When you guys all get the memory up and running, post some benches here as well. I'm curious to see how the average performance of these things pans out. From initial reports they should really make a name for themselves, but it will be good to see a large number of results.

Anywho, I'll be testing these against the TeamXtreem PC4000 Micron -5B F I have on the way to me next week to see which overclocks best and which will be best for my 24/7 setup. I'll let you all know how that turns out next week when the TeamGroup arrives. :)

Crucial told me they no longer had any replacements for ballistix 400's? :confused:

Initial batches are usually good, then they start scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Ben so since TEAM will be shipping the sticks directly to us; Will they ship the sticks via the method we specified/paid for in your store?

Just asking cuz I paid for next day delivery and would be kinda sad if they shipped them to me via Priority Mail :(

Shoot us an e-mail via our store, or post on our forum... I don't want hijack this thread or "do business" here, per the forum rules :)

I just got my cronus from Team. It came Priority Overnight (the way i ordered from tankguys) I'm not happy so far with the performance. I was hunting something to beat these mushkin redline pc4000 ce-6. I guess i got lucky with the infineons. I dont have any 3D issues like the others are having. Anyway...... back to the Cronus. My Initial test failed Memtest@ 270 3-4-4-8 2.8v. I'm gonna Use Ozzi's exact timings and retry.. Will post back soon

Don't use 2.8v, I think you will be better at 2.5-2.7. 2.6v only brings about 1-2MHz over 2.5v from my tests, and over that there is no gain

Update..Used Ozzi's Timings and played around some using OPB's Timings in TeamGroups Support area.. Still no go @270 120 errors on memtest test 5. Unless Burn-In will help a ton, it looks like i'll be sticking with my infineon. Testing 260 atm will report back.. Edit.. 260 passed test 5, lowering voltage per repoman and trying 265.
Edit.. 10 errors test 5 265 2.6v
Edit 265 ok @2.7v
270 = errors @ any voltage.

This is in the neighborhood of what the OCZ FF's I tested did. Topped at 3-3-3 around 270, but I had it at 2.8v I think. 3-4-4 did no better. Can you test each stick individualy in memtest ansd see if you have a week link?

Ozzi, you have shown about 6 or 7 timing shots so far. Can you recommend your favorite/best one so far that is generally stable?

Yes i will test individually. So far no matter what 265 is tops. The Mushkin RedLine Infineon i have can hit 288 3-3-2-8 memtest and 3d stable. I got lucky with them, unlucky with teh Team.

Yeah, I'm one of the few to get a set that is 3d stable at those speeds.

I hope my set does closer to 300ish, thats whole reason I bought em :P
Tnakguys does rock though, bens da man..
since when does a manufacturer post on its own section in an overclocking forum showing benchies of their products being overclocked, besides OCZ... Thats pimp..

Good luck on the 300ish. that is what i was hoping for as well. As Usual though, the initial test results are probably from a hand picked set. Not saying that is for sure the case, its just my suspicion. No way of knowing for sure though. I hope i am wrong and everyone else can achieve the desired 290-300 range. If so i will try my luck again with another set of these. For now, i'll just keep usin mah mushkin. Good luck to everyone else.

Are you sure yours are Micron? 3-4-4-8 default sounds like UCCC. Micron is always 3-3-3.

I purchased Micron. These auto @ 3-4-4-8. I tried 3-3-3-8. I wondered the same as I am pretty familiar with micron. I held 1st place on the database for a month or so with 295ish with Ballistix Tracers. This Cronus was purchased as micron..I am not taking the spreaders off to check though.

Just finished testing each seperately. 265 and 271 :(

Sorry to hear that.. but Fourth rule of overclocking states nothing ever performs as well as you think it will, unless you get help from god.
