Ballistix Sport LT Overclocking

Any owners who've had the kits few months and doing say >3600MHz (preferably on Ryzen 3000 series) able to share how stable the RAM has been?
tamzzy said:
fine. limited by infinity fabric than the ram

I read the whole thread prior to posting, nothing really stood out as high stability share. For example I have 22k% run of Kahru RAM Test on HW I use currently. So what is the metric to state all is fine?

Hopefully Tuesday the kit I ordered arrives, BLS2K16G4D32AESB.

Spoke too soon, just had a series of issues, BSOD and frozen desktop.

Reverted back to original settings and same issues. :confused:

Oh dear :(
Have you checked that the CPU can run infinity fabric at 900mhz? (Ie ram:if at 1:1 ratio)

I must have the worst Ryzen 9 3900X if it can't.

I had 3, only 1 could do 1900MHz FCLK/UCLK/MEMCLK 1:1:1, other 2 3733MHz. All tested on 4x8GB Samsung B die on C7HWIFI. A R7 3700X was also limited to 3733MHz. The R5 3600 I have, can do 3800MHz and when tweaking BCLK to check max FCLK it reaches higher than all the other Zen2 CPUs I've had, but falls shy of 1933MHz.

personally, mine went through 7h of aida ram test and also no random crashes on day-to-day usage

Cheers :) .

Read some gaining nice clocks and others not. I'm hoping I do, as I reckon I can depart with the B die 4x8GB at a price which will cover the cost of the Micron E die and leave some £ in my pocket. Besides the £ factor I'll gain 2 slots back for future upgrade if needed.

Any others have some shares based on usage over length?
 
R9 3900X (Batch Code: BF 1944SUT)
C7HWIFI UEFI 3004 AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.4B
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2x16GB kit (BLS2K16G4D32AESB)

RX Vega 64
Intel 660P 1TB NVMe on M.2_1 of mobo
ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card with 2x Adata SX8200 Pro 1TB NVMe (PCI-E slot in bifurcation of 4x/4x)
2x SATA HDD 2TB

Bykski A-Ryzen-ThV2-X (AS5 TIM)
2x Magicool 360 G2 Slim rads (3x Arctic Cooling F12 PWM per rad, top as exhaust, front as intake)
EK XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM

Be Quiet Dark Base 900 with mesh mod to front, upper panel mesh airflow improved. 1x Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 140mm PWM 1000rpm used as rear exhaust.

No additional cooling to RAM, 3333MHz had done RAM Test of 200%, completed a bench of AIDA64 and when went to open Ryzen Master system froze. Upped VDIMM to 1.355V on rerun did not have same issue. Run upto 3600MHz was nice and easy, ~1hr into Kahru RAM Test saw 5 errors. 3666MHz even with some changes to slights changes to ProcODT/RTT/timings/voltages hasn't gained me further stability, all tests on that MEMCLK have so far had extremely high error count in <50% run of RAM Test. At times experienced BSOD.

All test data in this ZIP, organise by time to see process better of testing so far.

So far my opinion is it's decent RAM in context of price.

I saw on the Reddit thread people saying Micron E is easier on IMC, IMO hyperbole.

Samsung B die is more flexible, is more friendly IMO, same sorta testing I can be up at 3733MHz/3800MHz with ease. If you already have B die or it is costing not vastly more than Micron E it is the better buy still with Ryzen 3000 if you value ease of OC, etc, etc.

Past testing of current R9 3900X on 4x8GB 3800MHz RAM Test 22K% PASS in this ZIP, same chip on 3733MHz using stock voltages for SOC/CLDO_VDDP/CLDO_VDDG/VDIMM, etc.

Will carry on with some more testing :) .

*** edit ***

Just as background I spend more time tinkering with my rig as pastime then using it.

After seeing how I need to increase SOC from 1.025V to 1.043V to gain past ~1hr on RAM Test with Micron E@3600MHz there is no longer a doubt it is not easier on IMC vs Samsung B die.

The C7HWIFI uses daisy chain topology, should favor 1 dimm per channel (ie the Crucial kit of 2x16GB), but I have high stability runs of 4x8GB Samsung B die at even stock voltages@3800MHz, see these ZIPs 1, 2 & 3.

I am now balled over with the price/performance of Micron E die :cool: ...

First this screenie, left to right:-

  • 3x AIDA64 for usual timings I use on Samsung B die
  • 3x AIDA64 for current timings I'm using on Micron E die.
  • Initial testing for the Micron E die profile as used for 3x AIDA64.
  • 3737% RAM Test for 3x AIDA64 3800C16, but VDIMM 1.365V.

Next 12.5K PASS in Kahru RAM Test for 3800C16 1.365V.

Here's an updated ZIP for 3800MHz testing so far, organise files by time, Setup means profile set in UEFI, WP means a Warm Post test run, SPx means count of testing on Same Post, when a filename is repeated exactly I'm just capturing data of the same test run but later in it.
 
An updated ZIP for Micron E die 3800MHz mixed testing of ~31hrs continuous uptime, organise files by time.

Filenames at beginning have:-

  • Setup means test on POST when profile setup in UEFI.
  • FCP means a full fold POST, ie power supply switched off from wall prior to POST.
  • FP means a full POST from shutdown.
  • WP means a warm POST test run.
  • SPx means count of testing on same Post.
  • When a filename is repeated exactly, just capturing data of the same test run but later.

Thanks for that. You have a really good set there!
