Crucial Ballistix

Is crucial still putting out that bad batch of ballistix chips?

TBH a few months ago Ballistix were great because the 5300s were so cheap, and could be overclocked so much. However, they tend to die after 8-10 months and with ram prices the way they are now I would switch to something else as I have. (OCZ 8500 SLI)

not to mention the reports recently of the newer chips not clocking as well.

wonderful. I just bought a set for 20 bucks like a day ago

well thats a darned good deal. Just try not to put more than about 2.1v through them as that seems to be the tipping point as far as reliability is concerned.

i need a new set or to update my bios, my mobo keeps rejecting them, and i have to turn the comp of and unplug it for a minimum of 24 hours before itl boot again.

Well, I will be going with OCZ reapers instead then.

Good choice. So much good ram out there w/ micron ic's. Should do 1150mhz all day.

NVM i see your only using ddr?

I've got the Reapers and they're working great. Plus they look cool with the big beefy hetasink pipes sticking out the top.
