The “New Version” of Crucial Ballistix - 20-03-08, 09:55

Didn’t scale good on CL4 …. bleh


Satu lagi RAM desktop dari Crucial yang mampir ke Lab saya. Kenapa ada “embel-embel” new version pada judul review kali ini? I’ll tell you why … tapi ntar ya, kita susun prakata untuk pendahuluan dulu LoL.

Crucial adalah perusahaan memory yang mempunyai base di US dan merupakan sub division-nya Micron. Enthusiast performance series dari Crucial adalah seri Ballistix dan Ballistix Tracer (dengan LED).

Memory DDR2 Crucial Ballistix PC8500 ini mempunyai spesifikasi teknis sebagai berikut:
Brand: Crucial

Model: BL2KIT12864AA1065
Type: 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM
Capacity: 2GB (2x1024)
Speed: DDR2-1066 (PC8500)
Cas Latency: 5
Timing: 5-5-5-15
Voltage: 2.2V
Heat Spreader: Yes

Quote:
What is Ballistix memory?
The Ballistix line is specifically built for performance enthusiasts who want to push the performance envelope without worrying about data loss or corruption, mysterious intermittent errors and display problems, or worse — the dreaded BSOD! The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders.

What is a Ballistix 240-pin DIMM?
A Ballistix dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components that are attached to a black printed circuit board. The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other. Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR2 SDRAM memory for desktop computers. DDR2 is a leading-edge generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data very fast. Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs are available in DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM (DDR2 533), DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM (DDR2 667), and DDR2 PC2-6400 (DDR2 800).

What is the meaning with Ballistix “new version”?
Tak lain adalah … well, maaf saya dengan sedih memberitahukan kepada anda kalau Ballistix versi baru ini sudah tidak memakai IC Micron D9 GMH lagi. Kenapa becc? RAM dengan D9 GMH biasanya dijumpai dengan layout 16 IC double sided yang tertanam pada ke-dua sisi board RAM, yakni sisi kiri 8 IC + sisi kanan 8 IC juga. Sedangkan Ballistix “new version” ini hanya mempunyai 8 IC satu sisi atau dikenal dengan sebutan single sided. New chip memang, new technology gitu. Sebelumnya saya kurang mengerti “potensi” overclock-ability-nya. Yang jelas nama Crucial dipertaruhkan di “new version” ini. Toh Crucial adalah sub-divisionnya Micron, sudah pasti 8 IC itu adalah keluarga Micron D9. Namun saya tidak tahu persis apa nama chipsetnya, ada informasi dari forum luar bahwa kemungkinan 8 IC itu adalah D9 NHL. … correct me if I’m totally wrong

Adapun beberapa point menyangkut “brief the new version” saya sajikan pada table berikut ini:


Double side SN sample, dijumpai pada generasi Ballistix “old”

Pada Ballistix/Ballistix Tracer lama dengan empat karakter terakhir 16FD3 mengindikasikan bahwa stick used 16 IC dikedua sisi

Single sided SN sample, is it new eh?

8FE5 …. Well, stick used 8 IC only, di salah satu sisi




Pada versi baru juga tidak dijumpai adanya 2 clip seperti versi lama.

Welcome you into my vintage rig

Test Bed
- FSP Epsilon 700W
- DFI Lan Party Dark P35 T2RS
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
- Radeon HD3870, HDD, monitor, mouse, keyboard, WinXP, etc


Quick Overclocking
PC8000/DDR1000 l 5-5-5-15 1.85V

Cocok buat yang cari target mem speed daily usage di 1000, dengan 1.85V


PC8500/DDR1066 l 5-5-5-15 2.00V

Cukup 2.0V untuk jalan default sesuai rate, 1066 5-5-5-15 … hemat 0.2V


PC9200/DDR1150 l 5-5-5-15 2.10V

Quite impressive memang untuk PC9200 CL5, …. But
Untuk menuju PC9600/1200 5-5-5-15 saya mulai menemui kendala. RAM mulai aneh dalam hal scaling. Kalo saya bisa hit 1150 C5 2.1V, harusnya (berharap) bisa OC9600/1200 C5 dengan 2.2V lah. Tapi sayang, this stick wont boot eh?? … Dengan maks 2.2V, saya cuma bisa berlari di range 1170MHz. Yo uwes kita ke CL4



PC8000/DDR1000 l 4-4-4-12 ?.??V
No … just no! This stick didn’t boot even I gave 2.3V already. End of test, maaf saya sudahi sampai di sini karena gak seru ah kalo gak bisa 1000 C4 under 2.3V

Sedikit Kesimpulan
Ada beberapa point yang bisa saya ambil untuk kesimpulan.

Pros:
+ 8 IC bekerja cukup baik 1000 – 1150 C5 dan sangat bersahabat dengan voltage
+ Harga yang murah untuk DDR1066 C5 (friendly price )
+ Good looking RAM … “yellow light better”


Cons:
- Poor 4-4-4-12 scaling, Ballistix single sided wont boot @ 1000 4-4-4-12 2.3V instead my existing Ballistix Tracer PC6400 can do 1000 4-4-4-12 2.27V)
- Alpha timing lebih kendor (missal: tRFC “new” single sided Ballistix default adalah 52, sedangkan tRFC “old” double sided Ballistix default adalah 42 dan masih bisa diketatin di sub-30)
- Tanpa garansi (harap dimaklumi, barang BM)



Website: 2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500 memory module

I gave score for this stick:
78
Yellow suppose to lighten better ….

Sori, but IMO, Micron keistimewannya kan di Cas4.. (atau di cas3), or well cas5 dengan pencapaian 1200-1300 (atau bahkan 1400)

jadi untuk memori dengan rate 1066, kok rasanya kurang yah..
Kalo cuma ngejar vdimm rendah.. saya prefer ngejar performa tinggi dengan vdimm yang masuk akal untuk daily use..
1200c5 dengan vdimm 2.2v sip lah..

Just IMO..

Memori2 dengan chip Hynix sudah terkenal dari dulu untuk pencapaian clock mem tinggi dengan cas5 dengan vdimm rendah dan harga yang lebih "bersahabat" dibanding mem dengan chip micron
