Thanks to ExtremePC.com.au for lending me a 2GB kit of Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 memory modules to test out

Typical Crucial conservative memory rating scheme

Specs:

• 2GB kit (1GBx2)
• Ballistix 240-pin DIMM
• DDR3 PC3-12800
• DDR3-1600 8-8-8-20 at 1.8v
• Unbuffered NON-ECC
• 128Meg x 64

Some photos for now. Bit busy right now, so testing will begin later this week hopefully I shall have some X38 chipset motherboards to test them out on later this week or next week





Notice cpuz reports this 2GB Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800 supports XMP - Extreme Memory Profiles for X38

Last bench for the nite :D







Weird SPD XMP profile 3.155v vdimm in Everest and 4.55v XMP profile in cpuz SPD LOL

Nice mine do 1866MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings at 1.9Volts, haven't pushed them any further yet...

Nice stuff Eva! Good to see you still benching away!

Going to swap out my Blitz Extreme for P5K3 Deluxe and see if it's any better for DDR3 heh

Nice job eva

Which X38 boards are you getting?

I gotta get back into this, I've had my rig down for months now and I've also got a new apogee block and 6GB of D9's sitting here, all untested

haven't tried on P5K3 Deluxe yet as ran into a bit of a problem last night - my Belking surge protector board the P5K3 Deluxe was connected to, went pop and literally smoke came out of it and tripped several safety switches at the mains box and entire house blacked out LOL

Ordered a new surge protector while I ram the smoked one hehe

Just before the smoked Belkin Surgemaster power board happened, I did pull off my fastest <3600Mhz 32M time to date (faster by ~2 seconds)!
