Crucial Ballistix PC6400

Yeah 512 stix are good but they suck at benchmarks unless you use 4 stix.....

As for voltage, I need to learn how to bench at lower volts lol...... I couldnt get them to boot at 3.25v......

Well I installed the other 2GB kit for a total of 4gbs

They ran perfectly at 4-4-4-12 @ 900 (450x8)

Haven't gotten to really overclock them but I did lower the latency somewhat. I was just checking to see if it'd boot and luckily it did. I'll post some results later tonight about overclocking 4gbs (4x1) and trying to get 1000+ @ 4-4-3-4 or around there

Right now they're running at...
4-4-3-4 @ 800 (running stock 2.4)

Which ones is better? 4-4-4-12 at a faster speed or 4-4-3-4 at a lower speed?

MrSuge, is the default voltage for this RAM really 2.4? If that's what's required to run it, then i'd be weary of an eVGA 680i overvolting it and killing it.

Mr. Mansize_tissue

Whered you hear 2.4? 2.2 is what Crucial says but you can run them at 1.8 at stock 4-4-4-12 800 speeds

To get the lower latency + higher clock speeds I run them at 2.2378 (or something similar)

Right now I'm at 900 @ 4-4-3-4 @ 2.2378

I'm sure I can easily hit 1000 at those timings but I'm running at 3.6 therefore I'm happy at 1:1

2.4 should take you over 1100 but as you said I'm kind of weary giving them that much juice even on a 650i

In your previous post you said "running stock 2.4"; i assumed you were talking voltages, but now i realise you were referring to CPU frequency, right?

Thank you. If they can run at 1.8v at stock frequency and timings, and since i don't plan on running them over these rated specs., i think i'll grab a set over some Corsair C4Ds or G.Skill PC2-6400 HK/HZs.
 
I just bought and installed these today from Multiwave:
CRUCIAL BALLISTIX BL2KIT6464AA804 1GB KIT (512MB x 2) MATCH PAIR PC26400 800MHZ 4-4-4-12 240-PIN DDR2 DIMM W/HEAT SPREADER for $76

and the date of manufacture is 12/25/99 according to Sandra. Serial number is 85016B45.
and A86BF36. Version 1.2
does that seem kinda old to anyone?
 
sandra is wrong. you know something is up when the mfg date is before ddr2 became an official spec.
 
For your information that is the same date given by PC Wizard 2007. You tellin' me I don't have a collector's item? Wait a minute, I wonder if this the same type of thing that this M/B exhibits with temps for the Brisbane processor? Only in reverse, kinda. It does have those purdy, new heatsinks that boy showed us in that other Crucial thread. Darn, I thought I had really found sumptin'.
 
My Crucial Ballstix DDR2 1000 Tracers arrive today to replace my Mushkin RAM that never ran without errors at its rated specs. My question to you guys is what timings and speed to run it at, and whether or not I should run it "linked" in the BIOS options.

I prefer to run at around 370*9=3.33 as I can get stable overclocks at low voltage. What would be the best timings with this RAM for that speed? thanks all!

Motherboard is EVGA 680iLT A1
E6600
Tuniq120.

I'm betting you could push the primary timings down to 3s in most cases, and possibly set the command rate to 1T. Although Eclipse can probably be more precise, having actually the chance to play with similar RAM.
 
680i is an interesting beast. it should clock ram relatively similarly to AM2, so you can use this chart as a ROUGH guide ;)

for 1T command rate, that's a memory controller thing. i have no idea how far 680i can go with 1T, probably around 400-500mhz before topping out, regardless of the timings or ram used
