This ram is teh awesome! :up:
nice
better than some e8400s lol
hellpp me :confused:
why my ballistix tracer can't get 1200 with cl 4-4-4-12 :(....i even give it max vdimm in my board....somehow its hard to enter windows..
is it my ram is already damaged ??
thx
well 1200mhz @cas 4 was hard for the old sticks and not possible with the new single sided revision.Quote:

i used double sided Gen, :) i have 2x1gb 8500 ballistix tracer...Quote:

Nice results you got out of that kit! Though 2.95volts is really asking for trouble, but I guess you know that. Then it's even more impressive to use that vdimm. ;)Quote:

Hell Yeah,515 3-3-3-8, 675 4-4-4-15.Voltage is the max that could be given through BIOS,and that is 3.0v.On my Lanparty LT P35-T2R.
damm ! :D alex-Ro how you do that ???Quote:

i hope you got a fan on those ;) micron not makin those chips no more
see if you can run pi at that speed, alex. Also, what does memtest report for bandwidth at those timings?
Either way, that's a great result! My board only goes up to 2.55 vDimm, and no NB vCore adjustment.
What did you set nb vCore to?
My RMA just got back to me today. I sent off 2x1Gb 8000's and 2x1Gb Tracer 8500's, both old double sided D9 kits, which until they died, worked well as a 4Gb kit at 4-4-4-12 1000+.
What I got back: A double sided set of 8500's, and a single sided set of Tracer 8500's. :( I'm just about to put 'em in, but I know it's not going to work how I'd hoped.
Just RMA'ed my second kit of 8500's and they said they are sending me single sided... we'll see how they fair but I am already very tired of how often these things die, might just put them up for sale as soon as I get them.
Ive just put all 4 sticks in together, and already it's not looking too promising. I finally got a boot at 5-5-5-15 @ 945, 2.1v.
lol i havent pushed my ballistix past 2.24 yet
i can do 1200+ with 2.03v:D
965 chipset is before my time, is the mobo a limiting factor?Quote:

Well, im posting again because one of my sticks just died on me. I was running them at 1028mhz, at 2.15v. The system gave a pinstriped output on the screens, and stopped responding. I hard rebooted, and it refused to post. Long story short, I got 1 stick to work in slot #1, then tried adding sticks into slot 3. 1 stick failed, and the other two worked fine. So I guess Ill be doing another RMA. This will make the third set I have had to RMA. Im with the guy who posted a little way back.. I might just sell the sets as soon as I get whatever I get back. Im tired of RMAing parts every couple months.
finallly ! after i switch my board into DFI LP LT X48, my sticks can easyly trough 1200 CL 4 with 2.6V, :D but in again i try pushed it harder into 1240 CL4 and went stabil on 2.73V with SPI 1mb..

Very nice :up: Congrats on the 1200mhz cas4. Scary vdimm though :D

Really nice ram, not so good at cas5, but fantastic at cas4

They go very well on Cas 5,but there is a lot to tweak in the Dfi board to be able to:

Nice Monstru, vdimm ?
Hey loc.o done playing with your sticks :) ?
SPi 2.8v, Valid 3v, normal air cooling.
wow :eek: I am impressed with all the adventurous folks pumping crazy amounts of voltage into the D9s. I actually have 4 x 1gb of the double sided (older) D9GMH PC2-8500 sticks that were able to do 5-5-5-15 1240mhz with 2.15v, but they aren't being used now. This thread has sparked my interest and I may do some suicide runs. Sad thing is, that I don't want to get single sided garbage from crucial in return.
Probably the best DDR2 ever made. Pay attention not to kill them, it would be a pity to kill such good ram, as, of course, they don't make them like they used to :)
those are my thoughts exactly. currently i am running Mushkin Redlines 2x2 so the ballistix are on the shelf.Quote:

isn't that true of everything nowadays??? ;)Quote:

It depends,no one can tell you for sure.
Old Team Xtreem's also clock very good ;)
I'm about to buy Ballistix 8500 from an ebayer, I've already asked if it is double or single sided ram, and he send me the part number saying it is a double sided kit. Is there a way to figure out if its really double sided just with the pn?
16fd5 is verry good 2.03v 1200+Quote:

I've contacted with Crucial and they verified me the part number as a double side kit Thankyou MQuote:

Thanks Sam. Pm'd him last night :)
Volts Stangracing?
1.8
anybody can tell me the perfect PL that can match if it running about 620 640 cl4 ?
soon there will be a reguler OC competition in my town, and i'm thingking to bring my sticks into setup :D
what is the best vdimm if you bench it around 5-6 hours with bandwith 1150-1280 Cl4, one of my friend ussualy gave 2.8V to his team extreem, to give an ultimate stabilize :D, but with my sticks can it go lower ? thx..
7-8 n u better get a spare set just in case lolQuote:

Wow...
but you are using some cooler in the memos?
2.35v its much to use without any cooler on the tracers
i just bought another set pc2-6400 16fd5 to add to my collection :rofl:
i couldnt resist 40$ lol
i bet they do 1220+ @ 2.03v:D i'll post results when i get em
dont be pumpin 2.3v+ unless you got reverves lol
i only pump 2.3+ into d9gkx
update : pc6400 16fd5 need 2.35v to get to 1200mhz not even close to big brother pc2-8500 wich needs 2.03v
and only 980mhz on cas 4:( 2.3v
Mine need around 2.5V to run Cl4 1200, single 32mil pi stable.Quote:

Then again it depends on the rams itself. I've seen some doing it at 2.35V
Where did you get your 16FD5 ?Quote:

2.14v isn't very much. Some modules are just not binned as well, so I'd say its not abnormal at all.
Thank yoiu for the quick answer. I was just worried cause i see speeds like 1200+ @ 2.2v (maybe not memtest error free) posted and i was worried of possible defective modules.
1200 to reach u will need some decent volts, unless u got nice modules.
just make sure u got them cooled Properly
my ballistix 8500 tracers 2.4v not maxed yet at all

Sounds like my Ballistix 6400 D9GHMH kit, except I can get DDR2-1000 CAS4 with 2.2V.Quote:

I got a kit of 16FD5 8500s off ebay but they don't seem to like 1200 with any voltage on my Striker Extreme. I tried as low as 2.02 and as high as 2.35.
What timings?Quote:

5-5-5 of course. I tried tRAS of 12, 15 and 18. No go. DDR2-1150 passes MemTest though, so it may just be a limitation of this particular kit.Quote:

Tnx.:up:
Bah, if I set the VDIMM in the BIOS to anything less than 2.10V my P5B Deluxe won't even boot. I don't know how people are getting 600MHz with anything less than 2.2V. Oh well, at least my aXeRAM will run at that speed...but that's its stock settings. Pretty boring. What kind of northbridge voltages are you guys running who can get DDR2-1200 at such low VDIMM?
Are 16fd3 good ones? Sorry for the noob question but I have two pairs of Ballistix PC8500 and one is 16fd3. I'll take a look at the second kit tonight.Quote:

EDIT: All my 4 modules are 16fd3. Let's see what I can do with them with no extra cooling.
cool the ram with a fan though lolQuote:

I know the 16FD3 were supposed to be the GMH so maybe... what came before that ->?GKX? ... but I doubt that(not sure) -= - only one way to be sure :rolleyes::D;) DO IT:clap::up:

Asus boards do tend to overvolt ram, anywhere from 0.02v to 0.1v. Unless you measure it with a DMM, you have to go by software. What does asus probe say your vdimm is? If I were you I'd lower the voltage to between 1.9 and 2v in bios and keep testing. If it fails, bump it up a notch etc. Just be aware that 2v+ has killed many a D9 stick though, despite their 'rated' voltage.
I"m back running on stock speeds due to the heat. I have VDIMM set to 2.16 in the BIOS but Everest reads 2.26V :shocked:
everest is usually right might be off by 0.02Quote:

Well yeah, I was referring to the DFIs in your sig. Being able to run Ballistix at DDR2-1240 with only 2.02 VDIMM real is pretty impressive. I'm a bit leery of DMM after I killed my P5K-E/Wifi and a Dominator 6400C3 kit trying to measure VDIMM, although that was due to inexperience. I found a fairly comprehensive guide to using a DMM with a motherboard only days later :mad::doh::horse:
Has anyone tried the new 2.0v revision tracers yet-BLKIT12864AA106A?
I have a pair of crappy single sided 8500 tracers,i have to run them at 800mhz or i get lots of random bsods in windows and loads of errors on memtest86.
i got 3 sets that do 1225 with 2.0v need 2.02v for 1240 2.22v for 1300:DQuote:

I will rma these i guess,do you think i would be better off getting normal ballistix in exchange? i could swap mine for these-http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/part...KIT12864AA106A these are the new 2.0v spec,and i dont mind not having leds.
thanks
if they're anything like new rev 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 80A ics they'll clock much better, one guy on OCAU forums got his new 80A 2x2GBb kit to 590mhz 5-5-5-15 stableQuote:
