Back when I had ballistix, I started with a 4 x 1GB PC2-8500 kit which ran 1066Mhz with 5-4-4-12 2T.

I then got a set of 2 x 2GB PC2-6400 tracers, than ran upto 1200Mhz but the kit really didn't last long and was gone after 6 months.

Here are mine:
Cas 3 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=481991

Cas 4 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=481979

Cas 5 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=519358

I think mine will go higher @ Cas 5, but the board just will not do it.

what voltage did you use for your 1300mhz?
from memory mine was 2.4v i think....and everything other than 5-5-5-15 was set to auto

2.35v

Also, my prime pair which I've nick named the "Escrima sticks" have OCZ flex II coolers on them. The Cas 4 run was 2.4v and the Cas 3 was 2.5v.

Those where strickly bench runs. Not 24/7 stable.

hmm k
i run mine with the stock coolers but with either a 120 or 80mm fan sitting ontop of them
i have a 120mm fan always pointed at mine regardless of benching/word processing though

yea, just keep them cool if you are giving more then 2.2v. Also, if they start to act funny after a while just stick them in the freezer for ~20 mins. I usually put mine in the freezer just before bench runs with crazy voltage. Wait about 15 mins afterwards for them to dry completely and they will scream.

well i learnt the hard way about them dying
one stick has died (although very nicely replaced by a person who had a similar issue for free...)
it just died one day ever sitting at stock everything at the time.....
i have tried freezer for it already also

If the freezer fails try the oven, 375F/ ~8 mins. Might take the freezer again after cooking. Worked the second time I killed my Escrima sticks. That's right, I've killed them twice with 2.5v, but they are revived and still working. Actually, after cooking they seem to run much better. Go figure.
