Nice Dual Channel clocks man!

See how high you can bench and then post here!

Hmmm, seems to be a very good Kit of the 5300 BallistiX.

Awesome result

- 682,5Mhz @ only 2.3V

my question would be.. is it stable 24/7 at speeds/volts like this???
i am in doubt that a fan could keep these sticks running stable and cool for atleast a few months. i ask this because i also have the aa667's

**Saturas** · 11-11-2007, 11:15 AM

This is surely not stable, might be Pi 1M stable, but not many more.

If it's 32M stable it would be veryveryveryvery great RAM,
and 24/7 stable is definetly impossible, I think.

They're also a very good pair of the 5300 DIMMs,
these Speeds you normally reach with some 8500 DIMMs,
but there are also only a few with 2.3V at this speeds.

Nice, these look like they could easily be DDR-1200 5-5-5-15 24/7 sticks at very safe voltage.

**scotty1991** · 11-11-2007, 11:08 PM

Im running them 1200 4-4-4-12 atm, stable, but yes, at those speeds above it is 1m stable, Im doubtful of 32M stablility.

As for cooling, I have duel 80mm fans blowing air accross the ram.

680+Mhz @2.3v？
OMG

Very nice.

awesome ram whats max orthos stable?

**Zeus** · 11-12-2007, 03:24 AM

I don't see any screenies.

**LivingL@rGe81** · 11-12-2007, 05:00 AM

How about Crucial PC5300 @ 651Mhz 5-5-4-10 2.45V PI 32Mb run I think these will be for benching

**Saturas** · 11-12-2007, 07:10 AM

Have you a screen with Easy Tune for showing the voltage

**scotty1991** · 11-13-2007, 10:18 PM

Im not currently running that ram, atm im using 4gb geil ultra 800mhz.
=] My ram is waiting for my new E6750 and Blitz Forumla

**Zeus** · 11-14-2007, 10:01 AM

Geez, what's going on with speedbinning at Crucial?

The PC5300 seem to be even better than the PC8500.

I want my money back!

**Xvys** · 11-14-2007, 11:37 PM

I got my Crucial PC-5300 up to 612Mhz @ 2.3v and 588Mhz @ 2.25v. So far SuperPi 1M stable. I will try with tighter timings and try to run 32M or Prime. Note: the default timings were 5-7-7-24!

Asus P5K Deluxe / E6300 @ 3430Mhz, 1.375v / 4x1G Crucial 10th Anniv. PC-5300 / ATI X1950 Pro / Seagate 320G & 250G / Hec AcePower 420w / AC Freezer 7 Pro / CoolerMaster CM690 case w/ 6 -120mm fans

**hot_fifty** · 11-17-2007, 01:01 PM

nice clocking but Crucial 10th Anniv. PC-5300 will surely overclock well, D9GMH chips

**Xvys** · 11-18-2007, 09:01 AM

yep, the Crucial 10th Anniv. are supposedly handpicked D9GMH, although most pundits claim they are identical to Ballistix. I tested 2x1G of Ballistix PC6400 with this same setup and their default timings were 5-5-5-18 at 490Mhz, while the 10th Anniv. default is 5-4-4-15, with identical settings. This could just be due to the factory default settings, as the Ballistix PC6400 were rated at 4-4-4-15 @ 400Mhz and 5-5-5-18 @ 500Mhz with 2.2v in CPU-z...while the 10th Anniv. have only 200, 266 & 333Mhz (5-3-3-15 @ 1.8v) default settings . They defaulted to 5-7-7-24 @ 612Mhz. I could post but not open Vista at 674Mhz, the next step up in the bios, even with 2.4v. I will tinker more with the settings or perhaps try o/c with only 2G ram.
