Ballistix is faster with less voltage?

**Dee** · 07-14-2008, 10:10 AM

Why is this? I noticed my 2 x 1GB Ballistix PC2-6400 turns out better Super Pi times using 1.9V compared to 2.0V. Something like 22 seconds off the 32M test and all others from 16K to 16M were also faster.

Is this normal? I've had Ballistix before but it was never faster at lower voltages.

BTW, these are single-sided sticks, currently @ 1000MHz.

No its not normal... I think something else is troubling your setup

Nothing seems wrong, it's error free in Memtest, OCCT and Super Pi stable. Dual Stress Prime ran yesterday for a few hours and no errors were found.

RAM has just passed Super Pi 32M @ 1.86V.

^^ Oh, surprise! Same old attitude from you. It's pretty tiring and to be completely honest it almost puts me off coming here because all you ever talk about is how crap single sided Ballistix supposedly is... it's like an obsession.

As far as I'm concerned DDR1000 @ 1.85V or so isn't exactly crap. Your posts add nothing to the discussion, so thanks for that. I look forward to you repeating yourself again sometime.
