:down: Well it was worth a try, 24hours in the freezer 2 in front of a fan then......still dead.
I'm now leaving in for a week but only cos I'm a real optomist :)

I'll be checking tomorrow just how cold the freezers at work are....if <-18 deg then the ram can live in one of those for a week :)
Hm, mine D9MGH are still dead, frezzer@-5C/30Hour's
One of my Kingston Hyperx 1066 SLi sticks fatally stopped working and after a while (a week or more) working again "without vaseline or deep freezer" just wrapped 'em with aluminum foil for saving their lives ;) I love 'em...

-5'c isn't very cold, try something colder maybe?Quote:

Freezer didn't work for me.. maybe I need to leave them in longer than 24hrs, but for me it was a no-go.
Mine worked fine after put em to Dice in plastic bag, yeah my freezer goes only to -5*c so DICE is other option :D
Ooh I should try LN2 overnight :p:
Please vote Yes ;)
Im trying the same with a D9GMH kit at the moment, tomorrow will see if it works correctly again and give some feedback here ;)
too cold:rofl:Quote:

Well they run under LN2 so I'm sure they'd be fine. Anyway, my sticks are doing 3.3v/DI this weekend, wish me luck :up:
No g ofor me... Off to RMA they go.

After like a month that they've spent in the drawer I would try them and they would boot normally again, with same OCing capabilities. Till now, I didn't know why this happened but it seems they just needed to chill-out a bit :D
well, I put a dead D9GMH kit on the freezer for last night, looks like only one of the sticks is alive (1360 CAS5) now, will try again with the other one :D
I'll shove my D9s in the freezer again later. Try for a week this time @ -25c, long shot, but worth a go I guess.
it wont matter how long its frozenQuote:
