Nice! I knew we're gonna see closer to 270Mhz in 3D with those :) Can you post bigger screenies for us, with A64Tweaker and voltages? Did you get it from the store?
You're really hooked up on G.Skill, aren't you? :lol: Just grabbing whatever they release...

But I'm not confident in the Ballistix; if it doesn't respond to a new fan, it's HV for me.

These are most likely the same as Xtreem Cronus I/A, and pretty much luck it seems as to what OC you can get out of them. But Team's Infineon's are are alot cheaper in price compared to its competitors $220 vs $270 for G.Skill or $300 for Mushkins. Not that I am a big fan of Team; I was kinda dissapointed I didn't get OBP clocks out of mine, but that was my stupidy for not researching and believing marketing hype.

As told him in italian in our forums....

or he's lucky, or his cpu ram controller and/or his mobo is GSkill-friendly and lucky...

or I don't really know....always about 5 mhz above average.:D

good numbers anyway

I just wondering if extravoltage and death risk is sufficient to gain 5 mhz.
Good for benchmarks and OC report....I'd go on safer roads and lower voltages.....

my only displeasure is DFi Ultra/Sli can't go lower to 2.5 or 2.4V to see what happens

Sorry for translation, you won't understand anything, but you can look at pics :)

Great review glad i bought the HZ's tho (hmm spelling ?? tho though ? im lost)

i just got some of these. the serial number started with 0606 so its a few weeks newer then the 0603 ones ive seen reviewed.
just wanted to add that my finding are virtualy identical. 270 will not even run bios memtest. 265 studders in 3dmark2003. voltage, relaxed timings gain nothing. so im running it at 260 for everyday use with the dfi settings given in the gskill section of this forum.
all in all its only $220 now....a far cry from the dead tccd that it replaced but it seems to have respectable proformace for todays memory choices. the new g.skill heatsinks look nice too
