What does your DDR2 Ballistix clock to?

gurusan · 21 Sep 2007 at 21:07

Just curious to see at which speeds others are running their ballistix.

Please post---

-Crucial Rated Speed (pc5300,6400...etc)
-timings
-frequency (actual)
-voltage

Mine are currently running at:

-460mhz
-4,4,4,10
-2.15v
-PC2 - 5300

All four pairs I opened (PC5300) did 500mhz 4-4-4-12 @2.25v. I never bothered to find their max clock.

Ran them at 1040mhz 4-5-5-12 @2.25v 24/7.

Im using PC2-5300.

Just incase no one has seen these in real life I think I should post a couple of pics.

500mhz @ 4-4-4-12 with stock 2.2V

Azza · 21 Sep 2007 at 21:28

533mhz @ 5-5-5-15 with stock 2.2V

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

Currently running @ 550mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2V 24/7

Your going to kill your ram within the next 3 months i predict lol.

Whose?

Azza.

Balstics seems to die so easly. It overclocks like mad but just dies after a few months. At high speeds they seem to last 3 months lol.

Ill just RMA them, no problem lifetime warranty.

He's doing it all at stock voltage.

MumboJumbo · 21 Sep 2007 at 23:44

They die on stock volts lol.

Thats the thing i cant afford to keep rmaing mine when i get thenm every 3 months. Family pc and all.

gurusan · 21 Sep 2007 at 23:47

well yeah I had to RMA mine as well but they were dead on arrival.

Thats why I'm undervolting them...gonna try to get them down to 2.05v

MumboJumbo · 21 Sep 2007 at 23:50

wonder if cooling it might save them. Get a memmory cooler perhaps.

I've got an Antec 900...240mm fan right above the memory so they keep pretty cool. I don't think heat is the issue.

This is my thrid set of ballistix ive had and non of them have ever died.

I ran my old 8500 tracer @ 600mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.4V 24/7 for ages and there was nowt wrong with them.

MumboJumbo · 22 Sep 2007 at 12:31

Nothing goes wrong with them yet youve had three sets? Why is this? lol.

And you have tri sli? O my, donate to charity instead.

'Cos im always changing stuff to find something that suits my needs.

dovey · 22 Sep 2007 at 13:49

my 5300 stuff will do 600mhz @ 5-5-5-14 2.2v. orthos seemed happy with it but i keep it at 500 with 4-4-4-12 timings

easyrider · 22 Sep 2007 at 15:11

I get 14.250 secs with my OCZ flex @ 800 MHZ 4.4.4.15

I was going to upgrade to ballistix but its seems that the faster ram makes little difference if any in super PI..

Bit confused as I am running the same cloks as AZZA quad @ 3.6ghz

@ AZZA will it not run at 1 T?

w3bbo · 22 Sep 2007 at 15:21

SuperPI is heavily reliant on CPU clockspeed and timings more so than bandwidth.

Mul · 22 Sep 2007 at 15:27

502MHz (1004MHz) 5-5-5-18 2.32V with mine. Looks like my set are quite average.
