Just thought I'd post some results after playing with my Ballistix for some time now. I hope these settings help ;)
These are the tightest settings I can use at 284mhz and produce the best sandra bandwidth. I'm running at 284x12 on Fx57. (optimum OC for processor not highest OC obtainable on memory)
Using 6/2 drive strenghts, 4708 tref, 2.8vdimm

nice FX ya got there
Just for comparision, same settings as the previous post with FX57 using X2 4400+ @ 2840 10x284

yeh but the clock for clock on cpu makes a HUGE difference. try running the fx at 284x10 if you will.

I thought it might be helpful since alot of the screen shots posted in this thread are of higher mhz with looser settings.
I'll be at my other house tonight and I'll run the FX at 10x284mhz just to see what the difference is, but IMO it will be 200mb/s. Thats roughly the differnce I saw between my SD and the X2 4400+ at the same clocks with TCCD.
Aight, thought you were smarter than that lolQuote:

That pqi is doing pretty well, do you have a link for it with full specs please :)Quote:

i take the photo this afternoon ;)
DltApS....those PQI are CE-6.
Come get some Ballistix Powar!!! 300 @3-3-3-8 on X2 4200+ :D :D :D

That Enjoy guy is pretty busy I'm sure he'll update it soon. Congratulations on being being number one. :thumbsup: Memory controllers on the Opterons are looking good. :)Quote:

Mine aren't added either :(
ya have to pm Enjoy for them to be added IIRC :)
My pc is down, so I'm on my brothers laptop for the weekend. I'll be putting in a new mobo later this week, so that is probably when the db will be updated. I apologise for the delay.
anyone else have the Ballistix 2X1GB and an X2? Im having a very difficult time getting them to run 1:1. My San Diego would do 1:1 no problems with 250Mhz 3-3-3-8 1T buy my 3800 X2 (E6) wont do it. I have to run 166 divider to keep it stable with 2.8v.
EDIT: Is there any way to change the Max Async Latency and the Read Preamble so that it boots up with a certain setting? (K8N Neo 2 Platinum)
Enjoy please post my results... Took me a while to get there.. :DQuote:

Hey all
I don't think we are doing a good job by showing screens at very high HTTs together with a Super PI 32M screen... Most may have found errors in Memtest86+ tests #5 or #8. So I would suggest that for the rank we should include some screens from Windows Memtest.
Program link is here and you have to run 3 or 4 instances to stress all your memory.

I don't want to pass to other people reading these thread the false image that these Ballistix are miracles, so lets be real please...
Amen MM. A quick look at the top ten reveals Crucial is king without any serious challengers on the horizon.
@ RafaDel - I don't think anyone is going to change the rules of the thread after dozens of posts. If you want to see a list that includes windows memtest start your own thread. Maybe you could also include a bandwidth list or incorporate that into the list of results. XS members can vote with their feet (posts?) and if a lot of members share your feelings, I'm sure it will be stickied. 2gig rigs are so hot right now, it could suport a lot of threads. ;)
I've run Memtest on my Ballistix many times at DDR600 with no errors. Also, as many people have found, Memtest does not guarantee Windows stability. Leave the rules the way they are.
Gave my Ballistix one last shot at benching, this time focusing on lowest 32M time. Seems stable to me. ;)
