V3 Ram markings

[Rifter1]

I just got a V3 3000 and it has this on the ram chips, what does it mean

Siemens
HYB39S1616OCT-6
GERMANY A E1708

and 9916 written vertically up the right side of the chips, im assuming that mean its 6ns ram? by siemens?

edit:

how well does this ram overclock?

 

[Rifter]

anyone?

Its 6ns Hyundai ram.

 

[RussianSpy]

It means good overclocking

 

[Rifter]

if it means good overclocking then why cant i go over 175? i felt the heatsink and the chip isnt even hot, its worm but not hot, and the ram chips arnt hot either, i got 2 fans blowing over the card.

The graphics core is probably max'ed out. Try PowerStrip, I think that it allows you to run the memory and the graphics engine at different speeds.

 

[Rifter]

i thought the V3 core was pretty good for OCing, and PS wont help the mem and core speeds on V3s are the same no matter what you try to do

I just got my new V3 3000 pci too and the chipmarkings are;

SAMSUNG 004
KM4132G112Q-6
Korea UFLI59KB

The PCB also sales REV D in the upper right hand corner.

Who knows how to define this?

 

[Rifter]

is the heatsink supposed to get hot? mine doesnt, i think ill get a video chipset cooler to replace the stock heatsink. good plan? and do i need ram heatsinks or wil my ram not need it?

I have seem 5 different Voodoo3 in use and all of them are very hot. Touching the heatsink would burn my fingers. Maybe the heatsink on your V3 is not getting a good contact??

Hey Rifter1, "9916" stans actually for the 16th manufacturing week in year 1999.

"HYB39S1616OCT-6" the last number indicates you what speed this module is capable of: 1000/6ns=166MHz
I have also SIEMENS modules on my V3 but they won't go anything higher than 175MHz otherwise some pixels are popping up in white color. Though the card is stable in this frequency, the speed gain is not that huge... It's on default now.
