Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16gb 2x8gbs ddr3 1600mhzs overclocking voltages ???


Ok like every one else I started buying parts for a anticipated ivy bridge bridge. One of the first things I bought was one set of Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16gb (2x8gbs) ddr3 1600mhzs ..................... Now leaving them sit on a shelf and waiting for everything else to get here is just beyond my ability .....lol , so I placed them in last years computer sabertooth 990fx with a amd fx-8120 and they boot up fine but only as 1333mhzs but if I bump the voltage to 1.65 and manually set as 1600 or 1866 they will boot up fine at 2133 they boot some times but shut down when doing stuff I assume for lack of enough power.

My new mobo and I7 should be here by the end of the week:D


I would like to know the general voltages for higher mhzs such as 2400, 2600, 2800 that others have had to run stable with this Crucial ram?

Set those kits to 9-9-9-27-2T @ 1.65V and test again, if you get errors, rise voltage at 1.69V. If you can, add a little fan for that RAM.

Do you have any links for people running those kind of MHz?

go to a high lag timing ? ............... I tried lower 7-7-7-24 but wasn't stable on the amd setup . I'll try a high lag time and see what happens thanks

yes I can't bump voltage up but after 1.65 the voltage number in bois changes to red color so I wanted to see what others where using before I tried that ...lol A fan is no problem but will probably evidently water-cool if they get hot right now at either 1866 or 2133 there still pretty cool to the touch so a fan mite be enough

you can buy those tredeint ones on newegg but there way out of my price range , there was a Crucial club post somewhere but couldn't find it again so I just asked here but I would guess a few have tried to push it to those limits

Sorry for tell you this, but I have been using Crucial for years and those speed that you want are "impossible" on air with this kind of RAM. I also used my RAM at 1.75V for short time periods, enough for bench test but I don't know how sure is use it for 24/7 (not good idea I think).

"impossible on air" what about on water ?

I have plenty of room to add a second and third water cooling radiators for both RAM and Video cards, but it will probably be next month before I can afford to do those (I spent more then planed on new parts this month already) CPU is already water cooled on the 1st radiator



you you ran 1.75v what lag timings did you use?

On water maybe you can get a little more overclock but nothing amazing for justify the price of use water in your RAM. With those 1.75V and 8-8-8-24-1T my RAM ran at 1866MHz...something above that was not possible.
