My ram died

Wile E · Feb 22, 2008

A stick of my 1200MHz Trascend axeram just died on me. Thank god Newegg is so easy to deal with. My rma was approved instantly. Threw my Crucial back in for the moment, so not a big deal. Just wanted to share.

erocker · Feb 22, 2008

Anything I need to be aware of? :eek:

I'm always running mine at 1200mhz and just under 2.2v's @ 5-5-15. It's unbelievable how cool these things run. I wish you the timeliest RMA possible. :toast:

You're on the east coast and they come out of NJ so it won't be too long. I always have to wait the longest for RMA's.

Thats not fun, but at least newegg is always easy to deal with, hope you get them back in there

Nah. Just a defective stick. I've been having weird app crashes lately, and thought it was because of my cpu OC, as more vcore seemed to help. Must've just been a coincidence. But anyway, I downclocked to 2.6GHz, and set my ram to run at 960 5-5-5-15 to run Specviewperf 10, as a direct comparison to AthlonX2's Phenom. Bench kept crashing. Threw in my memtest iso, and the bad stick errors in less than a second. lol. Other stick was 100% fine for a whole loop.

And thanks for the best wishes. :toast:

Same here, remember when I fryed my RAM at 2.5 volts, I though it was my OC that was giving me all the BSOD's, turned out to be the RAM. Newegg is really easy with RMA's, thats one of the best things about them.

Oh I love newegg.. I thought I sent in my rma (well had my uncle send it out) and a month later when I had to send out the mobo, they still took the ram rma.... I was so thankful! Turned out that the brand I was rmaing was out of stock, So I was able to TRY and get the transends... But I'm happy with my Crucial's!
Newegg FTW!
BTW wile e, it just proves my point. Your Neweggs whore!

You never let go do you?

You can see what you could of had in the case gallery.

Heck no! that was the funnest thing! Now, whats the odds of a person in our forum buying the SAME product at the SAME time? And on top of that it was "stolen" from my shopping cart! Its just plain unheard of! So you'll all ways be in my thoughts when I oder... I guess thats why I order my last set right when I got to work on pay day... 5am! You have to sleep sometime!

How long have you had your kit? I've had mine for a month and a half at 1150 5-5-5-15 2.2 vdimm. Mine crank. Were you actively cooling them?

Had them for almost 2 months. Ran them daily at rated specs, ran them to 1400Mhz once on 2.34V, just to see how high they would go. And ran them at 1290, stock timings and volts for probably about 15 3Dmark06 runs. Haven't had them over 1200Mhz in about 3 weeks. They just started acting up maybe a week ago. And yeah, they are actively cooled.

Micron D9GMH dying?
But ... that must be, like, impossible!

I have never killed a stick of ram before.................

Nope. It's something like 6 or 8, right? lol

at least u didnt void their rma(that shirt at thinkgeek fits you, you void alot of warrs

)

i love my 4gb of axeram 800, im at 969 atm 5-5-5-15, trfc 75ns, async 7ns good stuff

said it b4 and say it again, axeram rocks, even if u had a stick die, you know, "shit happens" and in my case, well if a stick dies, i gotta rma a kit, so what, i got a spair kit, tho i been told transend will rma 1 stick at a time if they got the ram you bought in stock

DaMulta · Feb 22, 2008

You keeping your chipset cold wiliE?

I have a new theory that the memory controller fries DDR2 when not properly cooled.

ChillyMyst · Feb 22, 2008

*is glad he dosnt have intel, to many things can go wrong* lol honestly, i have seen so many intel users complaing over the time c2 has been out, that it makes me laugh, my god, how can you stand it, chipsets/boards that fry ram, or that have to use converters/adapter chips to run ddr2 because the chipset itself is designed for ddr3 and nobody in their right mind is gonna pay that price for ddr3.

*hugs is "slow" but very stable amd rig*

largon · Feb 22, 2008

ChillyMyst,
What converter/adapter chips are you talking about?
And what are these "chipsets/boards that fry RAM"? Besides, X38 is the only LGA775 chipset out yet that supports DDR3 - but it also supports DDR2.

ChillyMyst · Feb 22, 2008

from what i was reading the x38 uses a converter chip to support ddr2 because internaly the chip only acctualy support ddr3.

as to killing ram, evga 680i boards, go back a bit, you will see TONS of reports of them killing ram,

largon · Feb 23, 2008

X38 has native DDR2/3 support, no external converters are needed.

And for some reason 680i only kills ram that is overvolted ~30% and up... Even D9 dies at such voltage.

Yeah. My Spot Cool is blowing on both it, and the ram.

Hey, breaking parts gives me a reason to grovel to the woman for upgrades. :roll:

erocker · Feb 23, 2008

Wile E, what kind of voltage/timings can/should I use @ 1066 for these things? Transcends site is down.

Wile E · Feb 23, 2008

2.1v 5-5-5-15 or, you could try for 4-4-4-12 2.2V, and see if it happens.
