ram oc.s better with out ram sink.s?

[curt]

i have 2x ddr1 512mb stick now ther i call speshal bga ones cus hard to find ddr1 bga chips any way

each one had a copper heat spreader on it with a lil artic silver 5 on each ram chip

an i allways seamed to have ishews (evin thow the ram could hit 266mh ddr533)
an [ther was no heat paste on any pins or conectors][nor wer the heat sink clips tuching any thing on the back of the ram]

so i get fed up haven probs an take both heat spreaders off the ram an cleaned them up

now im hitten 273mh an seams stable as ever ?????????

i allways have a fan on the ram so cookin shouldent be a worry

the hole time i have bin useing under 2.8v for the ram [ram stock speed is ddr400]

an cas timeings seam to do allmost nothing but was the same before


allso if any one knows any good programs for cheakin speed of ram cus my bios says 272mh for ram an cpu-z seas 256mh whos lieing

my fsb is at 234mh with ddr set at 233mh so i should get around 266mh for the ram ddr533

[curt]

ok all bga ram useres beware

all bga mean ddr2 an 3 as well

now i has a tiny bit of heat past on the side of a few chips just a smuge of as5

now turnes out thers 100.s of tiny pins going along both sides on the bga chip

i tryed to get a pic but ther to small

an the as5 was conecting or resisting some of then

cleaned it off dule chanel is workin agean

?

[rhythmeister]

I don't understand either...and I'm not gonna comment on grammar or spelling again in this forum but I wish I could help, I really do!

[Steevo]

Wow.



They make a free spell check for firefox.




But. AS5 is capacitive, and could have done much more damage. I just reset the heatsink on my graphics card and used MX1, I believe it is non conductive, and much safer to use on close components.

I prefer Arctic Ceramique

[Darknova]

I followed the first one, and all I got from the second was that he got some paste on the pins....

I have as of yet to use it. Just non conductive? MX1 spreads like shit, so it kinda sucked trying to get a coat on the mofset heatsink, it was the one I redid. I ended up putting a thin film on then little drops of paste on each mofset.

[infrared]

yeah, it spreads a lot easier than MX1. I hate that stuff! Don't get me wrong, it works great, but the application of the damn stuff is a nightmare!

[curt]

ok it was as5 an by bga i mean [ball grid aray] like most ddr2 an 3 chips

an the as5 wasint on the pins or balls per say

but some as5 was smugged on the side of the black plastik chip i thout nothin of it

but ther ar tine pins/conecters on the side like where they would be on a older style chip

ill try to get a pic

so i cleaned off the smuge with a pipe cleaner an a old tooth brush

stoped crashen so far

i frist started usen as3 then 5 its a bit thick but after a few run times it settels in [ocz ultra ] is simaler an works about the same as as5

ok i found this pic the lil pins im talkin about i curculed but the ones on my ram ar much smaller an ther alot more but thats where the thin smuge of heat past was

[erocker]

Hey Curt, if you are applying AS5 to your memory chips (which I would never do), only apply a very very small amount to each chip and never get it on any metal parts. Otherwise just use the ceramique, or find some thermal conductive tape.

[curt]

yeah i know not to get it on pins resister an such

just never knew theas pins on the side of bga chips wer evin there

my ram only has the pins on the sides of the chips none on top or bottem

an the heat spreaders look just like to copper ones ocz uses with out the logo

so i guess redo them with less paste

[infrared]

if you've already applied the paste and it's working ok, stop re-doing it!! You've got more chance of of damaging them.

[tigger]

not cutting in,but my 533 ddr2 is at 350mhz,its corsair value.no heatspreaders on 'em.

[curt]

it wasent workin well hench y i took them off would be kinda dumb to take them off if it was workin fine

iv left them open no heat sink an i think im guna leave it cus i plan on buying a set of ocz.s low latincy sets allso cheaking into the ocz vx series voltige extream so ill just wate till i get thows 2 1gig sticks is my plan

or a set from geil that rated at 1.5 2.2 6 at ddr400

an put this ram in my #2 system
