what ballistix is this

That's what I get for my Ballistix 6400, I think.

I cant get that with the latest cpu-z. When did cpu-z start labelling JEDEC and EPP standards?

Darryl_1983 · 19 Feb 2008 at 15:31

I get the same JEDEC and EPP readings on my ballistix pc6400 C4. Currently running at 1000Mhz, 5-5-5-12 with 2.2 volts.

But i believe the ballistix range are all pretty much the same ram. the pc5300 is C3, pc6400 is C4, and the pc8500 is C5. The looser timings allows for faster speeds.

anyone got ballistix they can do ss of cpuz on as im gonan sell these but dunno what they are

Jokester · 19 Feb 2008 at 16:11

Should tell you what they were sold as on the labels on the sticks?

Cupra · 19 Feb 2008 at 16:44

no m8 thats what i thought but it doesnt

Darryl_1983 · 19 Feb 2008 at 16:52

I'd say it was the pc6400 C4 version. But if you can change the timings to 4-4-4-12 set voltage to 2.2 and make sure it runs well past 800Mhz, then try 5-5-5-18 at 2.2 and go for over 1066Mhz. At least then you can state that the ram will run at these speed when selling it.

No labels on the stick whatsoever? You sure they arent reflashed ballistix 667mhz (or worse) sticks being sold as 800mhz ones?

All the Crucial I've seen has had a sticker on with at least the model of ram on it.

V|per · 19 Feb 2008 at 19:00

Every stick of ballistix i have had (and there's been quite a few!) have not had a sticker stating it's stock speeds/timing... there have however been stickers with a batch and part number...

Part number being 72953 on all 10 sticks of pc5300 i have here.

The other puzzling things is that pc2-6400 ram has a 1000mhz setting. Why?

IAmATeaf · 19 Feb 2008 at 19:54

Here you go, this is for my 2 x Ballistix 6400 1Gb modules, what you now need is somebody with 5300 and 8500 to post theirs:

muon · 19 Feb 2008 at 20:08

When did you buy those?

IAmATeaf · 19 Feb 2008 at 20:10

Sometime last year, why?

EDIT: Just checked got them around April last year.

Jokester · 19 Feb 2008 at 20:15

That's my 5300, does 5-5-5-15 at 500MHz and 2.2V.

muon · 19 Feb 2008 at 21:00

Yep, i get that as well. Mine were bough june last year.

Does 500mhz at cas5 with 2.0v though

.

8500 looks exactly the same as your 6400, except EPP#2 Frequency is 533 MHz. All the rest of the timings are exactly the same.

Just to confirm...
