I managed to run 4-4-4-12 @ 1066Mhz with only the stock 2.2v.

But this was with the old type of PC2-8500 modules and I had quite a lucky set.

I've got two ballistix 800s in my box now and two 1066s on their way.

I tried clocking up my 800s to 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.2V and they're not stable. Won't pass superpi, prime95, or memtest.

Do I have to up anything else to get them stable?

This is what my voltages look like (all stock) except RAM which is at the specified 2.2V

No, they most likely will not run 1066Mhz.

Its a shame that the quality of ballistix RAM is going down down and down.

Why won't they run 1066? O_o
I've seen people getting their 800s over 1200..
I've got the older double sided modules.

Edit: I'm looking now and I see them getting as high as 1040 with timings at 4-4-4-12.. so I know they'll go higher at 5-5-5-15..

So why can't mine go? =\

DaftFully17: Do you have your ballistix overclocked? Why do you think I can't get my 800s up to 1066?

If you don't mind, could you have a look at my other topic about it and see what I might be doing wrong.. I've got some screenshots of my bios settings there.

Thanks
