how to tell if memory is winbond bh-5

[aowen512]

i have kingston hyper x 3500 cl2 memory, but i have no idea what kind of chips it has... is there a prog similar to something like cpu-z that would tell me incredible ram info beyond what cpu-z shows...

thx im curious to find out what chips they have, and i checked with kingston, the ram i have is discontinued which would lead me to believe they are not

thx alot guys!

other than using a program, is there another way like comparing born dates like week 50, year 03 thats the date on it

using serial number etc can someone clue me in on what steps i can take to find out what chips it using like winbond ch 5 or bh 5 or utt etc


thx alot!

it is written at the end of the chip itself. you need to take off the heatspreaders to find out

It's a two step process:

1. Bump Dram voltage to 2.8
2. Set timings 2-2-2-6 / 12 (tCL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS / tRFC)

If it boots it's BH-5.
