Warning to all TE members planning to buy the above RAM. The new OCZ Pt rev 2 sticks (yeah the ultra cheap 180$ 2-2-2 sticks) that you all blindly believed is TCCD is actually TCC5. So They are 5ns chips and not 4ns chips like the older ones. Its believed that they'd do 2-2-2 @200MHz but in general clock really crappily as compared to the original TCCD. Some sticks are doing well but rmr that these are not the same sticks as the TCCD... they are rated slower by samsung! So those of you dreaming of getting cheap TCCD and running it 1:1 may strike OCZ platinum rev2.0 off their buy lists. Seems like TCCD stocks are running out sooner than expected!

Here is a long thread on it.

No wonder the price of those sticks dropped so drastically :)

I was thinking of getting that ram but now on one in US who can get me those ;(

:rofl:

ohman...hope it is TCCD for one guy i know who has got it already....hehehe
 
ya, saw that thread.
Currently nothing other than TCCD and TCC4 manage 2-2-2 and also overclock well at low voltages.
Man people better get TCCD or TCC4 ASAP.
 
So what are the current/expected viable alternatives to the TCCDs? :)

I do know the UTTs still exist, however it wouldn't fill in as an alternative to the TCCD owing to its high voltage requirement, which is the reason most people seem to be getting their TCCD sticks instead.
