Lets go Ballistix

[SuB]

wow they're well stuck on then! i won't be removing the spreaders off my shiny new 8500's then!

(yet to actually install it all but 4gb of the stuff is going to rock i hope!)

 

[jabski]

i got some new tracers i will be trying out over the wekkend/next week

 

[Azza]

When I seen this I was thinking to myself 'I canny remember posting this on here'

So confusing with the EP-UK threads on here now.

I should be getting some Ballistix PC-6400 for Christmas for my new rig, they look sexy

 

[ken_shiro]

Got 2Gb of pc2-6400 ballistixs in my rig, good ram, really overclockable

 

[Luigi]

i got 4gb of the pc 5300 stuff. easily runs 940mhz @ 2v

 

[tsinc80697]

Quality ram, was surprised how well the 5300 clocks!

 

[Luigi]

yeah me too, im waiting on a new mobo (asus maximus) gonna see how far they go then, my striker is stuck on 940mhz

 

[Rastalovich]

Quality.

I`ve noticed with some heatspreaders that they stick up at the bottom when u get them, but with a little heat and a bit of pressing, all seems to work out well.

Outstanding pics btw.

 

[tsinc80697]

Glad I bought these, should be able to keep up with my G0 under water next week

 

[Luigi]

same although i need a new loop 1st this one sux

600mhz @ 5-5-5-15 with 2.3V

man your voltages are way too high.

i can prime my Q66 g0 for 8hrs at 9x400=3.6 gig on 1.4v (set in bios) with no errors, i got bored after 8hrs.

 

[Ham]

Or maybe every cpu needs different settings to overclock and youve just got lucky?

 

[joner]

na i dont think that i got that lucky.

the Q66 G0 is kinda nearly sure to hit 3.6 gig with below 1.5v on a decent mobo.

the key is getting over the 3.6 optimal clocks with as as low a voltage as you can.

im getting into 1.65v when im heading for 4gig+.

i dont really think that that is a good chip as i have seen good G0s doing 4.3 on 1.55v.

ps. volts in bios.

 

[K404]

Id be tempted to say that Q6600s doing those MHz at that voltage were either suicide CPU-Z shots, had an aircon unit over the delta-fan-cooled heatsink for a SPi 1M or were sub-zero....

 

[Luigi]

yup, or all of that

 

[NobodyNowhereNothing]

Recieved a kit of 2GB 8500 last week, today i had a chanse to test them and short version : RMA!

Hopefuly the replaced kit will be ok!

 

[macgamesrule]

I had to comment on the quality of the pix in the first post... excellent close ups!

The RAM's nice too, I'm looking at those for my build in May.
