What voltage is your vdimm set at? Im trying to get my 4x512 of OCZ PC4000VX Stable Seems to crash in games, but passes memtest. - Im going to use your settings as a reference if you don't mind.
And what motherboard are you using? If its a DFI Nf4 what bios?
Ive just got my 2x1gb Ballistix kit, and so far im happy with it.
They ran straight out of the box at 250, 3-3-3-8 2.8v, Im now upto 260 3-3-3-8 2.8v and they are still perfect. I tried a cheeky boot at 270 and it was a no-go, so I may try and drop the timings to the default of 3-4-4-8 and see what that does.
Anyone able to share what BIOS settings they use for ALL the mem timings with these 2gb kits?
Are you guys running 1T with those sticks cash and vapor?
yes mate :)
2.8v
3-3-3-8
1T
265mhz
All settings in Bios are at the "Optimized dfault settings".. so I think I have alot of tweaking left in her... I just wish I knew what they all meant!! :(
I cannot seem to get the System to boot with the more relaxed timings of 3-4-4-8 strange as these are the default timings yet they only seem to run at 3-3-3-8 ?? Weird!
I shall try and update the bios from the 310 Official I have atm and see if that makes any more difference.
Mine's the exact same way, just I've been using 2.6V at 260 3-3-3-8. I know theres a lot of stuff there thatll help, just don't know what it means or what itll do for the OC. I'm using 623-3, orange slots (yellows won't boot AT ALL--not even post).Quote:

OK my Ballistix 2GB is topping out Memtest free @ 245, but it will do it at 2.5,3,3,7 PAT enabled, but not 1mhz more even at 3,3,3,8 :(
SO think I need to tweak something (P4C800ed / Dothan740).
Might be BIOS though.
A quick question though, I ordered a 2GB 'kit'. They cam togtherer in a box, but as seperate Dimms in anti-static bags. I would have thought they would have been like Corsairs TwinX kits, together in some packaging ?
i have the same issue with my 1gb crucial value stick.. 3-3-3 works better than 3-4-4, 3-4-3 or 3-3-4 :confused:Quote:

Phew- i was a little dissapointed yesterday with these, but now I'm happy :D
thinking about it though, i've decided that the OP made a BS thread, but we can't really see it anymore, so yeah.. :p
300mhz seems really unlikely
Right out of the box....does burnin help Ballistix?Quote:

Can't believe this thread is still going. Benching at 300 is not a problem dude. Here are some pics for you:Quote:

Hey NinjActionJeans,
Nice overclock. What is your CPU Speed? 2400MHz is my guess.
Is that Crucial Ballistix memory? Why are you using HT X 2? Why noy HT X3 = 900MHz.
Is that the plain ballistix or tracer.

yeah, that sandra shot is definitly more convincing, thanks man..Quote:

What volts are you at?Quote:

i do recall him saying 3.0v in the original FM threadQuote:

Maybe it's 2T? Please post a SS of all the settings :D.
the bandwidth is low coz his CPU is lower... I get 7400 with my cpu at 2.9ghz and the 3-3-3-8 / 260.
Ninja, please tell us all the BIOS settings you have for th ram.. starting from the top and moving down to the bottom!
Thanx a million mate,
Yes, anyone that has Crucial Ballistix or Crucial Value 1GB sticks post your DFI NF4 DRAM settings for us. I have two sticks of the value on its way from Newegg i'm going to try out. I'm hopeing for maybe 250Mhz 3-3-3-8.Quote:

those are some nice results, perhaps its time to jump ship to crucial

Please check out the new 2x1GB/1x1GB OC Database I've created with the help of ozzimark. If you have results, I'd love to have them for the database.
