it dipends on Vdimm , i think good chips need 2.45 V to be stable

Got my 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500 up and running now.
So far 440FSB ratio 3:4 = 586Mhz (1172Mhz DDR) @ 2.06v
Cant do higher FSB with this crappy CPU. Getting a Xeon 3220 tomorrow and hopefully it will go past 450fsb without any problems.

Thanks! I will try to get them, I will post results when they have arrived. I'm gonna use them on a 680i SLI board too, so you think I should keep the voltage down for 24/7 usage?

Yup, Crucial Ballistix Tracer 8500 Memtest stable at this (PL7): http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/3066/675yb2.png

2.35V, Delta 220 CFM on them just in case.

Easily. Did that at 2.0V for me.

**Vatos_locos** · 11-27-2007, 02:42 PM

1Τ Set Fron Bios Dunno Why Cpu-z shows 2t

or my abit is crazy or me :p
@2,3Volt

**MoTiG** · 11-27-2007, 03:48 PM

Awesome performance from this kit.

Is it the best price/performance enthusiast kit out here?

**patrickadizzle** · 11-27-2007, 04:43 PM

Vatos Im almost sure you wont be able to run 1T at those speeds.

Stick with 2T

**Zeus** · 11-28-2007, 12:30 AM

1t is not possible on Intel chipsets, only on nVidia 650/680 chipset.

**Vatos_locos** · 11-28-2007, 03:38 AM

Lord AnthraX 1T is posible @ 600Mhz

Zeus i realy don't now

i just set it this way on the Bios and the board boots so i don't know

is there any way to check for sure if the run at 1 T or 2 T ?

My P5K-E wifi refuses to boot at 1t, even at DDR800.

Rather strange yours seems to boot, so if it does, i don't think it's running 1t actually but just 2t like CPU-Z says.

**Vatos_locos** · 11-28-2007, 04:27 AM

i don't know memset sais 1T Cpu z sais 2T everest does not sais CR so i don't know witch software sould i trust i can see tho tha both cpu z and memset have some isues with Abit Ip 35 Pro

**KTE** · 11-28-2007, 07:24 AM

EVEREST Ultimate v4.20 1180 or 1183 will report CR (Command Rate) under the Overclock menu.

you wrong you can do 1t on intel
i done 4-4-4-12-1t@ 1000mhz on x38 any higher just need more juice

You have a screen of that?

Did it make any difference in performance?

performance was not huge
BTW quite a few p35 based boards can do 1t gigabyte dont have that option
you should know your board does 1t

My understanding is that the X38 chipset can do 1T but P35 can't.

**Zeus** · 11-28-2007, 11:25 AM

Mine does not boot with 400FSB 1:1 4-4-4 timings at 1t.
Not at all.

It's also P35 chipset.

**KTE** · 11-28-2007, 11:28 AM

Zeus what if you throw it to 4-5-5 timings @1T instead and higher tRFC?

1t requires more juice

I've killed a few of the VX2's as well. Just recently got the crucial 8500's and they have been running as smooth as silk since then.

nope it don't

memset is not sais the wright timings cpu-z sais true exept the CR some other sais tha 1T works i'am realy comfused now

I just got my Ballistix 8500's and I need 2.17v to do 1060 5-5-5-12 on the 4:5 ratio. Seems I got a crap P35-T2R as I cannot run 4GB stable and all my kits od D9 clock like ass on this board and all of them need high Vdimm
