Crucial Ballistix Elite , PN: BLE2CP4G3D1608DE1TX0CEU / 1600 8-8-8-24 1.50V

Since it's not so popular memory and I got 2 kits yesterday, I will add some tests to this thread.

....................
I'm curious if anyone has this kit or maybe compared it to 2x4GB 1866 1.50V.
I just ordered it for my friend and maybe I will keep one of these kits too.
There was nice deal on amazon - £36.15 and free shipping what is much lower than Crucial price ... and it's about half price of 2x4GB 1866 C9.

....................

EDIT: changed thread from general question to tests ( ... and maybe short review, will see )

well my m8 got thishttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-138-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387 the other day and he said there grate he felt he got a good deal .
 
My friend wanted 1866 Elite or Tactical Tracers and I was thinking about one too but price from Crucial store is quite high so we decided to get that Elite 1600 when we saw amazon price and free shipping to Poland. £60+£17 shipping vs £36.15 and free shipping is quite a difference if these both kits can perform about the same ( after oc of course ;) )
Elite 1866 can make 1600 7-7-7 , 1866 8-8-8 and 2133 9-9-9 on 1.55-1.60V. I'm counting on almost the same from 1600 kit ;) ... I just wish to know if anyone else had luck with these 1600 Elites.
 
I got 2 of these kits ( or maybe for now as 1 will go to my friend ).

Standard package , could be better but more important is inside

16GB ( 4x4GB ) tests - 1.50V

Since I have only Celeron G530 I will make faster tests for most configs. Probably will add some more when I get IB. Some tests on Celly just take really much time.
So general tests for now are performed on ASUS Maximus V Gene and Celeron G530@stock ( and stock cooler ;) ). This cpu's IMC can make up to 2270MHz on 2x2GB G.Skills/PSC so there is standard max for most SB.

Feel free to ask questions or add any comments. I just got these kits ( and I don't know how long I will have all 16GB ) so it's good time for that ;)
 
What really caught my attention on these sticks was heat monitoring, that working well ?

I got these kits yesterday and I didn't have time to check monitoring yet. I will add some info later ( now I'm at work ).
 
Crucial soft is working on MVG :thup: ...~32*C on 4 sticks without fan, 1.70V and max clock for now with 4x4GB ( unstable )

Edit:
- changed 16GB / 1600 7-7-7-20 1T to result on 1.57V ( before was 1.63V )
- added 16GB / 2133 9-9-9-28 2T 1.66V

additional notes:
16GB 1600 CL6 - any config and voltages - no boot
16GB 1866 CL7 - any config and voltage till 1.75V - no boot
16GB 2133 CL9-9-9 and 10-10-10 need almost the same voltage ( will work on it later, so far 2133 CL10 test skipped )
