Revisiting Corsair XMS3200C2v1.1 BH-6 @240mhz at 3.18v

[eva2000]

Well with Corsair and OCZ announcing their new ram based on Samsung TCCD 4ns, XMS3200XL and OCZ PC3200 Plat rev2 rated at DDR400 2-2-2-5 and 2-2-2-8 respectively, I decided to pluck out my good old Corsair XMS3200C2v1.1 winbond BH-6 ram to do some comparison benchies

Using same additional ram cooling as my OCZ PC3500 Plat LE BH-5 at http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=299646 I proceeded to revisit Corsair XMS3200C2v1.1 BH-6 (batch/lot number 024151 = week 41, 2002).

2.8C SL6Z5 M0
Abit AI7 17bios
128MB Gigacube 9800PRO Extreme
80GB WD 800JB
550W Antec TrueControl PSU

ram cooled with 60x38mm delta 50cfm fan strapped to ram using masking tape as outlined here http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=299646

According to infra-red thermometer, heatspreaders are a cool 26-29C under memtest #5 looping load (most stress you can put of ram more stressfull that anything you can run in windows!)

Notes:
1. cpuz on AI7 reports wrong cpu/ram ratio when NB Strap 667fsb is used and swaps 1:1 and 5:4 around.

2.To run unbuffered you need to go to sandra mem module -> options and uncheck 9 boxes listed in my unbuffered screenie link below

That is a pretty nice OC you got on that RAM.

So when is this new ram going to b out? (the new samsung that is)

 

[eva2000]

These sticks are awesom. Mine can run 250 2-2-2-6.

Suma.

 

[eva2000]

yup they sure are mine do 240mhz at 3.18v so if i had 3.5v who knows what they'd do!

 

[Suma]

240 I can do with 3.3v, but I think it's my other memory that needs voltage, it's a Kingston Value Ram with also BH-6s.

I can try the Corsair alone, and see what it can do.

Suma.
