sizzla Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi RAM Guy! Plz help me, and tell me what Chips are on this RAM: Corsair XMS 3200 XL REV. 1.2 I Only found rev.1.1 which is meant to be TCCD, but if ound nothing bout rev.1.2 I have to know this, cause my mobo does not like TCCDs at all THX for ya help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Currently all of the XLs are TCCD, the 1.2 has a different PCB I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sizzla Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Currently all of the XLs are TCCD, the 1.2 has a different PCB I believe. Thats good news.... Do u think they use the Brainpower PCB? That means, they will go much better with an increase of voltage, in opposite to the old one, is that true? What Timings @ what Frequence and Voltage can I expect? Thx a lot for ur fast answer m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yes, I think the 1.2 does use the brainpower, not 100% sure. They are warrantied up to, but not over 2.9 volts. The TCCDs have ben known to hit 250 Mhz for lots of people, but of course isn't guaranteed. Highest I've heard of was something like 270 Mhz, or a bit higher, can't remember.

sizzla Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Good news again..... If thats true, i got a really nice pair of modules.... @2.8V they hit 260 with 2,5-3-3-5 absolutely stable. up to 285 with 3-3-3-8 up to 220 they run stable@ 2-2-2-5 So u think i should be glad to have got these? btw: Sry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yeah, I'd say they're pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceware Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 As some folks have discovered more voltage is definitely NOT a good thing for many PC components. In fact many Corsair modules prefer the default voltage over increased voltage. This has been documented by any number of people. In addition once in awhile a lower than default voltage works wonders... So take the over-volting hype and "hardware forum wisdom" with a LARGE grain of salt.

Wired Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 On the flip side, the old Winbond BH-5 memory (holy grail of memory some say) have been known to OC to insane levels with 3.0+ voltage, which of course shortens their life and voids their warranty. It's because at that voltage it overrides some internal resistor and lets the voltage affect the memory in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThEBeAST Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi, I bought yesterday some Corsair XMS3200C2 v.4.1 #0449023-6 and I wanted to know witch chip are on these rams ?? Thanks and regards ThEBeAST :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TCCDs have ben known to hit 250 Mhz for lots of people, but of course isn't guaranteed. Highest I've heard of was something like 270 Mhz, or a bit higher, can't remember. afaik, tccds are capable of hitting 300+ when paired with brainpower pcb... there are tons of ppl on various forums posting screenshots confirming this... most of them are using ocz el3200 rev.2... samsung's goal when they were desiging tccd's was 250@cl2.5, and to be honest i haven't seen tccd ram that couldn't do this... as for 3200c2 v4.1, they are most likely also tccd based...

Wired Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Possible, not guaranteed. XMS3200C2 Rev 4.1 are based on Infinoen Rev B -5 or Samsung TCC4 or TCC5 or TCCD and they might be single sided modules as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high5 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Possible, not guaranteed. i know, thats why i wrote 'most likely'... but to tell you the truth, my experience across various forums tells me that vast majority (speaking of 512mb modules) are tccd based... my v4.1 is tccd based also (confirmed by ramguy)... it may be a coincidence though...

Wired Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yep, he did confirm yours, however it's a different run, and as such may be different. I'd say TCCD is a safe bet though, but only Ram Guy knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say TCCD is a safe bet though, but only Ram Guy knows for sure. well, there are two more ways to know for sure: the first i do not recommend as it voids your warranty - removing the h/s... and the second one - if the ram can do 2-2-2 at 200+ mhz... cheers...

danbanger Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hi I am new here, I recently got some CMX512-3200xlpt v1.1, these don't have the brainpower PCBs correct? How far should I expect to OC with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Expect? NONE. They have the possibility of hitting over 250+ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
