Can anybody give me the list of names of chips used on corsair value ram since
only corsair xms series chips list is given on many forums.
 
Valueselect uses the cheapest DDR400 chips that are available at any particular time... varies from hynix d43, winbond, samsung tccc, mosel vitelic, elpida.... basically whatever they get for cheap :P. NOT recommended.
 
Are samsung tccd, hynix d43 & hynix d5 & winbond chips good?

Can anyone arrange them from best to bad.
 
he said TCCC not TCCD .....

anyways in mine opinion

TCCD >> Winbond(depends upon how much voltage options u have) >> Hynix D5 >> Hynix D43

you forget tcc5 and Micron chip also :bleh:

Well if you are classifying samsung TCCD better than Winbond,only on the basis of high speeds it does,then i think you are being fair here.
I think both are equally good.

TCCD is best @ loose timings high frequencies and Winbond is best at low latencies lower frequencies.

If i remember correctly, some PURE BH-5 have done 295 @ 2-2-2-5.I dont think any TCCD is capable of doing that.

Who would you rate as best ?
Also BH-5,even if it needs more voltage,it doesnt need as much as UTT needs. UTT is NOT always = BH-5 so pls dont mix both...:)
 
^^On basis of pure speeds, D5 will do more than BH-5 on average. However that doesn't make it a better chip. BH-5 is probably the best memory chip ever.
 
EDIT : If its speed and low latency, then Winbond will obviously rule, provided the voltage options. But TCCD has the advantage of clocking really good speeds ( at looser timings ) at lower volts though.
 
I am not saying Winbond is the best,i am just saying that TCCD and BH-5 both have their share of advantages and disadvantages.So i would consider both to be equal.Although i have a lil bit soft corner towards BH-5.
And i shamelessly admit it....heheehhehe

Did u check this list ?

Corsair Value would just be waste of money IMHO. TwinMOS and Transcend, which are priced lower than the Corsair perform much better in the Value segment.
u can say that again I used corsair 3200PT which is basically value ram with a platinum spreader, and found the transcend equally good....

Thats why I am selling corsair but not my 3200XL's...:P

corsair is very reliable though and with 2 GB (now all my DDR400 PC's have atleast 2 GB) things are zippy

How right you are :D
remember me saying that 2 gigs of XL's would beat 4 gigs of normal RAM...some disagreed, well I stand by what I say....

I have used 2 gigs of 3200XL (512*4) and 4 gigs of value (2 GB corsair, 2 GB transcend) all in dual channel (4*1 GB)...

The application was AVID (I did the experiment in Jabalpur on the 28th of december all night)...and the 2 gigs got the job done faster...rest all was the same...

PC used - 3.2E, 875P board, leadtek 6800GT, aud 2ZS, 160GB samsung SATA

encoded from vcd to dvd qual....and from HDTV dvd to 720p... 15 minute movie clip....

Didn't do as a benchy just to check my own facts...

the XL's were faster by around 9% :clap:

thats right darky but still TCCD is best for who don't have DFI :) .... and runing at those apeeds 24/7 is not possible cause running at those speeds ram will take at least 3.5-4v and will generate a lot of heat ...... i think 250-260Mhz is the sweet spot for BH5 ...... but still even TCCD can't do that speeds with 2-2-2-5 ..... so i think for tight timings BH5 is best(considering u have DFI) and for sheer speed TCCD ..... but i always tilted towards TCCD .... :)
 
^^Simply put, TCCD is way better for regular use whereas UTT/BH/CH is better for extreme overclocking. UTT is better again if you wanna use 4x512 as reaching high HTT with 4 dimms is incredibly difficult. But then 2x1GB of ballistix will own 4x512 UTT as well.
 
all u ppl got me wrong 2 buy me3 twinmos ddr400,& the same lot denouncing thje latest twinmos,which i bought

i dunno why?
 
Well amount of memory will start to matter when you have application that can take advantage or needs more memory.

ANd mind you BH-5 does not always need more than 3.4volts to clock good. I have seen BH-5 clock well at around 3.1-3.2volts.

And tccd with loose timings but near 300Mhz will be matched if not outperformed by BH-5/UTT at around 250-260Mhz and tight timings in terms of memory bandwidth and performance.

Its tricky business picking memory.

If you have DC system and intend to use the DC properly for multitasking i would say get 2GB value ram rather than 1GB performance RAM. If you are running multiple apps at a time then you need more memory than better memory.

As far as corsair value series it can be anything like said by others. Also dont go buy yourself XMS pro hoping to get tccd. Switch took some pics and it turned out to be CH-6. Checkout the version no of the XMS pro, and verify that with the memory database before buying.
 
Value Selects are basically draw of luck. Can give you decent performance at a lower cost. Not a bad deal unless you are an avid overclocker. From the user feedbacks @ Newegg, it seems to be quite liked by the end-users.

I personally managed stable 250 FSB with my P4 2.4C and Corsair Value selects. Screenshot attached.

@ Count_Down, what speed is the memory running at ? U haven't posted the SS of the Memory tab. Pls. post that.
