I dont have X79, but I did have a set that wouldnt light up. I didnt think a single platform wouldnt light up, doesnt really make sense to me, but it looks like it. Do you have any other boards to try them on?Quote:

I actually read an article on OCN after your post where a guy said that they could be configured on another machine and then swapped over to the x79 platform. When I have the time to spare I'll give this a go and report back. If anyone else has done this with success, I'd appreciate the confirmation before I go to the trouble.
Did yours light up out of the package or did you have to configure them first with the mod utility?
All of mine lit up out of the package, except the one kit that didnt light up.
I have asus p8p67 pro and 3770k
And two kits of these new tactical d9pfj
They behave very strange though..
I can do 1866 8-8-8-27-1T 1.575v very easy with 4x4GB
1600 6-6-6-18 1.600v very easy and bomb stable
2000 9-9-9 1.6
2000 8-8-8-27-2T 1.65v
But everything above is unstable
Even relaxing as 10-10-10 or 11-11-11 doesnt help
Voltage doesnt help
I can boot 2133 and 2200 with 9-9-9 1.65v but its spi32m unstable
Does it have some known issues with my board?
I tried single,dual and quad mode too...the same result...
What kind of memory controller voltage are you giving?
tried from stock upto 1.15
Well, maybe try a Z77 board instead? P67 + Ivy probably isn't the best option for overclocking and most P67 boards were tuned for Sandy which maxed at ~2133-2250 for most users.
Try 9-9-9-24 relaxing TRRD by 1 or 2 for 2133, then you tell us..Quote:

BTW, if anyone wants to try these out, the Ballistix Tactical (the orange/goldish ones) are currently on sale at Fry's for $40, plus $4 shipping.
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB (2x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3 240-Pin UDIMM Memory, Model BLT2CP4G3D1869DT1TX0

that's cheap! one of the best memory I've tested.
That's a great price, the same kit costs 65€ in Germany, you guys in the US are really lucky. :DQuote:

if i was looking at a kit of these from newegg, is there a difference between the IC's on these three kits?

? seem to be very close to the same price, and rated speeds.
The first kit, of course, is the regular Ballistix and the last two are the Tracers and they are the same except for the color of the lights. If I recall correctly, the ones ending in RG are red and green lights, the ones ending in OB are orange and blue lights (Go GATORS!). :)
I think that they all sport the same IC (D9PFJ - see post #125 in this thread).
All of those 3 are the same IC. Those Tracers are nice too!Quote:

i already have samsung, hynix and psc. :) just after the cheapest D9PFJ's then i guess.
There were also some of the Kingston LoVo(s) @ 1.35v sporting the Micron chips, but not too long ago a member posted pics of his LoVo showing Hynix CFR ICs, so I don't know that you can count on the newer ones being D9PFJ. Best bet would be to stick to the Crucial branded modules.
I will be a very nice guy and share my Crucial tertiary timings...
They are magical, I've tried every possible combination and that's the best for stability and high clock.

can you get this kit in AU? they look really nice.
Has Crucial switched to Samsung ICs, or have the Micron low power chips gone OVER 9000?!?! http://www.thinkcomputers.org/crucia...-kit-review/3/
Are you sure it's not Micron? He didn't even show 1M at 1200MHz, only bandwidth tests and a screenshot. If I'm not mistaken I remember seeing 1200MHz CL10 in this thread.
Did you try booting yours at higher CL values?
I was very unlucky with 2 of this kits i bought 2 from the egg, one was dead and the other was a hell to make it stable, its a pitty i dont have it anymore to try on Z77
I don't know all I've tried worked fine in every system, but most I have to config it manually above 1866mhz.Quote:
