OatMan Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 So you're running these new ballistix at 270 2-2-2-8? If so, holy cow! Don't I wish. too tired and hit the wrong key. I edited the post that should be 270 3338 which I think is pretty awsome. 2.74vDimm BTW These are going up for sale as I bought some mushy 2GB whilst I waited and selling those will be a big loss, so I'll have to part with these.

OatMan Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Hey I forgot about the BIOS. Is there a particular BIOS that plays best with these z503 Micron ICs for the Expert board??? I just think its odd that I can do 270 3338 at 2.74vDimm but can't get close to 280 at any voltage or timings. Doesn't seem right.

Truckchase! Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I'm just using 704-2BTA myself.. I tried back and forth between -1 and -2, but couldn't find any appreciable differences between the two. This memory is looking great sofar.. .I'm memtesting @ 281 - 3-3-3-8 2.65v. I'm working out of slots 2 and 4, which perform significantly better than 1 and 3 on my DFI Lanparty Ultra-D.

Papas Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Finally my rma kit just arrived. Its funny.. Now this kit works default 250 only with 2,5 Volt and its not very hot, normal temperature. The serial is the same. I hope this wont die... Someone try his kit at 2,5 volt and then post your experience here... :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 lol i just read this insanely long thread... took me 45 minutes.. apparently i got the last sticks from newegg because after i bought them they were taken off the site. Batch Numbers: CL1115W.VW and CL1115N.2Z mismatched i know.. running them underclocked @ ddr452 because my mobo cant change voltage or dividers. lol. these are gonna be cooled with a 120mm fan once i figure out how to fit the huge piece of crap inside my case. lol i never realized how big 120mm fans were. any guesses to how long these will last... and if they do die what i should get? heard the ocz eb stuff was good... anyone got a link for the pc4000 ones? saw some guy with them like 3 pages back but i didnt see a link... i did speed read thru this thread though.

Papas Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 just try not to fry them with high voltage. Try 2,5Volt and see if they can run properly without any errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy2981 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 well, they said they'd send the ocz. still havent got a tracking number but it's only been 3 days. no money has changed hands-just chips. as for the new ballistix, i hear nobody has got them above 260 and even getting there is a chore. ocz tony said that the eb 4000 works well on his venus board right out of the box 270 htt. bwana, are your ballistix OEM or retail? also what date did you get them from newegg? mine are from newegg, ballistix 1Gx2 (DDR500), OEM, 12/2/2005. btw, i called newegg for RMA and the rep told me to contact crucial even after i mentioned that i would buy OCZ from them. rep said sticks are OEM and 3 months now. if it were a month old OEM sticks then they would have RMA'ed. any suggestions? thanks.

bwana Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 hippy 2981 I linked the tankguys webpage that showed the price of the crucial ($160 per stick) and I gave the newegg guy three choices-return my money, give mushkin extreme or ocz eb4000. He picked the ocz. i dont know oem or retail with my crucial-the box was brown but had a crucial sticker on it. there was no mention of oem or not. of course they probably checked my account and saw I am an oldtime newegg customer so maybe that helped-i remember newegg when they were born and signed up with them when their website was a pathetic copy of craigslist.

Alex Dinamo Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Hi guys. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to RMA my Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB in a couple of days. I just need to get some temporary replacement until Crucial sends my new memory back. Do you think I can get away with Kingston value 2x512? I don't have many options here in Mexico. Too bad for my Crucial. I had lots of expectations being a recognized brand. I hope that the RMA replacement come soon and won't fail again...
