mine seem quite good too :)
560 5-5-5-15 at a lowly 2.0V too
spotted 2x512MB Balistix 8000 the other day- whats the chance of them making similar speeds at similar volts would you reckon ?
thinking of upgrading from 2 to 3 gigs of RAM.
thanks,
Mark.

Me best cas 4 for now, vdimm 2.58:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...900mhzmmst.jpg
wow, 1300 MHz cas 4 thats impressive :up: what is vNB/vMCH to run performance level 5?
I'm tearing my hair out here. Can't get my sticks to run higher than around 560 4-4-4-12 even with 2.45v. Tried a host of different setups like 1:1, 2:3 etc but still no go. Strange thing is @ 2.1v they'll do 620 5-5-5-18. Can anyone help please?
My setup is:
Abit IP35 PRO
Ballistix Tracer PC8500 LED
1200W TT ToughPower
Edit: +2 was set in the bios for ddr voltage.
That is exactly how my second set of 8500's were. A lot are like that. Good CAS 5 sticks, mediocre for CAS 4. Try 5-5-5 around 2.5v and you should be happy. They should do around 640-650.
yup, Gautam is right. most of the D9GMH/D9GKX i have been getting for a while have been running 565ish 4-4-4 at 2.50v or less but 600MHz 5-5-5 comes at 2.10v~2.20v with ease with higher voltage making 650MHz+ a piece of cake...except on the IP35-Pro. cannot for the life of me get any kit of memory over 620MHz.Quote:

got this kit a couple months ago, just got up to testing her...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../600mhz16m.jpg
this is as far as i can go on 2.25v, but i can't get it 32m stable:(
any ideas on pushing it further? i don't know how much voltage to feed before getting into a danger level of killing the sticks. they're rated for 2.2v.
Has anyone gotten a set that couldn't even do stock?
I'm sitting at 2.2V 533Mhz CAS5 unstable. I'm seriously considering of going through the hassle of an RMA. I've decided to go a different direction for better bandwidth.
@2.2V, I can do 3-3-3-9 @320Mhz 1T
But it still doesn't seem all that stable. After 2-3 days of folding, I get the the occasional restart. I'm testing at 2T now and seeing if that gives me better results.
Is it possible my motherboard might be the trouble and not the RAM? I ran the 533Mhz with a memory divider so my FSB would stay within very reasonable values (no higher than 340Mhz).
i plan on buying some of this memory and i was wondering is there any performance difference between tracer and regular ballistix or is it just the leds
I forgot which thread it is, but one guy compared 4 kits of ballistix non-tracers and 4 kits of tracers.Quote:

Overall all are very good performers and the difference between tracers and non-tracer is negligible.

Cool thread what is the MAX Vcore on the Crucial Ballistix PC8500??? I see some guys doing 2.5v I thought 2.3v was the MAX???? I have a eVGA mobo A1 version??? Just wondering...
2.3 is the max for us evga 680i owners because anything past that has been known to fry quickly
Wow nice timing I was just about to reboot to try a test run. Over 2.3 :clap:Quote:

Ma new ballistix :)

It is not my max, my max for 2.30V (4 5 5 15) is 598 MHz but valid is corrupt :down:
Got mine a couple of days ago.
Got them running at 500mhz 4-4-4-4 2.25v 24/7
Is there anything else besides the mem volt you should think about when clocking memory?
upping the NB voltage might help.i know it did with my P5K dlx.mine were failing orthos after about 9 hours at 1000mhz,4-4-4-9 2.2v and after increasing the vNB to 1.4,they did over 17 hours.Quote:
