Finding out if my ram is a good batch?

Hi.

Well I have 2x 1GB of Ballistix PC5300 and 2x 1GB of GeIL Ultra PC6400, I'm just wondering if there is anywere that shows numbers for the ram that show which ones are the best clockers? Like I heard there was a specific one for Ballistix and they seemed to be good clockers, is it possible to tell from the label on the ramsinks?

Thanks.
Willz.

I dont know how to take the ransinks off though. I was wondering if the label on the ramsinks with the long serial number on could give some info.

My question is do you really care?

Just find out yourself what they can manage (again, if you really care!?)

I've killed 2 sets of Ballistix, thats why I care....

sell the ballistix and buy some faster ram...

I tried selling it, no point aint worth it, would only get like £45 for it, infact, I wont get that now, thats what I was trying to sell it when I got it back from RMA and it was bran new unsealed.

They are all double sided if they are 1GB, 512mb are single sided, mine are 1GB and double sided. Every 2 sets so far including my 3rd is too.

From my experience my 4gb of ballistix will clock very nicely. And not die unless i put <2v through them.
Currently running PC5300 at 800mhz 3,3,3,8 1.8v. Thats with 4x1gb sticks.
CPU-Z gives the chip serial numbers as:
83041678
7D13A444
84617E8B
8B03D5EF

Take from that what you will.

Your ram dies at under 2V?

Mine is 8461C7EF and 8304568F
