amdcamaro - question on the super pi time in your profile.

Did you round off to get 15 or did you run that at higher bus - that's alot better than what I get on a nearly identical system. I get 15.9 at 3.2, to get 15.0 flat I would have to go to 3.4 G (I seem to drop about .5 seconds/100Mhz)

Just curious as the only real processing diff bewteen us is I have tighter timings/different memory than you.

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Crucial Ballistix. They are DDR2 800. They run flawless at stock. But if you try to OC them at all, they start causing errors. I have tried relaxing the timings, and upping the voltage (from 2.17 to 2.5, the only 1 step increment there is) and still they cause errors. I'm going to try upping the voltage 1 more step, but I will be pushing 2.3v So I need help.

I used the un-modded version, so I do not get the 15.876 or whatever the score would be. When I get home I will DL the modded version and check

Came out at 15.984, guess I should have skipped the second 8800 GTS and bought better ram huh?
15.906 if I run 5-5-5-12.

Which slots are they in?...Many people (including me) have had stability issues with the yellow slots. Use the black ones.

Same here

I have tried the black ones, and they were even more unstable in those.
I also upped the voltage to 2.35 and they still just cranked out the errors in memtest86+

lol yea. My Ballistix would not pass Memtest86 running 800MHz 5-7-7-21 Trc=31 @2.2V in the yellow slots. Stock is 1000MHz 5-5-5-15 Trc=30 @2.2V. I run 1000MHz 4-3-3-6 Trc=18 @2.2V in the black slots.

i'm thinking of ebaying this board, and just buying a different one. I'm kind of starting to hate it.
But yeah, if any of you have ballistix ddr2 800, what are your complete settings and bios version? That would help me alot!

Ok, after testing the ram sticks individually, I have determined that one sticks will OC, while the other won't. I keeps causing errors. So Looks like I have to RMA one of my sticks (damn, the 4th item in 2 months ) SO, I;m gonna test to make sure, but i'm pretty sure i will have to rma.


EDIT: I'm at 900MHz and counting!
