I got my 2x2gb ballistix today,and just thought i would post my pic with them at 1200 at 2.0v

Heres the ones i got-
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143844
They are-BL25664AA80A.16FE5 double sided
They are cheap for 2gb sticks that will do 1200 on only 2.0v
tigger
looks like you got lucky
Looks nice, but your run is on cas6, will they do cas 5 ?
This is what I am looking for, but not at CAS6. Can you try DDR2-1200 with CAS5 and see what voltage you need?
Nice, like everyone else said try for 5-5-5-15.
Great to see that set get to that kinda speed, ive been looking at getting some, having seen it for that much on ebuyer, I was looking at some G.SKill PC8000 for around £50 off of memoryc.com, and while they seemed to be good, this is just too good a deal to miss!
A friend is looking at buying some new RAM, ill probs get him to get a set of these aswell, he was looking at some OCZ gold for the same price, its a no brainer!
Do most of these kits clock well, (maybe not this well, but still better than average) coz they have micron D9's dont they?
Just me..........
I think these may be Promos or PSC IC's. Not all of them clock this this TI66ER seems to have gotten lucky. Most should do DDR2-1066 but there's no guarantees.
Not the good D9s...they use high density ICs that don't OC well. The GSkill won't OC well either (unless you are VERY lucky).Quote:

give us a cachemem on those speeds
Heres super pi 1m and cpu-z

I will try cacheman now.
I tried at 5.5.5.15 but no post,maybe with a tweak they might get there :D Would i be better running them at 11xx 5.5.5.15?
Cachemen wont run on 64bit vista.
more mhz are always better but if you try cachemem you will see witch one is better
cachemem runs fine on vista 64 try the latest everest
although i thing 1200 6-5-5-15 should be a bit faster than 11xx 5-5-5-16
Nice.
What's max 5-5-5 though?
You need 555, cas 6 is weak, thats ddr-3 material
Oh, so it probs wont clock that well?
Bother, I have reccomended it a couple of times in the last couple of days, because i thought it would clock really well, and was at a great price.......
So, any other RAM you would reccomend thats better than that? (2x2gb), and for reasonable money,
Just me.........
I got my set today, got to ddr1100 easy with the 5-5-5-15 timings, cpu (Q9300) crapped out any higher, going to try with a higher divider to see what the max I can get out of it is (ignore the sig, totally wrong lol)
Seems most of it is good clocking, tomshardware did a test and they got theirs to 1200mhz memtest stable
yeah Tom..... :D
Toms had the same 6.5.6.15 timings as mine at 1200.They will go upto 1200(maybe higher) but only at cas6.I tried 5.5.5.15 at 1200 but no post.5.5.5.15 at 1100 aint too bad is it?

So, any decent sets in the UK?
Just me.......
http://www.memoryc.com/computermemor...0pkseries.html very good kit for £73. The 8 layer PCB should help when it comes to clocking. I would guess ~1150MHz @ 2.1-2.2v, give or take 50MHz or so.
If you dont want that theres these http://www.memoryc.com/computermemor...serieskit.html 1200MHz 4GB kit, monstrously expensive though @ £250.
pushed a little past yours with red and the same timings but 2.18v
http://img.techpowerup.org/081206/Capture127414.jpg
As much as I would like to buy that set, not in my budget, :D, considering that this is my first build for myself
The build im doing has a limit of around £700 for everything, apart from, case, OS, keyboard and mouse......
I have a thread over in liquid cooling asking whether I should go for water cooling over air.....
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210053
Just me............
TBH I would stick with air, easier to upgrade components, air is cheaper, top quality air still performs well, you don't have to worry about leaks, moving your PC is much easier when you use air, and of course less spent on cooling = you can buy higher grade parts.
Yeah, I probs will stick with air, but im still not sure about the RAM, i dont think i can really afford to put that much money towards the RAM, are there any cheaper sets (in the UK) that will give me good performance, i mean, im not extreme, although, getting the e8500 to 4.5GHz would be nice, maybe higher, and due to the higher multi, I wont need AMAZING RAM just good performers,
Thanks for any help......

Or am I mistaken?
Thanks
By the way, I was thinking about getting the Biostar i45 TPower, but I have heard bad things about it and memory, so, should I go for the Gigabyte UD3 instaed? (the R version?)
(sorry for slightly off topic)
Thanks
I got my set today,
Easily got to 1000, however, couldnt get to 1100, (loosened timings, upped voltages all over the place,) although, I didnt really try to clock the RAM in anything but a 1:1 divider, so maybe my cpu wasnt having it today, ( e8200)
Tigger, and anyone else who has got good clocks on these, what other settings did you have? (volts for NB, FSB, etc...)
Thanks
NB for mine was @1.5v (on p45)
FSB term (vtt)@1.6v iirc
What set?Quote:

I didn't have that much time to tweak anything, and i tried to go from 500fsb straight to 550, (not a lot of time), and so that might have been part of the problem, although I have booted before at that speed, and run superpi while using the OCZ.....
The mch voltage in on auto, should i increase it?
By the way, any reccomendation between the Biostar i45 against the Gigabyte UD3 something, as both cost around the same (£110)
Thanks
I would recommend the black ones over these. According to Mushkin the xp2 series will actually overclock higher than the redlines. Ordered me a set of the DDR2 800 Xp2 2x2GB today. wasnt paying attention; could have got the 1066's for $10 more.Oh well. I dont think I will need too much anyways, 1066 will probably be overkill for my needs.Quote:
