Well, I traded my 4 gig of OCZ for 4 gigs of 4 * 1 gigs PC6400 ballistix tracer, I know They overclock better once you loosen the tRFC timing. Not sure of the down side as to yet, still waiting on my CPU to get here & I also canceled my order for the Q6600 CPU for now.
So, does anyone think I made a bad trade for these? has anyone used them?, I was reading a post that a guy was able to OC them to 575 MHz ( stable ) by loosening the tRFC and the tRAS timings.

Which OCZ RAM did you have? why the trade? I had the 8500 version of the tracers and they had issues.. had to RMA them. They sent me 8500 Ballistix (not the tracers.... so some reason) i was gonna kick up a fuss but did a little reading... the tracer RAM require .2v more then the none tracer to deliver the lights... so i thought sod it.. I'll keep what i have.
Its good RAM! the Tracers look ace fitted!

Well. I traded the OCZ because They was having issue over clocking, and once I get my E6750 back I'll be going to Liquid cooling, Hence the reason for the cancel on the Q6600. The only issue with the memory I have found is there very Power hungry, and they must be rav at 2.2v or higher, if not you will get blue screen of death here and there. After further looking into the Memory. I did find a guy that had a sweet timing set, He had them clocked to 693 and was Stable, so I'm starting to feel better about the trade. The OCZ memory I had was the Reaper series. Edit* I also forget to say, once the wife found out about the RMA E6750, that what put the stop to the Q6600  but in due time  My goal is to get the E6750 running at 3.8 to 4GHz, I've been looking into the cpu now, and with water cooling, I'm positive I can reach very high OC with my system once I get my board and CPU back. However, I feel as if I flip flopping on the issue now, but can anyone recommend a good Liquid CPU cooler? I've been looking at a bunch, and the last system I had was the evercool 202, and was cheap built, Pump went out after 6 months. |
