I am getting a new set of 2x512 4000 Ballistix ram...
What voltage can I run them at?
Where is their sweet spot, with what timings, and mhz?

I am not getting the Tracer's BTW.

I can't find a good review...so any links to reviews that answer these questions would be cool too...thanks guys

I'm not sure about that RAM in particular, but most DDR RAM can handle 2.9v with no problems or no additional cooling. It's just a general of thumb, though, so YMMV.

Yeah I know 2.9 for normal ram...But I read a review that had it up to 3.2V...and I want to know if that is normal running V or will it fry with that many volts...

Itll fry like bacon at that volt... without a fan. Try running those sticks at 2.8v or 2.9v.

I will have a fan blowing on ram...but with my asrock dual sata2 board the 3.2 mod is way easy...VS the mods to get me to 2.9V...
