My ram died

btarunr · Feb 23, 2008

Another casualty in the hands of Wile E. :laugh:

That's nice though, an overclocker's got to be fearless.

I've been running @ DDR2 1200 2.2v 5 5-5 15 since I got them with no problems and they are extremely cool. :rockout:

This thread makes me want to back down a little anyways.

nah, I think it was really just a defective stick. I didn't even push these as hard as my Ballistix. I've run 2.45V thru my Ballistix to get a bench out of them, and ran them 24/7 for 9 months @ 2.3V 1000MHz 4-4-4-12. I never went above 2.34V with these Transcends, which are also D9, so my money is on defect.

naaa i blame the curse of WileE for it, your just to hard on hardware.......

Normally, yeah. But I was gentle with this ram. lol.

No man, thats just Micron D9 DDR2 for ya, they're somewhat brittle IC's.

Honestly, these are the only D9s I've managed to kill. (And that's pretty amazing if you look at my track record. I kill everything. :roll:

)

ChillyMyst · Feb 23, 2008

note his siggy, hes very good at killing hardware, and voiding warrintys

Cold Storm · Feb 23, 2008

Also note his avatar... Those eyes and the girl that has them, just kills anyone without thought... Very true to your ways wile e

ChillyMyst · Feb 23, 2008

ColdStorm not quite, theres on person she dosnt kill, and wont kill, if you have acctualy watched the whole seirse

*needs a good copy of elfenlied*

DaMulta · Feb 23, 2008

That's what she said.

@damulta :roll:

ChillyMyst · Feb 23, 2008

hey, ill take the chix from elfenlied, they are less scary then some i have ended up dating around here

Pandaz3 · Feb 23, 2008

About two years ago I had my UL8 inexplicably shutdown.. I had a Ram failure, but I believe that the transistor on the Motherboard that controls ram voltage failed One stick of Ram was dead and one Memory slot on the board too. I could not get anther 512 stick of the Great Super Talent single sided ram so I had to accept a set of double sided. (Works Fine) and I had to RMA the Motherboard, but all is well with that machine since.

cdawall · Feb 24, 2008

so what do you plan to kill next wileE? im waiting for the explosion!

You keeping your chipset cold wiliE?

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

tell me more of this theory...iv had problems ocing since i got my 4GB kit...and my NB is at like 60ºC all the time perhaps its my nb?

largon · Feb 24, 2008

Solaris17,
Chipsets on a Hammer platform has no effect whatsoever on RAM OC or otherwise. DaMulta was talking about Wile E's Intel board which ofcourse has an MCH in NB.

I already killed 2 8800GT 1GB Palits cards in the past month, just haven't said anything. lol. As soon as my 100Kohm trimpots get here, there may be a 3rd casualty. :roll:

btarunr · Feb 24, 2008

Actually he's more apt for the user name Chipzilla. Have chips, will die.

ChillyMyst · Feb 24, 2008

lol, true, hey WileE why dont you buy everything from acme?

So when you increace vMCH in the BIOS on Intel boards you're increacing voltage to the memory controller and not really the northbridge? :/

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.

P35 boards support DDR3....well some do, like the Gigabyte GA P35T-DS3P and the Asus P5K3 Deluxe
