Don't treat your MGH-E's carelessly.
They're not highlander.
They don't die as easily as the MNH-E's did, but they're not immortal as well ;)

don't go beyond 1.75v ...
1.65v-1.71v ....just to be on the safe side...
OK..Running 1.7v now. 1.74v just for benchmark
I have a lot in the closet:D- the ones who are in use at the moment work at 1600 8-8-8-24 1T at 1,3Volts- I think thats enough for 24/7- none of my Hyper have seen more than 1,66Volts for benching till now, time will come when I have to give a little bit more^^- but til now for 1150 C8 and over 2000 C7 this was enough
Yep... my guess is: hyper chips were not really made for continuous use of 1.65V+. So be careful with them, especially as they cannot be replaced like dead 980X. :D
Mine died ( 1 stick ) and the other 2 degraded while they were running at just 1.57V :D
The best advice ( as ridiculous as it might seem ) is Dino's.
If it's your only kit, the kit you're benching with actually, I would only use them when I bench.
Maybe... but I was assuming brainpower pcbs (many mf use) should not be the cause for it. If the pcb were the problem, wouldn't Elpida have told the manufacturers how to do it correctly?
Itīs a shame Goodram doesnīt sell in Germany- would have been fine to get a kit for testing them^^- especially as I have a real bad Corsair allergy:p: and it is hard to find good Hypers:D
a lot of memory is ref pcb these days... micron and elpida and samsung want to sell dimms, not chips... sometimes chips cost more than a complete ref dimm with chips on it... why? they have to create ref designs and dimms anyways for the oems, why pay for that and then enable other pcb makers to compete with you? instead they artificially increase the price of individual dram chips so it makes more sense to buy a ref dimm from them, which means their customers subsidize their ref design and pcb manufacturing :D
so i really dont think it was the pcb...
why would elpida even have gotten involved then... if customers use bad pcbs, thats 100% their problem, i dont think elpida would have cared...
Agree. Bad ICs are bad!^^ :D
Hope they learnt from it.
son of a biatch
all but one of my hypers which have been sitting in a draw for months have come back to life........i have a magic draw (like Marcus' CPU draw :D)
One stick of Hyper dead [Reaper 1866 C8], was runnign 1.63V at around 1800Mhz 8-7-8-20. Gotta RMA now but im wondering since OCZ dont stock hypers anymore what am I gonna get? Powerchips? :D
I know man. I sent them a ticket 2 months back when it died, they offered me OCZ Gold 1866 C10 (dunno which use they use but definitely a step down). When I told them I will not accept it and asked why they were offering me an inferior product, they said they didnt have anything left in stock and were developing new kits so he asked me to wait, which I did.
They should be offering powerchips at least. Thats the only replacement I can get for my hypers.
You mean they will offer me Micron? Sad. I had hypers, that I know :)
Well, they are offering me OCZ3RPR1600C6LV6GK, rated 1600Mhz 6-8-6-24. Should be an OK exchange I guess. I wonder what IC they use, most probably Micron but not sure which one
Sorry for the OT
My educated guess says that is PSC's bandwagon.
