Crucial Ballistix Problems OC'ing

[H3M1]

K i have the setup mentioned in my SiG and i have tryed other forums but this one is my last hope! K i have tryed testing the memory by itself one stick at a time and i get errors in memtest at 220@ 2-2-2-10 1:1 1t! I dont understand it on this very site it showed some fantastic numbers and i bought this ram based on this review and several others but mostly this one cause anandtech rox and have the best reviews!

What should i do?

Oh and another thing my mother board it wont boot up on stock speeds at 2.5 volts!
Could that be my m/b?

3.0 volts might be too much for crucial. I run mine at 2.7volts and it's pretty hot as is.

Most of the Ballistix I've seen will only hit 2-2-2-x speeds up to around 216MHz. Try loosening the timings if you want to go higher. Mine will pass memtest at 280MHz with 3-3-3-10 timings and 2.85V.

What is your multi at?

I dropped the multi way down so that I could just isolate the memory. I think I was only running at stock speeds or slightly over.

I can run 2.5-2-2-8 1T 2.8v @ 250MHz. But it's not 100% stable.

For stability I run it at 2.5-3-3-8 1T @ 250MHz. I then can drop the voltage down to 2.7v also. FYI Ballistix seem to like 2.7v better then 2.8v.

Anyway, 99% of the time my computer is at 10x250 1.5v 4xHTT 1:1 2.5-3-3-8 1T 2.7v
