Ballistix PC4000 Settings

[Xolias]

I've had trouble with these since I've had them, and I was wondering if anyone knew some good bios settings for them.

 

See my sig for more info on them.

First off, are these the 16.TD sticks or the TD1 sticks?

[Xolias]

16.td They just recently crapped out on me so I'm looking for some good settings for when I get the new ones.

[red930]

So you're getting a set of TD1's then? I have two entries with the TD1's... they're pretty much both the same though in terms of memory settings.

 

Here's one of my Opteron 165

Here's the other with my 3700 Sandy

I'm not sure which I'm going to get, I know the 16TDs crap out a lot faster, so hopefully they're giving the revised ones, Will it work with my SLI-DR if I do get the TDs? Also is the 4/25 BIOS what I should be using?

 

Would I need to install a new heatsink since it's being overclocked quite a bit?

 

Any stable non overclock settings?

Here is my set, and be sure to have an active cooling on yours.

I still have 4GB's of them Ballistix, now I use the DDR2 Ballistix on my C2D, and also have 4GB's. Just use an active cooling over them to be safe. Look through the Stock Data Base, I'm sure there are posts on them stock.

1) You'll probably receive the TD1's as the TD's are no longer in production

2) Yes, any DDR (184-pin) piece of memory will work in your SLI-DR board

3) I doubt the SLI-DR has a 4/25 BIOS as we have different boards.. I wouldn't update the BIOS unless there is a need to.

4) There are already heatspreaders on the Ballistix, just place a fan over them or something. Or, if you were referring to your 3700, sure, but without knowing what you're currently using I can't say much.

2) I acually meant would the setttings work even with a different board.

4) I was refering to the 3700, I currently have just a stock one.

2) They could, but I wouldn't say that it would definitely work.

4) Yeah, even a $20 Freezer Pro 64 would do way better than the stock HSF.

This is some of the best memory I have ever used. It OC's well above rated spec. Try giving it more voltage. I read a review where they used 3.1v to max it out. I don't really understand what the majority of the settings in the BIOS do, but I'm using [email protected] on an Asus board with amazing results. I also have a CoolIt Ram Fan attached to it.

Is this an okay heatsink? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835128012

You don't want to give this RAM more than 2.8v, it does not respond well to voltage increases. Just like cpus, some RAM sticks clock better than others.

Anything over it's rated DDR 500 speed is gravy.
