DDR1200 CL5 memtest passed 200% on 1.95Vdimm
I burned out one set of 8500 tracers using only 2.2v... so I would recommend using an 80mm fan blowing on them if you can, at minimum.
isn't the burnout a result of voltage on the pcb, not heat?
well the probleme with these sticks seems they will die even with volts lower then rated.
I got a pair of PC6400 and PC8500 tracers here just hope they will last me untill DDR3 lol, because they clock so nice:X
I haven't read through this entire thread but that I haven't seen large scale complaints about it.
Hey you guys, I have a concern regarding my DDR2 8500 Ballistix Tracers and my Abit IP35-Pro. Whenever I start up my pc and it POSTs, there are always little red dots on the screen like so. If I set my CPU and RAM to run at default speeds, there seem to be a lot more than when I have my CPU overclocked and RAM timings adjusted. I have tried both the current IP35-Pro BIOS as well as a Beta version, and they both seem to be doing the same thing.
CPU and RAM at default settings:

have you test your vga for artifacts ? make sure your vga is running artifacts free first
Looks like a vga prob to me. I'd check the dvi plug to see if it is connected properly to the video card.
I just ordered 4gb set of these. I see people are running them below rated voltage which I would love to do. Does anyone have an OCing "guide" for these or suggestions on how to proceed?
1100Mhz here, 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v :)
cant wait to get mine in. should be within a week.
Any point getting the 8500 tracers over the 6400 with a Q6600?
I've yet to tweak my sticks yet....I'm running DDR2-1031 5-5-5-15......I'm struggling to get them to the clocks I had with my P35 board, as this Maximus is has some major strap/divider instability issues...
You guys sure aren't scared to run some crazy voltage through your modules! Are you guys water cooling the sticks, or air?
I have the XTC cooler on mine.....but still.....
I'm running 4Gb also, which may limit me. So far I'm at around 9050 Mb/s for read, and ~8500 write.......could be better.
My sticks will do 600 MHz 5-5-4-9 with 2,22V... Does that seems normal? Anything below will shoot me errors with memtest :( ...
well i'm running my Ballistix 24/7 at only 2.15v with these clocks with no fan: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=290350

Well I did find something interesting... My sticks required 2,21-2,22V to acheive 600MHz with 5-5-4-9, so I was a bit unpleased with these results since most of the people could do 5-5-5-15 with 2-2,1V...
Well I tried something tonight: Try Memtest with 5-5-5-15 and see if I will get any differences...
And I got an impressive result: I dropped my voltage to 2,14V and launched Memtest and guess what... I got 250% MemTest without any errors! I'll try tomorrow with even less voltage but I am very impressed by the fact that relaxing a little bit the timings give me 0,7V less required...
Anyone noticed the same thing?
my ballistix 8500 need 2.13v for 1200+ anything under 2.2v is great
my mushkins xp2-8500 need 2.32v do do it:(
One stick Ballistix and One stick of Tracer, both are 8500 model. :D
I handpicked the best 2 of them :rofl:
1.95V CL5-5-5-15 memtest 300% passed :up:

This is what I like to see:
2,1V 5-5-5-15 300% Memtest @ 600MHz

I will test 2,05V now.
