Voltage didnt help? Very odd. I never trusted their BGA PC4000 anyway. You might have better luck with the PC3200 instead?

I'm curious how tight could you get the timings at PC4000 speeds? If you got like 2,2,2,5 that's pretty darn good RAM. Otherwise terrible.

yeah, ive heard this stuff isnt special, wouldnt be surprised if the pc3200 and the pc4000 have the same chips. so its probably hit its limits

Wow then this stuff is pretty poopy if it can't do PC4000 with out low timings.

Hahaha buying memory based on weight... OCZ memory would win the majourity of the time with copper spreaders, and they are hella thick too.
Or buying memory by the pound, $200 for 2 pounds of memory. That would be sweet.

You might get a kick out of this.
Not too long ago, I lamented that the price of ram had gotten so expensive, that it was probably worth its weight in gold. One of the guys, and I can't remember whom, took me up on it and weighted some of his ram and then calculated its cost per gram and guess what...it WAS worth its weight in gold. Came out to about $380-$400 per ounce (ballpark).
How's that for funny (it really shouln't be funny that ram costs us as much as gold, but it does if you buy high end stuff)?

^^ Did you return them yet. That is damn good for a stick of mT. Try running 3-2-2-11. See what that does.situman said:
Micron hates Cas2 and dosnt run it worth a damn at all. By the way... Cas3 on Micron sticks. = Cas2 on Winbond

It's not the same micron as the OCZ EB stuff so it should do cas 2 fine. Also cas 3 doesn't equal cas 2 on winbond. Cas 2 winbond = EB from OCZ.....it's all about the SPD

^^ Actually it *IS* the same thing. Its just a later revision. *You* are thinking of Samsung TCCD. Try cas3 and see what happens.

No I'm not thinking of the samsung they overclock much better than this ram. Even if this is a different rev of the mT's it's a totally different bag

Its just speed binned... does anyone have a picture of the RAM? I am 99.9% positive that it is mT -5B C. Which means *no Cas2*
and BTW, I am running mT on my PC

No, micron redid the the mT for the Balistix series to do CAS 2. It's not the same stuff as the EB chips.

Ah, very interesting. I might pick some up if it does ok. Any other results besides situman?

Situman I would try softening the timings, see what gives. It may be possible to do more at 2.5-3-3-11 @ 270 or so, which is still damn good.
