Lt_Chad Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Why would someone want to know what IC is on their chips? What difference does it make if the chips spec out the same for a given model? Thanks, Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Multiple reasons: 1. Memory controllers nowadays don't like dealing with different ICs on the same rig, and won't run stable when you attempt this, although it is possible. 2. Certain ICs are known to overclock better than others. Example: Samsung Rev. F TCCD, Windbond BH-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
