Ballistix + P5N-E SLI = Headaches

Do me a favor bud....can u give me a direct link to those Corsair sticks within NewEgg please. I think i'll order them right now. Thanks in advance.

p.s. - I have to do it to isolate this issue or else i'll go insane thinking about it.

They don't overclock buddy.. Not at all. Okay... maybe like to 850 MHz, but that doesn't count. I wouldn't get them unless you're running stock.

After I posted I realized we're running different proc's. I was initially going by the fact you mentioned you were at 3.6 stable. Need to find sticks that'll run at least 880Mhz. Thanks for the link anyway.....appreciate it.

if you try to up your ram much above ddr1000 this mobo will cry and throw random bsd tantrums.

link to my ram fyi

And my Tracers can run 1066 MHz and pass memtest86 for 12 hours no errors; and that's with it running less than stock voltage.

Am I the only satisfied Crucial + P5NESLI user? My first set ran 1000MHz/4-3-3-6 @2.17V, my RMA replacements do 1000MHz/4-3-3-8 @2.25V. TBH I think running 4-3-3-6 is what killed my first set.

Also when I was linked 1:1 @1066MHz FSB (2.4GHz stock CPU) my RAM was very happy. When I overclocked the best my RAM would do is 1000MHz.

Ok....well I've gone and done it. I have ordered the Maximus Formula and am ditching my P5NE-SLI. I won't be hanging in the P5NE thread anymore, but am more than happy to take ???s by PM.

In related news, I sold my P5NE, D820, PC2/4200 ram, 465W enermax, and 2x20GB ATA133 drives to my homie for $250. Basically, he buys me the Maximus and I upgrade his aging 1.0GHz Athlon rig. All he'll need is a decent video card (something better than my 7600GT) and he's good to go.

dont bother with the max formula dude, get the p5e as its just a re stickered max f anyway with a couple of features removed.

it would save you a couple of bucks for a gpu.

Which version did you get? I was looking at the SE but i dont really need to have a dual card setup. As you can tell ive ditched the board as well and got myself a P5k. It was a good board while it lasted but it was a great boardand all good things have to come to an end.

I'm also sick of this board. Too bad I have to stick with this. I'd love an ASUS Maximus Formula..
