With the recent cancellation of Crucial Ballistix, I feel the Cronus series from Team is a very well timed product, which will fill in an important gap that the Ballistix leaves.
why will they replace the ballistix? see for yourself:
before you jump out of your seat shouting "micron!" know that i have been using these sticks for over a month now, and i see no reason to believe that F die will have the same problems as D. It even runs cooler
now, I've been hesistant to put up my findings on this ram quite yet due to some issues I have been trying to resolve with my motherboard. Sadly, my plans for a good replacement board fell through as it ended up being dead (thanks for trying anyways steve), and I haven't spotted any other good deals on a new board.. being a poor student, I can't very well just go out and buy a new one
So my next plan of attack was to resolve the issues my board has with a vmod to supplement Vtt. However, it appears that I should have done my homework better. The part I planned to use has problems supplying reliable power at the lower voltages that Vtt runs at, so this part will have to wait until I get the replacement voltage regulator that'll do the trick...
that said, let's move onto the part that you guys actually care about
first, I went for max mhz with the tightest timings that could be done at stock. nothing exceptional, but definitly good compared to the only other easily obtainable high clocking 64mb IC, samsung UCCC:
but that's not really all that fun. let's really push it, but with a new version of cpu-z that recognizes the sticks
hmmm, noy bad eh? but wait, i think my motherboard is causing me problems.. more voltage leads to a decrease in performance, which is opposite of everything but 3-3-3, 1T. let's give 2T a shot
i'm banking on being able to do those speeds at 1T once this dfi nf4 stops giving me fits
btw, i can do 2-2-2 at 200mhz
