Good move you wont regret it

Regarding this memory, why is my SPD rated at 2-2-2-6, not 2-2-2-5 @ 200 ???

MrRevhead

From memory, Kingston have always rated their HyperX BH/CH chips with a minimum of 2-2-2-6 for PC3200 (HyperX TCCD was 2-2-2-5 @ 400 though). For PC3500 with CH IC's they rate them at 2-3-3-7. It doesn't mean they wont run those timings, it just provides a slightly larger safety net for the manufacturer for guaranteed speeds/timings.

After all, OCZ did it with its VVX line where they were rated at 2.5-3-3-7 but some sets like mine, T_M's & Babyelfs etc could run happily 2-2-2-5 at up to 260mhz, some others maxed out at 235-240mhz @ 2-2-2-5. From OCZ's standpoint, they do not need to RMA the poor performing modules as they were not guarenteed for those speeds at those timings. A similar strategy is also used on Gold VX PC3200 vs PC4000 modules for nominal voltage @ standard rated speeds from factory, where the PC4000 is rated at 3.3v & PC3200 at 2.6v. Hope you get the drift of what I am trying to say.

I'd say speed binning the IC's arent done too strenuously on behalf of Kingston, so they are a bit conservative with their labelling of certain timings. Although I may be wrong on this.

sorry for the newbic question but is BH-5 (or replica's) still being produced, like that UTT stuff?

I have some of that Kingston HyperX BH-5 stuff also.

My DFI NF4 SLI-DR runs them nice at DDR500 2-2-2-6 @ 3.2v

I use the exact same settings as my pair of Corsair BH-5.

I vote : Get a new MB.
