:woot: hehe finally :D waiting to see what they can do :toast:Quote:

i just got my 667 kit back from RMA. the kit that i killed was old heat spreaders, the ones i just got from RMA are the new heat spreaders. on the S3 i was able to hit 1000mhz on 1st boot. :) S3 still playing nicely with the GMH

Nice sticks, but I'm going fatbody. :)
Do you already have them EnJoY or do you have to find some? Before getting my Ballistix I tried to get ahold of some fatbody's but nobody who has them wants to sell them and trying to find retail sticks is next to impossible! Infact do you know if anyone is still making them, theres got to be a few 92-ball IC's left somewhere? One last thing, do you have any pictures of your current fatbody's?
2.2v 1067MHz 4-4-4-12 orthos blend test stop after 3h, up vdimm to 2.25v, still running, seems stable.Quote:

I made it to 450 3-3-3-4 @ 2.55 vdimm (set in bios)

nice work irev. so i'm guessing the lower latencies will give you faster pi times?Quote:

I am going to rerun with 4-4-4-x and you will see faster pi times with the increase in Mhz i get out of the ram
that's what i figured. seems like ddr based AMD series is the last setup to really benefit from low latencies.
what's your max clock on these so far? mine has been about 615mhz. not sure if its the p5b dlx holding me back or the RAM itself.
just got my cpu in so heres my preliminary (and i mean VERY preliminary) oc results with Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC8000 2gb kit.
1000mhz 4-4-4 @ 2.3v

:toast:
will try 800 3-3-3 and 1200 5-5-5 later, dont have time now.
I have mine running at DDR2-800 at 4-4-4-12 right now, should I try 3-3-3-4 or 3-3-3-8?
What voltage would I need for that?
What is a safe voltage for ram?

Oh how I crave a bootable 400 FSB. :(
EDIT: Crap forgot to losen the timings.
I've bought 3 different sticks of Ballistix PC2-8000. The first stick's SPD says it's BW is 8000. The second said 5300 (and wouldn't run at 450MHz, I returned it to Newegg), and the third says it's 6400 (but it runs at 450MHz).
Can I trust the SPD? I'm using CPU-z to read it...
I'm running an E6600 on a bx2, FSB at 360. Ref freq is at 266, and Mem freq is 667. Ratio is 4:5 (which gives me better Photoshop performance than 1:1).
I'm running BIOS 2395.
Thanks, and I've really enjoyed all the great, informative threads on this site. This is my first home-built, and first OC.
My Ballistix claims to be PC2-6400 in CPU-Z, but in the timings table it says it can do 500mhz 5-5-5-15. Which are its rated timings.
But it says PC8000 on the tin, and mine at least are more than capable of doing 1000mhz (currently doing 1066mhz 4-4-4-16). See how far you can overclock them, that's the real test.
In case you guys did not know, the SPDs you see in CPUZ or whatever are there so the sticks can boot up on any mobo. Try to clear CMOS and see what you get when you first boot regadless of what RAM speed you have. As long as they can do 1000Mhz CL5 they have met their Advertised SPEED.
Sure, try 2.2v first, if not then try 2.3v. You should be able to do CL3 no problem.Quote:

I have one set of each of the ballistix with the new heatspreader. All feature the same SPD programming, except for the C3 modules. This includes the non-EPP profiled sticks....the difference being the EPP profile in those sticks. It has nothing to do with them booting, as the SPD should also be programmed for 800mhz 5-5-5-18. The PC6400 4-4-4-12 and pc8000 5-5-5-15 are EPP profiles, and will not show unless you have EPP profile board, or use cpu-z, hwinfo, or maybe everest.
the sticker i refer to is shown in the first post..i stole this pic from there(white sticker with "lead-free EPP"):

This is not 8000EPP but also Crucial 667 2 x 512MB kit @ 2.6V on P5B Dlx
Old good memory :D

Ah, but then it is not prudent to compare your sticks with these...the sticks this thread is about are new, and 1gb in size, to boot. 512mb sticks will put less load on teh memory contorller, and therefore, can go much higher.
Here are mine at 616mhz 2.4v on a Biostar P965 Deluxe

I am interisting with this Stick but what different ?:) :)

which better for OC perfomance ? any one can tell me Please !!!:toast: :toast:
They are almost the exact same moduels except the more expensive one (Tracer) comes with LED's on the heatsinks. Besides that they are identical (should be D9GMH)?
i just got these in today. They wont do DDR2 1000 4-4-4-12 but they will do DDR2 800 3-3-3-8 all day at 2.25v. 1000 would have been nice but i guess low latency will have to do ;)
