WooHoo...3 weeks stable and counting! :)
280 3-3-3-8 2.65v 5months stable and counting:D
After receiving the replacement modules, and not overclocking the system, I had to increase the VDIMM to 2.8 from 2.6.

I ran a Prime95 8 hour test and they appeared to operate fine, according to the results of the test.

The problem I am experiencing is the fact I had to raise the voltage (after 2 months) in order to regain system stability at stock speeds.
If / when I have to RMA these for a 3rd time (running at stock speeds), then the manure is going to hit the fan (can you say "lemon law" I know you can) and Crucial will refund me my money.
when did you receive your last set? i got mine 1 month and 1 week ago and they've been rock solid stable at 2.6v and will do 280 at 2.6 so far. i'd RMA again as they're bound to get it right eventually.Quote:

I've got a set of Ballistix Tracers (same as normal Ballistix, but w/ LEDs (they were on rebate at the time so I picked them up)), but when I run them at all auto settings in bios w/ 2.6 actual vdimm they will pass Memtest x86, but when I go into Windows and try to run dual Spi, Windows does a hard freeze and that is just Spi 1M. I have had these sticks sitting here for about a month after running them for about a month and I felt like they were starting to crap out. So today I decided to put them in to find out and I am getting the results mentioned. Time to RMA to Crucial or are the sticks really picky and I should try manually setting the sticks?
Note: I usually just boot on all auto just to make sure the sticks boot fine and run stock timings before I start playing with the timings. Also on all auto settings they do boot at 3-3-3-8 (i.e. stock timings).
well, i'm at 2 months steady 260 3-3-3-8 2.6v and haven't had a hiccup yet. maybe i got lucky...maybe they got the batch mix right ;)
(by the way...this is my third set from Crucial...so if yours go bad...just keep rma'ing until you get a set that are good)
Right from a long time ago... Now we know... 5B-F:DQuote:

Can do 270 Memtest86+ clean at 2.65V. More volts needed to stabilize SuperPI (2.85)...
Also could set Read Preamble as low as 4.0...
