Question Best memory for 9NDA3J??

Any suggestions on what memory goes best with this board (using 4/1/5 bios), my corsiar 3200LL refuses to budge above 220HTT 1.1 and only way I can go higher HTT is to set max overclock(divider) to 100.
133,166 dont help at all even relaxed timmings ,Ive tried it all.
Suggestions appreciated :-)
a little info on my findings with HTF x3 and divider @100
10x250@1.45Vcore = Passed (loop benched 3Dmark2K3 &2K5)

10x260@1.45vcore = Passed (loop benched 3Dmark2K3 &2K5)
10x270@1.45vcore = fail (loop benched 3Dmark2K3 &2K5)
10x270@1.5vcore= Passed " " "
10x280@1.5vcore= fail
For 24/7 use Im happy with 10x250@1.45, now just for some memory that can do 1.1 250mhz (ddr 4000 or higher?) what brand and make?
currently running@ 10x220 x4 1T 1.1 but its not 100% stable.
My goal for 24/7 use is 10x250 x4 1t 1.1
If U use this mobo Id like to know your findings with certain memory and what works the best!

I'm using some econo GSkill's which are rated at 2-3-3-6-1t DDR400 and have had them up to 241 1:1 at 2.5-4-4-8-1t with 2.8 v. Keep in mind that these are sub-$100 a Gig (2*512), a steal IMO. I would recommend any GSkill Samsung TCC5 or TCCD as they dont need hi voltage, stay away from the BH-5 as they typically need more volts to run, unless you wanna do a V-Mod to your board.

Currently runnin a 3200 venice at 2.7Ghz, 1.5v (270*10) 24*7, 100% stable with my cheapo GSkills runnin at 222, aka ddr333 divider at 2.5-4-3-6-1t with 2.8v. My total upgrade, mobo/ram/cpu/alpha-HS rang out to around $425, dont think I coulda done any better for my aiw-x800xt(clocked to pe of course)......

This depends highly on your CPU since most amd64 memory controllers are picky. I've had the best luck with TCC5 ram having it run up to 290mhz 1t. TCCD ram runs up to 310mhz in my system, but only in single-channel.

Edit: got a venice 3000+ and 9nda3j

So what brand are U using thats TCC5? single channel is outa the question or I would got a via KT800
In sweden and searching up prices see Gskill memory 4400(2x512) costs at least 80 euros more than a 1024 kit of Crucial ballistix tracer which use "Micron 5BG" chips of which i know nothing about but if they can run 2.8vdim with 250HTT @1.1 1T then would be happy with that.
Another option is Adata Vitesta PC4000 which have either Hynix D43,D5 or sammy TCCD these come in single so gotta buy 2 and hope they run fine in Dchannel.
Also with a XP-120 have no choice but to use slots 3 and 4 for the memory, as for this 3200+ venice managed to scale up to 2.8ghz@1.575 with divider set to 100 (only way i can encrease HTT) and Ive yet to see it break 36C, it just runs so cool, so it realy is a waste not to run it at least 2.5-2.6ghz 24/7.
Basicly dont have alot of cash and hoping the sale of these 3200LL will fund most of the next purchase ,but dont want to buy only to have to send em back so seems TCCD is the safest bet,BUT! outa curiousity anyone know anything about how "Micron 5BG" (Balistix tracer) runs with 9nda3J?
BTW these corsair 3200LL are V1.2 so Winbond CH-5 chips.

The 9NDA3J only goes up to 2.8V, surely they(ballistix tracer 4000) run stock 250 with 2.8?
and also at 1T?

Got the same sticks at exactly the same latencies with 2,7v, nice n steady. And nice and cheap too. This is my first foray OC'ing, but Iīm guessing most budget RAM canīt pull this eh?

My TCC5 is actually OCZ value ram that I got for about $70 (2x512mb). It seems that some of the ocz value modules come with high-quality chips, and there's no telling what you'll get.

The part number of this ram is ocz4001024v25dc-k and is rated at 200mhz 2.5-4-4-8, but goes up to about 250mhz at cas 2.5 and 290mhz at cas3 with 2.7v.

It seems that most of the budget stuff, corsair, mushkin, geil can get to 220-ish at 1t but fade quickly having to back-off to 2t which kills performance. IMO 240 at 1t (with 2.8 Vdimm max) seems very respectable for the price, there not gonna run with the TCCD's but 'on the cheap' I'm quite satisfied.

kogan got a 'crime of the century', TCC5's are very quick at low volts... wish I had me some, I asked GSkill what my modules were but got no reply other then NOT TCC5's.

Just like kogan said, you could buy 10 sets of the OCZ value ram and VERY maybe pickup 1 or 2 with TCC5's on them, I'm not a good gambler........

Since Im using a XP-120 HS the 1st 2 dim slots is not an option, also Id like to run the memory at 1.1 1T @250HTT @the max of 2.8Vdimm, Reverb has a thread about the Corsair 4400C25 saying brainpower pcb has issues with this board or the venice mem controler, or both?
Ive got 2 days to figure out what to go for.

I would call or email corsair support and run the combo by them........ My cheapo GSkills are on BP pcb's and they dont have any problem.
