$104 shipped for twinmos SP
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820218405

aren't they both UTT?

crimedog · Jun 17, 2005

yes but it's not binned as well. if you have the budget i'd get the mushkin redline or ocz gold or g.skill gh all day long.

Steve's trying to find out the maximum VDimm for OCZ Value. Any idea how many volts you can push through Twinmos SP and still be able to RMA it if it goes south?

Sucka · Jun 17, 2005

Whoa, is that Value still the "VX" stuff? I thought they called it "Value VX" and it was rated at 3-4-4-*?! I remember my set was rated at that...it was horrible too.

Otter · Jun 17, 2005

I'm not sure if it's "Value VX", but now that you mention it, I read somewhere that if it doesn't have a W in the part number, it's not UTT.

I think this is the ValueVX. $113 shipped

Neither of those sticks is warrantied past 3v. This is value ram people and should be treated as such. The TwinMOS ram is UTT (right now mostly bh-die).

greenman100 · Jun 17, 2005

well someone on another forum has that OCZ value and claims it's UTT.

I don'tneed ultra high speeds, 225 2-2-2-5 is perfect for me

is it worth $85 shipped?

theMonster · Jun 17, 2005

I'm paying a lot more to get pc4000 that'll do 2-3-3-5.

What have they been tested to? Just be weary, my Value was CRAP.

I would pay about $120 for the Mushkin blues at frys since those do better than alot of the other value ram available. Also do you have the volts to make some UTT fly?

have 1gb of OCZ Value RAM. It has UTT chips on it. I've had it run 5-2-2-2 with 3.0v at 210mhz. Never went further, it was just in a dual Xeon setup used for folding. No need for a crazy high FSB for folding.

I have up to 3.3 available, and I only need -2-2-5 at 225mhz or so

apu318 · Jun 17, 2005

2-2-2-5 @ 240mhz is fine for me as well. Mushkin BH-6 @ 3.2v.

I've been considering those, but I've heard a couple reports that they don't OC as well now as they did before Mushkin came out with redline. That would make sense if all the best chips go into the high performance product.

burningrave101 · Jun 19, 2005

For cheaper stuff i would go with the TwinMOS Speed Premium but if you want the best UTT-BH i'd go with OCZ PC3200 Gold or G.Skill GH.

I tried once. I got RAM that only ran CAS 3 on 3.8v.

Its not worth the gamble. Especially when you can get a guranteeded 250 2-2-2-5 for $160.

OCZ Gold or VX?

PC4000 GOLD VX.

Doing a little advertising? By the way that ram had done some amazing stuff you might start bugging fishy.

By the way the Mushkin Blues seem to have come back up again becuase Mushkins handled the initial rush of redlines however you still need to know that the blues are untested.

With the right amount of voltage most any UTT-BH will do 250 2-2-2-5. With some it just takes more voltage then others. You also need to make sure you burn the chips in good because it really helps with high voltage chips.

why pay more?
