planning to get one..any comment on this ram?

 

It's the same like the "normal" Ballistix, just with some "flashy" LEDs...apart from that they're both the same, and using Micron D9GMH chips [ the best chips for DDR2 ]

 

They'll do at least what the average D9GMH kit can do...more or less ? depends on your luck.

You can pick a kit which will do DDR2-1150 with 5-5-5-15 timings, you can also pick a kit which will reach DDR2-1250 with 5-5-5-15 timings...it's all about luck as long as you pick up a kit with D9GMH/D9GKX chips ;)

yup.. i know about the chip..it uses D9GMH(B6-3)..but some of my fren bought crucial ballistix 6400 which is supposed to run at 800..but what happened is the ram only run at 667..the person who r selling the ram told us dat its normal for this ram to run at 667..therefore, owner have to tweak it as to make it reach 800.. is it true?

It's not a fault of the memory, nor a problem.

With some motherboards you have to manually set your RAM to run at their rated frequency.

And yeah...oh yeah....they are the 1.8v version ;)

Crucial Ballistix 8500 2x1gb kit and Crucial 10th Anniversary Edition on the way. :D

 

my Ballistix 8500 running 3-4-3-4 1060Mhz 2.375v very nice kit:o,but I965(Commando)doesnt like cl3 to much,cl4 same or even faster.

CL3 bug with i965 is myth :).

You sure, 71proste, that You are not booting with CL4 and changing via MemSet to CL3 [it does nothing in fact ;)]? Because 500 CL3 with such low voltage is absolutely unbelievable.

 

The key is 3-4-4-x not 3-3-3-x and 1066 strap of course [or modded - this is tricky ;)]. And CL must be booted from BIOS, other may be changed on the fly,

Probably that myth came from the small difference you get in Spi1M with Cl3 vs Cl4 on some i965 boards....

Nice mem you had there mate :)

 

If I tell you how did I get them you will run away either crying or insanely laughing...

 

I bought them brand new, from a guy who didn't knew what he had, and he sold them to me for something like 133 USD :D

 

I didn't get enough time to test them yet (maybe some 608i testing just for show-off) but I am beggining to love them already :D

 

I am still curious how the 8500 Crucials that I will receive from the States will perform...

U Lucky Bastard(joke) i cant believe U,WOW

What can i say:)

Ballistix 8500 have almost same skills as AE,some of them r better.

Make sure that radiator have good connection with memory chip and i wish u nice results with them...

peace

Thank you my friend, I really was a lucky bastard regarding the AE kit :D

 

I am really waiting to get my hands on those 8500. I will also get a 6400 kit for a friend of mine, so maybe I'll make a little round-up before I give those away, between Crucial AE, 8500 and 6400 and my old Mushkin XP6400 and some Mushkin 9200......Really curious how they would compare to each other :)

 

Anyway, that will not happen until october, so I'll better find some time for the AE kit, 'cause they deserve it......
