Hey cordovader, this is winters. I've seen you round noticias3d.com. Hey, get the PC3200 Crucial Ballistix from Alternate for 129€, they are the ones I have now at 270Mhz and 2.93v, at 2.5-3-3-7. They are great for their price.

Thanks for the tip winters but iÂ´m not longer interested in 1gb kits (if theyÂ´re not BH5 that can do more than 270 stable

)

& as Unrealer and Pol told you, speak in english mate

**winters** · 02-12-2006, 06:32 AM

Sorry very much (for no write in english),

i think Cordovader that can do 300 mhz with 3-4-4-10 i see in a recent Review: http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2226&p=9
http://eclipseoc.com/index.php?id=1,37,0,0,1,0
And with low voltage......

thanks for linking my review

but keep in mind those are 512mb sticks, not 1gb, and i've discovered my board has a strange limit preventing me from breaking 306mhz

**wat0n** · 02-13-2006, 10:52 AM

that's just amazing [CST]

**THunDA** · 02-13-2006, 12:06 PM

Nice sticks and overclock !!

**bestmancajun** · 02-13-2006, 10:15 PM

Have you tried them in your expert? With mine in dual channel I can't get them stable. I've crashed more times in the past three days then I have ever on my DR.

**tHe_jOkeR** · 02-14-2006, 04:21 AM

amazing sticks

**CapFTP** · 02-14-2006, 04:40 AM

really good RMA job !.....great ram and great clock...

**Ozan Baseski** · 02-14-2006, 05:08 AM

Very good sticks but you have to be careful about the voltage, because these sticks degrade very quickly over time and give errors even at stock settings. A couple of my friends had this problem when they use it with only 2.8 volts for everyday use

My daily config is 300x10 3-3-3-8 2,74v, i only increase the voltage when i do something more "extreme"

bestmancajun, my expert is giving me problems lately with all kind of memos so i have to upgrade the bios to see if problems disappear or persist. If the board is ok iÂ´ll try the ballistix on it to see if i can improve the result or not.

Thanks all you guys

**amd opteron x2** · 02-15-2006, 11:32 AM

congratz cordovader!!!
i am new here and i am espaÃ±ol xD eres un makina del oc por lo que se somos bastantes aki ^^^^
Congratulations

**winters** · 02-18-2006, 11:30 AM

Nice O.C Cordovader, one question whats the max voltage for MICRON 5B-G actually mine is 2,80 V in DFI bios but the real is 2,93 V; with +0.03 V IF NO 3,2 V = enable, my best results 280 mhz 2,5-3-3-7 with Ballistix PC3200, no more with 3-3-3-8

But daily use is 250 mhz with 2,5-2-2-5

**ozzimark** · 02-18-2006, 02:19 PM

depends on how cold you keep it. i've kept my 5b G at 3.1v for a while before with no obvious ill effects.

**LlamaOfDoom** · 04-07-2006, 07:10 AM

I have been using my Crucial Ballistix for a good few weeks now, rock solid @ 285MHz 2.8V.
These are my returned sticks (from RMA) and are the 16TH1 revisions.
Will be putting even more active cooling over them soon all going well and will really push them hard once I get some time.

Anyone else got results with the 16TH1's?

For comparison, mine are:

Batch CL1116D.7P
Part 63240

erm.. .16TH1? care to show a pic? i've only heard of .16TD and .16TD1.. for it to be .16TH1, that means you have 5b H chips

**xgman** · 04-07-2006, 09:57 AM

Well, after reading this, temptation took over and I called my Crucial rep and low and behold, they have some new (very limited) stock of The Z503 sets, but only if you call, and most likely only stocked to handle the rma's primarily. Hmm, so I ordered a new set under a reseller account for $237.90 shipped. If they are even remotely as good as the ones in this thread, then it will be worth it.

**Ferry82** · 04-07-2006, 09:59 AM

Cordovader please flash the latest beta bios

and take the WR back

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=94878

I believe that is a CPU limit not board..
