As a holder of old BH-5 and OCZ VX, I recognize value of burning memory in. To take care of this memory, I found the maximum speed at 3.0v and used Memtest86+ to test. Then I ran it overnight for a couple of nights, as well as while I was away through the day.

Just one thing about this memory that makes me sure is only acceptable up to 3.0 volts. The VX proved that UTT can hold many volts, and BH-5 like volts, I have seen people pump 4 volts into BH-5 and come out well. Decided, 4v is not a good idea for everyday use.

This memory runs truly hot. When you set 3.0v or more into this RAM, a fan is required to pass Memtest86+ error free. I said in VX that RAM ran hot, this runs even hotter. All cooling required was a small fan to circulate the air around it. Without a fan don’t expect anything higher than about 230 MHz with Gold 2-2-2.

Here displayed what this RAM is capable of, even if that means pumping more than 3.0v into it. Some results got with different voltage are given below:

• 200 MHz 2.6v 2-2-2-5

• 235 MHz 3.0v 2-2-2-5

• 250 MHz 3.3v 2-2-2-5

• 250 MHz 3.5v 1.5-2-2-5

• 260 MHz 3.6v 2-2-2-5

I was able to obtain stock settings with .2v less then what RAM is set to run at. With max acceptable volts I am enabling to hit 235 MHz, but well below VX at acceptable voltage. After that I threw a fan on ram and bumped up the voltage a little higher. This RAM is simply capable of 250 MHz with 3.3v.
