renesis07 Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) planning to get one..any comment on this ram? ________ Zx14 Vs Hayabusa Edited April 25, 2011 by renesis07 Quote
puppet_whiz Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 yeah...im planning to get one too.......crucial ballistix tracer 6400 ddr2 800 2gb(2x1gb).... is the ram running at 800mhz default?need help from crucial users......coz smone said to me that we need to tweak it to achieve 800mhz...all performance ram is like that....according to him.....WTH...is it true?currently im using xms2 ddr2 800 2gb......running default 800mhz.....he said those who buy corsair is stupid,corsair performance ram is same as its value ram,just added the heatspreader....is it true also? need guidance from experts.....(",) Quote
Just Learnin' Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I am no expert but at 4-4-4-8 with 2.2 volts it runs 800MHz easily. I have had that Crucial kit to near 940MHz at those timings benching using 2.4 volts. I have no experience with the corsair. Quote
BenchZowner Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 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 Quote
renesis07 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) 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? ________ Gaston chevrolet history Edited April 25, 2011 by renesis07 Quote
killert Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I have em, they do DDR2-1300 SP32m stable @ 2.35v Quote

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. Quote

BenchZowner Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Yes, some boards will automatically set the to work at DDR2-800, others won't and you'll need to set them up manually. It's easy. And you don't have to worry at all. Quote
Monstru Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Crucial Ballistix 8500 2x1gb kit and Crucial 10th Anniversary Edition on the way. Quote
Monstru Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Crucial 10th Anniversary Edition have arrived....After 10 minutes of playing with them on Dfi Infinity P965-S it looks like this: 1202Mhz 5-4-4-18 2.375v 800Mhz 3-3-3-10 2.1v And yeah...oh yeah....they are the 1.8v version LE: To lazy to resize the screenshots now, will do it some other time Quote
71proste Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Crucial Ballistix 8500 2x1gb kit and Crucial 10th Anniversary Edition on the way. 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. Quote
Monstru Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Well, actually P965 (Dfi) does like cl 3...but only the Dfi... Quote
71proste Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 not only,Abit Quad GT as well(I965),but not my Commando;) Quote
JMKS Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 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, 1:1 i965 4444 7-10-094 1:1 i965 3-4-4-4 7-07-563 Quote
71proste Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 CL3 bug with i965 is myth .You sure, 71proste, that You are not booting with CL4 and changing via MemSet to CL3 this is what im doing,i didnt say that im booting with cl3:confused: 1:1 i965 4444 7-10-094 1:1 i965 3-4-4-4 7-07-563 small diference about 3sek ..but when im booting with cl5 and than change to cl4 via Memset i see the huge diference,hmm...i thought it should be same with cl3 if the system still stable...

Crew Turrican Posted September 18, 2007 Crew Posted September 18, 2007 wow, those ballistix aren't bad Quote
Monstru Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I finnaly managed to attach the screenies 1. SPD 2. 800Mhz 3-3-3-10 2.1v 3. 1202Mhz 5-4-4-18 2.375v 4. a thing of beauty.... Probably that myth came from the small difference you get in Spi1M with Cl3 vs Cl4 on some i965 boards.... Quote
71proste Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Where did u get AE very lucky man:) My AE gone,too much vmem:eek: http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spi1m415ghzwr5.jpg Quote
Monstru Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 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 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 I am still curious how the 8500 Crucials that I will receive from the States will perform... Quote
71proste Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 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 Quote
Monstru Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Thank you my friend, I really was a lucky bastard regarding the AE kit 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......
