Wow, I got my friend a set of those and a set of the tracers for myself :)
Do you guys all use active cooling on the chips? I can get it stable @ 600 5-5-5-15 with 2.2v on my p5k Deluxe...
The ballistix are damn hot! Will active cooling (3 x 50mm fan) result in a little wonder for me? :P
It wont hurt thats for sure. I never use me system without cooling for mem.
First time test, Don't need mem cooling ei ei :up:Quote:

Awesome results BTW caesarean :up: I will try with less vdimm this weekend :)

Finally finished testing all pairs on Asus P5K Deluxe 0311 bios. I can now say all pairs are pre-tested and validated :D
6x pairs of 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (3 tracer sets + 3 non-tracer sets)
Results are as follows:
Crucial Ballistix non-tracers PC2-8500
- Each pair non-tracers are more consistent in overclocking than the tracers pairs.
- Didn't standardize the 4-4-4-x tests with the non-tracer pairs until later into my testing with 5-5-5-15 and subsequent Ballistix Tracers arriving.
-----------------------------------------------
Pair #1 & #2 & #3 (heatsink spreaders intact)
- 2.20v = 510mhz 4-4-4-9 2-25-2-2-4 (very tight subtimings need more vdimm)
- 2.45v = 551-561mhz 4-4-4-12 3-30-3-3-8
- 2.45v = 600mhz 5-4-4-9 3-25-3-3-6

-----------------------------------------------
Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500

-----------------------------------------------
Seems overall, the Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 have a 10-20mhz higher 4-4-4-12 overclock then non-Tracer pairs and slight better upper max 5-5-5-15 or lower vdimm requirements as non-Tracers.
i just got a set of tracer 8500s.
so far 500mhz 4-4-4-10 2.25V (2.26V measured with fluke multimeter).
does not run same speed/timing at 2.15.
p5b deluxe, vdroop modded. 3.6 ghz, 400fsbx9.
going to try for higher speed tonight. maybe 600 4-4-4-10 is possible with 2.4V.
good news!!
2.45v, 400mhz, 3-3-3-8 is orthos stable
0.005V droop measured by multimeter.
will update on 600 mhz.
aiming for 5-5-5-15 600 mhz, lowest volts.
BallistiX PC8500 2.2V 602 MHz 5-5-5-10 SPI32M stable

Can u share your bios settings?
i cant pull off 600 5-5-5-15 2.25v orthos stable for over 20 minutes. 400 3-3-3-8 is ok at 2.4 orthos stable.
gotta reinstall my os for superpi.
very nice :up:Quote:

My kit of these came in the other day. Unfortunately, without a processor I can't test them! It's killing me!
Good job me friend :up: Im glad you found yourself a good set.Quote:
