I got them to work at 270 but not at 1T

think it is more a problem with my mobo than the ram

tried 2.6 and 2.7, this mobo fluctuates my voltages +/- .5 volts every second

maybe I need to adjust my psu :shrug:
 
i know the ballistix works well generally with the dfi board but you're using the asus right??? with that i'm not so sure

do they work at 250 3-3-3-8 1t?

like i said mine are hitting 275 3-3-3-8 1t @ 2.6v haven't needed to try further yet, and loads of others have the same results as mine but usually i've seen them on the dfi board.
 
What I found with this ram was the motherboard does not provide enough memory tweaks, thus if you check out my screenshot from above I had to use A64 Tweaker to make things stable.
 
it will run 1T at 3-3-3-8 at 250 with 2.7 volts

and will stay at 1T thru the 250's, but once I hit 260 and above it has to run at 2T

The asus board just isnt a good overclocking board compared with the DFI

anyone wanna trade :santa:
 
hmm.. mine's at 295 3-3-3-6-7-0-1T @ 2.8v maybe it's something else...? And I didn't buy them in the kit either, I bought 2 separate 1GB sticks from newegg. Am I lucky?
Try the other timings, try burning in at stock 3-4-4-10-2T @ 250mhz 3.0v for about 24 hours of memtest 86...then move to 260 3-3-3-8-10-16-1T @ 2.8v
