kouch said:yeah sorry dood, ch5 is a bit disappointing compared to BH-5, good luck with the oc though.
Gautam said:CH5 will not do 2-2-2 99% of the time, no matter how much voltage you give it.
That's exactly where I ended up with my CH5.Highlander said:Have some CH5 in the form of OCZ EL 3500 in this infinty running 2.5,2,3,11 @ 233 fsb on 3.0v fully stable. Memtests fine to ~ 240 fsb as well, but fails prime after 20 mins
Chevelle said:I had mine in my NF7-S 2.0 running at 230FSB CPC off 2-2-2-11 3.0v 1GB (2x512mb) Buffalo PC3200 CH-5. I'll try higher once I get my Infinity, cause I killed the NF7-S .
Odie812 said:All due respect to Gautam (truly), I had an exception.
My Mushkin Level One PC3500 Did 235FSB at 2-2-2-X with 3.2 Volts. I never checked under the heatspreaders out of fear of fubaring the IC's, but they could have been dud BH-5's that were made Level One's. Either way, I assume that they were CH-5, and they were impressive. I accomplished those clocks on my XP-Mobile chip with my Ultra Infinity.
Gautam is right, however. 99% of the time 2-3-3-x is as good as they'll get. I had Buffalo CH-5 that wouldn't do anything faster than 2-3-3-7 regardless of voltage/tweaking. You might be able to get your sticks to do 2-2-2-x at 200mhz, but I wouldn't ask for much more than that. Good luck.
Cheers,
