from what i hear, these chips don't respond that well to alot of voltage.Quote:

To answer a few questions Ive seen posted here - this my own personal experience.
The PC4000 does not like voltage, the PC4000 EB will react to more voltage however 2.9v is the highest Ive gone.
As far as heat the EB are not nearly as hot, mine are cool to the touch at 258, 2.7v. The PC4000 was hot even at stock settings, so the EB are in fact much cooler running.
The EB scale where the PC4000 does not. I can run DDR400 - about 420 2-3-2-6 (havent really played with anything but cas) and DDR500 - about ddr550 2.5-3-2-7 (which I think is very respectable for 2 x 1GB running 1T). PC4000 would not tighten more than their stock timings and dropped cas below 3 resulted in immediate errors.
The only issue I have with the EB is the memory controllers feakin' out. Using a 3700 San Diego I can run up to 260 Mhz and still be 3d / gaming benchable. However I can Super PI 32m and memtest upwards of 280 Mhz - its not the memory it's something with the memory controllers just like liking taking these too high in 3d apps. Using my Venice I managed 267 Mhz, 1 more Mhz and 3d / gaming benchmarking would just result in a freeze. I have reports of the FX chips going 275Mhz and higher...so this is all dependant on the memory controller.
Im using the orange slots for mine.
Hope this answers some questions till some reviews get posted. Ours should be up mid next week.

What color slots on the DFI LanParty are you guys running these in?
Whas the difference between those?
I edited the above, but Im in orange.Quote:

Hmm I'm in yellow right now, whats the difference between them?
I am thinking my memory controller is crap. I cannot run 3-3-2 at 250mhz. 3-3-3 is stable but I cannot overclocking past 270 (somewhere a little lower than that) or it locks up in memtest and reboots.
I am thinking of buying a new CPU. Any core in particular that can handle 2G better? or is it luck of the draw..
more results from anyone yet ?
As long as you don't need to the upper vid percent multis.Quote:

With OCZ you can normally assume that the non-highend sticks will not go much higher than specified.Quote:

The -2 BIOS series either works really well on your board, worse or just the same. The yellow slots and 704-2BT BIOS work best on my 2 boards. Others report the orange slots are best. This depends largely on board revisions it seems.Quote:

Mine wil be here 2mo :)
gettin my 2 sticks monday from atacom :D
:woot: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Found a review on these sticks at Anandtech:

Suprised they didn't make comparison with Ballistix PC4000, only PC3200. Surely a true enthusiast review would recognise these two as the frontrunners...Quote:

looks like i'll have to give gigaram a call again and see what they offer
Here’s some of my results from this memory, seems to be pretty good stuff :)

This was what I first tried booting to for fun, its stable for a SPi32 but wasn't for 3D so i had to try something different.
http://www.unstableoverclock.com/u/r...4000eb2gb2.JPG
This is what works for me 3D stable.
I really like this RAM, it seems to like 2.92v. Thanks for the fantastic product OCZ. :)
Does it do better with more volts? I really want to know how it does with lots vdimm
juicey clock there rockman....real juicey ;)
I'm not done yet Tony :D
Still just trying to get everything settled in.

Hey your the man rockman.
First of all you are using the right memory test tool. Windows memtest is :banana::banana::banana::banana: loads more sensitive then SPI, memtest etc etc etc.
I'm now just wanting people to post game stable timings.
