I recently got some Kingston HyperX, 2-2-2-6. I've heard some rumors that they might be BH-5, but how can I tell? Anyway from just within windows or would I have to take the heatspreaders off?
 
Take the heatspreaders off,Pop the clips off,take a creditcard (or anything like it) and GENTLY pry the spreader off
 
If the label is still on the RAM, look at the number. If it has an "A", then it don't have BH-5 chips (example: KHX3200A). If it's non "A", then try overclocking it. If you get a high overclock using 2-2-2-6 timings, then it's probably BH-5.
