Work together with Team Xtreem OPB ed.....4GB DDR2 1000 @4-4-4-7 and 2.2V..

**GrimReaper** · 11-30-2006, 11:56 AM

Dumo thats just awesome

damn i missed on these when they were only 265

**itznfb** · 11-30-2006, 12:04 PM

yea i just picked these sticks up yesterday for just under $260. i couldn't resist since i had such great results with my ballistix DDR667 D9's. already clocked over 1200mhz

**HeadOn** · 11-30-2006, 05:23 PM

How would you guys compare this set with the Tenth Anniversary ones?

**Exedy** · 11-30-2006, 06:19 PM

Dumo, would be ok 650 @ 5-5-5-X with 2.5v ?

could you try he...

**Dumo** · 11-30-2006, 09:15 PM

It wont go >1200 cas4 with 4GB.

3Ds with 4GB...

**bazi** · 12-03-2006, 03:12 PM

so is that ballistix 8000 EPP on GMH or on GKX??

**Dumo** · 12-03-2006, 03:31 PM

I'm not sure...Don't want to open heatspreader.

**cadaveca** · 12-03-2006, 03:41 PM

Gmh. At least the early sticks with the new heatsink.

**Dumo** · 12-03-2006, 07:55 PM

@1200 4-4-4...

**Exedy** · 12-03-2006, 08:13 PM

1200 C4 @ 2.5v thats nice

try max stable C4 with 2.5v+ 32mb

but you will need some vdimm mod =/

forget it...2.5v results are nice already hehe

**Dumo** · 12-03-2006, 08:49 PM

Yep, I just don;t want it to run with >2.5V

...I will run the cpu to 1.8/1.9V though (colder).

B/way FSB > 1750 seems to run slower in long SP1...

It might be high BUT the Latency/strap sucks big time on these mobos....

**Dumo** · 12-04-2006, 12:54 PM

Well, its a pretty good benching ram for the price. Its up there with $400 ish price range rams.

Now back to my trusted Team Xtreme 6400c3 ram

With regard to your question, after further research with our product marketing & engineering team I learned that specific information about each module is really difficult to obtain.

Additionally, our engineering team told me we do not provide detailed information on the DRAM used due to the competitive nature of the high performance memory market. For our Ballistix products, we take Micron DRAM and perform additional chip- and system-level testing to ensure our products meet Crucial's demanding performance and quality standards.

Sorry I can't provide you with any more specific information than that on the issue!

.....this is the second time i have been given this answer. The last time I asked was when they had a different rep at the beginning of this year and he couldn't tell me either. I would just like to know how you know so I could know too.

**cadaveca** · 12-04-2006, 01:17 PM

buy the sticks. It's how I know. And that's retail, must be retail. too much crap going around for "reviews" that doesn't hit retail.

**Roger_D25** · 12-04-2006, 02:10 PM

I just recenlty purchased a retail set from the EGG, as soon as they were delivered I pulled the heatspreader and they were indeed D9GMH IC's! It can be tough to read this because Crucial stamps they IC's with a "Ballistix" logo but the stamp isn't always on target, lol!

**kraggy** · 12-04-2006, 02:39 PM

I pulled heatspreaders off and couldn't' read anything but the "Crucial Ballistics" stamped on each IC.

**Roger_D25** · 12-04-2006, 02:43 PM

It's tough Kraggy, I had to pull both spreaders off of one of the moduels to find one I could read but the other stick was fairly legable. I think you can saftly say their D9GMH as I only got mine about a week ago while they were very cheap! Can you see below where the "Ballistix" is stamped, does it have a little -2F?

**revenant** · 12-05-2006, 11:36 AM

Nice results... I just nabbed a pair of the tracers on the egg for $325.. still a good price imo for these fast sticks..

**Dumo** · 12-05-2006, 12:42 PM

Yep, if you already run 680i.....Better choice than striker
