    I also think the Ballistix are the ones who die less
    I pray everyday mine don't die, like the OCZ Platinum I had.
    Besides stated they support 2.2v for daily use, I have them 24/7 with only 2.00-2.05v @DDR2-1066.

    With 2.05-2.100 they are capable of 1152MHz or maybe even 1200MHz with some serious tweaking.

    1200 with just 2.1V?? show me!

    Just have a fan blowing over the rams, i can't stress enough how important this is for the lifespan of your memory, especially if you're gonna push some volts.

    I said maybe, 2.10v @1200MHz
    I still get 1 or 2 memtest errors after 3 passes.

    But in the thread about the Ballistix 8500 there's people with these rams clocked @1200 and 2.10v. Look here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=143009

    I always have fan blowing on RAM no matter how much volts/FSB
    They get very hot, easily, under stress.

    I've been through that thread but did not see anyone getting 1200 with 2.1V, not even loc.o who has a very very nice kit.

    Doesn't really matter, it's just that these Ballistix seem to be clocking rather nice.

    Here you go: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=275
    Doesn't say if its stable though... There's another guy with a 1200MHz @1.95v screenshot too. Also doesn't say if it's stable.

    Doesn't really matter, it's just that these Ballistix seem to be clocking rather nice.
    Agreed.

    With how much volts do you guys think it's safe to run the Ballistix 24/7

    I'm currently running with 2.00v @1052MHz
    It's set to 2.00v (+0.20v) at BIOS and Easytune Pro, but reported as 2.06v in Everest/Speedfan. I always get the vdimm reading +0.06v higher.

    Hehe, ok, 5-5-5 i take for granted, all ballistix will do 1200 5-5-5 with max 2.5V i think.

    I was looking for 4-4-4 results.
