Ballistix PC8500

[BigRigDriver]

Anybody try those on the EVGA 680i?? And how high did they go???

[Cordovader]

My kit arrived yesterday, im still impressed with the firts result (just a 24/7 config).

1200 5-5-5-15 2,1v



During the week i will test more configs/timmings etc...

Hmmm, very nice, maybe I should try 2.1, since right now they are running 2.25vdimm. Have you tested them for stability (i.e. Memtest1.70+) ?

[Cordovader]

I tested the windows version of memtest and passed without problems

Vale, entonces hoy cuando llegue a casa tratare lo mismo. Muchas Gracias.

Update: No go for me with 2.10 and 2.15 then it jumps to 2.25 so 2.20 was not an option, oh well.

A little update:

1m DDR2-1362 5-5-5-15 2,4v



Time sucks i know, didnt have the time to optimize anything. I was just proving the limits

[Viss]

Very nice 682mhz for dual channel is How much volt for NB ?

[Cordovader]

If im not mistaken i putted it to the max (1,55? im not quite sure know). Dont know if it was necessary but i just wanted to make sure that wasnt the limiting factor

Tomorrow i will try will less to see if it works. Also i have to try results at cas 3 & 4

[Gautam]

Gooooood m****f**kin RAM!

Yes, that was necessary.

Yes, that was necessary.

oh my godness!

I just got to 695 with 2.4v single channel... damn you 700mhz!
My p5k is quite a bit more stable then my p5b dlx
Thats with almost no tweaking tho im sure i will hit it soon.

Yes ive got the same impression between 965 and P35.

I have to try with single stick too, i have the feeling both will hit the 700mhz club soon

[Cordovader]

Today ive been testing C4 and here are the results

32m DDR2-1000 4-4-4-12 2,1v



32m DDR2-1100 4-4-4-12 2,25v



32m DDR2-1200 4-4-4-12 2,55v

[erwinz]

hey guys.. anybody use memtest86+ 1.70

hope this kits pass ddr2 1200 with timing 4 4 4 12 to memtest86+ 1.70.. or I'm just dreaming..

Pare, that's what I used every since got your ram. So the settings you see for my backup rig was tested with memtest86+ 1.70.

Seems like I won't be getting DDR2-1200 cas 4 out of mine. Cas 5 with 2.3v was no problem but cas 4 wouldn't boot. Could be the DFI board though. I may try it in the Abit later tonight.

that is very nice.. you can do DDR2 1200 cas 5 and memteststable wow

It is D9GKX?? or you haven't look at the chips..

With my kit its relatively the same. cas 5 1200 is piece of cake but at cas 4 look at my captures, the big jump i had to do with voltage to make them stable (32m did not try memtest) at 1200.

At 1100 2,25 was no problem but at 1200 i had to jump to 2,55v to pass the 32m test, and ive tried all the voltage levels in between.

Today i will try cas 3 settings, and for the quick look i did yesterday it seem that it will be necessary too a lot of voltage to make them stable at a decent speed.

Looks like cas 5 is the nice spot for these kits, atleast for mine.

D9GMH, you know have to look.

[Cordovader]

Well guys, even with one module it has been a pita but finally i did it

Another member in the 700mhz club

1m DDR2-1400 5-5-5-15 2,55v



Heres the cpu-z validation

[Cordovader]

Another update with extremely low voltage

32m DDR2-1000 5-5-5-15 1,8v



32m DDR2-1100 5-5-5-15 1,9v

[luihed]

I guess my Ballistix can do ddr1200 at low volts too ... I got 4 stix and these are the worst 2, 5-5-5-15 and subs were set at auto in bios... mobo is Abit IP35....



Not too bad for Ballistix Pc 5300

[Infa]

Hmm just want to tell my BallistiX is dead, not ALL Dead in om them right now..

i must have 2.3 vdimm for even have to get them to boot... and 2.4 för stable windows.

and i dit push 2.2-2.3 trough them 24/7, and benched them for a shhhorrt while at 2.6 and 2.5 ....but not long max an hour...sooo they are soon a gooner buhuuu... 3-4 months old!

regards.

Thats the same that happened to my Cellshock 1000 and my Crucial 10th anniversary, now they need minimum 2,3-2,4v to boot.

All the test i did with my 8500 with high vdimm were using a 9cm tornado upon them and the ac at maximum (14ºc).

For short benches i use high vdimm but for daily use i never pass 2,1v.

Dont want to loose another good kit of memories.

[Infa]

Hmm well they are workin at this vdimm, soo maybe they will survive at this?
just that it has turned up a notch?

Lets say iam staying at this vdimm? will they still die? hehe
kind of stupid question maybe, but i have to learn some time
