Iceblade Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 You using the orange slots? Your the first person ive seen have any kind of problem with TD1's! Yes Orange slots It's only when on the internet it's very weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_wheeldon Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 You know what, i have strange problems sometimes but i just put it down to windows generally. I wonder if your onto something there. Azureus is the main problem. BSOD's/freezez or crashes for no reason. 1 minute in to hours in. Very strange. Wish i had somemore memory try out and test it but i dont Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_w95482 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 That's odd, I've been running my TD1's mostly 24/7 since I got them in July and they've been great. No weirdness yet. Maybe it's because some of the more obscure timings are out of whack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrippy Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 i don't have time to read back a few months worth of posts, did crucial or anyone ever find out why these kits were dying? and have the new revisions been better? thanks in advance for any info.....

i_wheeldon Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Yes, TD1 revision seems to have ironed it out but nothing on what was causeing the problem in the first place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.{KC}. Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 I made a thread earlier about an error i had last week, Had to reinstall. I was using Crucial Ballistik PC4000 1/1@257 2.9V I bought for sticks love the lights, (Tracers) Some have said it could be my PSU maybe mine not up to par. Have 2x1gig of Gskill PC3200 just crazy errors there? Got a couple sticks of Kingston HyperX PC2700 in there now just waintin to see what else i ned to buy Ya know? Crazy, it ran well for a while?

dreamk Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Well i think i have to then be first to report broken TD1 sticks. Bought 2 Ballistixs year ago november, could not even get Windows running sometimes not even that first post screen, memtest86+ showed lot errors, i replaced those february and get new working ones antistatic bag says BL12864Z503.16TD1, they worked fine .. i used them at default timings and voltage and computer was on pretty much 24/7 but around month ago started getting random blue screens when doing DVD encoding it got worst and then sometimes computer locked even when i was browsing thru BIOS screens, and Windows XP was not always boot up properly. Now situation is that i have to put voltage to 2.9V and timings are 3-4-4-10 memtest86 reports some errors but at least i could use my XP at some work, i try to manage month or so maybe i upgrage my system then so its easier to RMA those Crucials then when i already have new system running. Im pretty newbie at timings and other settings so slower/ more stable BIOS settings would be nice if someone have any suggestions?

AndyMacMartin Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Are the 5B-F Microns as fast as the 5B-D? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 This thread will never die I was wondering why the 2.9v though? Maybe that is a problem, especially when pushing them beyond 250? I have a set of TF1Ys @2.6v 24/7, got them from Newegg 4 months ago. These sticks beat out my OCZ EBs and G.SKILL HZs during testing. Crucial is the best RAM for me.

DemonEyez_NL Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Are the 5B-F Microns as fast as the 5B-D? No, they are not. Crucial is playing on safe so it stopped using Micron 5b-D and is now using Micron 5b-F, which are more stable but can't take as much. For running Micron 5b-F 275MHz @ 3-3-3-7-1T you'll need 2.80-2.85v in comparison to 2.7v for the Micron 5b-D There are some reports of failing TD1. I think that's because although it's the new revison of the PCB, those sticks still use Micron 5b-D chips and not the new Micron 5b-F chips. I myself bought two TD sticks last year in March. Around the beginning of december they finally started to give me problems. I did a RMA and am now running with TF2Y, which has a new revision of the PCB and has Micron 5b-F chips. Running 260MHz @ 3-3-3-7-1T with 2.78v Drive Strength 5 and data Strength 2 (it has been hell to work out the correct settings in my CFX3200-DR to get it stable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMacMartin Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 So does that mean that the 5B-F should ultimately achieve basically just as high HZ as the 5B-D, as long as you up the voltage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo2jo Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 my ballistix 2x1gb just went bad as well...though i had a big problem till i pulled the sticks...they were slilghtly over clocked and i had a fan on them the entire time in a huge, well cooled case. they were very cool...Always. any suggestions on how to get some $ back, as they were like 300$ when i bought them 7 mo. ago. tks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
