Ballistix PC8500

[KeZzZu]

Yeah, I got Tracer FD3 with old heatspreaders, same problem. I just removed clips, which solved the problem. But, man, these are pretty hot, about 50C at 1.8V 800Mhz in load. Active cooling is 100% necessery.
Dude, how many memory kits do you have? 10?

Yes i got 8500 ballistix tracers and fd3 series... blah had to rip off those heatspiders after one hour of use... didnt even contact memchips... well there did go warranty. Well doesnt matter i dont rma anything what i do OC.

also these aint so impressive on OC for 1200 with 4-4-4-x subs
i need about 2.4v

only 13 sets of d9yes i'm sick lol n most of em are like new lol
16fd5 does not get hot runnin 1200+ n they cool 22c with a fan

[natedog420]

i just got a brand new set of the 16fd5(2x1gb pc8500) from dell.com about a month or 2 ago. there double sided i check as soon as i took them out of the box. havent tried max clocks yet i just set them what my tracers witch is 4-4-4-8 at 2.17 with tight sub timings.

A bit of off topic, but how do the pc8000 doubble sidded ballistix do? I have a set of D9GMH that I havn't tested properly, waiting on new motherboard .

Just 13 sets?
22C? That's pretty low.What's the room temp?
Mine about 35-38C idle, ~40C load with 80mm fan on top, room temp 25-30C.

I was thinking something, maybe LEDs and chip that's controling them on Tracers, are increasing temperature?

room is 22c i measured with lasergun

Just got my rma'd sticks back,they are-BL12864AA106A.8FE5(2.0v spec not 2.2v).I have them at 1066/2.0v/1:1 40 divider.I sent the BL12864AA1065 tracers back and got these new revision non tracers.They are still single sided but i will give them a chance,if these dont work properly,i will not be buying crucial again.

ive got a pair of 16fd3 and 16fd5 . they run great . as individual pairs ,i had em up to 1170mhz could go further im sure.
but put em together for 4x1gb ,no way! wont even boot. sticks on c1.
i tried two boards ,wont boot up as 4gb.
not sure why , there pretty much the same ram. and i tested each module there fine.
any ideas? or has anyone matched these?

ive tested 16fd3 and 16fd5 together 4x1 and i was able to do 1200 easy@500fsb
maybe its the 333/800 divider

Today I will receive my first set of crucial ballistix memories . It's the:

Model Ballistix Tracer BL2KIT12864AL1065
Format DIMM
Capacitate 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Viteza 1066MHz
Latente 5-5-5-15
Numar pini 240 pin
Alimentare 2.2V
Garantie Lifetime

what can u tell me about this BL2KIT12864AL1065 kit? ANyone who has it pls post u'r results. It's going to be a "crucial weekend" with memory hard clocking and testing. Gonna get them around 12:00. Can't wait to be 18:00 (that's when I finish my work program) and start playing with my new Ballistix ram.



I'm verry disapointed. I got the single sided kit which seems to be bad clockers. That was all about my excitement. Currently I'm verry frustrated and fell bad because I bought them :|

use them untill they die they have newer revision might be better
just dont go over 2.2v

Just glue back the hs
Recently do this to one of my dead stick and the ram is now detour to malaysia

Which Ballistix contain D9GMH and which don't? How can I determine that?

16fd* is doublesided
8fd* =crap

[anzial]

So any double-sided ballistix 8500 is D9GMH?

[Vatos_locos]

if they are any outside anymore :/

[anzial]

I already have a pair of double-sided ballistix, just trying to confirm

[Vatos_locos]

it's only the stock thats left i think Crusial has stopped producing D9xxx
if the are 16fd* 1x1Gb then you probably have same D9
if the are 2x2Gb then forget the microns

[CryptiK]

Micron stopped producing D9, crucial stopped using them on their ram.

1GB sticks equipped with D9 IC's are double sided. Single sided 1GB sticks are not D9.

D9 = win
non D9 = fail

Crucial's new stuff is all single sided, and doesn't perform like the double sided ram.

However non D9's probably won't degrade as easily as D9's, so for some that is a good thing. There are some non D9 IC's that do OC well, but they are rare.

[anzial]

I've double-sided 1gb sticks, so I figure they are D9GMHs, but now I'm afraid they gonna die from overvoltage

do dont overvolt em lol
but if you got a gigabyte board you dont have to worry they will die @ 2.2v

[Zeus]

@chanphong, awesome result man!

[18 is # 1]

Can you glue two single sides together?

[Budwise]

yea, one of my pairs of D9's just died on me. Thats the 2nd set in about a year.
