2GB Ballistix POWAR!!!

[ben805]

Recently I'd Upgraded my memory from 1GB XP4000 Redline to these 2GB Crucial Ballistix for smoother BF2 gameplay, been busy playing the darn thing and never had a chance to overclock them till today, basically my X2 4200 went belly up couple days ago so I bought a Venice 3000 as spare while I was waiting for the X2 3800 replacement, with the Venice without much effort I was able to clock these Ballistix up to 297 @3-3-3-8 1T with 2.9V, they'd passed memtest and superPI 32M with flying colors Well...today I'd received the X2 3800 so after couple hours of tweaking this is where I'm at now:










My X2 3800 sucks....can't clock any higher than 2.90Ghz regardless what vcore being used, well...still with the IHS on and for whatever reason the memory timing also need to be relax even more with the dual core, I'd also notice the memory heatspreader are burning hot even at 250 @2.60v so I think adding a 80mm fan on top of them is a must!! With a fan they're cool to touch now at 290 @3-3-3-8 1T, 2.8v I'm using the 704-2BTA bios, maybe I shoudl try 510 or others to see if I can clock any higher

All and all, I'm very happy with these Ballistix
