DDR433 HyperX or Twister DDR433

Rabbi · Dec 22, 2003

Hi,
I'm a bit of a memory noob, so all advice is welcome

Does anyone know if either of these modules comes with BH-5 chips and is compatible with an Abit NF7-S motherboard?

Thanks in advance!

You can't really be sure in advance...

My personal preference is the HyperX from Kingston. But I do not know Twister, nor their usual quality.

Cheers, Flix

I think the chance of getting a KHX3500 with BH5 is pretty slim nowadays, but why not go with the KHX3200?

Don't think Twisters ever had BH5(correct me if I am wrong).

Twister is crap so get the Kingston. The CH-5 chips should run great on your AMD rig

Kingston KHX3200 (BH-5) 5-2-2-2 even 4-2-2-2
Kingston KHX3200A (CH-5) 5-3-2-2 max !
, both are working just fine in NF7-S (2.0) with Dual Chanel, 2.6 V

Twister just fine too DDR 400 = 5-3-2-2

Twinmos ussualy cheaper, got the money !!! KINGSTON !! no doubt

Thanks for all the feedback

nicotine, I can buy either KHX3500K2/1G (DDR433) or KHX3200AK2/1G (DDR400) HyperX modules... by what you said I think the DDR400 modules are CH-5 and DDR433 modules are BH-5... is this right?

Also, what is the average overclock each chip (BH-5 & CH-5) can do?

I want to run my NF7-S Rev.2 & XP2500 at 230 FSB if possible... Is it likely either of these modules will do that at 2.8v or less and tight timings?

"A" means CH-5.
I'd try to look and find a Non-A module, reffering to the 3200 ofcourse.

Suma, does the "A" rule apply to all speeds with regard to which chips will be on the module?

I can get KHX3500K2/1G (DDR433) modules... these are not the "A" variaty as you can see, does that mean they'll have BH-5 chips?

I have now found another options, 512MB sticks of DDR370 HyperX. These don't come in a Dual Channel Kit in my area, how likely is it that they will run in Dual Channel with no errors?

My options are below:
2x512 DDR370 HyperX (KHX3000/512)
2x512 DDR400 HyperX Dual Channel Kit (KHX3200AK2/1G)
2x512 DDR433 HyperX Dual Channel Kit (KHX3500K2/1G)

Which of these would be the best choice for 230+FSB, Dual Channel, and tightest timings?

DDR433 HyperX or Twister DDR433
