New Crucial 1.5V DDR3 Kits

Yours lights up on x79?

There's also this: http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Ballisti...X79/td-p/89812

I would've returned them, but I would hate to get a lesser performing kit. And I did buy them on newegg.

I dont have X79, but I did have a set that wouldnt light up. I didnt think a single platform wouldnt light up, doesnt really make sense to me, but it looks like it. Do you have any other boards to try them on?

[meanmoe]

I have a few other machines to try them on but none which would be convenient. I actually read an article on OCN after your post where a guy said that they could be configured on another machine and then swapped over to the x79 platform. When I have the time to spare I'll give this a go and report back. If anyone else has done this with success, I'd appreciate the confirmation before I go to the trouble.

Did yours light up out of the package or did you have to configure them first with the mod utility?

[Cecil]

All of mine lit up out of the package, except the one kit that didnt light up.

I have asus p8p67 pro and 3770k
And two kits of these new tactical d9pfj

They behave very strange though..

I can do 1866 8-8-8-27-1T 1.575v very easy with 4x4GB
1600 6-6-6-18 1.600v very easy and bomb stable
2000 9-9-9 1.6
2000 8-8-8-27-2T 1.65v


But everything above is unstable
Even relaxing as 10-10-10 or 11-11-11 doesnt help
Voltage doesnt help
I can boot 2133 and 2200 with 9-9-9 1.65v but its spi32m unstable

Does it have some known issues with my board?
I tried single,dual and quad mode too...the same result...

[bassplayer]

What kind of memory controller voltage are you giving?

[westsider]

tried from stock upto 1.15

[BeepBeep2]

Well, maybe try a Z77 board instead? P67 + Ivy probably isn't the best option for overclocking and most P67 boards were tuned for Sandy which maxed at ~2133-2250 for most users.

Try 9-9-9-24 relaxing TRRD by 1 or 2 for 2133, then you tell us..

some ppl got lucky with this kits, not my experience...i bought 2 and 1 passed memtest perfect at 2000 CL9 then the other day not and i got tired of them, the other had a bad stick...

*agree with Beep you runing an IVY on a P67, on a Z77 its your best bet

BTW, if anyone wants to try these out, the Ballistix Tactical (the orange/goldish ones) are currently on sale at Fry's for $40, plus $4 shipping.

that's cheap! one of the best memory I've tested.

That's a great price, the same kit costs 65€ in Germany, you guys in the US are really lucky.

[Reefa_Madness]

Looks like they have sold out, as it is currently showing as "Unavailable".

[AVulgarPicture]

if i was looking at a kit of these from newegg, is there a difference between the IC's on these three kits?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148560
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148554
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148555

? seem to be very close to the same price, and rated speeds.

[Reefa_Madness]

The first kit, of course, is the regular Ballistix and the last two are the Tracers and they are the same except for the color of the lights. If I recall correctly, the ones ending in RG are red and green lights, the ones ending in OB are orange and blue lights (Go GATORS!).

I think that they all sport the same IC (D9PFJ - see post #125 in this thread).

All of those 3 are the same IC. Those Tracers are nice too!

P.S. If Crucial use Hynix or Samsung ICs in their Ballistix Tracers then I wouldn't go for G.Skill Trident X

[AVulgarPicture]

i already have samsung, hynix and psc. just after the cheapest D9PFJ's then i guess.

[Reefa_Madness]

There were also some of the Kingston LoVo(s) @ 1.35v sporting the Micron chips, but not too long ago a member posted pics of his LoVo showing Hynix CFR ICs, so I don't know that you can count on the newer ones being D9PFJ. Best bet would be to stick to the Crucial branded modules.

[Barr3l Rid3r]

I will be a very nice guy and share my Crucial tertiary timings...

They are magical, I've tried every possible combination and that's the best for stability and high clock.

[jimba86]

can you get this kit in AU? they look really nice.

[Barr3l Rid3r]

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Has Crucial switched to Samsung ICs, or have the Micron low power chips gone OVER 9000?!?! http://www.thinkcomputers.org/crucia...-kit-review/3/

[Don_Dan]

Are you sure it's not Micron? He didn't even show 1M at 1200MHz, only bandwidth tests and a screenshot. If I'm not mistaken I remember seeing 1200MHz CL10 in this thread.

Did you try booting yours at higher CL values?

[andressergio]

I was very unlucky with 2 of this kits i bought 2 from the egg, one was dead and the other was a hell to make it stable, its a pitty i dont have it anymore to try on Z77

I don't know all I've tried worked fine in every system, but most I have to config it manually above 1866mhz.

They seems to be 100% stable and a tiny change make them 100% unstable. pretty hard to config
