Don't burn in TCCD, no need.

It seems that Winbond modules (CH-5, BH-5, UTT) seem to benefit from long periods of time spent under constant memtesting (24 hours+), in that they become more overclockable the more you work them out. Burning in is this process. Burning in can also happen over a long period of time through normal usage, but the Burn-in people usually refer to is using memtest86+ to constantly stress the memory for many hours at a time.

Attempting to do this to TCCD however can ruin the modules.

Never heard of such thing
Do you have any further information on that?

I guess he means that TCCD modules wont take the heat as much as Winbond ram would, including any voltage thats above 3v is too much for them.
