    Btw, I just aimed for 285mhz @ 2,7v in first shot, so there could be more in these sticks.

    actually, can you do me a favor?
    on the end of the part number for your ballistix, there should be a short thing like .16TD, is this what yours says?

    nice clocks though.. good to see KABYE pulling through, the stepping seems cuirously similar to the opterons
    Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them

    Mine says 16TD aswell, worth to mention tho, it's two stick bought at the same time, not a dual kit

    eva2000: I'm glad too hear that.


    Perhaps I should try 3-3-2-0, anyone think what would be possible?

    ok, thanks
    and dual kits are over-rated

    if you should try anything, try 2.5-2-2

    At 285mhz with 2,7v I doubt that

    yeah, you'll have to drop down the mhz a bit.. but personally, i think 2.5-2-2 is around micron's sweet spot. depending on your sticks, 2.5-3-2 or 2.5-2-3 may be a bit more optimal

    At my current mhz and voltage lowering Tcl, Trcd or Trp and my rig will hang while booting.
    But lowering Trfc to 12 seems to be working flawless.

    upping Twtr to 2 didn't help on lowering any of these Tcl, Trcd or Trp, did even try upping Trc to 12 & Trfc to 19. 3-3-3-0 seems to be the tightest i can run 285 at 2,7v.

    290mhz spi1m & 32m

    Just ran spi1m with vcore at 1,45v


    CPUZ Validated:
    http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=51078

    And 32m with vcore set to 1,475v


    CPUZ Validated:
    http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=51082

    same timings and voltage for the ballistix as for 285mhz, tho i wonder why the time is 15sec slower than before (look in first post)
