I have a feeling the bios of your board is fooling you.
Afaik 1t isn't possible with Intel chipset, 1t is the command rate the mem is communicating with the chipset, so not really memory related.
I don't see how raising Vdimm will help here. :shrug:
only vdmmQuote:

Pretty good deal here

would it be worth it to buy this stuff for my next build?

Can you show a superpi run with 1t and 2t?
I'm also interested in that, as I still don't think that 1T is possible at DDR2-1200 4-4-4-4, even more at only 2.3 volt.Quote:

I just received my Ballistix from Direct Canada/NCIX and it seems like Crucial now have a new heat spreader for their product... My heatspreader are smaller on don't cover the top of the memory... Looks sick though :)
Ya know what, I didn't even notice mine were the same :) I dont have clips on my spreaders, they are just thermal taped on :p:Quote:

i just got mine :D
i gotta say i'm impressed 2.13v where my old mushkins needed 2.26v
how u like dem apples mushkin
this is only 2.26v:D my mushkins couldnt do this @ 5-4-4-12
I got a deal on Direct Canada also and I bought a few things that made it cheaper than if I had ordered from NCIXQuote:

when i got more time i'll do more tests
I wonder why your part # is different?:confused: Is that from a 2gb kit?Quote:

i have a question guys... i have this this ram and the pc 6400 version..
when i run the 8500 version on my motherboard the spd only comes as
800mhz
Can i just oc it to the stock speeds or more?
its running 550 5-5-5-15 right now but was wondering if i can run it higher since it is already rated for 533

I think the rated speeds for it is 800mhz. But you should definitely be able to get more!:yepp:Quote:

Mine are like yours turtletrax but Black/Yellow HS. P/N is 79882. :)
Im thinking of buying theese sticks.
Should i use 3 for a 80mm fan and put it over at low volt, or should I just let the heatspreaders do the work?
Please PM/email me :)
i cant do 4-4-4-4 with 2.2v and these are the best i ever hadQuote:

i need 2.45v to get if fully stable for 4-4-4-12
but 5-4-4-12 is g00d enough @ those speeds:D
I thought you guys would be running far less V for 32M. Are we talking about bench stable or 24/7?Quote:

That's not like mine anyway, I have them right here. I've had 2 pairs of 2x1GB XMS2 C4 PC2-6400 v2.1 ProMos very recently and one 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500.
My Corsair XMS2 C4 6400 did stock volts 800 3-2-2-1: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=268235
They did 540 4-4-4-4 PL6 max 32M stable at 2.3V. 650 5-5-5-15 PL6 at 2.35V 1M stable and 650 5-5-5-18 will do 32M and any bench. 2.3/2.35V 30-40 times killed them so I back off away from that now, very far from it for any run. :D http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=268262
This was 656 5-5-5-18 2.35V (quite unstable although loads Windows etc): http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=268232
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...1814609Evr.jpg
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...505-5-5-15.jpg
They did 660 max at those 2.35V volts IIRC. A quick look and yep, 660 @ 2.35V 5-7-7-25: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=268240
The Crucial do 526 5-5-5-5 at 1.9V fully bench stable. Benched 4-4-4-4 at 500 1.9V I think, not sure right now if that was the speed but definitely was the V/timings and past 850. Check my X4 9500 thread, that's all 1.9V, you have 900 5-5-5-5 1T @ 1.9V in there (although unstable).
On Gigabyte P34 DS4 they did 2.2V 1200 4-4-4-4 quite easy. This was 1200 4-4-4-5 PL5 at stock volts:
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...00-4-4-4-4.png
I benched 1M 676 5-5-5-5 and everything else I tried was 5-5-5-15 PL6 at 2.3V. Like this:
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...726/1M-675.png
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...50-726/675.png
This again was stock 2.2V:
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...4-4-4-4-45.png
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...62-4-4-4-4.png
562 because I never tried higher at those CPU clocks.
2.3V gets above 700 5-5-5-15. This is 2.35V 725 6-8-8-31: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=273859
I didn't even try to lower timings. It was a quick run just for my information. I hardly changed tRFC for any of them though because all I was trying was to see that if they would do 600 or higher 4-4-4-4 for CDT/CW testing 'cus I couldn't get high FSB on CPU. ;)
But I 'aint going to kill them as my last ones went with just 2.3/2.35V regular even with Delta 152CFM cooling, so I've not pushed more. 2.35V is max I've pushed and only after they were below subzero temps, ambient 3C, delta 220CFM spinning on them.
BTW the Corsair RAM at same settings/speeds is faster than the Crucial I tested.
Believe me, 2.2V for DDR1200 4-4-4 is absolutely awesome, especially if it's some sort of benchable.
DDR1200 or even higher at 5-5-5 timings is nothing special though, almost all D9 can do that.
Performance level has nothing to do with your memory, it's all in the chipset. ;)
At those volts 1350 5-5-5-15 bench stable is pretty good RAM AFAIK. I haven't tested more, but if someone bought them off me they could trash them all they like. I'm not bothered of what speed or timings they reach, I only run 1000-1066 5-5-5-15 at 2.1V given the choice.Quote:

I did not say Pefromance Level doesn't make any difference in performance, it does indeed but it ain't a memorysetting, it's a chipset latency or something.
Doing 7x514 4:5 PL 6 i have to raise Vmch, for PL 7 i can leave it at auto.
That's a sign it is chipset related, not memory.
Sweet!!! I wish quads weren't so hard to FSB clock :( Still learning this DFI board, but it is coming along... slowly :p:Quote:

I know this has been asked a million times, but what voltage is safe for every day use, 2.2v? Or can i give them some more?

So, you changed the heatspreaders and it gave you almost 100MHz gain?
What heatspreaders do you have now, do you have a picture? How easy was it to remove?
Very nice DDR1400 man!! :up:

Recent D9GMH is very hot but very overclockable compared with my old Team DDR667 and DDR1000, so the heatsink may help to clock my crucial.
Those volts scare the daylight out of me, it's pointless for me. After killing some at 2.2V I would never try those again on something I want to keep whether for 2GHz or 1.2GHz. But anyone doing it would obviously not be bothered enough to kill 'em.
There's a bug on Phenom with some platforms and it gives you DDR2-1400/1500/1600/1700//1800 validations and bandwidth. :D

TinTin: if you're sticks are anything like mine then 3-2-2-2-1 will be easy at 400-450 and changing tRFC at or below 38 won't be plus 1250 4-4-4-4 PL5 tWTR 10 tWTP 10. Increase any of these and you get more stability and can lower another one down.

Hi people.
My crucial 8500, came today, and just stared at 1000 cl4 with only 2.1v, so i think its very good for now.
More news, maybe tomorow.
My sticks just wigged out on me today, I was folding, and I got a BSOD. (running 4gb @ DDR2-851, 2.2v).. I shut the computer off, and felt the sticks... They nearly burned me. I Left the computer off for a while, and then booted up again, but put a fan in the case side to pull air in, almost on top of the sticks.
I ran memtest, and after is gave the BSOD it gave 58 errors before the 2% mark on only 1gb being tested. Its running DDR2-800 right now, 2.2v, and it hasn't given me any issues. I might be changing around some fan configurations, mine pulls the air from the ground up through my radiator into my case. I might do some rerouting, and pull air into the case from the front and back 120mms, and out through the bottom. It'd solve some problems...
Yeah the stock 2.2V sticks do run very hot even at 2.2V DDR2-800.
I checked it last night with P5K-Premium, it does work with a pair of normal crucial Ballistix PC8500 too for PL=4.Quote:

Hey guys fairly new poster to the forums but long time reader. I just recieved my rma'd 8500's yesterday and installed them. Curious thing I noticed when I ran Cpuz. The SPD page rates the new sticks @ EPP#1,400 and EPP#2,533 at a voltage of 2.00. Is this new stuff they shipped me that requires less vdimm to achieve rated speeds? I am running them @ 1095 2.1v right now and are stable. Anybody heard anything about this?
btw my last sticks lasted 3 months before one of the sticks crapped out on me.
Thanks for your effort buddy.Quote:

Strap= 266MHz, since it is 2:3
Dram Static Control = Disable
Transcation Booster = Enable, Level = 2 ( 2 is Performance Level = 4 at such settings)
Vdimm = 2.55V
Vmch = 1.4V, have to raise a bit to stablise the system at such clocks ;)
Here are the results as you requested! :D ;)Quote:

Thank you TinTin. :toast:
Very noticeable gains there. My Abit and Gigabyte didn't show any gain between PL 5 and 6 that I tested in EVERST so maybe it's the ASUS P35 mainly.
Abit.......is it IP35pro? The MCH bar is locked by the manufacturer except BIOS 1.1, can't be changed by memset. :(Quote:

the new ones do not have the clip like my last ones did. So yes new ones/no clip. It also looks like they used a different heat tape under the heatsinks. Looks to be thinner. Don't know how this will affect heat transfer. I'm guessing thinner means more heat tranfered to heatsink, less of a blanket so to speak.Quote:

Tonight I'm going to give it another go using memtest86+ as stability test and try starting @ 2.00v and work my way up. I'd like to see what my lowest vdimm can be @ 1095mhz 5/5/5/15 and all other secondary settings @ auto. If any of you have some advice please chime in. I'd really appreciate it.
Now this is becoming rather interesting. :)
I don't have a P5K Premium, i have a P5K-E wifi and i can't select transaction booster level 2, i was under the assumption it would be the same for both boards.
When i select Transaction booster enabled i can either choose Level 0 or 1, how many options does your bios give?
If you can only select 1 and 2 i think Asus just changed the numbers, like 0 (P5K-E)= 1 (Premium) and so on.
If you have 0, 1 and 2, something must be different and it's likely i cannot get PL=4 to work then.
PL seems to make quite a difference in bandwidth and latency, thanks for showing. :up:

Will see if i can get PL4 anyway but i don't think so, if i can, i'll report back.
Wish I would have found this thread earlier lol. I've got 2 sticks that I used to run at 1250 @2.2v, they would pass memtest every time, but after a while I kept getting C1 errors and eventually just had to replace the RAM. Now i'm just waiting on a RMA. This RAM is weird, one minute it's fine, the next you're getting BSOD, then POST errors yet it'll pass memtest all day long. Never seen any RAM do this before.
that's strange, so are my sticks...kinda having a hard time getting higher clocks at low voltages... :(Quote:

I have them at 2,1v cl5 in 1200mhz.
Of course i´ve seen very threads and toped a 80mm noiseblecker:) to certify that they stay cool.
If that's the case then you should do 2.2V DDR2-1300 easy and 2.4V should be above DDR2-1400 CAS5. Can you try this please?Quote:

I can say I do have a stick of PC2-6400 Ballastix that won't do 510 MHz 5-5-5 @2.2V
Currently running my other PC2-6400 sticks 4-4-4-12 450 MHz 2.1V
I might invest in more If I didn't have a 32 Bit OS.
I havenīt had many time to test them, sorry:(Quote:
