinmos chips...
(see the only problem i'm scared of is that even if they pay for shipping and everything, when they send me the replacements i'll be charged another $60 for customs/taxes!!!)
