Bito · 26 Feb 2008 at 13:13

Just seen the new Ballistix PC6400 4gb kit. Red heatspreader with red led's.

Who's going to be first then

Are OCUK getting them?

Hi there

Yes now available to pre-order at a much lower price.

hmmm - me want!

Would like to see some reviews. So far the OCZ ReaperX have impressed me as I saw one member running them 1000mhz at 1T!!!!! That's almost 11gb/sec !

So if these do similar clocks then they would be tempting

I'll be getting a couple of kits

Hey Gibbo,

Do you mean that the pre-order price is gonna be cheaper than the price when they go on full sale?

He may just be compairing it to Crucials own website price, they're selling them for £110 compaired to OcUK's pre-order price of £88.

HMMM, I think I prefer the black heatspreaders to the red. But no biggy, I hope they're good performers, I'll be getting this kit for certain if they are

remove the competitor references there if i were you!

Looks like a good 4gb kit, may get these above the new G.Skill 4GB 8500 kit. Wish they had used blue or black heatspreaders though.

I dont think it would be problem in this case, especially when the competior is the one who makes the ram and selling it at much higher price

Exactly

Anyone know which chips they are made of and how well they do?

They'll be the same chips as the new single-sided 1gb Ballistix sticks.

New Ballistix sticks? Ive just sent an email off for RMA of a ballistix pc6400 2 x 1Gb kit, and was thinking of using them with another kit for 4Gb when I get em back.

This new kit 4 x 1Gb and single sided? Multicoloured too, oooh.

ken1307 · 29 Feb 2008 at 16:02

is it me or the ram was cheaper when they were on pre-order?

Bito · 29 Feb 2008 at 18:59

It WAS cheaper.....still a good saving though.

That's a 2 x 2gb kit.

1gb Ballistix sticks are now single-sided and use a new Micron chip.

It's pretty easy to assume that the new 2gb sticks will just be a double-sided version of the new 1gb sticks.

My motherboard is limited to 2.0V for the memory. As the Ballistix is listed as 2.2V is that the required voltage to get quoted timings, or the max it will take.
