Hey guys, from the gist of this forum, it seems that the differences in BH and TCCD are this:
TCCD can do higher fsb at lower voltages but with loose timings
BH can't do high fsb, requires more voltage but has the tightest timings
I've been looking at what kind of memory I want to buy, and I've decided on the Geil ONE series memory. It comes in both TCCD and BH flavors. (www.geilusa.com/products.asp)
Ideally, I'm gonna try to get my venice 3200 to run at 2.8ghz (280HTT x 10). so my questions are:
at what FSB do the timings for TCCD have to be loosened? (for example at PC3200, both the BH and TCCD geil one sticks do 1.5 2 2 5)
can BH reach DDR600 with the same loose 2.5 4 4 7 timings as TCCD? or does it top out below that fsb no matter what the timings are?
and lastly, is the BH on the Geil ONE sticks bh-5 or BH-6 or UTT? (even though geil calls it BH it only specifies it at winbond IC) I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
From the tests posted on the forum, it seems that BH chips keep up with TCCD despite the huge gap in FSB due to their different bandwidth efficiencies. it seems like if BH could run at 275 or so HTT, TCCD would need about 320 or so HTT. can mobo's even run at that HTT?
