bro BlackThyra87,your D9GKX run at same setting?

tracers have heat issues... and also maybe it uses lousy d9.... by the way, its true that tracers might not be as good as it might have been.. why dont u ust try the ballistixs instead of the tracers...

if u pass memtest..

usually ure scores are higher

for the biostar mobo since its inbuilt
all my voltages that are lower than 2.3
i ran memtest86...

those that are above i dont.. cause thats insane to do it...
but roughly from previous subtimings experience i can guess what will pass and what wouldnt.

yeah... hmm cant wait to get the rams from you!!! cstkl1

by the way, when exactly would someone be able to come up with a d9 variant for overcocking for the 4Gb kits.

dude the good stuff for 4gbs are almost out of stock and soon eol

already told some of u guys its the PC2-8000 series

ocz reaperx PC2-8000
mushkin redlines PC2-8000
geil PC2-8000..

and the king currently is the ocx flex 2 PC2-9200 ( sold out everywhere)

heard from channel partners they are going to stop production as the cost of the micron chip is more expensive that pcp that can run PC2-8500 at the same voltage..

but not as overclockable

i guess that is just the norm for the tracers... had one last time on the p35-ds3 as well n it craps out at 990mhz 5-5-5-15 with 2.2vdimm

but after that i changed to normal ballistix on the same mobo and it can go around 1000mhz 5-5-5-15 on stock vdimm

That is because Ballistix Tracer suck You need Xtreem 1066 or old D9GKX godness

ya my D9GKX can run much higher speeds with no troubles

well, i didn't expect that normal ballistix and tracers differs that much! cuz both should OC well judging from results posted by overclockers around the world..

as u can see... i already bought that pair .... anybody interested swapping my tracers with normal ballistix??

i measured my ram temp (dual memtest) and the temp tops up to 56C @ load (100% memory usage) and about 46C under normal operation @ 2.2vdimm.

very true, i think tracers dont use D9GMH no more.. probably D9GCT or some other poor oc chips.

hmm 990mhz is quite a an achievement.. but i didnt test max oc of my sticks yet. gonna test it out later. i'll keep u guys posted.

wow normal ballistix can do 1ghz @ NORMAL vdimm? thats awesome... can show me some screenies? tempting...

sory wanna ask tat tracer compatible wif my mobo ka??..

anybody knw wut is the max volt for ram to oc???

here's the SS...i am still new noob to ram OC actually




yes...can use no problem.....

normally its 2.2v depending on ram... but to use on more than 2.1v, its recommended to have air cooling on it...

Forget about tracer and ballistix.Most of it are crap unless some handpick gem like coolice pair of PC2-8000. Go for Team Xtreem DDR 2 1066 or Corsair Dorminator DDR 2 1066 2GB Rev1,sure no regret

i think ballistix 2GB kits are not crap since they carry d9gmh rite? maybe tracers do crap out abit.

But yeah what cstkl1 says about rams, what rams to buy, is basically the best in the market

dude 4x1gb's are expensive..especially when u want d9gmh's

2x1gb is silly to buy.. cause ure just a pantsy if u do..
vista is the way

so its a 4gb clocking scene...
ppl want to see 4gb clocks.. whether its 4x1gb or 2x2gb..
cause thats the current need for gaming

for us who actually love online gaming for FPS and strategy..
need those 4gb's with vista.
ati HD3000 series and HD4000 series is made for vista..
they dont perform that well for xp..

so again i reiterate crucial rams are crap not because of the rams per say
we should blame ourselves for living in a malaysia..
the rams are not suitable for our climate for overclocking and 24/7 run.
the pcbs are too thin..
and was made that way to save electricity with those low voltages.

there's also debatable issue on consideration of 4 highly-oc'ed sticks cause burden on mobo.
either results in high-clocks unachievable or unstable.

so, end up 2x2gb setup seems more preferable but with very limited choices avail for nice oc-able kits.

as d9 ain't exists in 2gb sticks
somehow, nice oc-able 2gb stick's chip is still unknown?

i disagree about being silly to buy 2*1GB... i think its peoples preference and what exactly the users purpose is to use the rams for.. If you cant utilize 2GB why move to 4GB. theres nothing pantsy about it.

a1098113, 2 gb is definately not enough for vista especially in those FPS and strategy game. In XP u might survive with 2gb but in Vista u need more.

so far after i upgrade my platform to vista, average ram utilization is hitting 2.5gb during normal gaming session. I ran riva tuner side by side to monitor the resource utilization.

btw, ocx flex 2 PC2-9200 is da king as cstkl mention at the moment..... sadly all runnig out of stock

even the 32-bit vista basic? does it need 4GB? as well? Anyways, i do know that vista is a whore with rams.. but.. hmm 2*1Gb is still pretty useful and not as bad as purported by cstkl1... what i am trying to say is that, having 2Gb doesnt mean youre pantsy.. anyways lets get on with the topic... and be more productive By the way, any 4GB kits that can hot 1200Mhz?

dude even on dota if i the game takes like 45mins to 1 hour
will run with out of mem

thats how bad 2gb on vista is..
lets not even go to new games..

i think u guys gaming on high reso.. mine still ok on 1280x1024..
highest hit ~2.3gb
so by everage depend on users need..
