    What memory chips are on my memory, i just bought it second hand today. The memory is bought Februari last year, and because there is an heatspreader on it, i can't read the chip codes.

    I heard form a few people that this i bh-5 memory, and i'm a real overclocking freak so i hope this i bh-5 memory :), can someone clear this up for me ?

    Here is an image of the memory

    Corsair CMX - 512C2PRO :

    And what speed i can reach with this memory, if i have the right hardware, and with a vdimm mod on my motherboard. ?

    I thought v1.1 was bh-5, but I also thought corsair stopped making their ram with bh5 chips quite a while ago

    Well in an other dutch forum, they say that corsair stopped producing memory with bh-5 chips in Januari 2004, and this memory is bought in Februari ( The seller isn't quite sure if it's feb ). So maybe i'm lucky that i have almost the last corsair with bh-5 chips.

    Btw is it tirkcy to remove the heatspreader from my memory ? And by corsair you'll get life garantue or am i wrong ? If so, does my garantue stops when i remove the heatspreader ?

    you can get around the guarentee as long as you keep the heatspeader and if you fry it put it back on. but dont hold me to that its just a thought

    Ok, on anohter forum they say it's ch-5, because corsair didn't made bh-5 chips on pro modules.

    So i have another question, how much voltage can i punt on ch-5 ? 3.2 , or ?... And how fast can i go with it ?

    Email Corsair and give them the serial code, they should be able to tell you what chips are on it :)
    However would doubt its BH5 tbh, dont think cosair put any on the pro, maybe it is though....
