RE: Under clocking Ballistix DDR3 1600

Hello! I'm currently running this kit: BL3CP25664BN1608 on a P6T Deluxe V2 with i7 920 D0. I would like to run this kit at DDR3 1333 with tighter timings. I think the default timings for this kit is 8-8-8-24, 2T but, I'm not sure. Preferably, I would like to set timings to 7-7-7-24 although I'm not sure if this is a possibility. It would be nice to hear from others who have tried this and has encountered any stability issues. Also, What would be the best voltage setting If I'm able to run this set at the desired timings and speed (1333, 7-7-7-24). Is it possible to run this set at for example.....1.5V instead of 1.65V? One last question if I may....does under clocking nullify the warranty? My apologies for all the N00B questions.

Hi billaboo,

 

The  timings we recommend for this kit are:

 

DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz)

Timings= 8-8-8-24

Voltage= 1.65V

 

However, it will be fine to run these modules at 1333MHz, 7-7-7-24 because you are not pushing it above it's limits like overclocking does.  We would recommend that you keep the voltage at 1.65V though rather than 1.5V.  This does not affect your warranty.

 

Thanks
